COMPLICATION oi-"raiv FOLLOW INFLUENZA

Influenza is a dreaded disease because so many complications may follow it. Whatever may be the cause of it, certain blood cells are destroyed ,and it is these par- ticular blood cells which are our skizmishers against bacteria. That is why we so often hear of influenza patients developing pneumonia. Prolonged convalescence is neces- sary to enable the body to build up again its supply of white eorpuscles.

Queelfa Charities

To attempt a narration of Queen Mary's large and varied range of activity in the cause of charity in its widest sense would be weari- scme. Her example in thlsrespect has been an inspiration to the womanhood of the Empire ever since the day in 1893 when she was wedded in the little chapel at St. Jamess. If anyone intimately associated with her Majesty at the present day were asked to name the Queen's favorite pastime probably the answer, startling though it might appear, would be_-shqpplng_ Queen Mary's excursions in this respect are varied. Every time the British Iwistrlcs Fair is held she pays two or three visits to Olympia. and the White City with the most palpable relish, sampling the dis- plays here, there, and everywhere.

“May I make camp here?" said the newcomer. Cameron resented the breaking og his lonely vigil, but lflllectcd the law of the desert. The stranger slipped the pack from his burro and begun preparations for a meal.

“Find my mineral?" asked Cam- eron, and the stranger replied, and then the two talked a little, but tin visitor evidently preferred silence.

They parted in the morning but met again when Cameron was dig- ging for water and at the stranger's suggestion travelled together. Cam- eron found himself drown more and more to the man.

The athletic girl who is so prom- inent in the present era had hard- ly come into- existence when the Queen was young, and her Majesty has never displayed a. pronounced interest in sport of any kind. All the same she seem to enjoy an afternoon at Wimbledon watching the play on the Centrb Court. Probably it is a matter of social duty rather than of preference that she almost invariably accompanies the King to Epsom or tn Ascot.

In one respect the King and Queen are content to go their dif- feren/t ways. The King loves sea wafcr and.is never happier than when helping to sail Britannia. Tm Queen, on the other hand, is no sailor. when COW85 week comes round and the King is aboard Britannia the Queen occupies her time mostly in visiting friends on the dry land of the Islc of Wight.

"I'll make a row in in: saloon." ictumcd Dick bluntly. “I'll rush Rojas and his crowd. I'll—"

"Lord. noi" Thorne said, “you'll be knifed."
