THE WELSH ELSTEDDFOD

Tho National Eisteddfcd Of Wales. celebrated
every autumn, is of the most picturesque fes
tvals remaining in this commercial age. The
Geutlewoman remarks especially the growing
part taken by women

proclaim the bards held In Kensington Gar
dens in the early morning enc looked better

erald green, or more graceful than the countess

robes.
And word on the Gorsedd itself On
the Logan Stone the Arch-Druid Dyfed was at
tended by all his bards some In white robes and
others In blue, and the Ovates in green. The
twelve chief bards stood ~ their sacred unhewn
stones. Ancient prayers were recited. The huge
Brythouc sword Of rsace was drawn and
sheathed three times with the question by the
ArchDruid. "A hes Hedcwch? ?" to which all pres
ent responded by shout "Heddwchl" ("Peace")
After each shout OF "Heddwch!" the sword
sheathed and the draught of mead from the
"Hrlas" horn drunk by the Arch-Druid. Then
followed the initiation Of new members into the
Gorsedd and short Engiynon (alliterative stan

BABYS SCALP CRUSTED

Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on. the
head and we had the best doctqAS to
treat her. but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when We
read OF the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got cake of Cuticura Soap. O
box Of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie Of Cuticura Resolvert, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
irst dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely ans
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Thet
she began to improve rapidly and In
two weeks the scale came off hNr
head and new hair began to grow. Ia
a very short time she was well. She Is
now sixteen years Of age and a pic
ture Of health. We used the Cuti-
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatment after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M.

When the tower fell, of the five bells only the
largest was not broken; the other four have been
replaced and were presented to his beloved Ven
fee by Pope Plus X. The lions Of St Mark which
originally occupied the centers of the north and

the French occupation, are to be replaced.
The tower has strangely hard and new ap
pearance against the soft, time meowed facade
OF the church Of ST. Mark with its wild horses
and curious Orental-looking domes, and seems al
most incongruous the large steamboats, and
motor launches which have challenged the
supremacy of the graceful gondola on Venetian

is A HAVEN FOR AMERICANS
Island Of Porto Rico Prophesied as 4
Future Mecca for Our Wealthy
Citizens.

MISUNDERSTANDING the next so
years Porto Rico will be occupied ex-
clusively by American millionaires, ac-
cordipg to the opinion of Alfred Ze-
vas. a resident of San Juan, who says
that Americans already are awaken
ing to the picturesqleness of the
island, its climatic inducements, and
its generally healthy conditions.
"The weather. people of America
arc gradually realizing what great
acquisition the island is to the United
States. Americans are looking for
places Of beauty and rest. They are
seeking places where they can get
away from the ordinary, and for this
reason I say" continued Mr.. Zeyas,
Porto Rico will eventually be des'g-
mated as the mecca cf Americas rich.
Here they can motor through miles
OF mountains. where the scenery
equals that Of ary part OF Switzer-
land. The country IS threaded with
miles OF good roads. the majority OF
which are macadamized.
"When the automobilist reaches
cex?in. attitudes in the center of Por-
70 Rico he can look to all sides or
him and view the sea Not only Is
the scenery of the island ideal, but
the climate is that OF perpetual spring.
Not once in the last decade have we
experienced storm which has
caused material damage. This mod.
crate temperature, coupled with the
salt breezes, makes the climate exu-
berating. American tourists already
are visiting Porto Rico in large num-
bers during the winter months"
