there wasn't sign of her old disease and there
hasn't been sign of it since She sleeps well,
eats well, has gained rapidly in strength, not a
particle OF twitching anywhere. and she is now
as sweet-tempered a child as you can find any
where.

strikes all classes OF society. The residents of
the fashionable avenues and the deni-

Ii is felt in every line Of business. Five hun

system are laid of with the epidemic and the
company is badly handicapped for help. The
South Side Company has lbs men the sick

seventy-fiye men out. while many of those at
work are suffering from the disease in n mild
form.
The large downtown stores are having a
like experience. In one store employing $50
clerks forty are sick. Ten per cent of the
police force is laid up and fifty men in the fire
department are off. Fifty out of 10
mail carriers in the post Office are
suffering. All of the hospitals are over
crowded. About fifty sufferers applied for
admission 20 the county hospital yesterday
and nearly many the day before. This instr

To make matters worse for them many
of the managers and hotel employees are
also sufferers and there is such a deartb of

are large numbers of grip sufferers in private
houses all over the city, and the doctors afs
kept busy night and day.
