long I decided TO consult a specialist
in stomach diseases. Instead of pre-
scribing drugs, he put us both on
Grape-Nuts and we began to improve
Immediately.
1T was the key to a new life. I
found we had been eating too much
heavy food which We could not digest.

An lntelIIuent Child.

A small boy was playing with the

mother chided him.
You mustn't play with the scissors
dear. I know a little boy like you who
was playing with a pair of scissors
just like that pair, and he put them in
his eye and put his eye out, and he
could never see anything after that.

KnighthOod on wans.


I As this is the season Of tournaments
and gallant knights are preparing to en-
ter the fray for the honors Of the day
something Of the history in by-gone
days might be interesting, so we sug.
gest that some Of the young manhood
Of Southern Maryland take a glance at
the following from an exchange:
Have the days ofchivalry, the system
Of knighthood, passed in Charles county
To witness tournamentin the county
in this day Of hustle and hustle for the
coin would make the gallant knights of
yore, who rode for the GROWING Of the
fair maids, turn in their graves.
In the days Of knighthood lives were
risksd for the honor Of winning fair
woman. and even when tournaments
were fr.t started in the county and the
knights had only to pierce rings for the
honor Of crowuing the maid Of theii
choice the fair sex were placed first in
the list of honors.
Now it is not SO. Churches, organiza-
lions and individuals wishing to hold
tournaments are obliged to offer large
purses to secure in their list Of knights
those who will make a good showing.
To the knights OF the present the
GROWING Of thequeen Of loveand beauty
and her maids is only a secondary con.
sideration, and, instead of the knight
carrying off the largest number Of rings
to his credit, browning the fair queen o.
his choice, he is content with pocketine
a S.. $40 or $50 cash prize, or saddle
bride, lap robe or whatever it might be
Even when the privilege of browning
the queen and her maids goes with the
prizes the privilege is often looked on
with scoru by Sir knight of today, and
he will readily give the privilege to any
If his friends or even a stranger.
IN the meantime. what is the thought
Of the fair msiden-she who, with
blushing cheeks and sparkling eyes,
watches with intent interest as each
knight rides through the arches and at
the close of the tilt sees the first four
knights walk up to the judges stand,
receive money reward, pocket it and
sneak through the crowd of spectators
to hook up their horses and drive off for
the next tournament with only one
thought ia mind, and that of having the
same luck in the next tilt?
Members of the bar, doctors and
prominent men of the county who have
been for years delivering the charges to
the knights and the coronation addresses
at the tournaments with flowing ae-
counts Of the ehivalry of the days of
knighthood and imploring the knights
before them to even Guido the knights
of old and calling their attention to the
fairest Of the land, have talked in vain.
The passing of chivalry has had the
effect in the county of driving the
knights from the tournaments in the
rural districts of the county to the road
house tournaments near the city. where
not only the knights ride for money
prizes, but the proprietors gain finan
cially. To compete with the high
standard Of prizes set by the roadhonse.
is a great drawback to the old-fashionet
tournament, where Sir Knight left his
home, and, driving to the home of tbs
lady Of his choice. took her to the tour
nament, rode to please her, dined' will
her and then danced with her until tn,
music ceased.n
