Don't Let Catarrh
You
' Avoid Its Dangerous Stage.
There is a more serious stage of
Catarrh than the annoyance caused
by the stopped-up air passages, and
the hawking and spitting and other
distasteful features.
The real danger comes from the
tendency of the disease to continue
Its course downward until the lungs
become affected arid then dreaded
consumption is on your path. Your
own experience has taught you that
the disease cannot be cured by

His body covered with sores and

the Oreeon Soldiers' horn, at Koaeburg,
finally collapsed while endeavoring to
reach the dining room,and not until tneB
waa he given the attention the old man
should have received.
This ia the report which eomeg from
the home under the management of Com
mandant K. C. Markee. Hoover fought
i nthe Civil War as a member of the 33d
Wisconsin infantry. He came to the
Oregon Soldiers' Homo about two years
ago. Thinly clad and in feeble conai
tion..
Commandant Markee gave him a room
on the third floor, making it necessary
for him : climb the stairs going to and
from hig room. It is reported that no
effort was made to lcarn the old sol
dier 'g condition, and he climbed up and
down the stairs as long as his strength
would permit and finally collapsed on
the mess room floor a. ho was frying
t0 go to dinner.
He wag taken to -the hospital by a
waitress and there the nurse discovered
the terrible condition of the man's body.
Secre.ary B. B. Gpodin of the state
board of control has just returned from
Roseburg, where he verified a report
that Commandant Markee has been fi
ling to the old soldiers the matches
provided by the state for teem.-He al
so hag been selling them tobacco. He
said he was using the money to buy
postage stamps.
As the matches are state property pr
vided for 'ie home, he was told not to
require the soldierg to buy tnem.
Even since Markee was appointed
commandant at the home, which was
soon after Governor Withycombe eome
into office, there has been more or less
trouble. Bocause of trouble he was
making, the state board .took control of
the hospital away from him and gave
the physician in charge full control.The
board also had to call him on the carpet
when he could not get along with the
architect who was supervising ,(he con

Persons Weak And Run Down
Easy Victims - Fortify
Yoorseif Against It By
Taking Tanlac
According to late reports issued by
state and federal, health authorities
the Spanish influenz epidemic is rap
idly spreading to all parts of the
country, and it now seems that prac
tically -every state in the union will
be seriously affected before it runs
ita eouree, ' k
It has not only become a groat and
terrifying menace to the public health
but unless checked, it is apt to ser
iously affect the progress of war work
in all it various departments. Already
the shipping board has announced that
ten per cent of its workers have been
affected.
.The disease has made its greatest pro
gress in the east where it has claimed
its victims by the thousands. Reports
from other sections, however, are equal
ly alarming; and both civil and mili
tary, authorities have warned the pub
lie to take every precaution to pre
vent its further spread. In many cit
ies schools, churches and theaters have
been closed and public gatherings of
all kinds forbidden.
Medical authorities agree that peo
ple who are weak and rundown are the
earliest victims of the influenza, pi
demie. If you find yourself tired, weak
and losing flesh, or if you are in a
generally run down condition, or if you
catch cold easily this warning should
be heeded promptly. You are really in
great dangerbecause the germ of this
disease is very catching and you are
apt to fall an easy victim if you eome
in contact with the germs. People who
are well and strong are not likely to
contract the disease because they are
able to throw it. off. The common sense
way to keep from taking it is to fortify
the system against attack by building
up the constitutor
In other words to use the old adage,
"An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure." And it you are in
sub-normal condition the proper tning
to do is to begin immediately to build
up your powers of resistance. To ac
complish, this, nothing oa earth will
strengthen you and build you up like
Tanlac. the powerful reconstructive ton
ic, which contains -the very elements
needed by the system to give you fight
ing strength and ward off the influ
enza germ.
First of all Tanlac begins its action
by creating a good healthy appetite for
wholesome, nourishing food, and assists
every organ of the body to perform
its natural functions, thus helping to
build up health and strength in the
natural way.
- Tanlac is also the ideal strengthen
ing tonic for persons who are suffering
from the alter errects oi iniiucnza,
erinoe or bronchial troubles and hun
dreds of -thousands are using it daily
with the most .gratifying results.
In connection with the Tanlac treat
ment, it i neeessary to keep the bow
els open by taking Tanlac Laxative
Tablets, aamples of which are includ
ed with every bottle of Tanlac. It is
also important that "the every day
rules of hygiene be observed; that is,
sleep in well ventifated rooms, get
plenty of fresh air and exercise and
