IN THE AIR.
The Germs of La Grippe are Conveyed
Through The Atmosphere.


No one can escape the Ia grippe germ
because when an epidemic of the dis
ease is prevailing rhe air is laden
with it.
The reason everyone does not have
the disease at the same time is because
the persons who are enjoying perfect
health are able to successfully resist
and throw off the infection while
those, who for any reason, are not in
the best of health fall ready victims

say one tablet every hour or two for
two or three days. the danger of pneu-
monia and serious complication will he

The Rev. l., f. Palmer Baptist cler-
gyman of Ceresco, Mich, makes a
statement of interest to all catarIh and
grip sufferers. He says: "Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets have certainly been
blessing to me. | have used them
freely this fall and winter and have
found them safeguard against Ia
grippe and catarrhal troubles FROM
which had suffered for years, I feel
that / can freely and conscientiously
recommend them"
Persons who suffer from catarrh of
the head and throat are very suscep'
tible to la grippe and such will find a
pleasant, convenient and safe remedy
in this new catarrh cure.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are com,
posed entirely of harmless antiseptics
and may he used as freely as necessary
as they contain no cocaine, oplatc or
poisonous drug of any kind.

Of materials, used in the erection of
houses, is so high that the working
classes find it a difficult matter to raise
sufficient funds to go ahead with the
building. Many of them purchased
tl41ots several years ago, paying for
them on the installnent plan. At the
time of purchase, wood, glass and 9TH
er materials were much lower tnan at
present. They figured then that they
could build their home from the mon
ey which could be raised by mortgag-
ing the land. Now they hesitate because
the amount that can be borrowed will
not build anything like as good home
as they planned.

reduction of $4 per thousand in the

This decrease in the lumber is more
than equalled. however, by the increase
in the price of glass and labor. The

about to increase their scale like

no great change as compared with one

Wanted "A New Building.
On Oct. %, 1911. Aldermen Mendenhall
Proctor and Pemberton were appointed to
inquire into the expediency of erecting
a new city hall of brick on the site of the
flature. In the meantime sixteen more
shares of exchange stock had been bought
for the city. On Nov. % the committee
reported that a necessary preliminary step
would be the immediate disposal of the
shares owned by the corporation in the
exchange. Council then authorized the
committee 10 ascertain what could be
obtained for them. The discovery seems
to have been speedily made that other
holders of shares preferred to sell to the
city rather than buy the city's holdings,

The subject of an exchange for the city
was first preached by Mayor Stephens.
On Aug. IS, 1875, he gave notice that at

On May %, 1916, Bunch petitioned Coun-
ell to be allowed to rent the room occu-
pied by Council for it's sittings, in lieu
of which he would consent to Council S
holding it's sessions in the long room on

the condition that Bunch furnish the long
