ROLL CALL COMMITTEE MEETS. The appalling ravages of Spanish In fluenza in this country are perhaps best realized by the statement recently made that more deaths have resulted in little more than a month from this disease than through our whole eighteen months participation in the battles of the European war. Our greatest danger now, declare au thorities, is the great American ten dency to forget easily and to believe the peril is over. Competent authori ties claim the coming of cold weather Is very apt to bring a return of this disease and there should be no let-up throughout the winter months of the following easily observed precautions, remembering that influenza is far easier to prevent than cure. Influenza is a crowd disease. Avoid crowds as much as possible. Influenza germs spread when ignorant or care less persons sneeze or cough without Mslng a handkerchief. Cover up each tough or sneeze. Do not spit on the floor, sidewalk, in street cars- or pub ' lie places. Avoid the use of common flrinking cups and roller towels in pub lic places. Breathe some reliable ger micidal and antiseptic air to destroy the germs that do find lodgment in four nose and throat. Remember, no safer precaution against Influenza, .could be employed in his manner than to get from R. R, Bellamy's drug store a complete Hyo iei Outfit consisting of a bottle of the Pure oil of Hyomei and a little vest- focket hard rubber inhaling device, nto which a few drops of the oil are poured. You should carry this Inhaler bout with you during the day and each half hour or so put It in your tnouth and draw deep breaths of its " ure, healing germ killing air into the passages of your nose, throat and lungs. By destroying germs before they ac tually begin work in your blood, you tnay make yourself practically im- tnune to infection. All these suggestions about Spanish Influenza are equally true in "the pre vention of colds, catarrh o nose and throat, bronchitis and even pneumonia. Don't become careless. Do your part. Keep the germs away. You may, save yourself a serious illness and the. loss of several weeks' work. adv. ttvv Will Assemble at Noon in the Chamber of Commerce to.

Private Mason, who fought with the Canadian soldiers until wounded at Vimy Ridge and sent to "Blighty," while recuperating, worked through various Red Cross hospitals in France and England and so is qualified to speak with authority on the great work accomplished by the Red Cross in its noble work among the soldiers. Private Mason, incidentally, had some wonder ful experiences while fighting the bloomin' Hun and is prepared to relate some highly exciting accounts of his atempts to get the Boche and at the same time keep the Boche from get ting him.
