LA GRIPPE is the new tangled name for the old fashioned ailment known to our forefathers as influenza. W hen christen­ ed by its new Gallic title its origin is at­ tributed to a derangement of the spinal chord. When plain "pinkeye" or "epi­ zootic" its cause is found in a plebian cold. By whatever title called it is a diet- agreeable attachment, which it is well to treat with care, and epcape from without over-much haste in the parting. THE following from an exchange is grspel truth. "The prosperity of a town is not guided by the wealth of its inhab­ itants, but by the uniformity with which they pull together when any important duty is to be accomplished. A man with a thousand dollars at his command and an interest in the welfare of the town at heart, can do more for the building and improving of it ifchan a millionaire who locks up his capital and snaps his finger at home progress." /THE family of John Adams, who re- resides just west of the railroad, on the Woodstock road, are undergoing a se­ vere trial these days. A young son, aged about fiva years, is very low with lunjr fe^er, while the mother and other children are sick with the prevail­ ing epidemic. They are certainly entit­ led to the Sympathy of all. Mr. Adams is a hard working man, but with a large family and the added misfortune of sick­ ness, makes his lot indeed a hard one. CITIZENS TELEPHONE COMPANY.

When he is little the big girls kiss him, wben he is big the little girls kiss him. If be raise a large family he is a chump, but if he raises a small check he is a thief and fraud and is shunned like a Christian with the seven-year-itch. If he's poor, he is a poor manager; if he is ricb, he's dishonest; if he's in politics you can't tell where to place him and he is no good for his country, if he does an act of char­ ity it's for policy; ir he wont give for charity he is stingy and lives only for himself; if he died young there WHS great future before him; if he lives to old age he has missed bis calling.

Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip color. So is their complexion. They may also have indigestion, or suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex­ haustion and sometimes the heart acts badly. The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys. Usually the sufferer from kidney dis­ ease does not find out what tde trouble Is until it is almost too late, because the first symptoms are so like mild sickness that they do not think they need a medi­ cine or a doctor until they find them­ selves eick in bed. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build up and strengthen their weak and dis­ eased kidneys, purify ther diseased, kid­ ney-poisoned blood, clear their complex­ ion and soon they enjoy better health. Yoc can get the regular sizes at the drug store, at fifty cents and one dollar, or you may first prove for yourself the wonderful virtues of this great discovery, Swamp-Root, by sending youraddressto Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, N.
