The sickness known as the grip"
was never so prevalent as at the
present. There is, perhaps, not a
| home in Wausau but what has been

physician been called in the early
| stages.
The sidewalks of our city have
been almost impossible the past week
and our citizens have taken to the
middle of the street. 1t seems as if
this might be remedied. In most

kid on here, but this in cold weather
is absolutely no good. If the condi-
ton keeps up our authorities should
| find some way to mitigate this
dangerous condition and get busy.
