Immune from Smallpox.

Lettuce is an absolute preventive Of
smallpox. No one is in the least par
tcle of danger Of catching smallpox
who eats little lettuce every day.
Smallpox belongs to the scorbutic class
of diseases. Sailors at sea deprived of
fresh vegetables get scurvy. Scurvy
is a typical scorbutic disease. Small
pox always RACES during the winter
season, when the poor people are de-
prived of fresh vegetable foods. Gel
cry and onions are good for This pur-
pose, but there is such a long interval
between their being gathered and being
eaten that they lose most of their an
tiscobutic properties.
Lettuce is served shortly after it is
picked. and hence contains the valua-
BILE properties which will prevent
smallpox. 1t is Il thousand times bet
ter than vaccination. 1t has no liabl-
tiles. like vaccination. to produce other
diseases. We are willing to stake our
professional reputation on the broad
statement that anyone who eats let
tuce daily will not catch smallpox,
whether he be vaccinated or not

THE HUMAN WAY.

y WONDER" muttered young Mrs.

r 81,
Perry, jerking a hatpin from the
cushion, eff I'll ever in this life
possess suitable and seasonable things
to wear?"
She thrust a hatpin rather viciously
through the dainty summer creation
that crowned her head.
Zone would suppose didn't know"
she Indignantly told her reflected i'm
age, that trim, tailor-made dress
and walking hat are the correct dress
for autumn. One would suppose l
didn't realize how shabby and out of
taste Is this hat, winter skirt and odd
spring jacket. But what use to know
these things. when one has no money ?"
She sighed despairingly and rum
mayed in box for her oft-cleaned
tan gloves. The sight of them lying
beside small pile of newly washed
neck ribbons provoked a fresh burst
Of scorn.
"Oh, the littlencss Of it!' she cried
bitterly. 'To spend ones God-given
energies in cleaning and mending and
turning and dyeing-all because of a
miserable, soul-pinching lack of
money"
Catching up gloves and pocketbOOk
she passed into the sitting room of
the little fiat.

jured her cousin. who bent above her

answer. Hes always getting into

The mother sighed impatiently. Il

it does seem as If might have some
recreation once in a while even If it's
no more than going to do little shop
ping. But then, I'm always made to
feel guilty whenever l demand any re-
lease from the daily grind"
She kissed the child hastily. "Good-
bye, Freddie-mamma's coming back
soon. Gracious. how dirty that dress
Is, and l just put 1t on an hour ago.
l must make him some new things
this week. Oh. the hundreds Of things
crying to be done. Shall l ever, ever
have any leisure?"
1T isn't right" she protested, as
she hurried along the street, that any
human being should be obliged to
waste precious powers on misery
economies and paltry strvings. There
should be time for something else
than getting meals and making beds
and keeping clothes in order. There
should be leisure! Time to think
and study and develop the higher re-
gions of ones being. Time to appre-
ciate the beauties of the finer things of
life. oh, there's something wrong with
the system Of things"
The sight of gorgeous shop windows
only accentuated her bitter mood. Mrs.
Perry did not possess the philosophy
that enables one to enjoy beauty re-

exquisite garments only filled her with
wretchedness.

to be deprived Of these things, when

one has the taste and the artistic abil-
ity to appreciate them SO keenly."
1t was half an hour later. as she
stood at counter making modest pur-
chases that the sound Of a woman's
voice nearby arrested her attention.
There was something exceedingly ia
miliar in the well-modulated tones
CHANGING up, she saw that her sur
mise was correct The perfectly ap-
pareled woman who stood looking at
silks was no other than a friend of
her girlhood.
The recognition was mutual. The
friends moved toward each other with
outstretched hands and glowing eyes.
'Why, Clara! Is this you?"
"And you, Margaret?
Then followed the rush Of questions
and comments most natural under the
circumstances.
Come with me-" said Clara Eber-
ly. drawing Mrs. Perry from the coun-
ter; well go to my hotel, where we
can talk over old times to our hearts
content. Shopping can wait for a day
or two"
She was so sweet, SO cordial. so like
the Clara Of former days. that Mrs.
Perry forgot for the moment that her
dress showed disheartening contrast
to the exquisitely fitting gown of gray.
Once in the street, however, the real
ization smote her. A handsom was
waiting for Clara The two women
got into 1t. and again the questions
and comments ran on.
1t was but few minutes ride to the
hotel. Mrs. Perry followed her friend
into the handsome entrance, trying
very hard not to be envious.
"And now," cried Mrs. Eberly as
they reached her room, 1--WE can have
cosy afternoon all by ourselves"
She rang the bell and ordered re-
freshments.
"Do sit back and relax and forget
If you can all about the duties wait
ing for you at home. l shan't listen
to your going under two hours at the
least. Dinner to get? Oh! WELL can't
you let 1t go for to-day? There! Per
haps it Is thoughtless for me to talk
so. You see, have no responsibilities
whatever. I've lived in hotels ever
since l married. Howard Is out of
town SO much, it really wouldn't be
sensible to keep house. And then l
travel with him most of the time"
Mrs. Perry leant forward impulsive
ly. "What an ideal life! she cried.
Just what I've always wanted. You
have leisure-time to think and study
and see the world and accomplish
great things. Oh! Clara, you should
be very thankful"
Mrs. Eberly laughed rather helpless
ly. accomplish great things" she re-
peated. "Why, Margaret. l don't ac-
complish anything. If you ask Inc
why, l am sure l cannot tell. All l
know is that l am constantly on the
go and yet l do nothing. My life is
absolutely of no use to the world.
Doesn't it sound dreadful? Especially
when you think of my essays at
school on the subject Of higher living
and all that. Pm sure you must be

received no less than $4,000 for the

the royalties on the sales of the book.

have been in the North than usual and
more attention has been paid them by
the newspapers. In several notable
instances they have resulted in local
race wars and innocent lives have been
sacrificed. 1t seems as though there
must be reaction against such awful
affairs. The safety, no less than the
credit of our country, demands there
be an end to them. 1t is pity that
every state where lynchings occur does
not have an executive like Governor
Durbin of Indiana. When officials will
do their duty and make an example OF
lynchers and rioters, there will be
fewer mobs to defy law and order. The
truth of Justice Brewers assertion will
not be appreciated where appreciation
Is most needed until few lynchers
have been hanged for murder.
