 HEALTH IS GOOD

London, December 17.-Alarmlng rumors have been in circulation in London re- gently with regard to the health of King Edward but it was learned today that the condition of his majesty is not such as to cause uneasiness to the members of his household.
 Some weeks ago, while a guest at a. country house, his majesty had to forego talking on account of the resulting ir- ritation to his throat, but otherwise he appears to enjoy his usual health and shows no signs of the more serious aiI- ments that have been hinted at Follow ing the day he had to stop talking the hlng sat up andS played bridge and smoked his customary mild cigar
 When the King was at Piarritz certain winds resulted in a similar throat trou- ble and other persons at I,iarritz com plained of the same thing. The Kings ailment has been described by a member of his entourage as "Biarritz throat"

Modern Socrates.

In that genial form of gossiping
about current affairs that is something
|dignided with the name of philosophiz-
ing, Prof. Meade of the weather bu-
reau is most charming. Usually when
he meets a certain friend on the street
the conversation covers a wide scope
and is Illuminated by droll humor
that pervades the Meade school of
philosophy. $50 they did in Greece"
said Prof. Meade one day. so the
ancient philosophers of that highly IA
vored land settled all questions to
their own satisfaction, at least in
their daily communion of minds. The
philosophy of the Greeks is the source
of western philosophy. l suppose we
enjoy philosophy as we'll as the Greeks
did. From now l will call you Plato. .
To this the response was: Greater
art thou, professor Thy name is So
crates, who boasts of having Plato and
Aristotle as his most famous dis
ciples." Therefore if any citizen hear
one man call Prof. McAdie Socrates
or even "Old Soc," it is a fair guess
that the explanation of that modern
day Greek phenomenon in San Fran
cisco is explained fully herein.-San
Francisco Call
