NEW YORK HAS GRIP.
Death Rate Has Been Largely In
creased by Prevailing Ailment.

New York, Jan. 9.-Inhuenza is al
most epidemic in this city. Within the
last ten days it has spread rapidly.
Physicians generally believe that the
unreasonable weather which has pre-
vailed of late has helped to spread the
disease.
Reports<tabulated in the health de-
partment's bureau of vital statistics
show that last week the deaths in this
city from influenza rose from eight in
the week ending December 20 to 80
That influenza invariably increases
the mortality from bronchial troubles
is again demonstrated by the fact that
the deaths attributed to bronchitis
last week numbered 35 against % for
the preceding week and that the
deaths from pneumonia and bronchial
pneumonia increased from 232 in the
week ending December % to 358 last
week. The disease is particularly
prevalent in Brooklyn. Physicians of
large practice say that the death re-
ports showed only a small part of the
suffering from these diseases because
only a small percentage of those af-
hicted with it die. i-S -

UP TO THE STANDARD.
Government Inspects COntinentars
Butter Renovating Department

That the Continental Creamery
company is manufacturing renovated
butted which is up to the standard re-
quired by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, is the verdict of Robert
McAdam, United States dairy inspec-
tor, who inspected the Continental fac
tory today.
Mr.. McAdam is an inspector of rem
ovated butter factories and markets,
and as a government inspector has
he makes his report to the department
which he represents. He has nothing
to do with the inspection of butter
made directly from butter fat by the
creameries and sold in the open mar
ket His attention is directed to the
''made-over" country butter, and but
ter which is worked over and made
marketable after it has been damaged
in some way which. precludes it from
the first class division.
The inspector had just concluded his
examination of the. Continental reno
waiting plant when seen today,
TT is not my business to have much
to say about what L find" he said.
This is my regular trip through this
section, and 1 make Topeka about
twice each quarter, inspecting the fac
tories and wholesale markets. Reno
waited butter is my speciality. I inspect
factories for cleanliness. sanitary con-
ditfons and the materials used in the
for moisture. The laws says that rem
cvated butter shall not contain more
than 16 per cent water. 1 take sam
pies of the products I find, and send
them to the chemists of the. depart
ment of agriculture, I will say that I
always find the Continental renovating
department in good condition, as to
sanitation and otherwise" p.
Mr. McAdam stated positively that
his visit at the present time had no
significance in relation to the recent
visit to Washington and the depart
mert Of agriculture of a delegation of
western butter manufacturers who fill
ed strenuous objections to the butter
and milk standards set by the national
board of chemists -------

New York Jan. 9.-That she was

the unique reason given the police

ticles from the various counters, in
Guiding some embroidery and three
lace handkerchiefsss valued in all at SIS.

the goods the next day and that she
took them only to show how easily it

and the fact that these competent peo-
pie have charge of the play is alone as
surance that everything will go off as
advertised and be a great deal above
the average.
The songs which will be sung by the
chorus will be the leading feature of
the plays as they are all typical of
some phase of the past season and are
written in a very entertaining style.
Here is a sample of one of the songs
which is dedicated to Paramount. The
song is a parody on Gross Your
Heart:
If you'll cross the line We'll love you,
Take the ball right over fair and square.

evening. The proceeds will be turned
over to the Athletic association to be
devoted by them to the HQuidating Of
their present financial condition.
