his head and shoulders into the ex-

Ancient Advocates of Suffrage.

In casting about for original ideas
and suggestions for the many floats
which formed the principal feature of
their parade on the last day Of May,
the Just Government league members
discovered that even in Biblical times
there were advocates Of the suffrage
movement. AS a result, three Bible
celebrities were represented in the
pageant. They were Miriam, the sis.
ter Of Moses, and Deborah and Hulda,
the Israelite judges. These three were
gorgeously arrayed in garments be.
fitting their time and occupied one of
the most elaborate floats in the
pageant.
Madam L. Won F. Mountford, a resi-.
dent Of Jerusalem, lecturer on Bible
lands and an authority on the correct
dress for the ancient days, gave the
benefit Of her knowledge for the pur.
pose of making the Biblical float and
ii. lres true to legendary times.
Miriam, the sister of Moses, was pre-.
sented as the woman who led the
woman's parade across the Red sea.
The banner of Deborah showed her
as leader Of the armies of Israel and
Hulda was suggested as a teacher and
leader.-Baltimore American.

Strange, but Not Incredible.

Montenegro has a law ordaining that
any found valuable shall be placed
where the loser can find it. The fact
suggests an anecdote told of Grimal-
dis grandfather in Dickens life Of the
famous clown. In one of his visits to
Leadenhall market with nearly $4,000
in gold and silver upon him "he found
that his shoe had become unbuckled,
and, taking from his pocket the bag,
he placed it upon neighboring post,
and then proceeded to adjust the
buckle" Having afterward to pay for
purchase, he missed his bag of gold
and hurried back 20 the post where he
had buckled his shoe. although more
than three-quarters of an hour had
elapsed there it remained safe
and untouched on the top of a post in
the open street," That was in eight
eenth-century London.

COCOA AND CHOCOLATE
TWO READILY DlGESTED, HIGHLY
NoURISHING BEVERAGES.
Have Real Food Value and Should
Take the Place of Tea or Coffee
for Children - Few With
Whom They Disagree.

OF the several beverages used al
meals cocoa and chocolate are the two
that have food value. Cocoa is the
fruit of the cocoa tree, which grows In
abundance in the tropical countries.
Chocolate is made from cocoa beans
by the addition of sugar and some
starchy materials.
Cocoa grows in the form Of a bean
and several rows of these beans are
held together in single pod. When re-
moved from the pod the beans are al.
lowed to undergo process of fermen.

exposed to the sun to dry in order to
develop their fine flavor Roughly
speaking, cocoa contains % per cent
of protein matter-that Is, vegetable
meat; 20 per cent of fat and nearly 80
per cent. of starch.
Together with the sugar and milk
used in the preparation Of the bever.
age 1t becomes highly nutritious as
well as palatable drink, far superior to
either tea or coffee. Tea and coffee
are wholly devoid of all nutritive sub.
stances. They, are used entirely for
the flavor. and, moreover, they are
stimulants, and as such are frequently
harmful, while cocoa and chocolate
are practically free from any stimulat-
Ing effects. From what has been said
1t Is easy to see that though relatively
cocoa and chocolate are dearer than
tea or coffee. yet as foods they are
cheaper.

STRENUOUS IN HIS W00ING
Modern Lover Could Not Use the
Method Employed by William
the Conqueror.

A modern lover who resorted to
brute force to win his lady would soon
ind himself in the street, il not In the
police station. But fashions in pro-
posals have changed in 1000 years,
and when William the Conqueror set
out to make Matilda, daughter of the
count OF Flanders, the happiest of
maidens, he adopted measures that
were forcible, to say the least.
The suitor Matilda had she did not
want, and the man she wished to WOO
ner she could not get. The man she
did not want happened to be William,
duke OF Normandy, and he decided to
go to Bruges and conquer Matilda.
There were no national roads
through France in those days, and
William doubtless had a hard trip.
Perhaps Matilda noticed the mud on
his clothes when she came out of
church and found him waiting for her.
AT any rate, William descended from
his horse and, taking Matilda firmly by
the back Of the neck, rolled her over
and over in the mire of Bruges, plant
Ing well directed blows upon her royal
face and body with his other hand.
Life was elemental a thousand years
ago.
This strenuous love-making some
now appealed to Matilda. Perhaps II
was what she would have liked to do
to Brihtric, the gentleman she could
not get. who was only the English am.
bassador at her fathers court, and not
at all proper person to be snubbing
princess. So Matilda sent word to
her father that, sick in health and
doiorous In body" she had firmly re.
solved to marry no man but Duke
William.
Later, after William had conquered
England, he offered his queen the es.
tates OF any English nobleman she
might name. Matilda did not have to
think twice. She not only chose Brih.
tries estates, but she put him in pris.
on and kept him there all the rest OF
his life.

Fine Remedy
For Eczema
Also for Salt Rheun, Tet-
ter, Psoriasis, Lupus,
and All Skin
Affections.

All skin troubles should be attacked
from within by giving the blood circula-
tion a good daily bath. This Is accom-
plished with S. S. S., the best known and
most highly recommended blood purifier
ever discovered. Its action Is very rapid.
Its vegetable nature is such that It nat
urally goes right into the blood, saturates
the entire circulation, bathes the tissues
with an influence that enables the skin
to heal quickly. The action OF 8. 8. 3. Is
that Of an antidote, and this fact has
been demonstrated time and time again
In the most severe forms Of weeping
eczema
Its influence in the tissues where the
tiny arteries transfer the red blood for
the worn out blood to the veins Is quite
remarkable and goes on constantly with
every tick Of the clock-the beat OF tho
heart.
And new skin is thus caused to form
while the germs Of irritating influences
that cause eczema are scattered and their
harmful nature entirely suspended.
s. s. s. has a wonderful tonic influence
In the blood because it contains no
dope" Is not physic, is entirely free Of
any mineral drugs or any other drugs
except the remarkable medicinal effect Of
the pure vegetable products Of which 1t
Is made.
Few people realize how harmful are
many Of the strong, crude ointments that
used to be in favor before they learned
that s. s. s. is safe, speedy and sure.
Ask at any drug store for a bottle Of
s. s. s. Give It a good trial and you will
soon see decided improvement in any
form Of skin trouble. Write to The Swift
Specific Co., 100 Swift Bldg, Atlanta, Ca.
for special free advice on eczema and any
other form Of skin or blood trouble.
Do not allow anyone to palm Off cheap
substitute for S. S. S. You will bo
grievously disappointed II you do. There
IL nothing else "just as good" as s. 8. 9.
