How to Escape
FLU
Avoid so far as possible the places where
flu germs are most apt to be; crowded cais;
public meeting places; warm, stuffy rooms.
Be careful of close contact with others and
I beware of all coughers and sneezers; breathe
through the nose.
Get lots of rest. Eat plenty of citrus fruits.
r. Keep the bowels open. Take every precau
J tion to keep in good physical condition, so
your system will have high resistance against
germs.
4
Above all, avoid catching cold. Any cold
may be the forerunner of flu. Take Bayer
Aspirin at the first sign of a cold and you
can ward it off. Gargle with Bayer Aspirin
at first sign of sore throat as this will re
move the infection.
c If you have any reason to suspect even a
J touch of flu, call your doctor.

The GIFT of GIFTS for
the M'otorist.....a
GOODYEAR
BALLOON With Ail-Weather Tread
Goodyear Rubber Non-Skid Chains
afford you greater protection. They give protec
tion, PLUS ECONOMY, as the'y will not wear
the tires as metal chains do. A fine giflKor the
car owner. 0
He's sure to appreciate a Goodyear
selection himself.
The tread of the Goodyear All
Weather Balloon Tire is semi-flat
and scientifically designed to give
maximum traction and resistance to
skidding. Another big advantage is
long, slow, even tread wear.
You cannot find a tire that will af
ford you greater protection in cold,
wet weather and greater year-'round
tire mileage than GOODYEARS.
