-f r, LONDON FOfi RETURNS ^7v, REAL COCKNEY'APPY H 'London, Dec. 16.The "London particular," the. blinding, choking, solid, yellow tog, the Londoners pride and the visitor's despair, has come back into its own. Londons' fog 4s,not the,!soft,, gray mist that 6allWJ FWDAXEVENINO. DECEMBER 16,1921^ ^fl^^^^^, moist, o,ve$ a. Ameri can city in wet ^ofcfier^it m^y be absolutely dry $ as "W#t as rain itself. It may envelope tjW 'London, a blanket that recedes 'unwillingly step by step as a pedestrian advances. It may envelope one' br a dszen sections, when-it may be se^n in the distanqe, and is stepped into 4s definitely as one steps into a doorway, "Whatever the "real, "London par ticular's" character, it is a real fog and when it comes trains stop or slow to a nervous crawl and street traffic is all but halted. The London fog comes with the au tumn and early winter, when fires are lighted in two million fireplaces and tne smoke is unable to penetrate the clouds. For several years, there, had not been' much fog last year there was almost none. This year it is back, anad the Londoner, cursing it when it makes him Bn liour late for work, secretly hugs it to hfe breast. ecould't help it if he wanted to and gloats over it as part of his heri tage,. No one knows where it passed its vacation. Old inhabitants will not admit the fog is as bad] js-1 it tased to be. We265,115 cite the wel^authenticated incident when one of the olc( horse-drawn om-- nibuses rattled into the fog Under the archway of bridge, full of-pas sengers, and, was never seen again. They recall when it was futile for a cabman to lead his horse along the curbstones with the aid of a lantern, because he wouldn't'iwwe been able to see the lantenr ligjht. Possibly the fog is n,ot whatf jfc used to be probably it never was, But it hurts the eyes* chokes the throat and makes a- trip outdoors a journey into the unknown. It is unescapable. It gets into rooms through cracks "i LUN JOHNSON IS CONGRATULATED Popular Fraternal Order Man la Felicitated on Remarkable RecoveryPraises Tanlac "There's certainly something in, Tanlac that goes right to the bottom of a fellow's troubles, ~tor when I got it I couldn't do a bit of work, but I've picked up over twenty pounds in weight now and feel just as well as I ever did in my life," was the state ment made by Lun Johnson, a promi nent fraternal order man, residing at 129 West Third Si, St. Paul, Minn.^ "Two years ago my health com menced to break down, and at the rate I ^a losing weight and strength I think*tny time would surely have coine before now if I hadn't got Tanlac. My appetite dwindled to a mere nothing, and I had such a time with my stom ach that what little I did eat seem ed to do me as much harm as good. My kidneys and bladder bothered me a lot, and I had an awful pain in my back. I might just as well been a cripple for all the work I Was able to do, and I figured that my case was in curable and almost gave up all hope of ever being a well man again. "But Tanlac has fixed me up in the best of health and people are con stantly asking me what it i% that has caused such W improvement Jn my condition. My appetite is, scPgoofl nobody can get ahead of me when it comes to eating, and my stomach nev er gives me a particle of trouble.! My kidneys and bladder are normal, and my back is as. strong as it ever was. I'm so grateful for what Tanlac has done for me that I never miss an op portunity to say a good word for the medicine." Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, and leading drug gists everywhere.Advertisement. x, mtiiniMi miiim iiimin i IIIHIIHIU itmtmiimmw "J" i urn imiMimiiwiinwHHlww IHHItt 11 if-.

It is like a trip to the spirit world to get on top of a bus in a half-bad fopnot think enough to half the apBxteently reckless, but always safe bus-driver and watch passing yehicles lpom up out of the fog five yards away in the narrow^ tortuous streets, and at night t6 emerge suddenly into the golden giow^of the usually glaring electric ally lighted signs that now almost en circle Piccadilly Circus. But though the fog is, in a way, unpleasant, and leaves its grimy marks on skin and clothes, it is as much a part of London as is the Lon don J&rWge.
