Royal Cooks

A strike of eocfes occurred in, tb« Royal Palace at Madrid recently, %n& Spain's Royal Family had {say* the London Daily Mail) to cook their own dinner. When the dire news became known quite a panic ensued among the upper servants, aud a lady wu sent out in haste to purchase a copy of the famous work of Brillat Sarario, in order to become, with its help, * substitute for the cooks on strike. The Royal Family treated the affair as a joke, but nevertheless on the first day of the strike they were reduced to severe strait?, Oold meat and preserves would have been their only portion but for" the skill ot th« King's sisters. These august ladies, who have been brought op by their mother, the Queen Regent, to a full practical knowledge of domestic work} and are skilled in all the branches of housewifery, oonoocted the one hoi dish of the day with their own fair hands. The cause ot the strike, which led to the cooks throwing down their caps and aprons, is said to be the strict system of keeping accounts in tilt kitchen, by which the cooks considered their dignity offended

Influenes Weaknesses

OT3RSD BY BILE BEANS

A SPEEDY RECOVERY EFFECTED BY THAT GREAT SPECIIMG

Tnfluenza, a complaint now affecting a large portion of the population of New Zealand, is one of the mostener* vating and troublesome diseases known. A sufferer from this trouble Mr AS Selwyn, of 4 Emily Street, Marrackville, N.B.W. has a few words to say with regard to his case and the positive cure he found for it in Bile Beans. ' For twenty years, 1 Mr Sel* wyn says,' I suffered from a variety of •»iim«>nts f , which thoroughly weakened my system and that may be imagined left me a fit subject for any epidemic that happened to be about. Not long since I was attacked most seterely with influenza. Such a hold did it get upon mo that I was confined to the home for over a week. I went through ail the stages of this miserable complaint, being assailed continually with a cold and headache, pains in various parts of my body and with a general disioclina tion for any kind of exertion. While confined to the house, I, tried various remedies, but all to no effect. My old complaiuss biliousnesa and indigestion, to which I owe my origin*! weakened state, now became more marked and I tell you nobody knows what I suffered. An attack of influenza is bad enough m% any time, but when coupled with other ailments, makes life itself unbearable. This was the state of things when I happened to have Bile Beans brought under my notice. I thought I would try them, not ior the influenza however, but for the other troubles 1 spoke of. Well sir,l must say I was surprised At the smoant of good the; did me. Not only did they completely cure me of bilious* ness and indigestion, but also of the influena*, Immediately after I began taking (hero, I commenced to expertonw relief, and in • surprising short tiooe I was completely cured. Since that tint I have not had the slightest rotarn of any of the complaints, and I ascribe my speedy and thorough cure to Bile Bea.ni for biliousness and I can heartily recom* mend them as a grand cure for influents. For all cases of biliousness, indigestion, constipation, debility, headache, djspep sis, influenza, colds, female ailments, piles, and in fact for any liver tad kidney troubles, take Bile Beans for biliousness. Obtainable from all chemists and storekeepers, aod as the price is low there are few homes that cannot afford to have a box on the shelf for an emergency.
