It has boon clearly' proved that Ger
many sought to exploit the conquered
territory for the doliberatii purpose of
crippling the resources of those coun
tries and at the snmo time provide
themselves with the means of carry
ing on their tonquests indefinitely.
The program was the theme of an
open boast in a report to the Prussian
Diet in February, 1917. It was made
by Deputy ficumer and was in part
as follows: '" '" ,
"Anybody who knows the present
state of things in Belgian industry
will agree; with mo that it must take
at least some years assuming that
Belgium is independent at nil before
Belgium qgn oven thinlpf competing
witn us in the world market. And
anybody who has travelled, as I have
done, through the occupied districts
of France, will agree with, me that so
much damage has been done to in
dustrial property that no one need be
a prophet in oVder to Buy that it will
tuke more than ten years beforo we
need to think of Franco as a competi
tor or of the re-establishment of
French industry." ,
This exploitation for the benefit of
German Industry hits been going on
from the very first duys of the occu
pation in each of the conquered terri
tories. It is an outgrowth from "tho
Itnthcnau Plan" which has made it
possible for Germany to continue tho
war. . , '.'

HEALTH BOARD
INFLUENZA
Ask People to Be Careful and Take
Proper Treatment Promptly Many
Pneumonia Casus Follow Influen
zaWhat to Do.
To be prepared for the serious out
breaks of Influenza and Pneumonia
that are now sweeping over the entire
community Public Health Boards ev
eiywhcro are issuing cautions and in
structions to the public not to neglect
treatment at tho firs); symptom of a
jold and to co-operule with tho board
and physicians in stamping out the
lpreud.of the disease. '
No disease develops so quickly or
tpreads so rapidly. The first symp
tom is a sharp rise in temperature to
1(13 or 104 degrees,; headache, pain in
;hc back, throat feeling dry or sore.
Unless promptly checked by proper
treatment, the best plan is to go to
bed and stay there for at least a week,
keeping warm to avoid pneumonia and
lot the minor nilment run its course
and also prevent the spread of the
iliseaso to others.
Most of us, in these busy duys, can
not afford, if it can be avoided, to lose
a week or more of work so it is all the
more necessary that at the very first
sign of grip or' influenza a counter
acting treatment should be tuken.
Probably no better or more effec
tive treatment could be followed at
such a time, than to get from the
nearest tlrug store a. Complete Hyomci
outfit consisting of a bottle of the
pure Oil of Hyomei and a little vest
pocket, hard rubber inhaling device
into which a few drops of the oil are
poured. -
Thisl is all you will need. Put the
Inhaler in your mouth nnd breathe its
uir deep into tho passages of your
nose, throat and lungs. Every purticle
of air that. enters your breathing or

r.lseptic germ-killing balsam that will
absolutely destroy , tho germs of in
fluenza that have found lodgment
there. '
You can't do this too often. The
Ilyomci Inhaler is small and can be
conveniently carried in a hand-bag or
in your vestpookct. Every half hour
or so throughout the day take it out
and draw a few breaths of its pure
healing nir into your pose nnd tliront
Relief conies almost instantly. The
Crip or Influenza symptoms subside.
Congestion censes, fevor disappears,
throat conditions become normal and
you soon nre feeling fine. The outfit
i3 not at all expensive for the rubber
inhaler will last a life-time while the
Oil of Hyomei can be obtained at
little cost from nny reliable druggist.
Lots of people already have n Hyomei
Inhaler. Take it out, charge it nnd
use it without delay. If you haven't'
one get it today.
' A few cents spent now may easily
prevent serious illness nnd save you
many dollars and help slump out the
spread of tho disease. Adv.
Look closer at the clothes
