American lipstick, fur coats, football games and evening dresses are things of the past to the princess, who was to have been a "missionary" in the westernization of the Filipino Mohammedans.

The basis of the program of the state tuberculosis group is said to be the X-ray examination of healthy appearing persons. Early tuberculosis has not a single physical sign or symptom, according to a spokesman for the association. When tuberculosis brings' physical symptoms such as cough, tiredness, indigestion, loss of weight, or blood spitting, it is no longer in its early stages, it was stated. Tuberculosis that can be heard by the physician's stethescope is said to be at least moderately advanced, if not far advanced. Tuberculosis discovered early enough is usually cured in half the time necessary to arrest a far advanced case. November is a month for Thanksgiving in more ways than one, according to the Illinois Tuberculosis Association, since it was in November 1895, that Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen discovered the properties of a then unknown John Stilling, Gasoline, storage Linus Newman, Special police Alexander Lumber Co., Coal for City Hall City of McHenry, Special sewer fund John Engeln, Special police ....

He hanged himself in a wood near Budapest. A letter, found in his pocket* read: "My enormous size made me unhappy. Everywhere I went, I felt people looking at me with amusement. In the tramcar they made funny remarks. I was unhappy in love. I feel very, very, unimportant and | inferior. I had better die." The unhappy giant began h\s career as salesman in a store. He had to give it up because customers did not like to look up at a shop clerk. He had varidus occupations, mostly in factories. He had always much difficulty in finding a room, because normal beds were too short for him. Last year he fell in love with a pretty young girl, Mary Kiss. This name, in Hungarian, means "little;," Whenever Kovacs went out with the girl, he had to hear the remarks of the neighbors: "There goes Mary •Little' with her big friend." The girl became annoyed and refused to see him any more. Tornado Blows Marriage Certificate 37 Miles BLOOMINGTON, ILL,--When the tornado which whipped across central Illinois March 30 struck the Dent Bell farm near Deer Creek, it carried away everything--house, barn, corncrib, and furnishings Listed among the missing articles was the marriage certificate of Mr. and Mrs. Bell.

She's more interested in things and gets more out of life because she has to work for things. When we had five cars they didn't impress Cobina at all. But, this summer she got a new car and she's mad about it." It wasn't so long ago that they had apartments in New York and Paris, a mansion in Newport, a country house on Long Island, to say nothing of their cars and jewels.
