A list of simple rules for the treatment of influenza af Ir' sym o ptoms have developed and the r services of a physician and nurse cannot be obtained, was issued 3 by Dr. Dowliig Friday afternoon - for the benefit ot the large pro portion of the public unable to obtain medical aid. The first instruction is to avoid large quanities of patent drugs about which little is known, sim ple remedies are best. Go to bed - in a room open to plenty of sun l light and air. If in pain from the eyes, head, or other parts of the body, take from 5 to 10 grains of asparin every hour until three or four doses have been taken. This is merely for the relief of pain and has no curative value. d For children the dose must be half. If fever runs to 103 or 104 degrees take 5 grains of quinine in doses two hours apart, If a laxative is needed take 45 to 130 Bc grains of sodium phosphate.An other good blxatire is calomel, 4 not exceeding one grain in small 21 doses, followed by a dose of salts. 39 ___ b58 g MANY PREMIUMS ARE OFFERED FOR CORN 100 Corn growing is steadily improv- 15 ing in Louisiana. Its importance 178 )n cannot be overestimated. This is the 208 of view entertained by the State Fair 241 Association, which offers approxi- 271 mately $1,000 in cash premiums for 295 the best specimens of corn at this 324 '8 year's State Fair, October 30 to No- 341 vember 4, inclusive. 36( Some years ago corn was consider- 37( ed only a secondary crop in many 39A sections of Louisiana, but the situa tion is changing, due to the efforts of 40 the State Fair and other agencies 42` 8. working for the greater upbuilding 441 18 of the state's resources, and there 45 seems to be no limit to the possibili- 47 - ties connected with the production of 481 this product. The premiums are of il fered, not only to encourage more t farmers to raise corn on a large sl Ud scale, but to impress the corn grow- $ c.- era with the necessity of using ad ti vanced methods, selecting good seed U and following other modern plans for ' developing the industry. h. That wonderful strides have been rt- made will be evidenced by the big Lte exhibition at the State Fair. It will B be in charge of Prof. A. F. Kidder, of n- the chair of agronomy, Louisiana )le State University. With the country at war and the el need for food production the largest tc he in history, Uncle Sam is looking to o- the farmers to produce more than ever before. Every ear of corn pro- Ci . duced is a bullet for the Kaiser. The b State Fair is a school for learning nd how best to product it. For further information and catalog nt write to W. R.
