SAYS COLD WEATHER BRINGS RETURN OF INFLUENZA Public Must Be Careful To Avoid A Second Epidemic. Easier To Prevent Than Cure. What To Do. Encouraging reports of the fewer cas es of Influenza in this vicinity should not allow us to relax our vigilance -or to lie become careless in the belief that the danger is over," says a well known au thority. With the coming of cold weath er there is apt to be a return of this frightful epidemic and its seriousness will depend on the extent of the precau tions, taken by the public, to prevent in fection. When the air is full of influenza germs, yon may be constantly breathing them in to your nose "and throat. But their dan ger may be avoided and you may make yourself practically immune to infection if you destroy the germ lie fore it actual ly liegins work in your blood. During the recent sorioUs epidemic, which hit Gastonia so hard, most suc cessful results were obtained by many through the simple breathing into the nose, throat and lungs of the medicated air of oil of Hyomei. Probably no liet ter, safer or more sensible precaution against Influenza. Grippe, Coughs, Colds. Bronchitis or Catarrh of the nose and throat could lie employed than .o go now to the nearest drug store ami get a complete Hyomei outfit consisting of a liottle of the pure Oil of Hyomei and a little vestpocket hard rubber inhaling device into which a few drops of the oil are (loured. Carry this inhaler with you during the day and each half hour or so put it in your mouth and draw deep breaths of its pure healing germicidal air into the pas sages of your nose, throat and lungs to destroy any germs that may have found lodgement there. This simple precaution may save you a serious illness and the loss of several , weeks work. It is pleas ant to use -ami not at all expensive as the inhaler will last a lifetime and further supplies of the Oil of Hyomei can lie had at any drug store for a few cents. - Hundreds of people in this vicinity used Hyomei in this way during the re cent crisis and avoided danger. They should not neglect it now for the danger is by no means over. J. H. Kennedy & Co., Druggists. ! '.y 1 ,i : ci -i ; i a;. I New tv v i . I AKLj. IV .

Dec 17. The home for the unfortunate of oin county is one of which the citizens ol dastou county should be Mustly proud, not because of its palatial appearance or interior decorations, but lioeause of its genuine home likeness, made so through the efforts of C.C.Craig, a most efficient siierintcnilent and a man who believes in home. A steam Ilea ted building, the installation of Dclco lights and a iiumbci ol other modem conveni enoes are enjoyed by the old folks. Their health at this tune is unusually good, not a case of the "tin" having invaded the home thus fai. A new potato house has been completed and now contains about too bushels of Nancy Hall potatoes. A large new smokehouse with concrete foun dation and concrete milk trough, modern and sanitary in every way, is sufficient to meet the imperative demand of "hog killing time.''
