OREGON BANKERS OVER TOP Director of Sales of Treasury Certifi cates Pays Them a Compliment, E. W. Wilson, director of sales of certificates of indebtedness of the Fed era! Reserve Bank, compliments Ore gon bankers in supporting the Govern mcnt preceding the flotation of the fourth liberty loan. In a letter to E. G. Crawford, president of the Oregon Remember "The Three Cs" To Avoid Influenza Grip has come up smiling, in a new form called "Spanish influenza." It has become epidemic in many places. Ordinary influenza, always prevalent at this time of the year, is bad enough, often leaving more serious troubles in its wake. The Surgeon General of the Army recently issued twelve rules to the public, to safeguard against the spread of respiratory diseases. The fourth of these rules is as follows: "4. Remember the three Cs A Clean Mouth, Clean Skin and Clean Clothes." Kolynos Dental Cream will give you clean teeth, a clean mouth, and a clean throat. This sanitary clean liness endures for several hours and greatly dimin ishes the danger of infection! Use Kolynos three times daily, according to the printed directions accompanying every tube. If the nasal passages appear irritated, put a little Kolynos Cream in the entrance of the nostrils for about ten minutes. The application can be renewed several times daily. The air passages are thus noticeably dis infected by the vapor of Kolynos inhaled through the process of breathing. In these times, internal cleanliness is of supreme im portance to you and to your neighbor. J The Kolynos Company New Haven, Conn. U. S. A. their patriotic conduct. He says: "Ore gon is a conspicuous example or the results of 'organization and co-operation. On two occasions every bank In Oregon participated In the current of ferings of certificates. This record is without a parallel in the entire coun try." The total of the quotas of the differ ent issues of certifiicates was $289,600, 000 for the Twelfth Federal Reserve District. Total sales were 1300,020,000, an excess of ?15,420.000 over the quotas. averaged 134.48 per cent for all the series. Oregon's oversubscription to the final series was sufficient to more than compensate for the deficiency of other states of the district. 90 many collations of sandwiches, coffee, etc., have been served to train -loads of hungry troops passing through Lynchburg, Va.. by the patriotic women of that southern city that the Army, out of a sense of gratitude, has dubbed the place "Lunchburg." - . - X' X -r "ZzL - -1 j Insistiip ' a 'Boot Stops Glove -Fitted to the Low Shoe or Boot All that a spat should be and more so different in style.
