You, yourself, rarely know
when you have halitosis (unpleas-
ant breath). That's the insidious
thing about it. And even your
closest friends won't tell you.
Sometimes, of course, halitosis
comes from some deep-seated or
ganic disorder that requires pro-
fessional advice. But usually
and fortunately-halitosi is only
a local condition that yields to
the regular use of Listerine as a
mouth wash and gargle. 1t is an
interesting thing that this we'll
known antiseptic that has been
in use for years for surgical dress
ings, possesses these unusual
properties as a breath deodorant.
Test the remarkable deodoriz-,
ing effects of Listerine this way:
Rub little onion on your fingers.
Then apply Listerine and note ,
how quickly the onion odor dis
appears.
This safe and long-trusted an
tiseptic has dozens Of different
uses; note the little circular that
comes with every bottle. Your
druggist sells Listerine in the
original brown package only -
nuer in bulk. There are three
sizes: three ounce, seven ounce
and fourteen ounce. Buy the
large size for economy.-Lambsrt

explained the man. Il am Gen.
Zaroff."
Rainsfords first impression was
that the man was singularly hand
some; his second was that there was
an original, almost bizarre quality
about the Generals face. He was a
tall man past middle age, for his hair
was a vivid white; but his thick eye
. brows and pointed military mustache
were as black as the night from which
Rainsford had come. His eyes, too,
were black and very bright. He had
high cheek bones, a sharp-cut nose,
a spare, dark face, the face of a man
used to giving orders, the face of an
aristocrat. Turning to the giant in
uniform, the General made a sign.
The giant put away his pistol, saluted
withdrew.

has the misfortune to be deaf and
dumb. A simple fellow, but, I'm

and his smile showed red lips and
pointed teeth. $50 am I.

chatting here. We can talk later.
Now you want clothes, food, rest.
You shall have them. This is a most
restful spot
Ivan had reappeared. and the Gen.
eral spoke to him with lips that
moved but gave forth no sound.
Follow Ivan, If you please, Mr..
Rainsford," said the General. II was
about to have my dinner when you
came. III wait for you You'll find
that my clothes will fit you. I think" ."
1t was to a huge, beam -ceilinged
bedroom with canopied bed big
enough for six men that Ratnsford
followed the silent giant. Ivan laid
out an evening suit, and Rainsford,
as he put 1t on, noticed that it came
from a London tailor who ordinarily
cut and sewed for none below the
rank of a duke.
The dining room to which ivan con-
Quoted him was in many ways re-
markable. There was a medieval
magnificence about it; 1t suggested a
baronial hall of feudal times with it's
vast refectory table, where two score
men could sit down TO eat About the
hall were the mounted heads of many
animals - lions, tigers, elephants,
moose, bears. Larger or more per
feet specimens Rainsford had never
seen. At the great table the General
was sitting alone.
You'll have a cocktail. Mr.. Rains
ford" he suggested. The cocktail
was surprisingly good, and Rainsford
noted the table appointments were
of the finest-the linen, the crystal,
the silver. the china.
They were eating borsch, the rich,
red soup with whipped cream so dear
to Russian palates. Half apologeti-
cally Gen. Zaroff said. I'VE do our

track. you know. Do you think the
