THE ROYAL
 EXCHANGE

' The first great exchange in England was founded by Sir Thomas Gresham, who died in London 337 years ago to- day, leaving behind him as lasting memorial the Royal Exchange The original building constructed by Gres- ham in 1870, and dedicated by Queen Elizabeth, who conferred the title of Royal upon it, was destroyed by the great fire of 1866. Charles II laid the foundation of the next edifice, which was also burned in 1838> The new Royal Exchange was opened in 1844. The materials for Gresham s building were all imported from Flan- ders, and the architect also hailed from that country, while the Bourse at Antwerp served as model. The open court where the merchants and traders gathered presented strange spectacle, as it was a gathering place of the nations, and most of the mer- chants clung to the picturesque garb of their own countries. The stalls in the galleries around the court were occupied by dealers in various kinds of wares, including apothecaries, gold smiths, booksellers, armorers, millin- CTS and haberdaSherS.

BIRTHDAY OF
 POPE BENEDICT

Giacomo della Chiese, Pope Bene- dict the XIV, will celebrate his sixty second birthday to-day. as he was born in Pegli, in the diocese of Genoa, on Nov. 21, 1854. Few of the pontiffs in the long history of the Church of Rome have been called upon to deal with international complications so so difficult as those which have con- fronted Benedict XIV. The war has divided Catholic Europe into warning camps. Austria's thrity-six million Catholics, headed by Francis Joseph, always a devout adherent of the church, and Germany's twenty lions of the disciples of Rome, are ranged on one side. On the other are Frances thirty millions, Italy's thirty-two millions, the seven millions of Belgium, the five and a half mill lions of the United Kingdom, the five millions of Portugal. In this crisis in the worlds history the Pom tiff has sought to maintain an attitude described as 'impartiality'' rather than neutrality-to uphold ''that supreme, moral authority which must be kept intact so that it might be employed to reach the ultimate end of leading toward reconciliation of the peoples of the earth.''
 That Pope Benedict may act as me- diator when the time comes to bring the struggle to an end has often been suggested, but close observers of the European trend do not believe that the church will be cast for an important role in arranging a peace. Of all the warning nations, it is probable that Austria and Belgium alone would be willing to give any wide powers to the Holy See.
 Pope Benedict is the so3ereign pom tiff of about 272,S6o, 900 people. Of these it is estimated that 183,760,000 are in Europe, about 36,000,000 in North America, and practically the same number in South America. The remainder are divided between Asia, Africa and Oceania. There are nearly hundred million more Roman Cath olics in the world than Protestants, the latter being estimated at 177,000,00O. The Russian and other eastern church es have following of about 120, ,0O0,- 900.
 Pope Benedict comes of a noble fam fly, his father having been the Mar chese della Chiesa. Several mem bers of his family are now in the Ital- ian army. Three of his nephews hold commissions in the forces of Victor Emmanuel, and all received a special blessing from the Pope before they departed for the front. The Pon- tiff's only surviving brother is a retir- ed admiral of the Italian navy, who has returned to active service since the war began. The admiral's young son is a member of an infantry regi- ment-

There are 8 number of different versions of the incident, but the story she told to T. s. Jackson "Wilderb" tonic expert is perhaps the best.
 ''Now that I have taken your Wild erb treatment for rheumatism my friends can hardly believe that it has wrought the change in me that it has. But or course, they cannot doubt their own eyes and wish you could have seen me before I started taking your medicine. The truth is I am my old self again."
 For seven years I have been both cred terribly with rheumatism and dyspepsia My joints would get so stiff could hardly lie dewn at times, so you know how hard it was for me to walk around.

JAPANESE INVESTING
 IN II. $. SECURITIES

New York, Nov. 21.-Within the last six months, Japanese merchants and exporters have invested nearly $5O,- 900, 900 i'll American securities, accord ing to estimates in banking quarters. For the most part the securities were bonds, largely underlying railway is- sues, although a substantial portion are mortgage bonds of industrial com- panies.
 These investments are believed to be the outgrowth of the, shifts of com merce directly traceable to the Euro pean war. Japan has been shipping to the United States a great amount of goods such as formerly were manu- facturtd by Germany. As a conse- quence Japan's trade balance in this country has been growing steadily. producing credits which either had to be transferred to the owner or put to use here.

 BEST LIVER AND BOWEL LAXATIVE, FOR FAMILY USE 'Cascarets' regulate women, men and children with,
 out injury. Take when bilious, headachy, for colds, bad breath,
 sour stomach.

Instead of nasty, harsh pills, salts, castor oil or dangerous calomel, why don't you keep Cascarots handy in your home? Cascarets act on the liver and thirty feet of bowels so gently you don't realize you have taken cathartic, but they act thor ough1y and can be depended upon when a good liver and bowel cleanser is necessary-they move the bile and poison from the bowels without grip- ing and sweeten the stomach. You eat one or two at night like candy and you wake up feeling fine. the head ache, biliousness, bad breath, coated tongue, sour stomach, constipation, or bad cold disappears. Mothers should give cross, sick, feverish or bilious children a whole Cascaret any tirne-they are harmless and safe for the little folks.

FARM TO TABLE
 PLAN DOES NOT
 WORK OUT " ELL
Wisconsin Farmers Fail to Make It Pay, Although
 Project Is Sound.

The University of Wisconsin reports that the so-called Farm to the Table plan for shipment of produce direct from farmers to consumers has not worked well in that state. Of 200 farmers who advertised to make such shipments, only 66 have been able to keep it up.
 Yet this scheme worked admirably in Europe before the war. And 1t took. time to get 1t on a sound basis there. Our farmers and consumers should not abandon the idea too quickly. It does offer means for avoiding the high cost of the middle mans service, which President Will son in his speech to the National Grange at Washington a few days ago declared was the big cause of high cost of living.
 Probably one reason why the plan has not worked was that farmers do not always realize the necessity of ad- vertising. Or they may have put in just two or three ads at the start and stopped. It is the rule in any kind of business that you can't expect the best returns right off. It costs quite a little to get new idea started. One must expect to run without profit for a little Once certain families get to depending on a certain farm for a given line of supplies, they would buy at the same place year after year with a profit at both ends of the line. h Another difficulty encountered was that housewives could not seem to get their orders ready in advance, and then wait two or three days to have them delivered. There does not seem to be much forethought in the run ming of the modern home. The mis- tress presides over the parlor or living room, and does not know of a, short age until the maid bursts in with the alarming cry, "Nc eggs" Then there is a curry call at the telephone, the grocer is summoned immediately to get out his man and team and drive up to the house with a dozen eggs in season for dinner.l
 The whole process is costly and un- economical. The old fashioned home with it's shrewder economy foEesaw shortages Under present conditions of living it would be able to order in advance quantities of supplies that would keep the household going. Or ders like those at better prices than the middleman would pay should look good to the farmer.
