ton. 1t also stimulates q lazy
stomach to normal action and i'm
proves digestion SO that the body
absorbs the full strength from the
food. AS many ailments come from
a disordered digestive system or
from a clogged up condition of the
bowels, Lyko helps to remove one
of the great causes of discomfort
and illness.
Certain ingredients in Lyko have
a direct and beneficial action on
the kidneys and liver; others give
strength to the nervous system and
prevent what is known as nervous
fatigue and mental exhaustion.
Practically every part of the body
is helped to return to its full health
and strength by Lyko. And
healthy body means physical and
mental power, magnetic personal
ity, the appearance that brings ad.
miration &Gd confidence.
If you are fraiI, weak, suffering
from breakdown" or il you feel
inactive, lacking in energy, unable
to compete with active people, il
you look and feel old, let Lyko give
younew vim and vigor. Donot delay.
Begin ct once. Let Lyko do for you
what it has done for so many others.

As you watch the crowd going

see the difference in the people
who make it up.
Some are well, strong, vigorous.
full of the vim and energy that

others are weak. emaciated, lack

us desire, among other things and
above them, comfort and security; but
Asia and Africa take little account Of
comfort and still less Of security.
They want the JOY of living and
chance to do their own living for
themselves; a life not so much pro
tected, but with color and excitement
in it, with the zest Of creation and
accomplishment in it-a life in which
heavy-handed man would have q
chance, and anybody could come to
the top. The life Of the Arabian

The play is the result Of action on
the part of the commissariat of edu-
cation, and it is to be produced by the
orders Of that committee by the state
Institute of Theatrical Art.
Judging from the first reports, the
performance is something in the ma
ture Of burlesque. Hamlet is not a
Danish prince, but prominent COM
munist leader fighting against the
bOurgeoisie and capitalism. The ia
miliar speeches and solilOquies have
been rewritten and put into revolu-
tiOnary rhetoric. Lloyd George comes

Rather Rough on the opera.

A young woman from Baltimore,
having seen most Of the sights Of New
York, and having heard much Of the
famous amateur nights at a certain
burlesque house, persuaded friend
to escort her to one Of these enter
tainments. The informal, bohemian
atmosphere and the fog Of blue smoke
that rose from cigars and cigarettes
on all sides inspired her to light a
cigarette. During the intermission
the manager sought her out and in
dignantly reproached her for break
ing the rule of the house. you'll
have to cut that out" he exploded,

absurd" said the lady from Baltimore,

DERIVED FROM ROMAN NAME
Term "Scandinavian" Frequently Is In.
correctly Used, According to This
Newspaper Writer.

The name Scandinavia" is derived
from one the Romans gave to the
region now forming the southern part
of Sweden. Gradually it was applied
also to Norway on the western part
Of the same peninsula, and then the
Danes, who occupy an entirely sep
arate peninsula, came to be included
in the term Scandinavian" because
of their racial relationship to the two
countries to which the term was ap-
plicable geographically. AS the people
Of Iceland are descended from Nor
wegian celonists they, too, may he
counted as Scandinavians, and the
same holds true Of some Firms Of
Swedish descent, though the general
population of Finland is ethnologicallS
no more Scandinavian than are Mag.

Folding Beds Ancient.

more surprising, 1000 years ago the
jewellers along the Nile cherished
folding beds.
This significant bit Of news

Of Art with folding bed purlOined
from tomb Of old Egypt proves that
the folding bed was priced as lux

Pockets Of Marbles in Lava.

If prehistoric lads did not enjoy the

Of them are perfect in shape and just

Assault on Chas.
BuzZell of Benton

After an extended hearing yesterday
morning Samuel Silver was fined S.
and costs for assault and battery on
Charles Buzzell of Benton last Tues
day. by Recorder j. A. Letourneau.
Silver came into court and pleaded
not guilty. +. Harold Dubord was the
attorney for the respondent. The
states witnesses were Charles BuzzelI,
George Stevens and Almon Chamber
lain, all of Benton.
1t was alleged that Buzzell owed
Silver some money and Silver went to
Benton in his auto truck to collect
Buzzcll had promised to pay on the
first of August but did not. The two
men had some differences of opinion,
according to witnesses for the State.
and Silver reached down and struck
him. The complainant declared that
Buzzell threw hammer at him and
struck him on the head. Chamberlain
on the stand admitted urging Buzzell
to fight. 1t came out in the testimony
that there had been some ill-feeling
beween Silver and Chamberlain.
The respondent and Myer Levine,
who was with Silver at the time, were
witnesses for The defence.
Silver denied hitting Buzzell but de-
clared that Buzzell hit him twice,
knocking his glasses off. He admitted
throwing the hammer at BuZzell but
denied hitting him. He said he had
intended to swear out a warrant for
Buzzell on the same. charge. Myer
Levine corroborated Silver's testimony.
The judge imposed the sentence. Sill
vcr appealed and furnished bonds in
the sum of $400.
