"Spanish Influenza"? Some Facts About It And How To Prevent Its Spread RULES TO OBSERVE GIVEN BY THE SURGEON GENERAL OF THE U. S. ARMY. "Spanish" Influenza is a serious matter, and something of a mystery. It probably originated in the ranks of the German army and in prison camps. It no doubt spread * from there southward through Spain and northward into Holland, France, England and the Scandinavian coun-| i tries. America was free from it until August 12th, when a Norwegian steamer arrived at an Atlantic Port, having over 200 cases on the voyage. ; Whether this marks the entry of the epidemic or not, the fact remains 7 ; that "Spanish Influenza" is here and ? is a serious menace, much like the familiar grippe that was epidemic in - ? 1889-90, only then it came from T , Russia.1 ' The disease is not alarming in itj self if proper precautions are taken, : i bat without cure, the high fever and ' , the likelihood of pneumonia to fol; low make it extremely dangerous. i tk.

Dreco is made from the juice and extracts of roots, herbs barks and berries and is perfectly harmless but quick in its action. Every person who has had influenza ;hould take a good tonic to build up their system. Dreco is great for a tonic and strength producer. Get a bottle of Dreco today and I let every member of the family take out of it. Sold in Abbeville by P. B.

SOLDIERS GO HOME ON REDUCED FARES Washington, Nov. 19.?Director General McAdoo today announced his intention of establishing a reduced oasseneer rate of two cents a mile, instead of the usual three cents for soldiers returning to their homes after discharge from the army. By law soldiers are allowed three and one-half cents a mile for transportation and meals, and the special fare will enable them, Mr. McAdoo believes, to buy meals and pay for sleeping car reservations out of the allowance.
