tonnage.

Sixteen hundred public school te&ch•rs today received a request from Robert C. 8haw, county superintendent, asking them to urge the cause of coal production in the schools. Bimllar letters went to parochial echool teachers from Father Gilbert. In every school in the county an appeal from James S. Amend, district production manager, was read, to the children. Bach child was asked to take home the appeal for, increased production •nd tomorrow will be asked the result of his appeal. Then will come daily production talks by the teachers.

TtttSSG appeals to tlie cMWren trill fee made throughout the school year. "Whils you cannot go to the trenches, you can do something right bere at home to help win the war Amend said In his appeal to the children. "Tour government has asked •very miner in the United States to *ise his pick as a weapon to defeat the kaiser. Every ton of coal means more soldiers to France to fight for a free World. Every ton of coal means that your brothers and fathers and friends Who are fighting over there will keep warm and be properly fed this winter. It means clothing, fuel and ammunition for the guns. "If the children of ffeStthoretafid County do their duty in this war, they help defeat the German rule that has meant sneering and sorrow to hundreds of thousands of children in Europe. If you fail, the big brothers, thi cousins and fathers who are lighting over there must wait for food that doesn't come—food that is delayed because there is no coal for tft* •hips. It means that your brothers And friends in the American army must retreat—a. word the American soldier has never learned—and all because there was no coal for the munition plants. "When you go home tonight, ask daddy to dig a little more coal tomorrow, to work a little harder—for you and for America. Ask your brothers and friends to work harder, too. Ask them not to»stay away from the mines •—because idleness today means suffering for the boys and girls of Franc® mad Belgium and Italy tomorrow. Talk about it at supper—in a good-night kiss—and at breakfast. Ask mamma to Jtelp, too. It is your chance to be a real soldier. Ask daddy to hit the kaiser with his pick. The pick in the mine is the best attack for America. •This is your chance to fight—in an ajxpeal for coal—more coal. Don't stop nrftll the war is won."

ToAvoid and Reieve Influenza

BY DR. FRANKLIN for AN K. Many people have been frightened by What they have read or heard of Influ*nsa. The more you fear the disease. .. the surer you are to get it. Go right i about your business and forget it. As 21 ^he disease is spread principally by

contact through sneezing, coughing or •pitting, many health authorities have advised that everyone wear p. gauze, which is dally washed and saturated with a one to five hundred solution of sine sulphate in water, and then

dried before wearing over the nose and i crat. mouth. You should avoid crowds, com- Honey rmon drinking cups and public towels, crat.

A Dead Stomach

Is,

Of What Use Is Ii?

Thousands? yes hundreds of thousands of people throughout America are taking the slow death treatment daily.

They are murdering their own stomach, the best friend they have, and in their sublime ignorance they think they ar3 putting aside the laws of nature.

This Is no sensational statement it is a startling fact, the truth of which i any honorable physician will not dsnr.

These thousands of people are swallowing daily huge quantities of pepsin

and other strong digestives, made especlally to digest the food in the Stomach without any aid at all from the digestive membrane ot, the stomach.

M.i-o-na stomach tablets relieve distressed stomach in five minutes: thev do more. Taken regularly for a few weeks they build up the run down stomach and make it strong enough to digest its own food. Then Indigestion, belching, sour stomach and headache i will go.

ICi-o-na stomach tablets are sold i by druggists everywhere and by Baur's Pharmacy, tfcsm.—Adv.

HAIR COMING OUT?

Dandruff causes a feverish irritation of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen and then' the hair comes out fast. To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dandruff, get a small bottle of D«nderine at any drugr store for a few cents, pour a. littl in your hand and rnb it into the scalp. After several applications the hair stops coming out and you can't find any dandruff.—Adv.

Hurry, Mother! Bemova Poisons Erom Little Stomach, Liver, Bowels.

Give California Syrup of Figs'* if Cross, Bilious or Feverish.

V. *. v*"'\

Ko matter what alls your child, gentle, thorough laxative should always be the first treatment given.

If your little one is out-of-sorts, half-Sick, isn't resting, eating and acting naturally—look, mother! see If i tongue is coated. This is a sure sign that its little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with waste. "When cross, irritable, feverish, stomach sour, breath bad or has etomach-ache, diarrhoea, sore throat, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all the constipated poison, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of its little bowels without griping, and you have a well, playful child again.

Mothers can rest €aly after giving this harmless 'fruit laxative," because it never fails to cleanse the little one's liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach and they dearly love its pleasant taste. Full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups printed on each bottle.

Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," then see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company."—Advertisement.

When sweating Is free and the fever reduced take a dose of two Anuric Tablets every four hours, followed by drinking at least a glass or two of hot water. Anurlc Tablets help quickly to relieve the soreness of the muscles and bones from which most patients complain and help the kidneys flush out the poisons.

To relieve nasal obstructions and excessive discharge from the nose, probably nothing is better than such a mild, soothing, antiseptic wash as T)r. Sage's Catarrh Keniedy. It will Rive great relief. Employed as a garicle, in same strength as made up for use in the nose, and as hot as can be •borne, it quickly arrests soreness and in the th

dryness in the throat, Influensea weakens the patient's redistance to disease, so that there is danger of bronchitis and pneumonia developing. To combat this tendency and fortify the patient's strength insist that he keep in bed at least two days. Probably nothing will at this stage hasten the recovery and strengthen the patient more than an Iron-tonic tablet called "Irontic" or that well known herbal tonic.

HOW "TANKS" WERE BORN

DALLAS', Tex.. Oct. 81,—Tanks, ths great armored caterpillars that crept out over the battle fields of France and caused one of the war's many military sensations, were given their name by the curious folk of a little town near London.

The story was brought to Texas by Lieut. P. E. Kinsey, United btates army reserve, who is recruiting for the tank service.

The English war department was at work on a new weapon of offense in a small town near London and secrecy was of utmost importance. Guards were chosen from the tried men of the army and a tight enclosure erected around the work shops. Neighbors w»re barred from the locality and curiosity reached the limit as the pounding of automatic riveters, clanking of cranes and other noises gave evidence of the construction.

At that time the question of supplying water at the fighting fronts was an Important one and the neighborhood gossips, including all of the army, who knew that something was going on, decided that a new style of tank was being built. Thereafter the mystery was commonly referred to as the tanks.

When the first machine issued from the enclosure It did have a resemblance to a water tank. So It is as tanks that the armored cars have became known throughout the world.

The tank is an American idea, Lieutenant Kinsey said, although the first one was built in England by English mechanics.

Without the knowledge of ths other ally France also was experimenting simultaneously with a machine similar in structure, but on a smaller scale. The smaller tanks proved much more mobile and were adopted generally by the allies.
