know just how one feels with small
pox. Mr.. Bob Groves has just recov-
cred from an attack which, although
light, was the genuine article. The

such constant user of tobacco. Mr..
Groves's room mate did not USE tobac-

deal, and his whole body was solid
sore. Mr.. Groves said he was only
out of the office about II days. When
first taken sick he ached all over, and
had fever until the smallpox broke
out. After that it caused him little
trouble. Mr.. Groves has only few
scars, one or two in his hand and one
on his nose. They will probably dis
appear in a few weeks. ''''''The mar
