Much Speculation as to Who
the Next Queen of Great
Britain is to Be.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
LONDON, Dec. 16.-Specualtion as
10 royal marriages. always a Lively
topic OF gossip. has been increased
since the war began. for the field of
possibilities so far as the royal houses
OF Great Britain and Russia are con-
cerned has been narrowed by the war.
Thoughts Of marriage between the
princes or the princess In Buckingham
palace with anybody Of Hohcuzollern
associations are now out of the cues
ton. Meanwhile the Prince Of Wales
is IN his twenty-second year, his broth
er Albert will be twenty on Deem
Der IA, and the Princess Victoria
passed her eighteenth birthday in
April last The three younger broth
ers range from fifteen to ten years of
age so their brides need not cause their
royal parents any concern yet awhile.
The choice OF the next queen of
Great Britain is Of such Importance
that even this great war can not OBJ
scure the popular interest in the Sc
lection of wife for the Prince OF
Wales. and 1t is recalled that while he
IL 70 now. his father was married TO
the Princess of Teck when he was eS
years old and his grandfather married
Queen Alexandria when he was not as
old as the prince is now. The excep-
tonally late age at which King George
was married may in part have been
due to the fact that the heir 10 the
throne. the Duke OF Clarence, did not
die until 1892. and his brother. the
present king, was married the next
year.
That there are FIVE boys in the royal
family here is fact that widens tho

THINK BENAREs OLDEST CITY
Sacred Spot to HIndus, Its Claim 10
Supported by Most Students Of
Indian History.

Which Is the Oldest city In India?
An attempt has been made to identify
the Purana Kila at Delhi as built
on the site on which was situated the
Indraput, mentioned in the Mahab-
harata as the capital of the five Pan
davas. That is quite possible, but in
any case Indraput disappeared long
ago. Current Indian beliefs is that
as city Benares is absolutely the
oldest in India. So much we do know
from history that though in past CEN
turtles it rivaled Delhi in wealth and
magnificence, the conquerors left it
alone. There has never been sack
of Benares, and this Is the more curl
GUS because it stands on one of the
highways OF commerce in India. It's
position on the Ganges would natur-
ally make it big center. We know
that to Hindus, Benares or Kasi, is
the most sacred spot on earth, and
that those who die there are forgiven
all their sins. It is to the special in.
terposition Of Providence that Hin
dus ascribe the freedom Of. Benares
from the sackings and devastation
that have been the fate of other great
Indian cities. In any case Benares
ought to offer much good to any In
dian antiquary. The archaeological
department has, of course, to leave 1t
alone, because 1t Is still the center
of living Hinduism.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti.

Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull. faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect By asking at
any drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and

large bottle of this ,old.time recipe,

simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druf, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every;
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens SO naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been
applied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking

the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv. +

MONEY MOST WISELY SPENT
Millions Expended in the Campaign.
Against Tuberculosis Will Surely Ri
Have Its Effect, &%

More than $40, 500 900 was spent last
year in the campaign against tubercu-
losis| in the United States. OF this
sum 66.S per cent was derived from
public funds, either. federal. state,
county or municipal, and the remain
der was contributed by private philan-
throphy. These are some Of the in.
teresting figures contained in the an
nual statistical statement of the Ma:
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis, made pub
lie recently. The statement is based
largely on actual reports received
from antituberculosis h agencies To-
Gated throughout the country, but
where reports are not available the
figures have been estimated.
Institutional care and treatment of
consumptives in hospitals and sana.
toria makes up the largest share Of
the total expenditure. More than ST.
100000 was spent for this purpose,
with an additional $925,000 for spe-
cial treatment of tuberculosis insane
and prisoners. These figures include
not only the cost of maintenance, but
In some instances the cost Of construc-
ton of institutions. Antituberculosis
associations spent the next largest
sum. amounting to a little over $780,,
900. Care Of patients in dispensaries
and by visiting nurses cost almost as
much, approximately $ssO.oOO, The
growth Of the; open.air-school move
Eent is shown In the fact that last
year more than 100000 was spent for
this purpose, as against $40, 900 ex-
pended five. years ago. State and
city boards of health spent 100000
directly on tuberculosis work.
