When the body is worn down by colds and the lungs weakened from coughing, pneumonia finds an easy vietim. Careful inguiry into many thou- sands of cases of pneumonia shows that this disease usually attacks the Detaon who is tired and worn out, who is therefore lacking in re- sisting power, In this letter is described a case in which the patient was in the great- est danger of contracting pneninonia or some similar disease, but fortun# ately she sought the aid of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food and was soon re- stored to health and strength. _ or Miss KE.

The following story is told by Al- fréd Capper in his Reminiscences (George Allen and Unwin). Dr. | Knight-Bruce, Bishop of Mashona- land, had been preaching on the fam- | ous and often much misunderstood text which bids us to turn the other cheek to him who has smitten us on the face. "During the course of the follow- ing week hé met a bullying Boer farmer, who grossly insulted him, {and then smacked him on the face. 'Now,' eried he to the Bishop, 'turn the other cheek and I'll smack that, too." The Bishop meekly did as he was told, and the Boer caught him an awful crack on that side of his i face also. Then he turned to go | away. * 'Wait a minute,' quietly remark- taking off his on the bough of a neighboring tree. 'There, now, that's the Bishop; he's done his duty. Here's Knight-Bruce in his shirtssleeves; come on.' "Half an hour later they took the Boer home on a wheelbarrow." The End of Murat. A century ago and a few weeks more, ended the romantic career of one of Napoleon's greatest generals, Joachim Murat. The son of an inn- keeper near Cahors, Murat was at first intended for the priesthood, but joined the army at the Revolution, and rose speedily to be the right- hand man of Napoleon. = A brilliant | soldier; he-added materially in most of Napoleon's successes, and was re- warded in 1806 by the Kingship of Naples. Murat made peace with the Allies on Napoleon's downfall, but on the return from Elba hastened to assist his old commander by an at- tack on Austria. He was defeated, became a fugitive, was captured, tried by court-martial, and shot at Pizzo, having crowded endless rom- ance and adventure into the compass Couldn't Go Too Far.
