Contagious diseases are communi cated from one person to another; In fectious diseases are convoyed through the air. Smallpox Is a contagious disease; La Grippe Is Infectious. When nn epi demic of the grip Is prevailing It H In the nlr we breathe and no out! Is safe. The only safeguard In to keep the system In the highest possible condi tion of health nnd on tho llrst nppear ance of a cold In tho head to use some safe antiseptic like Stuart's Catarrh Tablets freely, n tablet taken every hour or two for a couple of days will b" sufllelent! to break up tho attack. La Grippe attacks the weakest part of the system, It may bo the lungs, heart, liver, stomach or kidneys, but wherever It dually locates It almost Invariably starts with cold In the head nnd tin out or In other words, th disease at the beginning Is acute ca tarrh. This Is the reason Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have beew uccissfui In breaking up attacks of grip. Tins antiseptic properties of the remedy destioy the germs before the whols system Is thoroughly Infected. Dr. Annlston says: Stuart's Catarrh Tablets being free from cocalno nnd harmful drugs should bo freely used nt this time of the year on the first appearance of gilp symptoms. They check the excessive catarrhal nrcretlons, stop the fever 'nnd prevent pneumonia. They are composed of nntlseptlcs and may be used by little children as fre:ly us by tidults and with great benefit. Dr. Lewiston says: My usual pre scription for tho grip Is Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets, which can be found at oil diug stores. Keep to the house tor a day or two nnd use the tablets freely, and I have never heard any complaint of failure to cure.

If there shall bo a, lack of room on the second floor there are several rooms on the third now used as storerooms for tho In ternal levonue department, which might be utilized.
