It Is said that business men who are
interested In missionary work are con
sidering the advisability of sending n
special agent to the various mission
ary stntlons of the world to repovt c.ii
their conduct. Innumerable agents
have traveled from place to place and
submitted Innumerable reports on the
work In foreign lunds. but they have
always been connected with the mis
sionary societies themselves nnd were
not, strictly peaklng, independent In
vestigators. Some mission stations
have become self-supporting. The bus
iness men want to llnd out why others
haw not done so. They make no
charges of Incompetency, but merely
think It possible that Christian people
of this country are giving money to
missions that ought to sustain them
selves after all these years of outside
aid. It Is to be expected that a close
examination Into the business princi
ples of missionary work will have re
sults by which all concerned may pro
fit greatly.

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC.
Opinions of Now York Physicians ns
to Causo nnd Cure,
(New York Exchange.)
''There Is probably no family In the
city of which some member Is not laid
up, or at least attacked by the grip.
"While grip Is the same old enemy,
It seems to he very different this sea
son from other years. On the streets
und street curs and in the churches
ono meets with people violently sneez
ing, with running eyes, coughing nnd
with n woe-begone expression on their
fuccs. Like nil epidemics of this kind,
few uro exempt. It attacks tho rich
ami poor alike and physicians are
being worked night und day.
"To obtain reliable Information on
this most Important subject a reportrr
locontly called upon some well known
physicians to lenrn from them whnt he
could do In relation to It.
"All agreed on the opinion that the
malady was rapidly Increnslng and
that In most cases it was of an ex
tremely dangerous nature."
"Ono medlcnl mnn, who Is said to
havo treated no less thnn ono hundred
grip patients in a single week, saU
to the reporter:
"Serious results will always follow
nn nttack of tho grip it It Is not prop
erly treated. Often it runs into pneu
monia und always It leaves unpbasunt
or dangerous complications. It seenin
to be different this year from ever be
fore. My experience has shown that
the worst grip conies when the body
Is clogged up nnd when tho secretions
full to have the right exit.
"Huvo you ever seen a sewer or u
drain clogged? Well, that Is precise
ly the condition of the body that in
vites grip. Tho ilitlds have no means
of escape nnd so they back up and
Hood everything, justas a clogged sew
er Hoods tho stieets. Is this not nat
ural? It is certainly true.
"When a person Is attacked by grip,"
the doctur continued, "he should not
try to light off the sensations of .old,
aching limbs and extreme we.ttinoss
under the impression that ho has dim
ply an ordinary cold, but should stuy
Indoors, avoid excess of eating and
drinking, and, above all, take a timely
remedy."
Tho reporter being unxious to dis
cover what the public consldeied u
timely remedy nnd wns taking moat,
visited the lending drug stores and
Interviewed the proprietors. The gen
eral opinion was well expressed by the
manager of a prominent Fifth avenue
pharmacy, who said: "Grip? Yes it
Is raging. Hut it seems to come in a
different way from any former years.
People come Into our store all clogged
up. Not necessarily in the head, but
all over tho body. They have head
aches, it Is true, but then they have
backache, too, and pains all through
the system. You know the body Is
like n city. All the waste matter must
bo carried away. When the sewers do
not work there Is trouble. Poop's are
beginning to understand that they
must keep the sewers, especially the
kidneys, in good condition, or they can
not hope to escape or regain health.
What Is the remedy? Well, we have
a store full of so-called remedies but
we have only one which our customers
llnd produces the effects desired. Wc
do not recommend anything, but I can
tell you what tho people use. It is
something rellnble, something which is
certain to unclog the system, Horn- -thing
which Is recommended by phy
sicians and Is very popular wltn Un
people Warner's Safe Cure. AVe look
upon It ns the safest and the best rem
edy that anyone enn take when huftei
Ing from the many, many scrloiu ail
ments so common at this season of the
year."
This Information Is certainly of tho
highest Importance In view of tlv In
creasing number of people who are suf
fering from colds, chills, grip and the
Ills of tho season. Very often the
serious results which follow these at
tacks might have been avoided if the
proper remedy had been taken In time.
Health is a serious mutter und espec
ially at this season of the year, when
so many things are lighting bi'teily
against it.
