Along the line of food con- servation, and a most important fae- tor in that work, is the fact that wherever possible rats and. mice, which consume an incredible amount of ‘grain and stored food products, be destroyed. It is conservatively esti- mated that rats and mice cause an annual loss in the United States alone of $200,000,000. This waste can be, in.a large measure, stopped; first, by “huilding against” rats and mice (i. e. making buildings rat proof) and secondly, by trapping and poison- ing. Citizens should, in every way possible, keep all dttractive food away from these pests and by abol- ishing-litter and refuse, deny them shelter. Apart from its disease bear- ing function (the rat is, by means of its fleas, a carrier of bubonic plague and is possibly also a factor in the spread of infantile paralysis), it is well to remember that in the United States alone, it requires the labor of two hundred thousand annually to provide for tlhie waste of our food resources, through the agency of this filthy ‘pest. .

Franklin Duade. : Many people have been frightened by what they have read or heard of influenza. The more you fear the disease, the surer you are to get it. Go right -about your business and forget it. As the disease is spread principally by contact thru sneezing, coughing ~or spitting, many health authorities have advised that every- one wear a gauze, which is daily washed and saturated with a one to five hundred solution of zinc sulphate in water, and then dried before wear- ing over the nose and mouth. You should avoid crowds, common drink- ing cups and public towels. Kcep your strength up by taking lots of exercise in the open air and pleuty of nourishing food. If you have any of such symptoms as chilliness; nasal obstructions, flushed face, headache, feverishness, restlessness, weakness, or irritating cough, give up work at once and go to bed. 'This will save your strength to help overcome the disease. Put your feet in hot water for fifteen minutes. Thoroughly loosen the bowels with some such mild and non- {rritating physics as Dr. Pierco’s Pleasant Pellets. Drink principally of hot lemonade and then cover up with plenty of clothes in bed so as to get a good sweat. When sweating is free and the fever reduced take a 1 dose of two Anuric Tablets every four Y 7{ hours, followed by drinking at least 4 i a glass or two of hot water. Anuric Tablets help quickly to relieve the i { 3 ¥ - - B e goreness of the muscles and bones from which most patients complain They Are Always on Top In Every: Walk-of Life and help the kidneys flush out the It ds o fact that red blooded men poisons.
