WHERE GREAT EMPEROR DIED
Lonuwood, the Prison House Of Napo-
leon, ls Maintained Much az
He Knew it.

Longwood Old House, the prison
home of Napoleon, is about four miles
from jamestown, the capital Of St
Helena. Dismally unattractive. the
place is In about the same condition
that it was in the emperor's time. A
low rambling one-storied farmhouse,
once the dwelling of a peasant farmer
Of the island, it is hard to connect the
place with the one-time master of the
Tuileries and Versailles. But Long
wood has an air of romance and mys-
terry OF Its own. for it was the death
place Of Napoleon.
The house is badly lighted and i'll
ventilated. The rooms are tiny and
musty. The so-called billiard room
could never have held even the small
est table and the players at the same
time. The reception room into which
the emperor was moved when dying, is
the pleasantest spot in the place, for
1t boasts Of more than one window. 1t
was in the space between the two win
dows that the death bed was placed.
Here today is bust of the emperor.
Visitors to Longwood sign the ancient
visitors. book in this reception room,
while the aged guide tells the story of
Napoleon's last days.
Above the first floor are the garnet
rooms, little more than cubby holes,
where former statesmen and marshals
of France lived during their exile with
their master. Outside is the tiny gar
den and the emperor's favorite arbor.
Here is the fishpool built by his own
hands. At the foot of the plateau is
Geranium valley, and the emperor's
tomb. 1t. was by Napoleon's own re-
quest that he was buried here. The
famous willow tree of fiction and his
tory still shadows the emperor's tomb.
In 1858 Queen Victoria presented
Longwood to Napoleon III, who re-
stored the old place to the condition
In which the great emperor knew it.

1900 New York Doctors
Fighting Poison Gas.

Do you know that you folks at home
as well as the brave boys over there.
are menaced by poison gas"-the
insidious kind that steals away health
and the joy of living, in the perpetually
recurring disturbances resulting from
gassy, sour stomach.
1900 New York physicians regularly
prescribe JOHNS DIGESTIVE
TABLETS as the most perfect form
OF relief known for these stomach dis
orders. The TABLETS are highly
beneficial for gastric and intestinal
indigestion, heartburn, acid or sour
stomach, natulence and gastric catarrh.
They sure do vanish that poison gas
which is the basis of most stomach
ailments, as we'll as Danish bad breath
which usually heralds that gas-filled
stomach.
Get the TABLETS at your drug
store. They insure quick, lasting relief
by taking three to six dissolved in
glass of water or chewed before swall-
owing. Have JOHNS DIGESTIVE
TABLETS handy in the dining room
for chronic cases of gastric or intcs-
final indigestion as one or two TAB
LETS should be taken before each
meal.
