After one Of Billy Sundays
revivals a well known scape-goat
of Kansas City applied to "a
church for membership. The
committee knowing his reputa-
ton advised that he wait a month
and prayerfully consider { h e
matter of his fitness. At the
end of the month he returned
and was asked to give his ex-
perience before the entire church.
He arose, solemnly turned to the
minister, deacons and audience
and said: Fellow sinners, daily
for a month God has admonished
me not to feel badly if | did not
get into this church, for he had
tried for twenty years and was
not in it yet"

II may be followed by pneumo-
MIA, meningitis o intestinal
symptoms. In fact, in one form
of grippe the digestive track is
the chief location. This is known
as abdominal or intestinal grippe.
Grippe is particularly danger
Gus for those suffering from
chronic diseases, particularly, tn
berculosis. After a long absence
from America. an intensely Sc
we're epidemic reached this coun-
try in 1889. There was a large
number of deaths, and a number
of cases H. which the depression
and delirium reached insanity.
There were many cases of tuber-
culosis following this epidemic.
These cases were unquestiUnably
people who had been affected
with the tubercle germ and were
resisting / +. The attack o f
grippe so lowered their vital
power that the tubercle germ
again became active.
The first symptoms are usual
ly those Of an acute cold, chilli
ness, sneezing, dis barge from
the nostrils and a cough. The
germ is thrown out particularly
in the material which is coughed
up. 1t is fortunately a delicate
germ and cannot survive expos
ure for any length Of time.
The grippe germ is spread
chiefly by sneezing, coughing or
direct contact of any sort. The
use of the same handkerchief by
a number of persons readily
spreads it from one to another.
There is no generally known
specific treatment for grippe.
AS a rule patent medicines should
be avoided. 1t is a disease which
requires the services of a skilled
physician and the utmost care.

Basket ball grated upon the fox

This Is the newest CONNECTION IN the
dance world, originated by Mr. and
Mrs. Hamilton Douglas, Of Seattle,
Wash.
Il has started an athletic invasion
OF the ballroom which is spreading
rapidly.
The "Bal la Dance" they call It
"a competitive play in which four
dancers participate in open formation
and attempt 10 score in baskets at the
ends Of the hall
The ball is juggled along. passed
back and forth. or bounced upon the
floor, all to the accompaniment Of
the fox trot, one-step or hesitation

keep step.

to develop a perfect sense Of rhythm
in the dancer. II Is particularly ef-
fective in teaching a beginner TO
dance gracefully, for it takes the
dancers mind off his feet by keeping
his attention occupied elsewhere"
