AFTER EFFECTS
OF GRIP THIS YEAR
Leaves Kidneys in Weakened Con-
djtion,

Doctors in all parts of the country
have besn kept busy with the cpl
demic of grip which has visited so
many homes. The symptoms of grip
this year are very distressing and
leave the system in a run down condi-
ton, particularly the kidneys, which
seem to suffer most, as every victim
complains of lame back and urinary
troubles which should not be neg

lead to more serious sickness, such
as dreaded Bright's Disease. Local

The birth and later the christen-
ing of a three million dollar baby
recently attracted considerable atten-
ton. The especial interest concern
ing the christening is that the babe
was given the full name of his great
at-great-grandfathe which for
more than century has represented
one of the greatest American for
tunes.
We pause and ask: What's in a
name" What does the christening
really amount to? Does the mumbling
of few words by certain authorized
clergymen, work some charm where
by wealth and fame and an honored
name are assured? Why all this fuss

which in the newspapers was headed
as follows:

II came from Belfast. Maine.
The father was named Emory pan

1.-The biggest was twelve years old
| looked ON in terror while their father
dubbed the mother To death.
Do you know why the father dubbed
| the mother to death. while the three
| children looked on
The cause was simple
The mother had recently Inherited
some money from her father-not
much, but enough to keep away abso-
lutte poverty
The husband was determined To get
il. to spend it for himself having what
he called n good time, which con
sisted chiefly in getting drunk.
The mother would not let him have
the money She refused To spend IL
except 10 buy clothing for their chill
dren. He declared he would XII her
if he did not get the money.
Finally the man got drunk without
her money and he Kept his word lie
dubbed her to death.

told the police.
