Further investigation showed that
these differences were due to the
length of time occupied in smoking.
The same weight of tobacco smoked in
five minutes produced nearly three
times as many yellowish-brown spots
as if smoked in fifteen minutes.
The professors, therefore, concluded
that a rapid smoker inhales a much
larger quantity of poisonous substance

EDWARD VII HAS MANY SUITS.

Some one has said that King Ed
ward never wears the same suit twice.
This is an exaggeration, The King
changes his attire about three times
a day and consequently would need
more than 1000 new suits a year, cost
ing something like $4,000, if such a
story were true. AS matter of fact,
he orders about thirty new suits every
year, and at Buckingham Palace,
Windsor Castle and Sandringham he
keeps a stock of about 200.
