as war was believed inevitable. the
French authorities took steps to see
that the baron, who was German
reservist, remained in France. But
night before the declaration of war,
he and his wife started in their auto
mobile for the German frontier and
reached Frankfort. where his mother
lived, in safety.
When the French people discover
ed his escape. an enraged mob burned
the Chateau De Mumm to the ground

Baron De Mumm at once Joined the
army and was active in the Belgium
campaign. He SO distinguished him.
self there that he was decorated with
the Iron Cross by the kaiser, an honor
that is coveted by the German soldiers.
Further honor was bestowed upon
him when General Hindenberg. after
the Belgian campaign was over, was
given command of the entire army of
the east and chose De Mumm as his
personal aide.
The hardships of the campaign
were 50 severe that De Mumm was
taken i'll with an acute attack of APP
pendicitis and was hurried to a hos
pital in Frankfort where an immedi-
ate operation saved his life. His wife
devoted herself to him during his ILL
ness until her health broke down and
she was sent to Switzerland to re-
cuperate. The young soldier was for
hidden by the physicians to return to
the front, but his patriotism would not
allow him to take advantage of their
orders and his Kansas wife returned
last week to Germany to see him
again before he rejoined the army.
Baroness De Mumm's sister. Mrs.
Lewis Treadwell of Albany, N. Y. be-
came SO concerned in the formers
welfare that she determined to go to
Germany to join her. 1t was impos-
sible for her husband to accompany
her at the time, SO she sailed on an
Italian steamer alone. She landed in
Genoa this week and is now making
her way through Italy and Switzerland
to Frankfort. She will stay there at
least two months and will try to bring
her sister back to America with her.
Baroness De Mumm, however, has
announced her determination to re-
main in Germany as long as her hus-
band Is in danger and the chances are
that she will not return to Kansas fol
a long time.

not thought to be pretty. But all the
change 1 made Was to clean my blood and
skim"
Many a face is made with beauti-
full contour and artistically lined, but
when the skin is discOlored one can
not see the beauty of the face lines.
One notices only the skin blemishes.
It's because the pimples and erup-
lions come from the inside-from i'm
pure blood-and you can't cure them
by rubbing stuff on the outside of the
face. Purify the blood and the blem-
ishes will disappear.
Stuart's Calcium Waters will often
clear the complexion in a few days
time. That's the wonderful part Of it
they act right off-in a hurry.
That's because they're made of just
the ingredients needed to drive all
poisons and impurities from the
blood. That's why doctors prescribe
them constantly.
You will speedily enjoy a beautiful
complexion if you use these wonder
full little Waters. Your face will be-
come as clear and pure as rose. No
body likes to have pimply-faced peO-
pie around. With Stuart's Calcium
Waters you don't have to wait for
months before getting results Even
boils have been cured in a few days
time with these remarkable effective
blood cleansers. Your whole system
will feel better in a marvelously short
time, and my, what a difference in
your looks!
