The “Flu" scare and talk will some
day be like a mule-story. The story
goes that a certain man, who had liv
ed in the country all his life, had a
mania for trading mules. He lubored
unceasingly and managed to save
enough money to buy him a one-horse
farm. (» the course of time he trad
ed this farm for a (rood mule. In a
few months he found a “victim” and
traded the mule he had for one i a lit
tle sorrier—but still he did not lose
his taste for trading mules. To brin(t
this story to a close—he finally trad
ed the sixth mule for several bantom
chickens. Every one of them took the
cholera and died—aad thus the same
fate of the “Flu”.

Whea some of the Bainbridge peo
ple, who we could mention, do die—
there win he nothin* exciting happen
ing. It has been circulated lately that
several were dead and within an hour
that porson would appear on the
streets.
*****
In a certain store the other day one
of the youn* ladies who filled our
order for a pound of candy, looked
horrified when we called for a pound.
There are more folks around here
‘‘candy hungry” besides us.

The day has dawned in Bainbridge
when money cannot hire help. When
one (joes to a negro now and tries to
hire them, telling them that they will
pay any price—why said party is look
ed at in disgust—money it 3eems no
longer counts.
*****
If there is any one subject that is
discussed more than the “Flu” it is—
“Another case of Flu.”

The fourth liberty bond drive end
ed victoriously for Bainbridge and
Decatur county and we would put up
money on it that the same thing will
happen during the United War Work
drive. Decatur county is one of the
few counties in the state which lias
a perfect organization. Everything
is harnessed in our county and when
the signal is given the horses will run
a race that has never before been
seen in this county.
*****
Something new is always happen
ing to give the idle gossipers some
thing to talk about. Wonder what
will be the next thing to happen.

There has never been a time when
this grand county of Decatur was so
afire with patriotism as now. You
can interest any man in the county
when you talk to him about war—but
it makes one want to fight you to
even intimate peace—much less talk
it.
*****
Several of the Bainbridge mothers
are wondering how their “Johny”
took the “Flu" when they kept them
in the back yard all day, except when
they culled them in every hour to
gargle their throats and take a new
medicine.
Last Sunday seemed like the Sun
days before the war, The folks here
took advantage of the ban being rais
ed from using gasoline—and the way
they did ride.

And now everybody who does not
believe that we have our living place
decorated—just call around and see
our “American Beauty Roses.”

If your mind is filled—how in the
world can you squeeze in another
thought?
Four new members have been add
ed to the $100.00 war saving stamp
club since the last issue of this paper.
The people of Decatur county seem
to be awakening to the fact of what
this club really means. By Christ
mas we hope to surprise many with a
patriotic present.

There is a little white boy, who
looks to be about five year* old who
passes here every day puffing away
on a cigarette. Will someone teH us

Women Tortured
Suffer Terribly With Corns Because
of High Heels, But Why Care Now.
Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then pro
ceed to trim these pests, seeking re
lief, but they hardly realize the ter
rible danger from infection says a
Cincinnatti authority.
Corns can easily be lifted out with
the fingers if you will get from any
drug store a quarter of an ounce of
a drug called freezone. This is suf
ficient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from one's feet. You
simply apply a few drops directly
upon the tender, aching corn or cal
lus. The soreness is relieved at once
and soon the entire corn or callus,
root and all, lifts out without one
particle of pain.
This freezone is a sticky substance
which dries in a moment. It just
shrivels up the corn without inflam
ing or even irritating the surrounding
tissue or skin. Tell your wife about
this.
