Times Change

If you want to know how times are
changing, take the story of the cele-
brated sheik.
Ibn Ali Hussein is the most Illus
trious member of the family. 1t is he
who rules the desert around the sa-
cred city of Mecca, and claims de-
scent from no less parsonage than
the prophet Mohammed himself.
Ibn Ali is monarch of a wide sea of
sand; does he roam the desert rif1ing
treasure chests and snatching ladies
from their escorts in moving picture
style?
Apparently not. Listen to this
report of modern Arab manners
vouchsafed by the London Times:
Ibn Ali writes his orders with a
fountain pen. He operates wire
less. He owns newspaper called
Ell Kibla, dictates editorials-and cor
reefs the galley proof.
Oh, yes-and his telephone number
is Mecca, No. From Golfers.

Good phone Wrinkle

Speaking of German telephones
they have one little wrinkle, which
we opine, might be worthy of Ameri-
cas- attention. Using the instrument
at central 1857, say, one desires
to call Doctor Gradenwitz, at Rhein-
gau 1903. When the operator at the
central exchange answers, one doesn't
shoot the whole number at her, Ameri-
can style; one simply asks for the
Rheingau exchange. That is; one
enunciates the single word ''Rhein-
gau" and in moment one hears the
same word repeated in ones ear, by
way Of notice that one has got Rhein-
gau One then asks for number 1908.
without any prefix of course; and one
gets it. With fewer repetitions of the
number, it stands to reason there are
fewer wrong connections given. Sci
entific American.

Friend, of Homeless Animals

Miss Margaret Crouch of Butte,
Mont, vowed many years ago never to
allow dog or cat to go hungry in
that city of long cold winters. Being
a working woman, she could not es-
tablish an animal caravansary, but
she turned her modest home over to
strays, and often has as many as 80
homeless animals staying with her.
They literally seek her out, no doubt
through some mysterious underground
information current among homeless
animals, for she has often found in
the mornings four or five homeless
dogs and starved cats waiting patients
ly on her narrow porch. Fed, treated
and tanned, the animals are then
passed on to other kindly people who
give them homes, and Miss Crouch
takes in others of the endless number
of waits.

Water Supply for Stock

An abundant supply of water is an
essential affecting profits in fattening
live stock for market. Often hogs
do not get enough water, particularly
during the hot summer months. Wa
tering twice Cay or morning and
evening is not sufficient. They should
be watered at least three times day.
It requires only small expenditure
to make homemade automatic water
ers. A barrel inverted in cut-down
barrel of a larger size makes salts

Chemicals Carried to Sea

Thirty-two of the acknowledgements
known to exist have been found in
sea water. Scientists believe that most
Of the others are there, and await
merely the development OF new meth
DDS of chemical analysis to bring them
to light. These chemicals have been
washed into the sea from the rocks OF
the land. Every year 500,000,0O0 tons
of salts are carried to the sea by the
American rivers alone

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Or. KiImGr'S SWamp-ROOt

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
"A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it ful6lls almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

Swamp Root by parcel post. Address DR..

Discriminating Waves

Senator Marsoni, Analysing his sue
cess in transmitting the human voice
from England to Australia, makes a
very interesting statement. He says
that waves sent from England in the
morning travel to Australia by way
of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
distance of $4,000 kilometers. Those
sent out in the afternoon go by way
of Europe and Asia, distance of
1900 kilometers. Here is a puzzle
indeed for the scientists to explain.

Cattle Require Salt

Cattle must have salt 20 thrive. A
plentiful supply should be kept before
them at all times. This plan is more
satisfactory than sailing at intervals.
Cattle like evaporated salt, either in
the block or ground form. Salt should
be placed in the parts of the pasture
where cattle are not inclined to Craze.
The cattle will frequent these places
more if salt is placed in them. Do
not put salt near watering places.

Road Taxes Centuries Old

Autoists who feel abused at the
modern highway vehicle tax may find
some solace in the fact that coaches
were made to pay highway taxes as
far back as 1861. In that year more
than 400 coaches operating in London
and vicinity had to pay taxes to use
the roads and the money was used to
pave the London and Westminster
streets.

Whole Pepper Grinders

For the table service wooden grind

add a toach to the service. The Span

est users of pepper, always use the

that the ground article has lost its
strength.

DEAN BYRON CUMMINGS
DISCOVERS ANCIENT CITY

An ancient city of more than 300
rooms and said to be not less than
500 years old has been discovered
by Dean Byron Cummings, Di-
rector Of the State Museum and Pro-
fessor Of Archaeology at the Univer-
sity of Arizona.
Paul Gatlin, Tucson mining man,
who had heard of the ruins, prevailed
upon Dean Cummings to accompany
him to the site and verify the report
that this was an ancient Pueblo ruin.
The ruins were discovered by Dean
Cummings to belong to the ancient
"Hill Pueblo" period which is in the
neighborhood of 1900 years ago.
The ruins are located on the right
Of the Tucson -SiIverbe1l road about
forty miles northwest Of Tucson, and
are built in terraces along the side
Of a low hill Several pieces of
pottery and bone were picked up by
the Dean and according to his state
ment. conform with other pottery OF

long, rolling ridges Of the desert had
already a sub-tinge of green.
Hour after hour, the two men rode
side by side. Occasionally Winton
ventured some remark, but the judge
hardly answered him; he was brood
ing, with his head sunk on his breast
WintOn was lost in dreams of Sheila.
After long time, in the broiling heat
Of the noon sun, he saw the faint out
lines of the distant hills before him
First they were a blue line against
the sky, then patch of green against
the brown of the desert. He pointed
them out to his companion, but the
judge only looked up, nodded, and re-
sumed his brOOding. Presently he
raised his head. and WintOn was
alarmed to see the light of the deadly
purpose in his eyes.
He'll make for there, Garrett"
he said.
"SeatonY
Judge Davis nodded. "They told me
last night" he answered. That's
why l wanted to give him a nights
start. He'll have made that place by
now. I've been there-long ago. Wen
meet, 1t will be the fultillment Of
quest that occupied great part of
my time years ago, Garrett; l put it
aside, but 1 never abandoned it alto
gether and now I've taken it up
again"
It occurred to Winton that If Judge
Davis went mad, he would go mad in
precisely that cool, methodical way.
He wondered if he was armed, and
what he would do if he and Seaton
met. And he cursed himself for not
having reflected that such meeting
was highly probable
He had a fieeting idea Of attempt
ing physical restraint, but he aban-
dOned the idea instantly. Whatever
needed to be done must be done when
the time arrived.
The distant hills grew nearer. Green
valleys and precipitOus heights ap-
peared. The sun was at the zenith.
The horses walked with hanging
heads, painting. Not a living thing
appeared on the vast plain except the
steeds and their riders.
But presently Winton caught sight
of something on the FAR horizon that
looked like a vast flock of sheep. Yet
surely no man had ever owned so
large a herd It formed a wide arc
miles in length. along the edge OF
the desert.
1t was a mirage, of course But

Winton was only vaguely aware OF
the quick termination of the trial, with
its expected, though illogical verdict
of mot guilty" He saw Judge Davis
lifted and carried out by his support
ers; saw De Witt, his face twitching
nervously at the verdict, stride from
the courtroom; then he was pushing
his own way outside among the ex-
cited, buzzing groups, and perceived

to ride out with me in the morning
and bring her home"
Judge, I'll go, and I'll bring her
to you," said Winton, wondering how
this new development would affect his
plans. ~
''Pn go with you, Mr., Garrett. I'll
be here on horseback at six in the
morning That's what l came to tell
you"
"Then I'll be ready, judge" said
Winton.
The old man went out silently, leav-
ing Winton pondering still more deep
ly. But he realized that Judge Davis
claim was prior to his own. And he
tried to view the matter unselfishly,
though a fierce jealousy tortured him
at the thought that he, who had stood
by the girl in her extremity, should
have to yield to the man who had
prosecuted her.
When he went out early in the
morning Judge Davis was just turn
ing into the compound. He was
mounted on a big bay, and appeared
much the same as usual. Winton,
who had been a little alarmed at his
appearance the night before, was re-
assured. He saddled his horse and
mounted, and the two rode silently
out into the desert.
The sun was rising in crown Of
fiery clouds. There were pools Of rain
everywhere, and the freshness of the
air was delightful contrast to the
long drought. Cloud-banks were al
ready heaping up in the sky, but there
was not likely to be another downpour
until nightfall; the first rains are not
continuous, as In later weeks. The
day promised intense heat, but the

Of which are Paul Gerard Smith and
3. K. Nadel, will present revue type
of play called Keep KOOl," at the
Playhouse, Wilmington, Saturday,

won national appreciation. Following
the accepted rule, in that revue pri-
marily is a succession of sumptuOus
scenes, Messrs. Nadel and Smith have
lavished huge sums of money on seen
cry, costumes and effects, thus making
sure of the appeal to the eye.
In these frames of gold, sparkling
spangles and tinsel, the action Of the
play takes place. There are fourteen
musical numbers, thirty scenes and
several specialties. The book and Tyr
les are by Mr.. Smith and the music by
Jack Frost. Earl Lindsay staged the
dance numbers and Mr.. Nadel direct
