TOO MUCH EVEN FOR IMAGES
Statues on British Parliament Build
ings Unable to Stand Awfu,
Climate of London.

The outer walls of the houses or
parliament In London are crumbling.
Hundreds of carved images, mostly OF
imaginary royal figures, have been un-
able to withstand the ravages Of the
weather, combined with the smoke
laden London atmosphere. They suffer
also from the lack of respect shown
them by hundreds of pigeons which
roost ON the scepter and sharpen their
beaks on the noses of kings.
Scarcely a day passes but a mon
archs hand or toe falls into Palace
yard. Not long ago kings head was
found in fragments on the terrace.
During the recess scaffolding Will
be erected and many workmen EN-
ployed, at cost Of $550OO, picking of
the loose bits. Thus may one man In
a day uncrown scores of kings.
Sir John Gilmour, who represents
the government department that looks
after public buildings, is of the opinion
that none of the kings or other distin-
guished folk will be allowed to stick
1t out much longer on the outer walls
of parliament. II think the day Will
come before long," he says, when all
the statues will have to be taken away
The situation does not agree with
them"

USED ODD WEDDING COACHES
Steam PIow, Traction Engine, Tram

An American bridegroom who made
his journey to the altar eh steam

adorned with white rosettes. pref
tily decorated tramcar was the chosen
vehicle of Wolverhampton bridal
party, the driver and conductor wear
ing white gloves and smart button
holes and the journey to the church
being heralded by the explosion OF

But perhaps the most novel journey
of all was that of a young Austrian
couple, whose wedding procession slid
down a steep hill from the brides
home to Paysback church on seven to-
boggans decorated with pine branches

Re-Proofinq Your Raincoat.

Whatever the time of year, one
needs reliable raincoat in the coun-
try, but unless of rubbered variety,
many raincoats quickly lose their rain
proof qualities, and are useless for
the purpose they were intended to
fill. Here is a method of re-waterproof-
ing cloth that will be found quite sue
cessful and easily carried out ut home.
Take one and quarter pounds Of
alum and dissolve this In five gal
Ions of boiling water In another bath
dissolve one and a quarter pounds Of
sugar of lead. Then mix the two solu-
tions.
Place the coat in the mixture and
make sure that 1t Is saturated with
the liquor. Without wringing, put
the coat in hanger and dry, plunge
into cold water and then hang out to
dry again This time 1t will be tit for
use, and will withstand ordinary rain.

In the mythology Of SOME low
tribes, such as the Caribs, Brazilians,

the thought of thunder and lightning

WHO HAS SEEN
A VITAMINE :?
No Orc. Says Science--They Work
Like Magic, Uncaught by the Eye.

Vitamines are known to be rea'
things and indispensable parts OF oui

Apparently there has never been
given a better definition OF those mys-
terious elements than given by q
learned scientist. who recently said
'Vitamines arc to food what our
souls are to our bodies. They are
there. They do things. But we can
not see them
Ever since creation man has been
eating vitamines, but didn't realize II
until very recent years. The study OF
vitamines has become important be-

many horrible diseases are being

vitamines supply certain need OF

self But they disagree on just what
that need is.
Many agree that vitamines supply
the body with certain necessary chem
ical units which the body Is unable to
manufacture. Others regard them as
stimulators az they seem to exert a
stimulating influence upon the various
activities OF the body. still others
have other opinions, and In the end
the general public regards all their
theories as only intelligent guess work.
There are three kinds OF vitamines,
fat-soluable A. water soluable B. and
waters oluable G.
A Is found mainly in milk, butter fat,
eggs. spinach. carrots. sweet potatoes,
kidney fat, cod-liver OIL yellow corn
and tomatoes.
Il is mostly confined to yeast, wheat
germs and milk.
G Is contained mostly In citrous
fruits. such as oranges. lines and
lemons. fresh cabbage, tomatoes,
onions green apples. lettuce and green
peas. This data. of course, IS limited.
as no full tables have been prepared
up to the present time.
Any one whose regular diet contains
a good balance of A, Il and G Vita
