Beware Of the winter dust II you

OF the dreaded ailment in Detroit just

There is no question that the dust

days Is partly responsible for the eri-

up an irritation. Then, II one is not
in good physical condition, one falls
an easy victim to the grip microbe.
What we need Is more dust pans
good, old-fashioned dust pans. n
sead OF sweeping the dust into the
streets to be blown about, housemaids
and janitors should collect the sweep
lngs in pan and burn them up. This
is the sanitary way.
However, a healthy man or woman
has not much TO fear from the dust.
People who shut themselves in stuffy
rooms until they are all run down

There is nothing particularly alarm
ing about the present grip epidemic.
1t Is not nearly as serious as 1t has
been in former years. but grip Is bad

The Heidelberger Tageblat In an ac'
count of the interview between the
Grand Duchess Louise and Nathan
Straus says: 1.-THE grand duchess had
long known of the work OF the Amer
lean philanthropist and had followed IL
with great interest. How deep this
interest is may be judged from the fact
that she spent one and one-Quarter
hours with Mr.. Straus discussing pas
teurization and It's results. The grand
duchess expressed her sorrow because
Of the great mortality among children
and said It was necessary to combat
the condition with all available meas
ures. Aided by the wife OF Minister
Hansell and the pr1vy medical coun-
selor. DIR. Houser, she is employing the
best scientific methods and seeking
new ones to check the mortality. espe-
cially among infants. The milk plant
which Mr.. Straus presented to the city
of Karlsruhe Is under her personal pro-
lection, because she hopes to see good
results from the introduction OF the
straus system. Mr.. Straus was deep
