ScOTLAND's PALLADIUM.
A Famous Piece of Artillery Is Ancient
Mons MEG.

Mons Meg.
In the most honorable location in the
Argyll battery of Edinburgh castle is
huge piece of ancient artillery which is
known as Mons Meg This old fash
toned piece of ordnance is held in the
highest esteem by the Scottish people;
in fact, it holds position in their
hearts similar TO our feelings toward
our own Liberty bell,
Mons Meg was made at Mons, Bel
GUM, about the year 1903, by order of
James ", and was named Meg in
honor of his wife, Margaret Tudor the
daughter of Henry VII. Its great bulk
and weight rendered ii almost worth
less in those days of hand to hand con-
dicts. However, it was used on special
occasions TO help celebrate national
events. In the reports of the financial
transactions of the times may be
found charges for grease for Meg's
mouth" (this was used to increase the
loudness of the report, ribbons to deck
her carriage and pipes to be played
before her when accompanying the
Scottish army on an expedition. After
the union in 1907 the people feared
that the "odious surrender of national
independence" would be consummatcd
by the removal of Mons Meg to Eng
land. In 1857 the piece was removed

Scotland in 1928, ito quiet the people"
Although only a mere mass of rusty
iron, it is revered by the people today
and is always decorated with thistle

place of honor but recently it was de-

1t to the shock Of carriage. and now 1t

VIRTUE OF AN APPLE.
At One Time the Fruit Was Called the
food of the Gods"


Food of the Gods"
The apple has become so familiar az
the commonest Of all fruits that it's
value AS mans greatest friend in the
vegetable kingdom may not he fully
realized. 1t was called the food of
the gods" because it was believed to be
the magic renewer of youth to which
the gods reSoried when they felt them
selves growing old aud feeble
There have been many mystic tradi
lions about the apple, which has been
credited with varied potency. 1t is the
healing fruit of the Arabian tales.
Latin chronicles and Institutes and car
~ English poems contain many refer
ences to it. Scientific ANALYSIS of late
years has justified all the ancient glori-
fcation of this fruit which has been
found to contain albumen, sugar gum,
maic acid, gallo acid, fiber, water and
phosphorus.
Malic acid of apples neutralzes the
excess of chalky matter caused by too
much meat and thereby helps to keep
us young. Apples are good for the
complexion, as their acids drive out the
noxious matters which cause skin
eruptions. They are good for the brain,
which those same noxious matters, if
retained, render sluggish. The acids
of the apple diminish the acidity of the
stomach that comes with some forms
of Indigestion.
The phosphorus, of which apples con
tain larger per cent than any other
fruit or vegetable. renews the essential
matter Of the brain and spinal column.
