looks as if the day will come when
there will be no more circus. 1t takes
lot of illusion nowadays to carry a
boys fancy roaming over tie world of
unknown. And it's because the circus
is the Oldest illusion in the world that
it has been the intermittent joy Of
humanity as far back as we can re-
member, and others before us.
The first circus in the world was
hot started by P. T. Barnum or John
Robinson, neither by Forpaugh or
Teddy Roosevelt. Where did the cir.
Gus people get their spectacles from;
the tented city; the gilded and carved
tableaus drawn by six and eigh,
horses; the hippodromes and the am.
phitheatre, the kalsomined clown and
the flop-eared parade of shuffling ele-
plants, the long necked caravans OF
camels and the grand turnout of tens
of thousand along the sidewalk, Gag
erly listening for the first blare OF
the trumpet that denotes the coming of
the miles of splendor preceded by the
cncoming haze of dust? Maybe it was
from the Romans and the triumph of
Rome when the conquerers got back
IT. that sacred city from pushing out
the borders of the empire in the lands
CT the nose-ringed people from Ethio-
pia's way. Maybe so. Rome conquer
ed the world, and led the world gack
in procession to the first city in the
world; and the citizens, Plebs and pa
tricians, turned out to see them come.
Ages of World ShO~n in Circus.
The circus has ravaged and rum
mayed bigger world than Rome ever
knew, and brings it all, such as
achievement has done and such as it
was thousands of years ago, into your
town and mine; and we watch the
ages of the world go by in the sun
and neat to the conquering chortie Of
the steam caliope. The circus of to-
day and yesterday is older than time.
1t was as old as the hills when ROM
illus and Remus were being sucked
by the wowlfw. The story of it is
told in book which is read by more
people than any other book in the
world; book which the higher crit
les have been trying to reduce to his
tory and pure reason; when they
might as well give up the job. The

story of the first circus in the worlds
history is told in the Bible away back
in the Book of Genesis. 1t is the story
of what happened to the world when
it became very wicked, and because
there were no circuses to go to. 1t is
the story of time when all human
ity was swept away by the flood, ex-
cept Noah and his family, who were
housed on the Ark The first circus
was managed by Noah himself, when
he had all of his sons assist him to
have the animals of the world 10
march, two by two, on the Ark; then
his three sons, Shem, Ham and Japhel,
fed them. We have no record of there
being any rings or trapeze in this
circus, or even lemonade of the pink
kind. But the real joy of the circus
the menagerie-wa there with all
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-11-20

It's glory on the circus on the ARK.
And the circus OF today will cease to
be joy to mankind if it ever out
grows the days of Noah.
They modernize circuses of to.ay
by bringing on vaudeville, but it
doesn't fill the bill The circus be-
longs to the centuries. It is the
only living institution in the world
that sums up the past and present,
and if they try to improve it by in
Producing the method of the theatre,
it will no longer be circus.
For eighty-nine years the John
Robinson name in circus history has
stood for the best in circusdom, and
on Wednesday, November 22nd, you
will have the pleasure once more of
looking backward to your boyhood's
joyous days at Americas.

Best Disinfectant Known.

A physician writes to Farm and
Fireside saying: "That the very best
disinfectant known to science does not
seem to be known to some people at
all.
II allude to boric acid, or, as some
people call 1t, boracic acid 1t IS ex.
ceedingly efficient. safe and economi.
cal. 1t is white powder, and makes
the best dressing for wounds that mod
ern doctors have ever discovered. In
using peroxide Of hydrogen it is al.
ways necessary to remember that
while 1t is a disinfectant it is not
healing remedy at all, as it is acid in
reaction and stimulating, rather than
healing, to wounds. Boric acid is
mild and safe in its action, promotes
rapid healing Of wounds, can be used
as a dressing powder or, dissolved in
water, as cleansing solution. Boric
acid in solution makes an excellent
gargle for sore Threats or a lotion for
sore eyes, and as it is not at all expen-
sive a pound box of it should form
part Of the domestic supplies of every
family. Always remember that boric
acid is nonpoisonous in any ordinary
quantity usually used, while bichloride
Of mercury and carbolic acid are ex-
ceedingly poisonous. For disinfectinl
and deodorizing drains, the crude or
unrefined carbolic acid is one of the
best agents obtainable."

DIET AND CHILDREN'S TEETH
Modified Cows Milk Is Best Artificial
Food-Vegetables, Fruit and
Meat Necessary.

Decayed teeth are found in from Sc
to 95 per cent of school children.
Children who are fed exclusively at
the breast for the first six months of
life have decayed teeth in about 40
per cent; those fed on cows milk in
about the same proportion, while
those fed on sweetened condensed milk
show it in about 20 per cent.
DR.. Joseph Durand says in the Jour-
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton that if an infant cannot be nursed
by its mother it must be fed on cows
milk properly modified, and that very
early in its career-about the sixth
month-thiS must be supplemented
with vegetables, fruit and meat. AS
soon as its teeth begin to come it must
have food that will exercise the teeth
and jaws-tough meat, bacon rind,
hard crusts, apples, celery, etc. And
the meal should always end with
some fbrous, preferably acid food,
such as salad or fruit, as these pro-
woke flow Of highly alkaline saliva.

Turkish Women.

Turkish women are to be counted
among the most Industrious on earth.
They do vast amount of work. They
make carpets, screens for doors, work
bags, horse clothing and blankets. A
Turkish girl makes all the kibitka or
tent carpets, and other household req
uisites before she is married. If she
gets married without completing the
task it is expected that she will, by
her own labor, refund the money which
her parents have given her as dowry.
This usually consists of hundred
sheep and a certain amount of money,
which the bridegroom pays to the par
ents of the bride. He also treats his
friends to a succession of horse races
and other sports. An important part
Is to decorate a camel with the hand
soonest trappingS, which are sent to
the brides tent. On this she goes forth
to receive congratulations of relatives
and friends. 1t is on this she is car
ried away by the female relatives Of
the bridegroom. She and her attend
ants feign to resist the act by throwing
raw oats at the other women.

The Biggest DiaIs.

The art of the clockmaker has
achieved many remarkable triumphs.
Sometimes it is in a clock wonderful
for the complexity of it's movements
and its busy population of automatons
that attracts our admiration, like that
in the cathedral of Strassburg; at
other times the immense size of the
machinery and the dials excites aston
ishment.
This is the case with the celebrated
clock in the tower of the Church of st.
Rombaut at Mechlin. This clock is
believed to possess the largest dials
that exist in the world. There are
four Of them, one on each side Of the
great square tower, and their extreme
diameter is nearly 371a feet. The fig
ures showing the hours are nearly 81
feet high, and the hands have q
length Of nearly II feet.
