The grand duchy of Luxemburg is bordered on the north and northeast by Rheinish' Prussia, on tho south by Alsace-Lorraine, and on the west by the Belgian province of Luxemburg. The grand duchy is presided over by the Grand Duchess Marie Ade laide, who was born in 1894. By the treaty of London of. 1867, Luxem burg was declared neutral . territory and its integrity and independence 'were guaranteed. At the outbreak of the presents war, however, the Germans passed through Luxemburg in their invasion of Belgium, not withstanding the protests of the duch ess. Luxemburg has an area of 998 square miles and a population of nearly 300,000. General Pershing recently visited Luxemburg and was cordially greet ed by the -Grand Duchess. More than $200,000,000 wrth of American property was seized by the German government.

Need To Be Thin, Scrawny or Sallow It's Only Because the Stomach Does not Furnish Enough Nourishment to the Body. If you are thin and want to be plump; if you have wrinkles in your face that you are not proud of; if the skin is sallow or subject to pim ples or blackheads, take Mi-o-na stom ach tablets for two weeks and notice the change.

It is not secreting sufficient of the nat ural digestive juices and in conse quence does not extarct from the food enough nutriticve matter to nourish every part of the body. When the stomach does not do its work properly, the nourishment in the food you eat is not extracted and passes throufgh the body without leaving any flesh building elements. Mi-o-na stomach taoiers are intend ed to build up the stomach so that it will act properly and extract from the food all elements necessary to form gocTct, solid flesh. If you are thin try two weeks' treatment of Mi-ona stomach tablets they are small, easily swallowed and have made many friends by their proven value. Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold on the guarantee of money back if they do not overcome indigestion, a cute or chronic, stop stomach distur bance, belching heartburns, sour stomach, and any after dinner dist ress.

E. F., in a letter to his sister, Mrs. Joseph N. Pittman, gives an interesting account of his experience aboard . the illfated Tus cania, which jailed from Hoboken, N. J., one year ago: "It was a terribly cold day, and a bunch of the boys had made it a custom to visit every night to spin yarns, and dabble in the topics of the day. So the bunch began the nightly session, and we were comfort ably lounging about on the beds when, suddenly and so unexpectedly a mighty crash that seemed to splin ter the ship and rock her from under neath us, and all was dark; My God, I'll never forget the awful few min utes that followed, the few minutes of unavoidable disorder of rushing to get out on the cleared decks. We were naturally anxious to get out and have a look at the fate awaiting us. But as each man hit the deck he immediately fell in at his post, and within six or seven minutes an unbroken line of men stood with their respective boat crews awaiting the life boats that had been formal ly allotted to them, and after this I can - not recall a single instance wherein a man failed to prove the American in him. Three boats had been successfully launched already from my post, and we were now wait ing for the fourth boat, oursto come over, but she never came. The da vits went wrong, and the jthing just wouldn't work. Apparently we were out of luck, and our despairing heart weren't greatly encouraged by the decided list the boat took to the star board which made it almost impos sible to walk the deck, more so to successfully launch another boat on the port, our side of the ship. Two torpedo boats had already pulled a way from the port side packed with boys, and since it was impossible now to get alongside on the port, the. few of us who were left there await ed bur inevitable fate in utter gloom I sat up on the rail of the ship, as reconciled to this impending fate as was possible for one to be, and be gan smoking cigarettes. Of course, we'd lost every hope so why not take the thing as it was? While I was sitting there, as I looked down into the water I saw a sight that night I pray I shall never have to witness a gain. It was a lad who had fallen into the ''water without his life belt. I was trying to pull him up with a piece of rope I had found, but it seemed to lack just a few inches of being long enough to reach him. The seas were coming very heavy by now for it seemed that the moment that we were struck a storm began, and each wave would break against the ship just enough to keep him beyond my reach. There were a good many others in the water at the time, but nearly all must have had their life bels, and were managing - to keep somewhat above the swell, but this lad had fought them so long he had almost given out. I tried and pray ed all at the same time for a light swell to bring him just alongside the boat, but no, the poor fellow seemed out of luck, and seemed to realize it, too, for he suddenly stop ped struggling, looked up once, (I can see him looking up now), and as he went down, God rest him; he shouted up to some of us, ."Well, boys, I'm going and I didn't have my chance, but tell mother how I went." I saw him no more, I was finally lucky enough to jump over on oneof the three torpedo - boats that stayed behind to the rescue, the other two, with all the transports, having gone "on, full steam ahead. This torpedo boat, the last boat to take men off the ship, (the boat hav ing listed so that it was dangerous to lay up to her any longer), laid off about a quarter of a mile to se,e the Tuscania go down. Well, she went alright. I'll testify to that fact. We then headed for a port, which prov ed to be seventy-five miles away, a part of the journey being made over the same route we had just made be fore being struck. At 2:00 A. M., we anchored in harbor at Buncrana, Ireland. We were then taken in by the good old Irish folk, who Were so warm and good to us, and so very solicitious concerning our every possible com fort. We: spent a week or so of such hospitality and cordiality as we had never been shown before. Finally we were ordered across to England.
