An Interpretation Of this brief note
shows that the band of Colonel Proc
tors Fourth Continental artillery ap-
p~arently took it upon itself to serenade
the commander in chief. This old rec
ord brings to light that Valley Forge,
with all that that name means of priva-
lions and suffering, was the setting
where was staged what was undoubt-
eddy the first recognition in any public
way of Washington's birthday.
French First to Celebrate.
There is still another record of those
Revolutionary times which touches us
perhaps most poignantly today. To the
French is credit due for the first pub
lie celebration of Washington's birth
day. 1t was in February, 1871, that
COmte de ~Rochambeau, with true
French spirit, declared a holiday for the
French troops who were Their located
day fell that year on Sunday, so the
Frenche general specified that the fol-
lowing Monday be set aside for the
celebration of the birthday of his com
mander, whom he so highly esteemed.
1t was another of the many EVIL
dences of the close ties between France
and America which ex I'd in Revo-
lutionary times. 1t was on that mem
orable occasion that was first laid the
foundation of u national holiday.

Pyramid of Cheops Is
Still in Good Condition

Save for one surviving pyramid, the
seven wonders of the ancient world
have passed on. Not only have they
disappeared, but their memory is most
ly confined to the pages of old books.
Strangely enough, the one surviving
wonder is the oldest. 1t dates back
almost 1000 years before Christ, and
it is still in good condition. 1t is the
pyramid Of Cheops at Ghizeh, in
Egypt. The most notable thing about
the pyramid was the care taken to
protect it from grave robbers. All the
entrances were sealed. There were
several large chambers neal the base
of the structure built to mislead any
one seeking the sepulchral chamber.
This was 1873 feet above the ground,
and could be reached only by tortu-
Gus passages, cleyerly concealed.
The walls of Babylon were the sec
ond wonder. The third wonder was
the statue of ZeusTin the temple at
Ephesus. The fifth was the mausoleum
of H~alicarnassus, in Carla. The sixth
was the Colossus of Rhodes, and the
seventh was the lighthouse of Alexan-
dria at Pharos. 1t was Antipater Of
Palestine, the Baedecker of the an
world, who selected the seven
wonders about 200 years before the
birth of Christ.-Detroit News.

Ancient Light Built
on Cotton Foundation

The employment of cotton as a foun-
soil is a matter of common knowledge,
but the story of the first application
of the material to this purpose is not
generally known.
Dealing with the ancient light at
Leasowe, between the Mersey and the
Dee, difficulties were encountered in
the search for a solid base, and the
wreck Of a cotton ship offered an in
SEPARATION to the builders. Some Of the
cotton which had been washed ashore
was mixed with sand, and IN this a
massive stone tower was erected so
firmly that it was found to withstand
the fury of the mightiest tempests.

THE DATE OF
WASHINGTON'S
BIRTH

nLD records-what stories they car
- tell. Sometimes full of romance
sometimes startling in their disclosures
1t would seem that Washington's
birthday, observed for so many years
on February %, was a celebration
founded securely on accurate historical
facts. Yet buried in the family Bible
of Washington's mother and written in
her W handwriting is an entry which
makes one pause with surprise. There
h has clearly recorded the astounding
statement that George Washington
was born on February IL.
Certainly no one should know more
about this important event than Mrs.
Washington.
There it is in black and white in
her own handwriting:
George Washington, son to Au-
gustine and Mary, his wife, was
bore We 1.-the of February, 1882,
about 10 in the morning, and was
baptised the Sd of April following.
Mr.. Beverley Whiting and Capt.
Christopher Brooks, godfathers,
and Mrs. Mildred Gregory, god
mother.
Family Bibles, especially in those
times, were the last word in accuracy,
so this statement must be accepted as
indisputable.
By the latter part of the Sixteenth
century the calendar year had become
askew with the astronomical year. 1t
seemed important that a reimbursement
be made and Pope Gregory XIII, after
careful consultation with the learned
men Of his time, decreed that in 1852
10 days should be dropped and ar
ranged what has since been called the
Gregorian calendar. The mandate of
the pope vas followed that year by
Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, but
England would have none of it and
continued On the basis of the old cal
endar for another century and a half.
Difference of Eleven Days.
By 1852 in England the discrepancy
had mounted up to II days, and the
disadvantages of two systems of dates
was causing great annoyance. 1t was
necessary to date letters going from
England or her colonies to France with
the days of both systems; for instance,
February 1922. So at last to avoid all
this confusion England officially adopt
ed the G~regorian calendar and decreed
II days be omitted in the year
between September 3 and Septem-
Der IA.
SO for Washington, his birthday in
and all succeeding years fell on
February %.
But there is another record which
.hrows light on what was probably the
irst public recognition of his birthday.
time the record is in his own
handwriting. While commander in
'hief of the Continental armies, with
his other responsibilities and duties,
Washington found time to keep exact
ecords of all his expenses. These ex-
'ense accounts were several years ago
nade available by their transferal
rom the Treasury department to the {
-brary of congress where they were
with the great collection Of {
papers there. I

Washington became president
he was unwilling to receive
any money from the public

IaXatives
do not
constipation

TAXATIVES and cathartics provide temporary re-
Il lief only, at the expense of permanent injury.
In time, says an eminent physician, an almost in
calculable amount of harm is done by the use of
pills, salts, mineral waters, castor oil and the like.
Some laxat;ves, according to an intestinal specialist,
contain poisons which affect the stomach and intes-
tines, resulting in grave disorders. Certain laxatives
are a direct cause of piles.
Physicians Advise Lubricafion for Internal
Cleanliness
Medical science, through knowledge of the intestinal
tract gained by X-ray observation, has found at
last in fabrication a means of overcoming constipation.
The gentle lubricant, Nujol. penetrates and softens
the hard food waste and thus hastens its passage
through and out of the body. Thus Nuiol brings
internal cleanliness.
Not a Medicine
Nujol is used in leading hospitals and is prescribed
by physicians throughout the world. Nujol is not a
medicine or laxative and cannot gripe. Like pure
water it is harmless.
Get nd of constipation and avoid disease by adopt
ing the habit of internal cleanliness. Take Nujol
as regularly as you brush your teeth or wash your
face. For sale by all druggists.
