do so just now. For the past few
years the grip has been a compar.
atively harmless malady and few
cases have resulted fatally, but the

ly deadly and passes into pneumo-
MIA with startling rapidity.

Johnnie's pa was d terrible man
to swear. Even in the presence of
his children he used shocking lang
uage. One day Johnnie asked him
how much million was and he re-
piled: ooh, it's hi of a lot" A
few days later the little fellow was
trying to sit on one corner of his
chair and was doing a lot Of squirm-
ing around as if something was
bothering him. His father asked
him, "What's the matter with you,
Johnnie?" Almost sobbing, he re-
piled: "You know the other day |
asked you how much a million was
and you said it was a HI of a lot,
and that's what | told my teacher"
Papa is more careful now how he
answers his little boys questions.
