BRETHREN OF THE SWORD
Home Of Cult Was at Wenden, on tho
North Line of the German
Offensive in Russia.

The National Geographic society Is
Ietin on Wenden, on the line of the
German offensive In the direction Of
Petrograd:
The town of Wenden. one of the old
est in the province of Livonia. is situ-
nted few miles by rail northeast Of
Riga. 1t is picturesque place. built
two miles from the left bank of the
River Aa. The Aa flows in a south
westerly direction from this point
through that part of Russia known as
the Liyonian Switzerland, not on ac-
count of the height of mountains-the
highest hill is only 265 feet-but be-
cause of the charm of the landscape
with its well-wooded slopes bordering
the river valley.
The story of Wenden goes back seven
centuries to the time when the Breth-
rem of the Sword. recognized by Pope
Innocent III in 1902, made this place
their headquarters in the campaign in
augurated by them to disseminate
Christianity among the heather 1.-Two
mans. A castle was built here in
1910. and though ii Is now scarcely
more than crumbling ruin, as it was
never restored after the destructive
fire of 174S. around it cluster many
romantic and fascinating stories.
One of the most celebrated grand
masters of the Brethren of the Sword
was Walter Won Plettenberg. who rose
TO power during the closing years of
the fifteenth century and was finally
recognized as a prince of the empire
by the Emperor Charles V in 1927.
Plettenberg also built the castle of
Riga Q494-1515), which has Jared bet
ter than the Wenden stronghold. for
II is still used as the seat of the Rus
sian authorities Cor rather, was used
up to the time of Rigas fall few
weeks ago).
The most tragic chapter In the
history of Wenden was enacted In 1877
when the members of the garrison of
the castle, besieged by the forces of
the implacabe Ivan the Terrible, blew
themselves up rather than fall into the
hands of the czar. The castle was
soon repaired, however. and a short
time thereafter was the residence OF
Patricius Nideckl, appointed bishop of
Wenden in 1888 by Stephen Bathory, !
king of Poland.

When You Have Cold

1t is when you have a severe cold
that you appreciate the good qualities
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs.
Frank Croker, Parma, ILL.,, writes
"Our five-year-old son Paul caught
a severe cold last winter that settled
on his lungs and he had terrible cough
ing spells. We were greatly worried
about him as the medicine we gave
him did not help him in the least. A
neighbor spoke so highly Of Cham

Toys for the Riddles.

Great Britain is now exporting to
all parts Of The world toys to the
annual value OF 100000. Her ex-
ports to Argentine consist of most
expensive scientific toys. French toys,
made by disabled French soldiers, are
very popular in Argentine. They are
for the most part caricatures Of not
able personages. The Swiss send musi-
cal boxes, the japanese cheap cloth
dolls, and the United States hand
power vehicles. Mechanical toys are
the favorites.

About Combination

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements Of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea
and boiled milks. On the other hand
raw fruits, especially apples and ba-
nanas, also graham bread and whole
wheat promote a movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated, however, the sure way is
to take one or two of Chamberlain's
Tablets Immediately after supper.

Martha Jane sat between her tws

paper was in the aunts' opinion, con

back to the paper. There would be at

HOPPE TO DO HIS BIT
FOR AMBULANCE FUND
Champion and Peterson Will Give
Exhibition at Allinger's
Tomorrow

Willie Hoppe, greatest of all balk-line
billiard players, and Charles C. Peterson
will do their bit for the local section of
the billiard players ambulance fund by
appearing in balk-line, three-cushion
and trick shot exhibitions at Sol Allin-
gers academy tomorrow afternoon at 3
O'Clock and again in the evening at s
o'clock.
II will perhaps be the final opportu-
nifty this season local enthusiasts will
have TO see these experts in action.
Hopes appearance at Allinger's last
week brought out big crowds, and the
fact that the contests tomorrow will be
for the benefit of the fund to supply
ambulanccs for use In the war zone
Will no doubt, bring out capacity at
tendances of spectators. The entire re-
caipts will he added to the local fund,
which few weeks ago amounted to
$4,000.
Hoppe has rarely in recent years
shown his prowess as a fancy or trick
shot The skill displayed by Peterson
occasioned surprise, as few of the
famous old-timer players displayed the
ability to solve difficult caroms as
shown by the Mound City star in his
exhibitions last week. Hopes improve
ment as a three-cushion player shows
that it will not be long before he is to
be reckoned with in the angle game.

Condition of Dscouragementi in Spring Can
Be Bridged Over With Practice
BY CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS, Jr.

A FTER about the worst winter ever
n known there comes once more a
little sniff of golf in the air. Besides
these described airy atoms that effect
the nostrils of the golfers they sense
something else; they really breathe in
thousands Of old, familiar and wonder
full things.
During this time of war anxiety, Bit
ter cold and tug of business, the golfer
may almost have forgotten the clubs
laid aside last fall, but after the first
breath of warmth reaches us. however,
all is changed. We begin to hunt up
and look over the old clubs In the corner
at home, or in the locker at the club
house. Somehow when you pick up a
club IL feels heavy and it hardly seems
possible to hit that little ball in the
center again. We realize that we arc
up against the discouragng phase OF
getting in playing trim once more.
Golfers Must Keep Fit
This winter IN my own case. and
without doubt It has been the same with
scores of others, differs widely from any
that iave gone before. In previous

everything and to meatlcss Tuesdays

hated to think of anything that did not
advance the business of war. Yet keep

preparations for the warriors work, and
those of us who are still at home must
