One Of the curious incidents accom-.
panying the grip came out yesterday
when man sat down on the curling
near the postoffice, took off one shoe
and with a suppressed remark of some
kind, emptied lot Of yellow powder
from his shoe, put it on again and
went up the street, Examination
showed that the material was sulphur
and that the small chunks had been
tOrturing the man. Investigation
proved that great many people 10
Wichita are wearing sulphur 10 their
shoes TO prevent the grip and claim
that it is efficaciOus. 1t is said that
famous French physician declared
that having noticed coal miners never
suffered from the grip he investigated
and found that the reason therefor
was that the sulphur sifted down in
the shoes Of the miner, was taken into
their systems through the soles OF
their feet and actedas preventative.
This story reached Wichita and the
drug stores say it is astonishing how
many people are trying it.-Eagle.
