They Are Apt to irritats the Neck and
Gauss carbvnciss.
The tack Of the neck is the com.
monest place for a carbuncie to ap-
pear. It Is a most sensitive spot. not
70 much on the surface Of the skin
20 in the underlying tissues. wherein
are great nerves that communicate
very closely with the brain. 21d it Is
In these tissues that the carbuncle
spreads its "roots."
A carbuncle is a breaking down Of
the tissue caused by the germs call
ed streptococcus and staphylococcus.
These are the principal but by no
means the only pus producing germs.
They eat and break down the tissues.
The white corpuscles Of the blood rush
to the spot and try to devour the at
lacking bacteria. Millions of them per-
ish in the attempt. and pus is really a
mixture of dead white %corpuscles and
germs that are exuding virulent poi
sons.
Carbuncles select the back Of the
neck so often because Of the irritation
caused by the collar If this be slightly
frayed or roughened by careless laun-
dering. The back of the neck is al
most as much exposed to dirt as are
the backs Of the hands and needs
washing almost as often. The rubbing
Of the collar scrapes off the scaly sur
face Of the skin. which Is its protec-
ton against germs Of disease. This
being gone. the germs enter unop-
posed.
A collar button pressing constantly
on the one spot may produce the same
effect.
And in a few days you are going
around with a bandage OF your neck
and suffering awful torture. Fortu-
nately the doctors have discovered an
antitoxin that quickly cures carbun-
cles. Yet even when this is admins
tered the patient Is doomed to much
pain.
The moral Of all this is: Don't wear
a collar that Is the least bit frayed.-

HER SCHEME FAILED.
Plight Of 4 Singer Who Yearnsd TO

Plight Of 4 Singer Who Yearned to
captivate Ludwig Il.
King Ludwig IL. Of Bavaria had a
wonderful winter garden at Munich.
which was built on the roof Of the
residenz. There was also an artificial
lake with a painted panoramic back
ground of the Himalaya mountains,
and when the king sat in the garden
a property" moo shed it's gaseous
light above the snow capped peaks.
The king used often to command art
lists from the theater to perform in the
winter gardens. and l remember the
fate which befell Josephine Schefsky.
a large. tall woman. whose n wish
in life. was to attract Ludwfg's notice.
AS all singers sang hidden behind
screens. Josephina's chances Of meet
ing the king face to face were exceed
ingly small. But what woman is ever
at a loss for an expedient? She knew
how chivalrously romantic Ludwig
| could be on occasions. so she decided
she would fall into the lake and en-
treat him to rescue her.
The evening arrived. Jose
phina warbled her sweetest for the
benefit of the listening monarch and
when the song was over plunged
heavily into the lake.
There was a tremendous noise. and
the water splashed to the topmost
summit Of the "Himalayas.' but the
lady remained chin deep in the lake.
whose still waters were not so deep
as they looked. "Save me. save me.

The king rang the bell. "Get that
woman out of the lake and send her
home.' he commanded. and the drip

been no di61culty. Valet and 'varlet'
are the same word, meaning originally
Just a boy, the diminudve Of tvassal,'

"Picnic cooking. If in inexpert hands,

thin sheet iron. thirty inches long by

you want. This lid across two little
