CHOICE "SMOKES" RECOVERED
How the Duke Of COrnwaIIs Cigars
Fared In the Wreck Beneath
ga, the WavcH.

Private advirps to a London tobacco
dealer give the informatio that some
1000 of the costly cigars shipped for
the use of the duke of Cornwall and
his suite while in Canada have been
recovered from the hull of the
wrecked liner Lusitania, on the east
coast of Newfoundland. In all 10000
of the highest class cigars, intended
for royal nse, were on the Lusitania,
packed in hcrmetically sealed cases.
They were consigned to the citadel
at Quebec to await the arrival of the
Ophir. Each cigar was valued at three
shillings.
So choice were the costly ''smoke
that. in case the crew might break
open the cases, they were packed in
The extreme stern of the ship and
bolted behind heavy planking. When
it became known to the islanders that
the dukes cigars were part of the
Lusitania's cargo, patrol was estab-
lished to search for boxes on the
BEACH.
All the smokers on the island reveled
in dreams of -thrce-shilling cigars
without stint. Spectators wanted
them also. But their dreams came to
nothing. Divers, after ten weeks
work, have now got at the cigars, and
according to the cable, have saved
1000 in good condition. The other
5000 were washed out of the wreck.
Meanwhile, however, the dukes cigar
order has been duplicated in London.

IMPATIENT PATIENTS,
Many Require Treatment from Which
They Can Realize Immediate q,
Results,

Peepls SO frequently blame doctor
for failing to perform impossibiities
that at the recent meeting OF the Brit
ish Medical association distinguished
physician undertook to state the case
fairly. and show that some Of the bur-
den of failure ouphr TO rest upon the
patients, says Youths Companion.
As human beings have become more
sensitive to pain, he said, thej have got
into the habit Of requiring treatment
that produces immediate results.
Thence arise two evils, dangerous ex-
periments with drugs and needless re.
course / o surgery.
The average invalid. said this med
ical man, wants TO know at once what
Is the matter with him. The doctor
cannot always tell, and would like to
await developments. But the patient
insists on being dosod, and as often as
not demands that an opera tion" be
performed. If he were content to go
to bed and keep still, his ailment
might cure itself; yet if the doctor
suggests this, the patient concludes
that nothing is being done" for him,
and he hastens to call another doctor.
Two things the public needs 10 real
ize: that the best physicians do not
travel with knives in their hands
since they know that surgery has its
pains and perils, as well as it's sue
cesses--and thas they are increasing
ly averse to dealing out drugs.
The great men of the profession win
half their victories with pure air,
cleanliness, proper diet, and Insist
ence on exercise for we'll people and
rest for sick ones. Less famous physi-
clans would be glad to follow their ex-
ample if men and women would pos.
sess their souls in patience and forego
the desire to turn their stomachs into
apothecary shops. Give the Doctor
