Madrid IL Not So Ancient.

Madrid is not a city Of great an
tiquity. Many efforts, it is true, have
been made to trace its history back
into classical times and even beyond,
but the first authentic mention of the
town occurs in the Arab chronicles,
and this does not carry one back far
Their than the first half of the tenth
century. The place was, Of course,
occupied by the Moors when they were
the dominant power Of Spain, but was
finally taken from them by Alfonso
vi. In 1888. Henry w. used it as
hunting seat, but it did not attain any
Importance until the reign Of Charles
", who made it a place Of residence
and was wont to visit it occasionally
It was in the reign Of Philip II. that
at last it attained to the dignity Of
capital city. He created it his capital
and unica corte, or only court, in 1860.
and it has remained the capital Of
Spain ever since in spite Of occasional
efforts on the part Of sundry kings to
transfer the government to Valladolid
and Seville.-National Geographic So
ciety Bulletin.

Easy Jail Methods.

The greatest leniency is shown to
criminals in New Zealand. Thus In
one Jail at the end Of the South is
land prisoner may keep race horse
and is permitted to transact business
concerning It. In the same jail well
behaved prisoners are allowed an after
noon out occasionally.
Prison authorities in New Zealand
are believers in the moral effects Of
open air. In one Of their institutions
the newly arrived misdemeanant is al
lowed the choice Of living in Jail or
outside it, tents being erected at the
back. This system Of sending people
to Jail by letting them live outside has,
however, its disadvantages. In one
case the prisoners resenting harsh
treatment in the way Of lockout"
lifted up the ''jail'' and deposited it
far away in the bush.

Walk For Health.

A state board of health advises:
'"Take time to walk-or make time to
walk. The pernicious habit Of hopping
on a trolley car to 60 block or two
robs many of the necessary health pre-
serving exercise they should have.
Walk for health
The Recommendation is sound, but
why should those who ride in automo-
biles be left out? The inveterate users
Of motorcars need to be told to walk
more quite as much as the rest Of u.s.
Nowhere is the riding habit easier to
acquire than where an automobile is at
beck and call. Even the workers who
deem the trolley car necessity would
often be advantaged by keeping their
nickels in their own pockets and there
by inviting more physical and mental
vigor. We are all sinners when it comes
to the failure to keep in touch with the
open.-Springfeld Republican.

Pot and Kettle,

There is proverb much heard now
adays that we never, could see the sense
of, 'The pot can't call the kettle black"
Why not we should like to know? The
kettle is black. It ought to be called
black. Who has a better right to speak
with confidence about the faults of the
kettle than the pot, which has for years
hung on the same crane and inhaled
the same smoke? If there is anything
that would make the pot seem less
sooty in our eyes it is giving us clear
reflection Of the image Of the kettle.
Shall no one point out blackness any,
where unless he knows himself to be
speckless? Would the pot rise in our
estimation If 1t followed the custom
Of its critics and said, 1.-THE kettle is
white, as white as I amY-Independ-

Killed Troops.

The Greek killed troops, the Evzones,
bear a variant of q name which was
given to troops in the days of ancient
Greece. Euzonoi, meaning well girdled
and so grit up for exercise as killed
men are, were light troops or even the
heavily armed hoplitai, but without
their weighty shields. At first, how
ever, the term, as in Homer, was used
only regarding women, the zone be-
ing the lower girdle worn by them
about the waist, but by an easy and
natural transition this came to mean
a mans belt. Then, as the belt sup
ported the short skirts, killed men
were called well belted.

 The difference is very great. An Hemulsion" contains real cod K1ey oH which has had the hearty endorse ment, of the medical profession for many years, while an "extract" is a product which contains 70 oiZ and is highly alcoholic.

BETTER THAN CALokEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards O.. ze Tablets are
 a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver IS almost instantaneous. They are the re- suit of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish 1t brought out these little olive-colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calome1. but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Most headaches. "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel ''loggy" and sheavy." Note how they 'cleaT" '"'lded brain and how they "perk ID" SDir- its. 1Oc and 25c a box. All drugsis.s.

Reports from Australia show the strict censorship that prevails over all forms of mail matter. Recently a well known sporting authority 0e- sired to send a letter to boxer Les Darcy, now in this country, and in- trusted the communication to a friend about to sail for the States. The let ter was found in his possession just before the ship left the dock. As a result he was fined $50 and the writ CT S125 after a hearing which caused the bearer Of the letter to lose his passage on the ship, which sailed while he was explaining how the note came into his possession.
