 He turned and swaggered out of the room before the astounded Grant could
 so much as swear at him. The loan broker
 jumped to his feet to follow and hale him
 back. But as he started for the door his angry glance fell on the folded letter Brown had handed him. He opened and read it. Then he sat down, very hard and read it all over again-chol1ing and gurgling in helpless wrath The letter was typewriter and very brief. It ran: MT Joseph Brown: The notes which you gave George Grant for loan at out rageous interest rates have been de- stroyed. Therefore, your debt is cancelled ONE WHO PITIES THE POOR.

 Grant, his eyes blurred with fury was
 barely able to note that this letter was a
 typewriter duplicate of Browns.
 'Its-it's lie!'' he stormed. "A trick!
 I have your notes safe in my desk here.'
 '"Yes?' politely returned Peterson. 'Then
 perhaps you would not mind showing
 them to me?'

 June Travis emerged from her bed room, heavy eyed from sleeplessness, and. in pretty negligee, entered her sitting room. Mary was standing there, awaiting her. June, as she had done since babyhood, went over to kiss the old woman good morning. Then, and only then, did she notice

The other advice is, Avoid quack cough remedies" " pr. Harvey Wiley in the Rochester health report says: Take a bottle of cough medicine, set it on the table in the patients room, open all the windows and then throw the bottle of cough medicine out through one of them"
 In Jefferson county alone there have in the last month been S4 deaths from pneu- monia and it's first cousin, grippe. In Cleveland there were reported 5 deaths in three days; Hartford has reported this year 20,000 cases and there were 12,000 in Philadelphia, many in Harrisburg and a very bad epidemic in New York.
 While grippe continues to furnish ma terial for the headliner the funny man and the staff poet it is also furnishing material for the board of health the bac- teriologists and doctors in general. And while the expert is working on the dis ease to find some remedy that will be permanent and effective in it's removal we should be cautious, remembering the advice of those that do in way know
