meats and fruits, only very small

perhaps, a little salt or sugar. think
this fact ought to be well advertised.
Il do not think the great canning
trade should suffer because such an
insignificant few persist in either
using artificial color, artificial sweet
ner or a chemical preservative.

London, May 5.-Ex-Empress Eu-

who sat upon the imperial throne OF
France, is celebrating her S3rd birth
day today; old, broken in health and
spirit and chastened by the misfor-

but highly sensational and extremely
brilliant career. Few women can
look back upon experiences so varied
and full of contrast as the now old

Few women ever rose from compare

handing position of honor in so short
time, to drain to the bitter dregs
the cup of disappointment, regret and
repentance.

A Phenomenal Career.

Eugenie's career was in many re-
da. Spain. on May 5, 1926, Eugene
d MOntijo was the product of a pc
culiar racial mixture. Her father,
the Count de MOntijo, was a Spanish
grandee, who traced his lineage to
the early Spanish kings, while her
mother was a kirkpatrick, of Scotch
Irish stock. Her mother was an ex-
tremely clever and cunning adven-
turess and it was due as much to her
scheming and careful laying of plans
as to her daughters beauty and
briliancy that Eugene succeeded not
only in winning the love of Prince
Louis Napoleon, then president of the
second republic, but in bringing him
to complete surrender. 1t was we'll
known that Napoleon's intentions at
first were far from being honorable,
but so carefully did the mother and
daughter play their game that Ma
pOleOn, who had in the meantime be-
come emperor, married the young ad-
ventures, contrary to the advice of
his ministers.
Once Idol of France.
The marriage took place on Janu-
airy %, 1853. The French people
were full of enthusiasm over the ro-
nance of the alliance and idolized
the beautiful young woman who
shared the throne. A brilliant time
courts and for many years Eugene
was the most envied and most talked
of woman in the world. But, not
satisfied with her triumphs as a
woman, she became possessed with
consuming ambition for political
power. Her attempts to crafty this
ambition led to serious and disas-
trous consequences, disastrous not
only to France, but for the ambitious
empress.
The fall of Sedan, the imprison-
ment of Napoleon and the siege of
Paris were followed by the terrible
days of the commune. Eugene, no
longer the idol of her peopl, made
her escape from Paris and France
only with great difficulty, under the
protection of DIR. Evans, an American
dentist, and reached England, fugi-
tive, without country and shorn of
all her greatness. Only her banished
husband and her only son remained
to her. Napoleon died soon thereaf-
ter at Chiselhurst and a few years
later her beloved son was killed
fighting for the English in South
Africa.
