Sadd; treasurer, Fred A. Sanderson
corresponding secretary, Frank P.

An Ancient Institution, Doubtless OF
Jewish Origin.
We must doubtless look to the Jews
for the origin of godfathers and god
mothers. The use of them in the primi-
tive church is so early that it is not
easy to fix time for their beginning.
Some Of the most ancient fathers make
mention Of them, and through all the
successive ages afterward we find the
use of them continued without any in
terruption. BY constitution of Ed
mund, archbishop of Canterbury, 1886
and in synod held at Worcester,
1910, a provision was made that there
should be for every male child two
godfathers and one gOdmOther and for
every female one godfather and two
godmothers. King Henry VIII, refer
ring to the Princess Elizabeth, says:
My lord of Canterbury.
1 have a suit which you must not deny
That is, fair young maid that yet wants
baptism.
You must be godfather and answer for
her.
Henry VIII.," Act s. Scene 3.
A constitution of 1881 makes provi-
sion for Christian name being
changed at confirmation. This is prac-
tically a remaining of the child. The
manner in which it was done was for
the bishop to use the name in the invO-
cation and afterward for him to sign a
certificate that he had so confirmed a
person by such new name. 1t is posi-
BILE that this practice might have been
in Shakespeare's mind when he wrote:
Cali me but love, and I'll be new baptized
Henceforth ] never will be Romeo.

In some of the older and narrower
streets and alleys of London may be
seen at each end two upright posts. Al
first it might be supposed that they
served no more useful purpose than
affOrding material for children to
swing on. But they are used to indi.
cate that the streets which are guard
ed by the posts are closed to wheeled
traffic. Some of the thoroughfares in
the poorer parts Of London are so mar,
row that large vehicle would do seri.
Gus damage if it were driven along
them, and as they are generally short

Letter From Arkansas.

CLIO, ARK, February 10, 1905.
Ed. Register In speech de-
livered before the St. Andrew So
ciety November 80, 1895, John P.
Altgeld said: "These new con-
ditions are not ephemeral, they
are permanent in their character.
First, because it will not be pos
sible to dissolve the corporations
and concentrations of this country
and reduce matters to their former
condition. And second, because
these great combinations and con-
centrations in themselves are bene-
fetal. They can cheaper pro-
duction, and in many ways give
to the world degree of comfort
and pleasure that would not be
possible under former conditions.
This is especially true as relates
to transportation, telegraphing,
etc. The question is how to give
the public it's share of this bene-
fit, or if this cannot be done, then
how to protect the public against
extortion. What then shall we
substitute for competition? We
have tried by means Of legislation
and by means Of the courts to stem
this tide; to arrest this mighty
tendency, and it has been in vain.
We have been trying to kick back
the waters with our feet and they
have surrounded us and are roll
ing on apparently unconscious of
our effort"

nounced impossible. If the Senate

so much physical and mental ag-
ony, or which so successfully de-
fies medical aid. All danger from
the grip, however, may be avoided
by the prompt use of Chamber

used this remedy, not one case has
ever been reported that has result

recovered. For sale by Arcadia

School Children's Dyspepsia.

The common form of dyspepsia,

children, is often due to improper

cause, it is also important to cure
the disordered conditions of stom-
ach and bowels. This can be done
by no medicine so safely and
surely as by DR.. Caldwell's Qaxa-
