How to Stop Drinking.

1t was formerly customary for the
habitual drinker to take the pledge
regularly, sometimes once year, and
sometimes in every fit of remorse that
followed his debauches, and then
break it.
But now it is gradually dawning on
the world that pledges do not stop
drunkenness. The nervous system of
the habitual drinker is diseased and he
must have treatment that will cure
this condition. Orrine is sold under a
positive guarantee to cure the drink
habit or the money will be refunded.

IHE: KINGS
EUNERAL
BEGAN TODAY WITH REMOVAL
OF COFFIN FROM BUCKINGHAM
PALACE TO WESTMINSTER
HALL-REMAlNS LIE IN STATE.
(Herald Specially

London, May 1.-THE imposing
ceremonies to be associated with the
funeral of King Edward began today
with the removal of the coffin from
Buckingham Palace to Westminster
Hall, where the remains are to lie in
state until the day of the funeral.
Immense crowds of people with barred
heads lined the streets through which
the body of the late monarch was
borne to Westminster. Those who
were privileged to witness the start
ing of the procession from inside the
palace grounds arrived early and 81
lently took up the positions allotted to
them. There was an entire absence
of hustle, and decorum prevailed ev-
erywhere. Inside the palace the royal
mourners were joining in the last
sacred service. and this completed,
the casket was prepared for removal
to the gun carriage in waiting out
side. One of the last acts of the
Queen Mother was to place in the J
coffin a little emblem of love in the
shape of bunch of lilies of the valley.

Westminster Hall, where the late
kings remains will lie in state during
the next two days, is the only section
remaining of the great Westminster
Palace, which was destroyed by fire in
1884, and is now used as a vestibule
to the house of parliament. The hall
was begun by William Rufus in 1897,
and was destroyed by fire in 1891. In
it's present form it is the work of
Richard II, who had the walls but
tressed and the wooden roof added in
1898. The ceiling is one of the most
remarkable specimens of timber arhi-
lecture in existence, both as regards
beauty and constructive skill. The hall
has been the scene of many stirring
events, and no other hall in all Eng
land is so rich in historical associa-
tions. Here it is that Oliver Crom-
well took the oath as lord protector
of England, and here, too, was held
the great coronation dinner, celebrat-
ing the coronation of George w., The
hall was for many years the center of
the English law courts, and it was
also used for great festivals, the lord
mayors being sworn into office here,
and for the last time in 1882.

WATCH FOR
THECOME1
PASSING OF HALLEY'S COMET
BETWEEN THE SUN AND THE
EARTH is AWAITED WITH UN-
UNUSUAL INTEREST AND FEAR.
tHerald Specially

Washington, D. c., May 1.-THE
passing, tomorrow, of Halley's comet
between the sun and the earth is an
event awaited with unusual interest
not alone by astronomers in all parts
of the world, but by the lay folk as
we'll While the men behind the tel
escapes look forward to the transit of
the comet merely with the intense in
terest evoked by any rare and scien-
tifically important phenomenon in the
sphere of astronomy, the interest of
the "unscientific" masses is not alto
gether free from more or less fear of
the possible consequences of the COM
ing event. The authoritative statement
that on May Is the earth would pass
through the tail of the comet, to-
gether with the fact that the divergent
theories of the astronomers concern
fused the masses and led them to
lend a certain amount of credence to
the most absurd and alarming vagaries
of ignorant and superstituious sensa-
tionalists, is responsible for the dread
with which some persons anticipate to-
morrow's phenomenon
Halley's comet, the transit of which
will be observed tomorrow, moves in
an eccentric and elliptical orbit |
fha +r-a,
speed with which he comet travels it |
requires about seventy-five years to
complete its course. This is not the |
first time that Halley's comet has
been visible to the inhabitants of the
earth but, what makes its visit this
year of special interest to astronomi-
cal science is the fact that tomorrow
the erratic wanderer of the skies will
present itself under conditions which

the earth and it will be possible to
make observations that may give a
clue to the composition of the comet

was passed by the comet some time
ago, the second will be reached in a
few days. Having passed its peri
helion the comet is now approaching
the earth's orbit at speed of about
l 600 miles a minute. Tomorrow it Il

will reach not only the point of great,
est proximity to the earth but also a
position which brings it in direct line
with the earth and the sun. AS the
comets tail, whatever may be its
composition, is pointing away from
the sun, it is quite probable that the
earth will pass through the rarified
portions of it. Astronomers and
physicists have advanced many diver
gent theories as to the effect which
the passing through the comets tail
may have upon the earth, but there is
absolutely no reason to expect more
than perhaps some slight modification
of the atmospheric conditions, as a
result of which the sun, at the time
of the comets transit, may appear
yelled in mist or haze of a reddish
or yellowish tinge. Twice before this,
in comparatively recent times, the
earth passed through the tails of
comets and the only phenomenon
which indicated that fact was SINH
lar haze. through which the sun ap-
peared of a. reddish tinge
Halley's comet was discovered by
Edmund HALEY, an English astrono-
mer (born 1856 and died 1742), in

After leaving college he spent two

would again be visible in 1858, which
proved to be correct. In recognition
of his valuable work in the field of as
tronomy HALEY was appointed astrono-
mer royal in 1921, which position he
held to his death. His comet has been
observed repeatedly since then, but

provided in the amendment to be
voted on, is to constitute per-
manent common road fund to bear
the expenses of constructing the
roads. One of the chief objections
to this tax is that it is taken out of
the parish and is used wherever
the engineers determine, and no
parish will get the benefit of the
tax or fund thus raised unless the
citizens raise a given amount to
be agreed upon by the engineers,
which added to the tax, will be
used to construct a road located
by this board. The theory is to
connect the court house towns of
the various parishes with graded
model highway, but each parish,
as above stated, must raise an
amount in addition to the one
fourth mill tax, which is to be
agreed on by the engineers who
are also to locate this road. The
plan seems impractical to US. 1t is
to build only one highway through
each parish which no doubt will
cost this parish much more than
the present cost Of road construc-
