A single attack of the grip may mean
alifetime of misery if proper precautions
are not taken to restore the blood and
drive out the lingering poisons that
cause the so-called 'after-effects" OF the
disease.
The danger from the grip is seldom
over when the characteristic symptoms,
the fever, the catarrh, the headache and
the depression of spirits pass away.
The grip leaves behind it weakened vital

GENUINE DA VINCI BUST.
Kaiser Shown Evidence to Prove That
German Museum Was Not Buncoed.

Berlin, Nov. S.-The emperor has
summoned DR.. Bode. curator of the
Emperor Frederick Museum to report
on the allegations by English art
critics that the wax bust recently pur-
chased by the curator from an English
dealer was the work of Richard Cock
lie Lucas and not the work of Leon
ardi ia Vinci. DIR. Bode on behalf of
the museum paid an English art deal
er $4,000 for the life-sized bust of a
woman supposed to have been the
Vinci. Since the sale son of Lucas
has offered evidence to prove that the
bust was made by his father in 1886
The elder Lucas was a sculptor of
some prominence in London. DR.. BOde
submitted to the emperor the proofs
which had satisfied him of the gen.
uintness of the bust as representing
the workmanship of Da Vinci. He
said the bust had been examined by the
best German art critics and the judg-
ment of those as we'll as that of the
directors of some foreign museums
agreed with his own. Among the tests
to which the bust was subjected was
that of boring a hole in the neck. Ac-
cording to the curator this was almost
conclusive. as the busts by Lucas We're
usually hollow and stuffed with cloth
and plaster paris. while this bust
proved to be solid. His majesty ap-
peared to be satisfied that the Govern
ment's money had not been wasted.
