THE GRIP IS CONTAGIOUS.
DR.. Edison Of New York Tells You
What to Do When It
Gets You.

4 New York, March DIR. Cyrus Edison.
IN discussing the present epidemic of grip
In this city, is quoted to-day as saying:
Grip Is contagious and if the public
were fully aware Of that fact many un-
necessary infections would be avoided.
The grip germ, a spirillum, or bacillus, To-
Gates itself principally in the mucuous
membranes Of the respiratory tract, and
as 1t Is an air-borne disease, one acquires it
by breathing in the germs. Ample evil
dence of its contagiousness is found by its
passage through a family, city or a Sec
tiofl Of the country. travelling along the
ordinary lines of traveT. 1t is In this way
that 1t was brought to this country some
thirteen years ago, coming in steamers
from Europe.
"A great mistake Is made by the man
who returns to his work too soon after an
attack of grip.
"To avoid catching the grip, keep out
of the way Of people who have it, keep
warm and keep your feet dry. If your
baby has the grip, don't kiss It, If your
stenographer has the grip send her home
until she gets well. If your friend has the
grip send him flowers and regrets, but
don't call on him until he is we'll. Don't
get tired, and above all keep warm and
dry. When you do get the grip, take a
dose Of physic, go to bed and send for a
doctor" - .,., -

He has been given UP as incurable in
New York. and the prophecy was made
tha he would not survive the sea voyage
He sailed from New York late in 1899. Ir
four months he returned and was pro

ANOTHER pEARY DASH.

From Washington comes the an
that Commander Peary
Of Arctic fame has been granted an.
other three year1 leave Of absence
for the purpose Of making one more
dash for the north pole. Between now
and July next he will be busy fitting
up his ship with all the supplies and
equipment his former experiences
have shown to be necessary. A relief
ship, will, of course, also be provided
for.
We confess we haven't great deal
of sympathy for these dashes to the
pole, or toward the pole, to speak
more literally. Suppose Commander
Peary does find the pole and suppose.
figuratively, he hoists the American
flag to its summit. Will anybody be
the gamer thereby except Command
er Peary, who would. in such an event
be eagerly sought after as a lectur-
er? Does anybody suppose that at CT
near the pole is a land that can be
occupied by human beings?
If all the conjectures Of scientists
are true the north pole is either il
the Arctic sea or an uninhabitab.e
island of that sea- Even if it Should
be found ON an island and if the islam
should be the most beautiful land IN
the world, the difficulties attendant
upon reaching it would preclude the
possibility of making it available fol-
any purpose whatever. Materially
therefore, there is no possible good tt
the world in the discovery of th'
north pole Yet for it, the heretofore
unattainable, men have braved incre
dible hardships, they have starved AM
frozen and died.
1t is impossible for any to foretel
the result of Peary's next expedition
1t may be successful and it may nc
be- AS he is an American citizen lie
us hope he will win, for he certaini
deserves to win, if ever man die
And when he gets the pole we tru;
he will chop it down and bring
back to this country with him for e,
hibition purposes and for the purpOs
of preventing some other gallant ~
venturer from risking their lives in
search for it.
Surely it will he much more cor

DARK DAYS FOR MORGANiSM.
The time to use the brickbats that
are flying thick and fast about the
head of ]. Pierpont Morgan was when
he started in to form the combination
that are now shaking on their sandy
foundations. 1t was apparent-or ought
to have been apparent-to all upright
and thoughtful business men that the
wind and water in the Morgan
schemes would intimately
lead to a collapse. But the public IN
general paid no heed to the intrinsic
dishonesty and fallacy of the under
takings evolved by the chief of all OF
the Wall street captains for the en-
richment of their promoters at the
expense of credulous investors AS long
as the arch adventurer in the Ame'.i-
can world of finance was successful
he was lauded as a prodigy Of sagacity
and exploited as a hero equal to the
task of wholly revolutionizing certain
important UIduCHCS VI uuOlACoo seSNSA'
ity. Note the change now in the popu
lar tone Things are not going smooth
ly with Mr. Morgan. He has been buf
feted sorely by the storms in Wal
street, and his erstwhile champion;
and admirers have turned to denounct
him. Circumstances have made plair
what reason and judgment should
have discerned from the first. Nor
gan has been found out, and for tina
there is no forgiveness and none o
the gentle charity which certain pee
