Nearly everybody in Southwest Mis-
souri, either knows or has heard of
the Rev. Parker Moon, who for a full
half century has devoted his life and
talents to Sunday school and organi-
cation work for the Society of Friends
or Quakers.
"Uncle Parker" as he is more famil-
iarly known, came from fine old rug
ged Quaker stock, and there is not a
better known or more highly respect
ed citizen in that part of the state.
In referring to his remarkable res
toration to health by Tanlac, he said !:
"About five years ago / suffered
general breakdown. My principal
trouble was nervous indigestion. My
appetite was very poor and my food
seldom agreed with me, and I had to
live on a very restricted diet. / suf-
fered great deal from headaches
and dizzy spells; had severe pains

badly constipated most of the time.

winter sports are in soft round shapes
and made of rusty red or golden brown

COLUMBIA MAY GET STADIUM
President Butler Advocates Erection
Of Big Plant to Serve Needs !,
of Students.

Erection Of stadium is urged by
President Nicholas Murray Butler In
his annual report as president of Col
umbia university. Doctor Butler says
"The plan for stadium along the
North river, between One Hundred
and Sixteenth and One Hundred and
Twentieth streets, which has lain der
mant for years, should be vigorously
revived and an attempt made to carry
1t to completion.
"This stadium, in addition to serv-
ing the needs of the students and
alumni of Columbia, would be great
addition to the open-air resources OF
the city Of New York and would
speedily become the center for public
gatherings, games and displays of
various kinds.
"South field would then be left, as
should be the case, to serve as a play
ground for the great army Of stu
dents who wish to engage in sport or
to take open-air exercise without be-
coming members of particular and
highly trained team"

THOROUGHBREDS WILL
BE READY FOR RACES
Training at Hot Springs to Put
Horses on Edge.
More Spirited Competition Than Usual
Predicted for Big Turf Events to
Be Run Over Western and
Eastern Tracks.

The decision of Samuel @. Hildreth,
James M. McClelland and Senator
Johnson N. Camden Of Kentucky to
have their stables, or, at least, parts
of their stables, winter at Oakland
park, Hot Springs, Ark, presages a
competition more spirited than usual
next spring for the Kentucky Derby,
Latonia Derby, Withers, Belmont and
Preakness stakes, series Of three
year-old specials that will have a gross
value of upward of $150,000 and are
sure to attract the best colts and FLIES
of eligible age in the country.
Inchcape and Grey Lag of the Hill
dreth-Sinclair stable; Leonardo H.,
Mulciber, Bon Homme and, possibly,
Scraps of the McClelland establish
ment, and Rangoon and, possibly, OAR
feeling of the stable of Senator Cam
den, are going to get the sort Of prep
aration for the Kentucky Derby Of
1921 that George Smith and Star
Hawk got in the genial climate of
South Carolina for the derby of 1915,
in which they were destined to finish
one, two, that Omar Khayyam got at
Hot Springs for the spring Of 1917
that Exterminator got for the great
handicaps of 1919 and Eternal got for
the derby Of 1919.
In the cases Of Omar Khayyam
and EXterminator, wintering at Hot
Springs and training there in the early
spring proved highly effective. Omar
Khayyam won his derby in 1917 and
Exterminator was most successful in
the big spring handicaps in which he
started in 1919. Eternal left Hot
Springs for Kentucky in the spring of
1919 a thoroughly fit horse, but it
CHANGED that his derby was run
through heavy going which he did not
like and Sir Barton and Billy Kelly
did like. SO Sir Barton won easily
and Billy Kelly, which had succumbed
to Eternals speed at Laurel park in
the autumn of 1918 in the first renewal
of the John r. Mclean MemoriaH Cup,
finished one, two, while the Sweep
colt was unplaced.
A lot of attention will be paid by
winter spectators to the derby and
Preakness candidates of the stable of
Harry Payne Whitney-Prudery, Ex-
odus, Tryster, Dartmoor, Broomspun,
etc.-which are wintering in New Jer-
sey, at Brookdale farm. These young
sters showed class in the season past.

sleeves of glorious lace run with
threads of metal or left plain, that
reach to the knees when the arm is

There are others which sweep to the

nm afterthought to the wrist, where
they are held by jeweled bracelet.

Covered With Feather Fringe

The Paris milliner is covering small,
round turbans and coronets almost en-
tirely with these feathers, which form
d fringe not unlike monkey fur, but
softer and more refined looking. The
proper adjustment of these delicate
breast feathers is to have them prac-
tically cover the top and sides of a
small turban and hang in fringelike
ornaments over the ears. Maria Gro
yet is using these feathers very sue
cessfully in dark blue on close-ftting
turbans of dark blue velvet.
The great vogue for lace is not con-
fined TO dresses. 1t was lavishly used
on autumn hats, and is quite as promi-
hent on those for midwinter. Used
I'm this way, the lace is always black,
sometimes draped AROUND the hat and
falling off In scarflike effect or form
ing large loops at the right side Of
small, close-fitting turbans.

thing remains dark with the eXcep-

POOL KNOWN AS MOSES WELL
Is Believed to Be That Mentioned in
the Bible in Connection With
Great Law Giver.

In the Egyptian desert, about ten
miles east Of Suez, is situated a pic
turesque pool known as Moses WELL"
This is believed to be the well men
toned in the Bible, where Moses, at
the bidding Of the Lord, cast a branch
into the bitter waters, and they were
sweetened. Set in deep grove of
date-palms and pomegranate trees, the
well is dark, calm, mysterious look
ing pool, faithfully rejecting the
palms which fringe it's edges. The
scene at sunrise, when the first rays
strike the still water, is exquisite be-
yond description.
Attempts to identify various nat
ural beauties and locations with men
lions or descriptions as given in the
Bible have always been difficult, owing
to the fact that the records of the
rulers of Egypt at the time of the cap
tivity of the Jews were destroyed by
rulers that came into power immedi-
ately afterward. The motive was
jealousy, and determination to wipe
from the minds of the people any re-
grets for rulers gone.
