excellent example of the reporters en-

really funny and more good natured
than might he expected. The skit rs

amusing. 1t is rather small business
for Mr.. Lucas to engage in. but he
manages to preserve his amiability and
his sense of humor.

DO YOU FEEL DEPRESSED?

The form of influenza commonly called
''the grip" is no respector OF persons.
Rich and poor alike suffer from it.
The duration Of the acute stage Of the
grip is short, few days at most. With
out complications it is never fatal. What
makes the grip SO dreaded is the miser-
able condition in which it leaves its VIC
Tins sitter the cold and fever have run
their course. Some medical writers re-
fer to this latter effect of the grip as q
form of neurasthenia.
Depression Of spirits, headache, thin
blood, deranged digestion, over-sensitive
nerves-these are the usual after-et1ects
of the grip, and they will continue even
for months and years until the blood is
built UP and made rich and red.
After an attack of the grip all the vital
powers of the body are at a low ebb.
Building up the blood with DR.. Williams
Pink Pills is the surest way to restore the
weakened body. They have a special
action on the nerves and every sufferer
from the lingering effects OF the grip
should give them trial. Your own
druggist sells them.
