Why shiver around on
these cold mornings
and evenings and in-
vite the germs of colds,
“ grip” and influenza
to attack you or mem­
bers of your family?
Keep warm, keep dry,
keep clean and breathe
pure air and you’ll soon
save the price of the
stove in doctors’s bills
and medicine.

Spanish Influenza Preventatives
(By the Surgeon General U. S. A.)
1. Avoid needless crow ding—in­
fluenza is a crowd disease.
2. Sm other your cough and

germ s w hich you would throw away.
3. Your nose, not your m outh,

clothes.
5. Try to keep cool When you
w nlk, w arm when you ride and
sleep.
6. Open the windows alw ays at
home at night; at the office when
practicable.
7. Food will win the w ar if you
give it a chance—help by choosing
and chew ing your food well.
8. Your fate m ay be in your own
hands—w ash your hands before eas­
ing.
ft. Don’t let the w aste product of
digestion accum ulate—drink a glass
or two of w ater on getting up.
10. Don’t use a napkin, towel,
spoon, fork, glass or cup which has
been used by another person and
not washed.
