Group is a terror to young mothers
and to pest them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin of
Group is a common cold. Children
who are subject to it take cold very
easily and Group is almost sure TO fol-
low. The first symptom is hoarseness;
this is soon followed by a peculiar
rough cold which is easily recognized
and will never be forgotten by one who
has heard it. The time to act is when
the child first becomes hoarse If

given all tendency to Group will soon

has developed it VIII prevent the at

Legi-lature Republican.
Detroit. Mich. November 5.-The
total vote of Michigan appears to have

which. for Governor, Pingree received
275.0O0; Sigh. 205,OO0.
Pingree's actual plurality has in
creased to 10000.
McKinley's is about $4,000 less on
account, presumably. of the Bryan
and Pingree' vote, which shows that a
considerable element which favored
Bryan also voted for Pingree. The
legislature is now estimated to stand
as follows; Senate % Republicans. 6
