THE GRIP EPIDEMIC.
The Disease More Prevalent Than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment.

The grip has surpris' d the doctors
and health authorities this season by its
rapid spread and by some novel symp-
toms, While it spares nobody it is prov
ing especially dangerous to middle-aged
and elderly persons. Tn many cases
either a fatal onset Of pneumonia, or a
complete breakdown Of health and
strength, is apt to follow IN attack of
grip.
The wise course f. all is prevention.
By wearing a Benson Porous Plaster on
the chest aud ba * yon protect the lungs
from cold and chill and with ordinary
care) You are safe from grip.
For those who are already suffering
from grip, or from the usual winter

There he at once took n leading place

Madison, Wis, Jan. 1S.-The mem
bers of the legislature have all re-
ceived letters from the saloonkeepers
which hopes for their favor for a bill
to be introduced raising the license in
the large cities, abolishing the sale
of Intoxicating liquors in stores where
dry goods, clothing, jewelry, grocer
les, provisions or hardware are sold,
and abolishing the giving away of free
lunches by liquor dealers. The state
university appropriation bill provides
for an annual increase of $4,000. A
bill has been introduced in the house
for a commission to secure uniform
legislation as to the taxation of vessel
property, and a bill to legalize Oste-
Opathy. A list Of pardons by Govern
or Scofield, sent to the legislature,
has the names of 100 persons.
Madison, Wis, Jan. 19-The two
houses were agreed on basis Of men,

Green Not RestfuI to the Eyes.


1t seems as though cherished notions
were no sooner on an apparently hrm
foundation than some inconsiderate
iconoclast comes along and throws
them down. People have for many
years supposed that the color green
was restful to human eyes and have
been referred to the green grass and
green foliage that nature has been so
prodigal with for the benefit of wearied
vision.
Now, according to a German profess
or of Berlin. nature wasn't thinking
Of human eyes when she made her pro-
fuse verdant display and that her col
or scheme was carried out absolutely
regardless of the visual needs Of hui
mainly He says that green does not
protect the eye, and he denies that it
has any beneficial effects whatever.
He declares that green paper, green
shades. green glasses, green decOra-
tons and green umbrellas are all a
mistake and that by increasing the
green light we are simply provoking
a nervous disturbance.
He says that each Of the colors tires
a different set of nerves of vision, and
therefore looking at one particular col
or saves one set Of nerves at the ex-
pense of another The best method.
he says. is to dim all Of the rays Of
