OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepareeat
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for Later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength-building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which is a
food, a tonic and a medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.

Kindly inform me through the COL
umn the pronunciation and meaning of
the word Armageddon.
The revised version of the Bible gives
the spelling Harmagedon and is COM
monty regarded as the Greek equiva
| lent of the Hebrew Mar-megiddon, the
mountain district of Megiddo. 1t is
also suggested that the name is from
| Harmigdo, meaning his fruitful noun
tain. Another authority thinks that
some myth is referred to and that the
word is derived from some Babylonian
god.
1t is pronounced Ar-ma-ged-don, ac-
cented ON the third syllable. 1t is the
name given in the Bible to the great
plain of Palestine. The writer of the
Apocalypse saw this plain as the bat
tlefield on which the kings of the
earth and of the whole world gathered
for battle on the great day of God.
What military authority have the
kings of Wurttembere, Prussia and 9TH
err German Kingdoms?
There are four kingdoms in the con.
federacy-viz, Bavaria, capital Munich,
Prussia, capital Berlin; Saxony, capital
Dresden; Wurttemberg, capital Stutt-
CART. Prussia is by far the leading
state, and Kaiser Wilhelm holds the
double title of king of Prussia and
German emperor. He is the COM
mander in chief of the whole German
army, and in time of war he holds SUI
preme command. In time of peace the
kings of Bavaria, Saxony and Wurt-
temberg retain their sovereign rights
as heads of their respective armies,
but in time of war their military au-
thority is entirely merged in that Of
the emperor.
Has any foreign official of the United
States ever participated in a foreign
war?
The only case of the kind on record
was that of William Eaton. naval agent
to the Barbary states in 1904. He had
previously served as consul to Tunis
and had some views concerning mat
tiers in that part of the world. While
he was stationed at the Barbary states
he organized a movement among the
natives to restore a bashaw of Tripoli
who had been deposed and actively led
m, expedition and captured the city of
Derne. which he held for some time.
The fact that the United States was at
war with Tripoli at the time afforded
pretext for Eaton's Intervention, but
Il was an unprecedented act. Eaton's
military exploit in Tripoli brought him
substantial recognition, for the legisla-
ture of Massachusetts, of which state
he was a native, granted him 10000
acres of land.

Our THN -.
Query and} NA
Reply,
Department W

Did the United States pay any penn
sion to our soldiers prior to the civil
war of 1861? Will it pay any pension to
our regular army men if they become
! incapacitated or not during their term
of enlistment?
The granting of military pensions
dates from colonial times, the earliest
| recorded pension act being that Of
| Plymouth colony Of 1896, which pro-
| vided that any llan ma med in the mil
itary service of the colony should be
! comfortably maintained for life at pub
lie expense. The Continental congress
on Aug. 90, 177G, enacted a law giving
half pay for life to any officer, soldier
or sailor who had lost a limb or had
been otherwise incapacitated for earn
ing living. In 1892 the first general
pension law under the government was
enacted, by which law a pension of IS
a month was given to any private or
noncOmmissioned officer disabled in
service in the Continental army. In
1916 the full pension of private was
raised to So. A more liberal pension
law was enacted in 1882. By later
acts pensions were granted to all wild
ows of Revolutionary soldiers without
regard to time of marriage. If any
person in the United States army be-
comes incapacitated he can claim a
pension, otherwise not
Why is St. Petersburg called Petro-
grad? Why was it changed?
Shortly after the outbreak of the
present war the German form, Peters
burg, commonly miscalled st. Peters
burg, was officially changed by the
Russian government to the purely Rus
sian form Petrograd. Petersburg and
Petrograd mean the same-"Peters
strong place" or Peters fortress"
The change was made because of Rus
sian hostility to Germany and the I'M
willingness of the Russians to have
their capital city carry German name.
What is meant by the knickerbocker
set or Knickerbocker circle?
The meaning Of the phrase would de-
pend on it's connection or how it was
used. Knickerbocker was the name of
one of the early families of New York,
and Washington Irving popularized the
name by using it in his "Knickerbock.
er's History of New York and thus
connected it with some pleasant tradi.
lions. A popular magazine started sew
eral years later was called the Knick-
erbocker, and it's contributors included
some of the best known literary men
of that day. Thus the expression
Knickerbocker set or circle might re-
fer to the select circle of aristocratic
families in New York or it might refer
to the circle of contributors to the old
Knickerbocker Magazine. among whom
were Washington Irving, William Gull
len Bryant ("Thanatopsis" first appear
ed in that magazine), LOngfellow,
Parkman, the historian; Charles Fenno
the Clark brothers, Willis
Gaylord Clark and Lewis Gaylord
Clark, and other noted writer's of the
day.

Reports from German sources say that
the Kaiser has concluded to deprive Brit
ish royalty of the "Order of the Black
Eagle" Emperor Williams action is
thought to be in retaliation of the de-
cree of King George depriving German

No carriers for German princes, no Black
