EGRIPPE HENROUTE

According to local physicians, an
epidemic of grip is headed this way.
which is due, partly at least, to the
exceptionally warm and damp wealth
er, making people careless about TAX
ing cold and so rendering them more
susceptible to disease of all kinds on
account of lowered vitality.
La grippe, or grip, | sthe popular
name for what was formerly called
influenza or catarrhal fever. 1t is
an acute contagious disease, caused
by a certain bacillus which first in.
fects the respiratory tracts.
Grip spreads more rapidly than any
other disease of its class, usually de-
veloping into epidemic form in the
east and spreading westward One
epidemic OF grip is stated to have
started in st. Petersburg, travelling to
Paris, then to London, and in course
of time spreading to the United
States.
Grip spreads rapidly in winter. for
houses are kept closed as much as
possible and when one member of the
family gets the disease, it is more
likely soon to spread to all members
of the household through germ In
fected atmosphere.
For this reason. in order to stamp
out the disease, strict isolation OF the
patient should be observed. although.
on account of the fact that the dis
ease is of such short duration, and Of
ten OF light nature. the majority of
the people do not realize the necessity
Tor this.

on Tie market, or patron may man
ufacture his own box or have it done

Inc establishment of this new

whether on sea or land, requires
good eyesight. Even though your
eyes be weak, you can enjoy good
sight if you wear our eyeglasses, be-
cause we fit them accurately to your
eyes. We have eyeglasses and spec
tacles all styles; so cents to $1,000
We have field glasses, marine glasses
opera glasses as well--all helps to
sightseeing.
It May Be Occasionally
that a few are undecided where TO go
when their eyes need attention.
Really there should be no doubt
When the sight (our most valuable
sense) is impaired 1t is wisdom to go
where the benefit of the highest edu-
cation is available, as also the longest
experience, the most consummate
skill; all of these are beyond price
when precious eyes and sight are to
be considered. Recently Prof. Arnold
engaged man who was making a
personal canvass of every house in
his township to report on the num-
Der wearing the Arnold glasses. The
proportion was a fraction over eight
out of ten.
PROFESSIONALLY no higher compli-
ment could be paid to the good judg
ment and intelligence of the people
of that ownship. 1t is probable the
ratio will hold good over the county.
Now as regards lenses. Prof.
Mayne Arnold has dispensed the
Crystalline Lenses twenty-five to
thirty years and now has the largest
stock of them in Iowa, but he has five
higher grades OF lenses In stock,
each of which cost substantially
more than the Crystalline. and are de-
cidedly better. He has one kind
which cost five times as much. The
Professor win be pleased TO exhibit
these lenses to callers and demon
strate their superiority by methods so
plain that all can see and understand
So far as Mayne Arnolds superior
skill and accuracy in fitting glasses
is concerned. no argument is needed.
His patrons get the benefit OF salts
faction, comfort and safety for their
eyes. His prices are also about one
fourth to one-half those charged by
opticians OF reputation. Eyes tested
