woman. Miss Anita Belleville has an
Office unlike any held by q woman in
any other part Of the world. She acts
as purveyor Of the correct time In Lon
don.
With her chronometer, which y one
Of the most perfect in the world and .
triumph of the watchmaker's skill, she
calls at the Greenwich observatory
once week and checks her instru-
ment by that official time. then carries
1t around to her clients. A great many
of her clients are watchmakerS. who
find her chronometer able to make
finer distinctions than any other In
strument known. Miss Belleville 10
found to be much more exact than the
electric clocks that are set nom .
central station. When tested q few
days ago at the observatory, her chro-
nometer was found to have varied only
one-tenth of second during whole
weeks time.
This instrument has been carried all
over London, but is apparently little
affected by travelling on train, bus and
electric tram, for 1t has never deviated
more than 30 seconds from Greenwich
time in week.
Miss Belleville has inherited her
unique occupation. Her father. Henry
Belleville. got permission from the as
tronomer royal about half century
ago to take the correct time from the
observatory, where he was employed
by chronometer makers. After his
death his wife carried on the business.
and now his daughter is keeping up
the work by bringing the time to
watchmakers all over London.

When the light was cut down TO one

grew better In full. sunlight than when

FIRST DICTATOR. OF MEXICO
Herman cortes, Who Conquered cour
try, 10 Undoubtedly Entitled to
tho Distinction.

The first man of European blood to
rule over Mexico was Herman Cortes,
who died at Seville, Spain, 1856 years
ago on December 2. Cortes landed
first on the little island Of Ulua, In the
harbor OF Vera Cruz, now the site OF
the famous prison for political Offend
ers. From this point. as his headquar-
tiers, with the aid of Indian tribes hos.
tile to the Tztecs, he carried on cam
paign that finally resulted In the COM
plete destruction of the great Aztec
empire. A brilliant military leader,
Cortes was also without the impedi-
ment of conscience, and made use
OF treachery where force failed to 40
complish his purposes. Emperor Mon
tezuma and the heroic Cuahtemoc per.
ished, and their subjects were made
the slaves Of their Spanish master and
forced to exploit the rich resources Of
the country for the enrichment Of their
conquerors. In 1922, three years after
Cortes first landed on Mexican soil,
the conquest was complete, and Cortes
was appointed as the first governor Of
New Spain, as Mexico was originally
called. He was soon recalled, and in
1886 New Spain was made viceroyal
ty, including all the Spanish posses
sions in north and central America
Sixty-two viceroys successfully gov.
erned Mexico, the last being O'Dono1u.
who withdrew in 1891, when Mexico
became free and independent.

Take Plenty of Time to Eat.

There is saying that rapid
eating is slow suicide" If you have
formed the habitof eating too rap
idly you are most likely suffering
from indigestion or constipation,
which will result eventually in Sc
rious illness unless corrected. Di-
gestion begins in the mouth, Food
should be thoroughly masticated
and insalivated. Then when you
have a fullness of the stomach or
feel dull and stupid after eating,
take one of Chamoerlain's tablets.
Many severe cases of stomach
trouble and constipation have been
cured by the use of these tablets.
They are easy to take and mos,
agreeable in effect. Sold by all deal
ers.
