Wants Damages for Lost Beauty.

Miss Anita M. Schumann* a San Francisco milliner, has filed suit for $25,000 damages against a drug company of that city. Two ugly, red blotches on her cheek will be listed as exhibits A and B when testimony is taken. According to her story two small blemishes appeared on her face, and she went to the drug store to get

an ointment for them. The druggist advised her, she says, to have them lanced. She finally consented. He assured her that the lance would not leave a mark. Having lanced her face In two places, he put over the scars a black dressing, which he said would stick till the face was healed and would then leave it smooth and white. But instead two unsightly blotches, each about the size of a quarter, were left. As Miss Schumann is a milliuer's model aud as these blotches are a distinct disadvantage to her in business, she is asking damages, which the company will fight.
