We. took the youngster home and my
little boy was delighted over tho pros

by the cat as tenderly as her own. and
allowed to nurse freely. Thus friend

the woodchuclr, which lasted as long as
the latter lived. They would play To-

Finally tho woodchucl took up his

THE GRIP.


The lnclement season is responsible for

Our climate Is very changeable, particu.
larlY at this season OF the year when a
cold 'norther IL usually preceded by an al
most summer sultrlness.
Coughs and colds and throat and stom-

neglect of such precautions as may be
taken and such carelessness as may be
shown In the matter OF changing wearing
apparel and exposure to heat and cold
The tendency in such cases Is to influenza
which sometimes takes on the form OF

lent in many portions OF the country
now and there may be something OF r.
almost everywhere. but It must not be
supposed that because there is grip"
about every little cold or dsarreeable
sensation Is proof of its presence
stll it is the part OF wisdom and pru-
dence 10 avoid. as far as possible, all
danger Of contracting this or any other
form Of sickness. Very little advice in
this matter Is necessary for persons OF
good judgment and ordinary prudopce
II may be all summed up probably In
the advice TO avoid undue exposure to the

regard toresular living. eating and Sleep
