Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-01-03

To see with their own eyes the
places of history, world wonders and
worldwide activities and to have
them made more vivid to their minds
is the laudable and praiseworthy mo-
tive which prompts 100000 people
to travel with Lyman H. Howe each
season via his Travel Festival. In
recognition of this true appreciative
interest Mr.. Howe will take his
audience at the Illinois this evening
for a pictorial tour to the homes of
genius, shrines of art and sites of
epochmaking history in Rome,
Pisa, Florence and other Italian
centers. In Florence, that treasure
house of Italy where art reached its
attractive cities in the world, the
Palazzo Vecchio is visited-a palace
which has been standing in massive
grandeur over 500 years. A statue
of Dante is depicted which is so life
like that 1t seems as il the sculptor

ity bridge, spanning the Arno, may
be safely described as the only
structure of its kind in the world be-
cause hundreds of families make
their permanent residence on the
sides of the bridge. Then the his
toric edifice known as the Bargello
palace is inspected, but still more
/ impressive is the world-renown ca
thedral. The countless specimens of
architecture and the glorious dome
which crowns the edifice are all
shown in detail. The beauty of the
series is enhanced by magnificent
views of the bay of Naples. Then
the Industrial life of Italy is rep
resented by the famous marble
quarries of Carrara. Here, where
the purest marble of the world has
been quarried for centuries. some OF
the methods of handling are shown
in sharp contrast with what would
be the American way, although the

London.-There are still corners of
are practically unvisited by tourists
despite the revolution the motor car
has wrought. These quaint places, of
course, become fewer each year, but
every now and then the illustrated
newspapers of this and other coun-
tries print photographs of some
strange ancient town or Of some curl
Gus people that remain much as they
were 300 or 400 years ago.
Such a place is Citta Vecchia, the
ancient capital Of Malta, which has re-
NAMED almost untouched since the
knights of Malta ruled the island. An
other such town is Rothenburg, in Ba-
varia, which, although it is not quite
unknown to tourists, contains no mod
ern buildings, while it's streets are
still lighted by lanterns swung across
them on chains.
The Sphere this week contains an
account Of wedding in the Schwalm
valley, another spot that has been al
lowed to remain as it was before mod
ernity swept away the picturesqueness
from the greater part of the civilized
world. The valley is in western Ger
many, the Schwalm passing through
the beautifully situated little town of
Treysa, which is on the Main-Weser
railway.
The people of the Schwalm valley
belong to very robust and tenacious
race. They are very thrifty, extreme
1y contented with their manner of life,
and indefatigably Industrious, always
struggling to wrest a living by hard
work from the soil. In time Of war
the Schwalmer proved themselves
clever soldiers, capable of enduring
great fatigue and hardship. The
Schwalmer loves his home and if his
business has taken him into other
lands he always r9slrns to mis- native
place.
When a young man needs a wife he
always chooses her from among the
maidens Of the valley.
The evening before the wedding the
bridal pair go with some witnesses to
the village council and the clergyman,
the bride wearing for the last time her
girlish red cap, red corners, and red
ornaments.
On the wedding morning the bride
is awake early. At about a quarter to

An Ancient Citadel That Was Once
Used as a Place of Exc
cution.

Tabriz, Persia-The dominating fea-
ture in Tabriz is the citadel locally
known as the Ark. 1t has keep over
a hundred feet high of solid burnt
brick, which is said to have been
raised by Ali Shah Tehan.
The citadel itself is a great walled
structure on top of mound overlook
ing the town. The walls are loopholed
throughout and there is accommoda-
ton within for several thousand men.
A hundred legendary traditions attach
to this ancient monument. 1t is said
that the bricks from which it is fash
toned were all thrown to the masons
by an Ethiopian slave who was lib
Grated for the proWess he displayed.
In the past the method of execution in
Tabriz was to throw the condemned
from the summit of the ark.
The Russian colony is quite large in
Tabriz, and the consulate general is
big affair. The Russian bank also is
a very considerable institution, besides
which there are the engineering and
telephone institutions connected with
the Tabriz-Julfa road service, which is
a Russian-controlled highway.
Tabriz is also the point furthest
from Hindustan to which the Indian
army supplies a garrison. The British
consul general at TabriZ has a con-
sular guard of a non-commissioned Of
ficer and ten sowars of the Indian cav
airy.

trimmed with twenty-five rows of red,
gray and silver ribbons, while the
front is adorned with rosemary, glass
balls and flowers. The bride also
wears an elaborate stomacher en-
broidered in gold and silver. The
bridal outfit includes fifteen petticoats,
a cloth skirt, satin pinafore, orna-
ments, stockings, gold embroidered
garters, silk handkerchief and long
gloves For two years of married life
the bride is permitted to wear lilac
and green, but after that she dresses
entirely in black.
To the handwriting Schwalmer folk
a wedding is the brightest and gayest
event of their lives. The bridegroom
in his long-skirted coat adorned with
the wedding insignia has an imposing
appearance.
The guests and relations having
greeted the young pair with a speech,
the wedding procession begins. The
clergyman after addressing the bridal
pair blesses them, and they seal their
marriage by joining hands. No rings
are exchanged.
On returning to the wedding house
the husband drinks to his bride. Then
she pledges him, throwing away the
glass afterward so that the fortune OF
the house may be secure. Congratula-
lions follow, and then the bridegroom
leads his bride into his fathers house.
At the wedding feast the bridal pair
eat from the same plate and drink
from one glass. The food consists of
soup, beef and roast sausage. When
coffee is served the bride appears for
the first time in her dress of green
and lilac.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

"When my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, it came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
81 consulted our physician and
found she was SUFFERING from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
i used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then I
wrote for q book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticurc Soap and ONT
ment at the drug store. I did as I
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she waC one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

GOLD CROWN ON PIGS TOOTH
Cartridge She'll Through Long Use
Had Come to Have Brightness
of the Precious Metal.

st. Louis.-William Wellington, a
farmer of Bridgeton, ST. Louis county,
several days ago discovered that one
of his Ffattenin' hogs had what ap-
peared to be a gold crowned tooth.
The yellow metal cleaned every time
the hog opened its mouth. The farmer
was puzzled.
He butchered the animal and before
he quartered it he examined the tooth.
He found the animal had in some way
got a 22-caliber brass shell around the
tooth. Frightened by long use and
worn to fit the tooth, the shell resem-
bled a perfect gold dentists crown.
The tooth was sent to the dental de.
partment of Washington university.

Hay that is free from weeds Is al

A good horse is a valuable animal
and deserves and should have the best

Young calves are necessarily rath-
er filthy in their habits and never do

Incubators and brooders may be

Great care should be taken in Sc

Onion seed should be tested for

A good way of sowing some hardy

AS a general thing it is the best
plan to feed hay and other roughage

Cold milk never separates as com.

Don't burn up any kind of coarse

In shoeing, the foot should only

One hears a great deal about the
cost of feed this winter, but this cost
is not so important as is the size of
profits realized in feeding this high
priced feed.
No branch of husbandry now pur-
sued offers better opportunities for
profits for the amount of money in
vested and the time expended than
the production of hogs.
Good quality wheat straw, which is
neither moldy nor dusty, will make a
fair roughage for horses, and when
fed in moderate amounts should not
prove injurious in any way.
The men who suffer least during
the dry season are the dairy farmers.
They always have an income, for
there is always some crop that can
be fed profitably to the COWS.
The skimmilk calf becomes accus-
toned to eating grain and hay early
