Grippe.

For the last five or six weeks, the
country, from one end to the other
has been experiencing an epidemic
of what is generally known as grippe.
Symptoms are those of severe
cold with more or less sore throat,
cough, pains in the head and about
the body, Insome cases the symptoms
are quite persistent.
1t seems certain that the great ma
jority, at least, of these cases are not
true grippe. Nevertheless, the pre-
vention is exactly the same for such a
case as for the true grippe.
The disease is acutely contagious.
Contagion takes place most rapidly
by direct contact. The more intimate
and prolonged this contact, the great
ar the danger of contagion. Persons
should avoid crowds as much as pos
sible, and IL it is necessary to be with
those suffering from symptoms which
have been described, they should in
slst as far as possible upon such per,
sons keeping at respectful distance
While coughing or sneezing, the per-
son afflicted should keep the moutf
and nose covered with handkerchief
Kissing, especially, should be avoided
The habit which many mothers have
of blowing the noses of number o
children in the same handkerchie
should not be practised.
There is no specific whichw will pre-
vent this. The best methods OF pre-
vention are q good diet, consisting o
nutritious, but light foods, the use o
the cold bath daily, sleeping with al
abundance Of fresh air and the avoid
ance OF excesses Of all kinds. Els
pecially to be avoided Is prolonge,
overheating in close, stuffy rooms an'

PRATT BUILDING
BEING REPAIRED
Extensive Job Under Way in
Charge of Contractor
VIM. Cushman
NEW FOUNDATIONS
FRONT AND REAR
Difficult Job Confronts Contractor in
Substituting Steel Orders for Brick
Arch to Support Three Stories of
Masonry.

When Contractor William Cushman
took the job of repairing and
making over the Pratt building now
owned by the F. w. Woolworth Co.,
he did not realize fully all that would
be encountered before he had gone far
with the work of reconstruction.
There was not question but that the
rear foundation wall needed strength
ening AID the men tackled that first.
They dug and dug until they had gone
down u feet before finding solid bot
tom. The old wall went down about IL.
In the course of digging they encoun-
tered two old metal shutters that at
some time had been used as fire shut
tiers on some windows. They were
down eight feet.
In doing this it was necessary TO
shore up the back of the building and
while they were about it they lacked
up the rear of the two floors of the
annex seven inches to make them level.
There is a rear wall under them now
that is five feet wide at the base and
two at the top. With new stills and
uprights at the rear, that part of the
building Is now ready for other work
of reconstruction.
just now the workmen are engaged
in building a pit for hand power
elevator which will be under the side
walk and will furnish the method for
receiving goods for both the Woolworth
Co. in the north store and the Huntress-
Wood Co., which will occupy the south
store in the building In order to do
this it has been necessary to shore up
the front of the building, for the foua-
dation in front was found to be in
poor condition. AS the elevator pit is
to be deeper than the foundation this
has made considerable more work
Under the very front of the Huntress-
Wood Co s store is to he the boiler
room from which heat Will be furnished
for the entire building. Here again
the basement floor has to be lowered
much more than its old level and this
will necessitate the relaying Of the
front end of the south wall of the
building because the foundation does
not go down deep enough. Cutting
through the division wall of stone be-
tween the two stores near the elevator
pit has necessitated some other .nason-
~ work.
At the top of the stairs leading up
from the main floor of the south store
a nine-foot arch is to be cut i'm the wall
between the two stores. on the second
floor. Inspection has revealed that this
is of solid masonry of the same charac-
ter as the front of the building and at
the point where the arch is to be cut
is an old wooden window frame sunk in

the masonry, making it evident that the
wall there once was the south wall of
a building north of that part which
was occupied by the Pratt store, but
which has the the appearance in front
of having been built at the same time.
On the main floor Of the Woolworth
store, at what was the rear of the ORIG
inal building before the wooden exte9-
sion was put on, is an arch of brick
resting on masonry piers that extend
into the store about two feet on each
side. The piers and arch are to be
taken out and steel girders substituted
Mr.. Cushman was asked how he was
going to hold up the three stories of
brick wall above the arch while he
took it out and installed the steel grid
ers. He replied that it was going to
be done, but that the minute details
he had not determined vet. This partic-
ular part of the job he considers as
difficult as any he has tackled to date
The arch was built so nearly fat that
it has settled
The floor over the store to be occn-
pied by the Woolworth Co. has becn
used for tenement purposes, but it is TO
be thrown into one large room connect
ed with the floor over the south store
by the nine foot opening. The entire
second floor will be thus used by the
HuntrcssWood Co. with the exception
of the space at the front in the center
of the building for the stairway leading
to the two floors above which are used
for tenement and lodge room purposes.
It will be some time before all the
Improvements are completed. but Mr..
Cushman expects to have the south
store in condition for decorators bv
