SAVE WOLSEYS WINE VAULT
British Government to Preserve
Liquor Cellar of the Cardinal
at Whitehall.

London.-Cardinal Wolsey's wine
cellar is to be undisturbed by the gov
ernment, when the additional offices
are built at Whitehall. For years
past the vault has served as a re-
freshment room for the clerks of the
public Offices in the United Services
institution. 1t is low chamber
When the stucco facing was cleared
from the brick the arms Of the great
cardinal, carved in stone, we're
brought to view. Although Wolsey
probably built Whitehall palace, York
place was standing 300 years before
his time and had been occupied in sue
cession by II archbishops of York.
The wine vault was situated imme-
diately behind the great hall When
Henry VIII seized the palace it be-
longed to the see of York, and was
a. place of sumptuous magnificence-
It's buildings and gardens covered
three acres, and from the stairs upon
the river Wolsey entered his barge
and was rowed to Esher after his dis
grace. Henry, as soon as he got the
palace, changed it's name to York
place. In 1898 fire burned through all
of the buildings above ground, and
subsequent excavations have de-
stroyed all below the surface except

ANCIENTS KNEW OF GLAZING
Proof That Early inhabitants of Mex
leo Used Process in the Manu-
facture of Pottery.

The discovery by Henry G. Mercer
of Daylestown, Pa, that the ancient
inhabitants of Mexico used a glazing
process in the manufacture of their
pottery has revolutionized the views
of ceramic experts at the University
Of Pennsylvania, and may lead, says
American Art News, to the discovery
of beds of clay suitable for use today.
Mr.. Mercer, who is an expert on TIL
ing and a former curator of the Uni
versity museum, during a recent study
of Mexican potteries at the museum,
had his attention called to the vari-
ance in workmanship in certain col
lections He promptly classified the
potteries as possessing two different
kinds of clay, and was surprised to
find that a distinct glaze was still
apparent.
The ancient Egyptians, says Mr.
Mercer, did not glaze their works, the
Chinese adopting this precaution at a
later date to make their vessels i'm
pervious to water. Civilization had
been established by this time, how
ever, and the use of the glazing art
by prehistoric Mexicans may unfold
interesting ceramics.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Coed Digestion Follows Right Food

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use of i'm
proper food.
Those who are still young and ro-
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, SO will the use of
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss of appetite and Indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of cause and effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago l had lot of trou-
bic from indigestion, caused by too
rich food l got so l was unable to
digest scarcely anything, and medi-
cines seemed useless.
"a friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising it highly and as
a last resort, I tried it. / am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
lieved me of my trouble, but built me
up and strengthened my digestive or
gans so that can now eat anything
desire. But l stick to Grape-Nuts."

FIGHT PLAGUE IN THE ORIENT
American Anti-TubercuIosis Society
Has Been Active in Movement for
Health Preservation.

tuberculosis is one of the most Sc
rious public health problems of the
Orient Active organizations to fight
this disease have been formed in
Japan, the Philippines, India and Aus
tralia A movement is on foot for
national organization in China and IN
a number of cities local work has
been started While no accurate fig
ures are available, those who are IN
position to know claim that consump-
ton takes annually from 100000 to
100000 lives in China alone. In In
dia the death rate is fully as high,
and on account of caste distinctions
and native superstitions, the problem
Of prevention and treatment is pecu-
liarly difficult. The Japanese govern
ment has taken hand officially IN
the control of tuberculosis, and is
cooperating with two wellorganized
private associations The death rate,
while very high, is lower than in
China ard India. Under the direction
of the United States public health
service a movement for the preven-
ton of tuberculosis in the Philippines
has also been organized
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis, with headquarters in New York,

Representative w. P. Borland Of
Missouri, member Of the house appro-

They touched port for an hour or
two, a couple of days out, and met an
American who had come down to get
rich off an investment in a pleasure
resort on the seashore. He had intro

such places, and the natives were com
ing in hordes to spend what little
money they had and try the thrilling
trips through ''enchanted isles,'' ARA

yards from the old part, and is quite
uninteresting. But the old portion,
being quite detached from the more
modern part, has quite a number of
these mud-walled dwellings, They ap-
pear to be hundreds of years old, and
are now getting so unsafe that they
are all condemned The walls of many
of them are nearly two feet thick,
solid mud, and, from the appearance
of the walls in some places, seem to
have been built of slabs or large
bricks" of mud. Some idea of the
thickness of the walls may be got
from view of the ruined dovecote
This is an extremely interesting build
Ing. I was told by the farmer at this
place that the entrance doorway to
the cote" was only about three feet
high, and all the interior walls are
honeycombed with nesting holes for
the birds, both compartments of the
building being alike inside. I under
stand that there used to be thatched
roof to this place, but it got into such
disrepair that new tiled roof had
to be supplied. Indeed in some cases,
in the mud-built cottages they have
had to be repaired from time to time,
and this has been done in most cases
with brickwork. The whole of the old
hamlet is well worth a visit, for it
has the appearance almost of an Early
Saxon group of dwellings. 1t seems
a pity these old places must eventual
ly disappear; but one of the villagers
there told me they were scarcely fit
for human habitation and they must
give place to modern houses.
