IN THE GRIP EPIDEMIC.

Surgeon General of the French
Army.

out sugar, makes grog of exquisite
flavor, which produces immediate bene-
fetal effect in severe cases of cod, at
tended by convulsive coughing ana de-
preston. 1t is best taken at bed tins.
In the grip epidemics in France it was the
tonic absolutely relied upon, and Las re-
ceived frequent deserved mention in the
medical press. 1t has been shown that
patients recover very slowly. There is
much general weakness and lassitude in
variably calling for something in ma ure
of mild tonic stimulant, and it has been
found that Mariani Wine is unequaled for
such cases.
DR.. Cyrus Edison. of the New YORK
Health Department, has made ca -eful
study of the subject in his book Oh La
Grippe" published by App.eton d Co. on
page 80 he writes of Vim Mariani and calls
special attention to it in the form of a hot
grog In speaking of the comp c.e pros
tration accompanied by the depression
caused by this disease, and also dur ng
entire convalescence, his preference for a
tonic stimulant is a hot grog of Vim
Mariani. He says it is excellent for the
purpose intended, and recommends its use
freely. The remedy is simple and within
easy reach of all who suffer from this
dreaded disease.
A book with further explicit details will
be sent by Mariani G. Co, 80 West 18th
St, New York, to anyone who will write
requesting same. 1t is certainly well
worth writing for

The playing of young James Thompson
is a revelation. He is undoubtedly the

every way that by many he is regarded as
the best right forward in the League. He
is quick. fearless and at all times uses
judgment in his clever work and with the
assistance of John Thompson he carries
the team with him. Grant and Garner are
playing clever game. and altogether the

Columbia Athletic Club.

Columbia Athletic Club.
That the bowling team of the Columbia
Athletic Club is very much in need of prac-
tice is quite apparent from its recent work
in competition. On Wednesday night il
helped boost up the Carroll Institute team
several points by losing three games, the
full set postponed from Monday Notwith-
standing the team played to the limit ol

cause of the lack of practice it could moi

teams in the South, three straight.

also members of the Saengerbund and on
the alleys of the latter they will hence
forth take regular practice. The next SET
of games scheduled for the boys is foI
next Wednesday with the South Washing.

letic team will be away there will nee
essarily be postponement.
On February - the members of the Co
lunbia Athletic Club and Saengerbund
teams accompanied by their ladies' will
take trip to Baltimore and in the after
noon and evening will play double headers
with crack Oriole teams at the Gentleman
Driving Park alleys. II will be in the
nature of a prize tourney and our bowlers
should at least divide honors with the
home players. Captain Stiles for his team
Will be satisfied with little else.
S. Deso has about struck his gait and
is doing good work. In the above set he
led his team with an average OF 1856 1-3
with Kicker second with 1iS 2-3. Stitt is
bowling his usual steady game. not run
ming up high scores. but doing work that
wins when there is good support.
The board of governors will hold their
monthly meeting next Thursday evening
and more than likely a new amusement
committee will be appointed and after that
the club members may expect a series OF
small but attractive social gatherings. The
club has not in recent years enjoyed sucl
season OF prosperity and from present in
dications it's enforced move seems a most
profitable one.

Damage Done by the Wind Last Week
Splendid Yield of Oats.
The Illinois crop bulletin says of
the week ending Aug. z:
The past week had several hot
days, with good showing at its begin
ming and ending. The temperature
averaged from degrees above nor
NAL in southern and south-central
counties to degrees above in CEN
trail, and normal to 2 degrees below
in northern; maximum temperatures
from 80 to 100 degrees were common
on several days. Good showers were
general. A little damage was done
by severe wind and thunderstorms.
Corn was needing rain badly in some
central counties and will scarcely re-
cover its ground, but over the state
generally it is in splendid condi-
ton, tasseling, shooting, in roast
ing ears or denting, according
to it's planting. Threshing continues
both in wheat and oats, although
slightly delayed by showers. Oats
northern counties pastures continue
good and are reviving elsewhere;
grasshoppers are damaging second
crop and young clover considerably;
timothy meadows in some counties
are growing finely and promise sec
ond cutting; timothy threshing has
begun with fair to good seed yield.
Broomcorn cutting in earliest fields
has begun. with fair yield; cutting
will be general in early fields the last
of this week. Gardens have been
benefited by the rains; shipments of
garden vegetab les and fruits continue
heavy. Conflicting reports are re-
ceived in regard to apples, but the
crop will probably be fair one gen.

THE Pennsylvania railroad has es-

and pensions whereby every employee
who has served for 80 years or who
has reached the age of 20 is to be re-
tired on a pension, the allowance to
be based upon length of service and
average wages received by the pension
er during his working career. The sys-
tenn is not built upon sums compul-
sorily held out from the wages of it's
employees. but is paid for by the COM
pany. This system might be an olive
