fatality from grip. The doctor imagines
the statement of a physician in Oakland
that sulphur in ones shoes was a pre-
ventive for the disease to be only a joke.
DR.. H. D. Robertson says: Keep dry,
keep warm, keep sober, and you may es-
cape grip. If you get sick get the right
kind of treatment. 1t is better to do moth
ing than TO do the wrong thing"
DR.. T. I. James says the disease is con-
tagious and has been on the increase, but
will decrease as the weather gets warmer
Keep away from colds. Dress warmly and
shun sudden change of temperature
There is no germicide for the grip mi
crobe. DR.. R. E. Bunker holds that the
epidemic is rapidly decreasing. The re-
cent rain has cleared the atmosphere and
the warm weather will do the rest Grip
is never fatal of itself. DR.. G. w. Davis
says there is no reason for fear, for there
are no more cases now than are usually
reported at this time of year.

BANAsTAR THE FAyORITE.
Entries For the Suburban to be Run
To-day.

New York, June 16.-Although Ban
astar has to take up twelve pounds ex-
ira for winning the Brooklyn Handicap,
he is the popular favorite for the Su-
burban which will be run tomorrow at
the opening of the spring meeting of
the Coney Island Jockey Club at Sleeps
head Bay. His work has been perfectly
satisfactory to his, owner and to his
trainer, and the public seems to be
satisfied as well, and it was the general
impression at the race track to-day that
coupled with Candeblack, he would be
as strong favorite at post time to-
morrow as any previous choice.
Imp, the Western mare. is by no
means without friends, particularly on
her last race when she took up a great
deal more weight than she will to-mor-
row and won very handiy. The Cali
fornia mare, Briar Sweet, has done some
fine exercise work and has been specially
prepared for this race and itswOuld not
be at all surprising to see her second
choice to Banastar.
Every horse is absolutely fit, and all
want to prevent Banastar from breaking
a record by getting both the two big
handicaps. Following are the entries:
