"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.

preparation to be secured than Dreco
to keep the bowels and kidneys moving
regularly. 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.
MISS MACtLL HOME.
Miss Saidee Magi 11 is at home after

"As You Were" is one of those
snappy productions that goes with
the pep that characterizes military
undertakings. The principals of the show
are all artists who, prior to the <
war, endeared themselves to thou- '
sands of theatregoers throughout (
the land, and as a result of their
efforts the show is one that can take
its place with any production now '
running on Broadway or elsewhere.
