was to have started at noon next Fri
day. but since last Monday an aver
age of more than half of the pupils in

grades, classes of sixty we're cut to
but three. All week the school au-
thorities have held but one session

Not only are the schools affected
by the epidemic. but every business

that II congests in the smaller arteries

despondent, sick, feverish and miser-

which temporarily relieve but do not

A glass of hot water with a tea
spoonful OF limestone phosphate in
it, drank before breakfast for awhile,
will not only wash these poisons from
your system and cure you of headache
but will cleanse, purify and freshen
the entire alimentary canal.
ASK your pharmacist for a quarter

inexpensive. harmless as sugar, and
almost tasteless. except for a sourish
twinge which is not unpleasant.

One evening ! called upon Judge
Holman. Who received me In his mod

Judge Holman about an incident
which was narrated 10 me by Henry

But the way did not seem 10 open for
me TO speak Of that incident.
II was of one time in Judge Hol-
ran's career in Congress when In
stead OF attempting TO reduce an ap-
preparation he spoke with courage
and cafnestness i'm favor OF an IN
crease. His advocacy OF this increase
was successful because every mem
her OF Congress knew that il was
sincere and represented what Judge
Holman believed TO be Justice.
Mr. Stanton told me that he at one
time was retained by contractors who
had been engaged 10 put up public
buildings for the United States at
