Of acute catarrh which Is so eontagi-

During the acute stages of Ia grippe
It is not a very fatal disease, but the
condition in which It leaves the sys-

Indeed nearly every person who has
had la grippe within the last three

FOOT WEAKNESS.
Those Who Must Stand StiI should Be
ON Rugs.

ON Rugs.
A great many years ago the old
fashioned back-country housekeeper
learned that when she had any work
to do that involved a great deal of
standing on her feet in one place, she
was the gamer by folding a piece of
carpet or a rug and placing it on the
foor under her feet. 1t has taken the
business men a long time to learn just
what a great many Of the grandmoth-
ers and aunties of this world knew
very long ago, namely, that people
who stand in one place for any length
Of time would save a great portion of
their foot and leg WEAKNESS If they
arranged for something soft on the
floor. One sensible man spread a thick
coating of tan bark on the floor of his
warehouse; another used sawdust and
found it a great advantage.
Where these substances cannot be
introduced with safety or convenience,
a light platform of rather thin boards
for the men to stand on has been found
of great value in the saving Of
strength. In offices where men are con-
stantly on their feet thick manila mat
ting is helpful in avoiding that ex-
IRENE WEAKNESS to which active people
are subject. Wearing loose shoes with
a thick insole of felt is recommended
when floors are extremely hard and
unyielding. A little attention to some
of what appear to be the minor details
of life will oftentimes repay the pains
taking employer in increased useful
ness, and the ability to accomplish a
| greater amount of labor.

I thought this would fetch him; but
