Novelty in Autos.

The zenith Of luxury has almost
been reached in automobiles. The
newest Of all in the auto line in which
luxury crowds luxury is an attach
ment to a magnificent limosine car
which a. prominent society belle re-
'ceived as a wedding present from her
father. Apartment would be a more
appropriate word than attachment,
for the novelty IS tiny boudoir, a
boudolrette, as the makers call it.,
built into the body of the car. The
little apartment Is really a dressing
room. II can be shut off from the
rest Of the tonneau by sliding panels
and 1t has barely space for the fair
owner and her maid to squeeze in
side. Small as the room is wonders
can be accomplished therein. The
owner, when touring, can be greatly
refreshed from the effects of a long
spin by refining to her boudoirette
and submitting herself to the skilful
hands of her maid A fine dressing
case swings from the wall, a minia-
ture lavatory occupies corner, mir
rors line the whole interior and the
boudolrette Is lighted with softly
shaded incandescent bulbs. The auto
has all the other conveniencies known

Edwin A. Ha.sey, late assistant
Charge d'Affaires of the senate press
gallery, who halls from Virginia, is
responsible for the following story,
according to the Washington Post:
An old darby who had not been to
church for a long time appeared one
night at prayer meeting. His pres
ence at the meeting was commented
on by one of his brethren of the
church. The conversation between
the two was something like this:
Say, Brother Johnson. l amt saw
you heah at de meetin' house for a
considerable duration"
Oats So" replied Brother John
son; "I'se been very busy"
We'll, how came you hean tonight.

Winter Coughs

IS uric acid irritation of the mucous
membrane of your lungs, causing the
deep, hollow coughing and unpleas-
ant mucous discharges. You can
get relief only by removing the uric
acid, and this you can easily do with
the right means. LIFE PLANT is
the remedy provided by Nature ex-
pressly with which to fight uric acid.
Uric acid is part of the body's waste
matter, which the blood is always
busy carrying away from all over your
system to throw out through the kid
neys. But if your blood is weakened,
as follows age, it is unable to get rid
of all the uric acid, which then crys-
tallizes in the form of tiny, Jsharp
grains resembling sand. A slight
cold in your chest causes these little
grains to lodge in the bronchial tubes
where they constantly irritate the
mucus membrane. Expectorants or
inhalations can never cure you OF
this trouble, because they cannot
touch the cause.
LIFE PLANT quickly clears away
bronchitis, because it goes in with the
blood and diSSoI0eS and rem0ves the
cause.-The uric acid grains. 1t makes
not the least difference how long you
have had bronchitis. Begin taking
LIFE PLANT nozO, and soon your
lungs will be young again, breathing
with the vigor of youth and giving
your blood full supply Of oxygen to
keep it red and warm. This is one
of hundreds of testimonials: J

Naval Struggle Is elimination OF
National Rivalry Between Two
Great Countries.
HAS HORROR OF PROSPECTS

London, April G. the coming
naval struggle between Germany and
Great Britain which most students
of FOREIGN politics believe inevitable,
will reduce both to the second rank
among sea powers. That is the main
conclusion of a writer who calls him
self "Star of the Sea-"
"Armageddon, 100" is the title
of his anonymous work, published in
Berlin.
1t is the most brilliant effort to
construct history in advance that
this age of speculation has seen.
More than 100000 copies have been
sold in Germany and Admiral Sir E.
R. Fremantle mas written an intro
duction to the authorized English
translation, by Mr.. E. G. Herring,
published today in London.
This books authorship has even
been ascribed to the Kaiser But
whoever wrote It plainly regards
with genuine horror the prospect of
:, an inter-European war. He chiefly
urges upon his countrymen pacific
spirit-and a stronger fleet.
And patriotic bias does not prevent
constant references to British pluck
and skill; "The Britons showed that
the men under the Union Jack had
not forgotten their old traditions"
