DO not make the error OF regarding
grip as an exaggerated cold There is
big difference between the two. Grip
is an epidemic disease that poisons the
vital organs. When person has grip,
the air passages are alive with millions
of baccilli poisoning the blood. Tue
infected person feels tired and exhaust
cd.
1t requires good tonic laxative to
keep the body OF the patient as strong
as possible TO counteract the effect o.
the poisons created by the grip bacil-
lus. An expectorant tonic with some
laxative qualities is the safest remedy.
Such is Peuma. Beware especially OF
coal tar powders or tablets because they
lessen the vitality of the patient.
There is no specific for the grip.
Perna has been used with good snc-
cess in former grip epidemics. Indica-
tions point to the return OF grip this
winter.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
When Speaker Resd Raised
a Big Laugh
B, Holland.

The sarcastic wit aimed and de-
liyered' with lightning-like swiftness
by Thomas Bracket Reed when he
was a member Of Congress, against
William N. Springer, has passed into
tradition. Il has already become an
American classic OF wit Il may be
said for the benefit OF those who have
yet 70 hear what II WAS that Mr..
Reed said to Judge Springer that the
judge, In the course of a character
istic speech, declared that he would
rather be right than be President.
Instantly there came through the
great hall of the House of Repre-
sentatlves in the characteristic nasal
twang these words:
you never will be either"
II was like the flash OF a highly
tempered steel blade in the sunlight
II was greatly relished by the mem
bers of the House. especially those
who are fond Of a joke at the ex-
pense Of another than themselves.
So many Of the members we're up
set by this saronic wittcism that
only a few of them took heed Of
Judge Springer himself. They OBJ
served that he smiled nodded his
head as though TO affirm what
Speaker Reed had said and then went
on imperturbably to finish his
speech
Several years later / met Speaker
Reed at a time when he was indulg-
Ing himself in one of his comfortably
lazy moods, as he was accustomed
to describe this physical and mental
condition. He was in excellent hui
NOR, and therefore I ventured to ask
him II there were any postscripts or
aftcr-incidents connected with the
Springer incident.
Springer" replied Speaker Reed,
was as lovable a man as ever
knew. | first became acquainted
with him when we we're serving as
members Of the committee appointed
TO investigate what we're called
'cypher dispatches that were
alleged to have been sent in the
presidential campaign Of 1876 bo-
tween politicians in various parts of
the country, conveying intlmatiOns
that money was to be paid for certain
services.
81 was then serving my first term
in Congress. Springer had been a
member two or three terms longer.
never shall forget the consider
alton and kindness Springer showed
TO me in the first few weeks Of my
membership. That friendship was
never interrupted. If had not
known Judge Springer we'll and had
learned that he was one of the few
men who could heartily enjoy a joke
made at his own expense ! should
never have uttered that remark.
There we're members OF the House
who would have been previously
humiliated, really wounded, had
fred a statement of that kind at
them.
Springer came to me a little while
after ! spoke in that way. and with
real cordlality told me that ! had got
the better Of him, but that / should
wait and see. for time would come
when he would return the compli-
mcnt
"That little experience explains
why Il was that Springer served
many terms in Congress without In.
curing a single enmity. and | sup.
pose it goes great way TO explain
the unhounded popularity which he
possessed in his home district"
