SHALL WOMEN SMOKE?
Public Hearing on the Subject to Be
Held in New York.

New York, Jan. 1s.-If there is any
one in New York who is willing to
come to the defense of women who de-
sire to smoke in public restaurants he,
or she. will have an opportunity to be
heard on Monday when the committee
on laws and legislation of the board of
aldermen will give a public hearing on
the ordinance introduced by Alderman
Sullivan making it a misdemeanor for
restaurant or hotelkeepers to allow
women to smoke in public rooms.
The ordinance is the result of the
recent action of several Broadway
restaurants in removing the ban on
women's smoking in the public dining
rooms. Alderman Sullivan admits that
his ordinance is without doubt uncon-
stitutional but he believes that if it
passed by the board it will be consid-
cred as an expression of public opinion
and will therefore deter women from
smoking in public. 1t is stated that a
number of ministers will appear at the
meeting in favor of the passage of the
ordinance.

The Grip Rampant.

1t is years since the malady was SO
virulent. A Pittsburg, Pa, press dis

every home is affected in some way"
Like conditions, though net so SER

Opinions of Eminent Medical Men.
The question asked by everyone who

is, What is the grip and what are its
effects?' These queries are best ans

in published interviews. The most i'm

The grip has an extraordinary effect
on the mental functions.
The grip picks cut the weak points

The victims of the grip are adults
who perish from pneumonia or bron

LA GRIPPE RAGING
Worst Epidemic Since 's9---Thousands of
Victims.
AND TREATMENT
Opinions of Eminent Physicians Regarding
This Disease

ing. The grip shows a decided ten.
dehcy TO relapses, feature TO which
the indirect fatality of the disease is
IN a great measure due. So far from
establishing immunity. an attack of
this nature seems to render the indi-
vidual more liable TO contract the dis
ease from any future exposure.
My conviction is that alcoholic stim-
ulants are generally not only unnec-
essary, but positively harmful in the
treatment of the grip.
Quinine as Preventive.
Sir William Broadbent. famous
English physician, says: From the
time of the first invasion of Influenza
tthe grip | have found that the best
remedy was quinine. | have had OPP
portunities of obtaining extraordinary
evidence of its protective powers. In
large public school near London the
girls and mistresses took their morn
ing dose of quinine, but the servants
were forgotten. The result was that
scarcely a girl or mistress suffered,
while the servants were all down with
influenza (the grip.
Treatment.
Rest, warmth and quiet are the three
sovereign remedies for this disease,
and the best preventives of its second
airy complications. Go TO bed and re-
main in bed until we'll on the way to-
ward recovery Two or three days in
bed when you first contract the dis
ease is better than two or three weeks
later on. Also take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy as directed with each
bottle. Before going to bed take two
of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
| Tablets and battle the feet in water
as warm as can be comfortably borne.
If the attack is a sever one take sui
lphate of quinine in doses of two grains
each. every four hours, for a few days.
II will help to keep up the vitality and
enable the system to withstand the at
