our forefathers social evening meant

were the prominent features i'll an
evening gathering. Now it is the
rush and crush the effort to excel
ones neighbor in the grand setout of I'll

from dipther etc sore throat, and the
children also. DR.. Gardiner, the
family physician, after thoroughly
examining ha premises, has decided
that much of this illness is owing to
the presence OF the large ferns and
plants that are u.el in decorating the
rooms. The large boxes i'll which these
plants are grown, some Of them trees

the decorations must be OF less Inpos-
