LEFT LUGGAGE"

LEFT LUGGAGE.
The imperial Russian visitors were due to
arrive al Breslau at o'clock on the follow
ing morning. and in order to be up betimes
and enjoy the advantage which their win
dows gave them of viewing the spec
tacle the Baroness Won Lindberg and her
guests retired early. Truth TO say the three
women spent rather a dull evening, for
Lady Metcalf, who was a stickler for the
proprieties, not overpleased with the
part played by her headstrong daughter in
dealing with the supposed American mil
lionaire. 1t savored a little too much of
free-and-easiness to suit old-fashioned no.
tions. And the baroness. though too fond
of Laura. whom she had known from child
hood. to be offended, had received an un-
pleasant shock TO her nerves.
The culprit herself. conscious of having
done her best to get Ilma's young man
out of the scrape." entered her bedroom
with a CHEEKY smile at the prospect of see
ing her beautiful Russian friend, if only
for a few minutes. on the morrow. Her
health and temper were too sound TO let
her trouble about Lady Metcalfs frigid
looks. and having no nerves to speak of
herself she had failed to notice the shaken
condition of her hostess. She was a little
disappointed that her lover had not looked
in to coffee, as he had half promised. but
even on that score her mental balance was
proof against irritation.
Mother is a little starchy tonight. but
she'll be all right by the morning. And as
for Spencer. l suppose he's worrying round
with some of these German potentates. He
will get on-that youthful he sticks to bust
ness tight.
Having thus summed uD the deficiencies
of the evening. Laura dismissed them from
her mind. and exchanging her dinner dress
for a dressing gown. sat down for half
hour a novel before getting into bed.

records are concerned, has not been pre-
served. but he would be proud man did

a change come over Delavars countenance
as he understood what was required of him.

had disappeared. leaving only an amused
tolerance for girlish ignorance. The young

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one Of
the most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with. can be
prevented by the use of Chanberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suit. from cold or from an attack OF
influenza grip, and ii has been OBJ
served that this remedy couateracts any
tendency of these diseases toward ,pneu-
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the, great
prevalence OF colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from a slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there IS fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest,
then it is announced that the patient
has pneumonia. Be on the safe side

LETTUCE PREVENTS SMALLPOX


Don't forget that lettuce is apreventlve
of smallpox.
So far as it is possible for human
being to be protected from catching small
pox. lettuce is a protection.
No need for vaccination whatever.
Any person who eats a small quantity OF
lettuce twice day, morning and evening,
is as we'll protected against smallpox as
it is possible for any one to be.
To be sure, one ought TO be clean,
ought to live in ventilated rooms, and
avoid dirt of all sorts. Also avoid con-
tact with people who have smallpox.
Foolish exposure to the contaglon oi
smallpox is not 10 be thought of. But
there is no need for vaccination.
Go calmly on about your business.
Provide asmal quantity of lettuce morn
ing and evening, and you can feel sure
that YOU have protected yourself and your
family in the best possible way against
smallpox.
Lettuce is one of the Oldest vegetable
remedies known to the medical profession.
long before it was used as food it was
used as medicine. Many times it ma:
beep claimed that it has magical or mi
racufous powers to prevent contagious
disease. we believe this is carrying
matters altogether too f=r. But lettuce
does furnish to the system exactly what
is needed TO protect it against the poison
of smallpox.
We defy any one to produce case o
smallpox thathas been contracted by an!
person who made daily use Of lettuce as ,
food. Ifthereis any such case on record
