Don't Let That Cold
 Turn Into "Flu"
 Rub Musterole on the Congested Parts

Grippe, Flu Pneumonia all start the same way-with a cold.
 All colds are congestion and Mus terole is a simple counter-irrita tant which brings ejaculation back to nor mai and helps prevent serious de yelopments.
 Remember that messy old mustard plaster, how it stung and blstered! It did the work all right, but Oh, it was a stern measure. Musterole has all the healing properties of grand mothers pet remedy without the sting and blister.
 Made of pure oil of mustard, cam phor. menthol and other soothing i'm sredients, it has-been used by phy- sicians for years for treating Flu" Lnmbago, Grippe, Pleur:sy, Rheuma- tism, Neuralgia, Headache and Pneu- monia.
 It was used in our training camps during the Flu" epidemic a few years ago. The Y. NJ. c. A. sent thou sands of jars to France for our sold ters over there.

The story thus far:
 Camille Westbrook has journeyed to south Africa with her little butterfly friend Dolly Mortimer, who has made the trip from London to join her hus- band at Johannesburg. Elliot Glyn is in love with Camille but because of poverty does not feel justified in binding her to an engagement. She has in her possession valuable ring. which she has accepted as security on loan to Reggie Van Tuyl, man about town, who is always in finan- eial difficulties. On shipboard at a fancy dress dance the ring was snatched from her by a mysterious masked man, but was later returned. Camille. Polly and Glyn are sight seeing together t-

 The little lady flung a killing glance at Camilles friend. And then she added, consulting her letter;

she nearly upset the table.
 Hes a good old fellow" said one of her friends. "The snakes won't harm you. Sit down and watch"
 Out of one of the baskets the old man drew wrigglng cobra, which he set down with a plop upon the verandah, about ten feet off from where Camille was sitting. She shiv- cred.
 Then he took the penny whistle from the child and piped a strange tune upon it. The cobra rose majes- tically, as though bewitched, coil after coil. until it's dreadful hood rose too. angry and combative. It's cruel cunning little eyes swept the occu pants of the hotel veranda as though meditating on which victim to select.
 Camille shivered again. The deadlf snake seemed to have it's gaze on her.
 Glyn touched her arm.
 Don't be afraid. Those Indian charmers are very clever The crea- ture's hypnotized and couldn't hurt you"
 She was glad none the less, when it was in it's basket once again, and the old man was swallowing fire, which he did with great gusto, as though he liked the taste of It. Not content with eating blazing paper, he brought smoking peanuts out of his mouth, and then actual flames.
 Thereafter the vanishing trick was performed with the little black boy in the basket. And then the hat was handed round.
 As the old Indian approached Camille, his glance fell for moment on Reggie's lovely sapphire. There it rested. Then he spoke. He bent to- ward the girl, and his voice was so low that no one else but Glyn and herself could hear 1t.
 Ring bring trouble to missy sahib. Plent-a danger, missy! Missy sahib throw ring away Be happy, then"
 The hotel manager approached and ordered the snake -charmer to depart at once. He had collected a fair amount of contributions for his show and went off quietly.
 But his words fingered in Camlle's mind.
