it whenever her back was

TRADE REPORT.

New FORK Jan. 21.-Bradstreet's re-
port says:
Industry is still maintaining posi-
ton of prominent activity, while dis
tributive trade for spring, not as yet
fully opened, lacks definite form in
some lines. Lumber is strong at higher
prices than last year. Early predic-
tions of small gain in gross railroad
earnings for the year 1904 over 1908,
the best hitherto reported, are confirm
ed by reports to Bradstreet's of frac-
ton of per cent increase for the last
10 months. December gross receipts
show a gain of per cent over 1908,
but for the first half of January the in
crease is considerably smaller than last
year.

BILE.
Grip is well named. The original
French term, la grippe, has been short
ened by the busy American to read
grip"
Without intending to do so, a new
word has been coined that exactly de-
scribes the case. As if some hideous
giant with awful grip had clutched us
in its fatal clasp.
Men, women, children, whole towns
and cities are caught in the baneful
grip of terrible monster.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
