This nation is at wary You
may not have realized the fact,
but it is a fact just the same.
You may have the idea that this
is a solders', war. If so you are
correct, hut you may be mistaken
in the number and personal of
all the soldiers. This term
should and does embrace every
man, woman and child in the
United States, but every one in
his own sphere. Some must
needs stay at home to form the
support line. If the support line
fails, all in front of it must
fail.
In the Liberty Loan drive now
on Mr. A. L. Jagoe is the gener
al in charge; Messrs. G. H.
Shelton and G. W. Cole are
brigadiers under him. The
chairmen of the different com
mittees are the colonels; the
committee members are the
majors, captains and lieutenants.
The volunteer workers are the
sergeants and corporals and the
masses are the privates.
If any one of these in the
support line fails to do his whole
duty he is just as much , to be
condemned as would be one of
the soldiers in the front line
trenches in France. The work of
the one is as necessary as the
work of the other. Our objec
tive has been set as definitely as
that of any division at the front.
The task set for this country
is $271,000. We must accom
plish this, or more. We m'ust
do it in the time set, or before1.
The boys over yonder sometimes
go beyond their objectives, and
there is no reason why we should
not. You will be called on to do
a definite part, consider well be
fore you allow yourself to fail.

A Mask Is as Good as a Mile
Although we call them "commo
colds," the various nose and throat in
fections which prevail so widely In the
glorious Springtime, the truth is, n:,
every doctor knows, that these a"
ments are not caused by cold weathe.
or cold air or anything like that. They
are caused by our loving friends. Wn
catch "cold" in precisely the sanKi
way that we catch diphtheria, by ex
posure to a previous case in another
person.
Here is a little lesson which should
be taught every child in school:
EVERY COLD IS CAUSED BY A
TRANSFER OF GERMS. FROM
ONE PERSON TO AN
OTHER. , How are the germs transferred? Oh,
that is easy enough. The open-face
sneeze does the trick. The unmuzzled
cough does it. A kiss will do it ad
sure as shooting.
Careful scientific tests have repeat
edly shown that when we sneeze,
cough, laugh or talk without holding
a handkerchief over the , , nose and
mouth, a' fine, Invisible spray of saliva
or secretion from the nose Is given off,
and this spray carries, as a $ile, for
some four or five feet from the face.
Therefore, if a susceptible person sits
or stands within five feet from the pa
tient who has a "simple cold" or a sim
ple sore throat, and the patient
sneezes or coughs openly, the fine
droplets of moisture may carry direct
ly to that susceptible person's nose or
mouth, and tomorrow the victim wl'l
discover that he has been foolish
enough to leave off his overshoes or
sit in a draft or something like that.
At any rate, by tomorrow the germs
have got him, and he has some kind
of alleged "cold."
Now, if every mother's son and
father's daughter of us were conscien
tious enough and polite enough to muz
Vie the mouth and nose when sneez
Ing or coughing, with handkerchief,
folds of ctafh, or even the- hand If
there isn't time to get out these other
things, why, the patient with a "cold"
would not be a menace to all his as
sociates. In well-conducted hospitals for men
ingitis, diphtheria, scarlet fever, pneu
monia and ether diseases known to bd
spread through discharges from nose
and throat, every nurse and physiciai
nowadays wears a face mask of two
or three layers of plain gauze or
cheesecloth as a protection against ac
cidental spraying by patients. This
face mask has been found a prettv
certain preventive of seHous sore
throat among nurses and physicians
caring for such patients.
The mask catches and holds any
floating droplets of moisture which
may perhaps be laden with germs.
A mask is as good as a mile, and bet
ter than gallons of alleged antiseptics.
DO YOU KNOW THAT
Poor health Is expensive?
Flyless town has few funerals?
It's worry and not work whicJi
shortens life?
Pneumonia kills over 120,000 Ameri
cans each year?
The well that drains the cesspool
is the cup of death?
A cold bath every morning Is the
best complexion remedy?
The U. S. Public Health Service ha3
reduced malaria 60 per cent in some
localities?
The death rate from typhoid fever
in the United 'States has been cut in
half since 1900?
If baby has fever or acute diarrhoea
stop the milk and send for the doctor.

Proof that Some Women
do Avoid Operations,
Mrs. Etia Dorion, of Ogdensburg, Wis., says:
"I suffered from femalo troubles which caused piercing pains
like a knife through my back and side. I finally lest all my
strength so I had to go to bed. The doctor advised an operation
buf I would not listen to it. I thought of what I had read about
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and tried it. Die first
bottle brought great relief and six bottles have entirely cured me.
All women who have female trouble of any kind should try
Lydia E. Pinkham'8 Vegetable Compound."
