SIDEWALK SKETCHES
THE GRIP.

b. : ~
The grip is an .cnerVating disease
which was struggled into this country
from France some years ago, and has
n5ver shown any desire to return. II
is u close imitation OF the Vermont In.
iiuenza, but Is much more sociable,
hopping from one member of the fam.
lily 10 another In series of sostenuto
snutfles. The grip was originally In.
tended for the sole use OF the aristoc.
rAcy, and was called the Ia grippe
In order 10 nonufarfze II with people
who like to show their knowledge OF
the French language. The common
people never had chance 10 see what
the grip was like until the Bar Hal.
Dor push disc cred that It was light.
Ing on several chaurleurs and other
menialS. upon which they passed it
out to the rural districts ana took up
with nostalgia, Henry lbsen and othc.
polite diseases. The grip is a very
explosive and pref 6nslle ailment. and
is generally accompanied by stacca
to sneeZe which rattles around tho
family hearth like hailstoMes on n lin
roof. There are two kinds OF grip
standpat and insurgent. The stand
pat variety is the kind which picks
CIT a vital spot and has to be pried
loose with .quinIne pills and the per
suasiye eloquence of the sitz bath
The insurgent grip Is a brand which
doesn't stay in one place long enough,
TO peri lit u cold compress TO catch III
with It. There Is also the winter grip
which is a'working model OF the Flor
Ida ague, and the summer grip. which
roes around In the disguise OF the self
tripping hay fever. People who have
the grip In its prestine purity are la
bic to be jumped on at any time by
every disease in the category, from
senilo dementia TO the Swedish
humps. The balpy breath of sprin9
is charged with grip germs, ranging
II size from q cold In the head TO the
coppcr.gasketed pneumonia. and OF
this account a great many people mi

mate where there is nothing 10 be
afraid Of except the hotel rates.

HEARING RESTORED
/ Simple Harmless Remedy
Quickly Relieves Ca
tar!rhal Deafness. Ii

The thousands WHO suffer the iniseries
OF catarrh, and claim they have, never
found cure, can get instant relief by
simply amounting the nostrils with Ely's
Cream Balm.
Unlike internal medicines which upset
the stomach. or strong snuffs which on
~ aggravate the trouble, this cleans
ing, healing, antiseptic balm instantly
reaches the seat Of the trouble, stops
the nasty discharge, clears the nose,
head and throat, and brings back the
sense of taste, smell and hearing. More
than this, il strengthens the weakened,
diseased tissues, thus protecting you
against q return Of the trouble.
Nasal catarrh is an inflammation of
the membrane lining the air passages,
and cannot be reached with mixtures
taken into the stomach or with
snuffs and powders which, only cause
additional irritation. Don't waste
time on them. Get a fifty cent bottle
of Ely's Cream Balm from your
druggist, and after using It for day
You will wish you had tried it sooner.

Later he decided that Fosdick was a
Mormon elder and that Mrs. Fosdck
was probably a twelfth or thirteenth
spouse he was smuggling in from the
east. The theory was not entirely
false. for Fosdick was one OF the
many victims OF the crazy-quilt OF
American divorce codes. though he
was the most unwilling OF polygamists.
And DR.. Temple gave up his theory in.

found the Fosdlcks still on the train,
