La grippe seems to be losing its hold in
Bridgton, particularly among the young peo-
pie. as shown by the full attendance In the

quite severe cases now, however. which do
not yield kindly to treatment, though no case
has resulted fatally In town as vet.

slsting to place a heavy cake of ice in the
ice.house at the Butter Factory, the ice

Roes on the side of the head and causing
several quite severe wounds. 1t is a wonder

The present winter. thus far. seems to
nave been very favorable one for teaming

cellent
