The cross Of the Knights of Labor
is distinction planned to reward
the merit of French workmen. 1t
is intended to honor workers who in
annual competitions may earn special
distinction for application, skill or
productivity.
A bill before the chamber of depu
ties authorizes the government to
prepare the decoration, choose the
color of the ribbon and announce
the establishment of the order by
decree. 1t authorizes the nomination
of one thousand knights 100 officers
and ten commanders.
There already are in France three
orders intended to reward achieve
ments in military affairs, teaching
and agriculture. Last year $50 in
dustrial workers were selected from
several thousand competitors as the
best workmen of France but the
government had nothing at it's dis
posal to give them as certificates
of their distinction.

Cut off from the world by two
months of stormy weather, two light
house keepers Mandolin and Feracci
mutilated Corsican veterans of the
world war, have been relieved at the
Pointe Du Raj light, one of the most
dangerous points on the French coast.
Mandolin has been there since Dec.
g. Feracci joined him Jan. 4, after
which for many weeks it was impos-
sibIe for boats to approach the rocks
on which the light stands. Their
supplies were just barely enough for
four weeks.
Repeated efforts to reach them
failed. In the meantime evidences
of the strain they were under de-
veloped in the irregularity of the
service The light failed several
times The fog horn was silent at a
critical moment, and the brig La Sur
prise ran on the rocks.
Finally, just before the last at
tempt to reach them, the flag of the
lighthouse was seen, flying at half
mast. A volunteer crew made an
heroic dash to reach the lighthouse
They got only close enough to get
a glimpse of both keepers, who,
though alive, appeared to be in a
state of great excitement. The boat.

Later the storm subsidized some
what for the first time in two months,
and a relief boat was able to get
alongside the lighthouse. The two
men were almost Frustrated from the
prolonged strain when they were re-
lieved.

King Georges proclacity for trav-
cling and appearing in public often
causes remark, even in these days
when hardly day passes when some
member of his much travelled royal
family does not journey to some pub
lie function.
The king is particularly fond of
appearing unexpectedly at football
games and other events which at
out any announcement of his inten-
ton he motored to Twickenham for
the rugby match between England
and France and the royal automobile
was caught in the mile long string
of vehicles moving slowly toward the
field.
King George reached the grounds
only a few minutes before the kick
off, but seemed to enjoy the ex-
perience of being caught in the traf-
fic jam at the gates. When his car
reached the entrance it was found
that all parking space inside was
filled While officials were holding
hurried discussion as to how to
provide for His Majesty, the king and
his party left their motor and pro-
ceeded into the field on foot. The
king took his place in the long line
of football fans, and the only dis
tinction made in his favor was that
the turnstile keeper passed him with
out demanding a ticket.

(By Dispatch A. p. wire)

LONDON, March 2O.-Many promi-
nent men in England have joined a
movement for simplified and phoe-
netic spelling. A petition is being
circulated asking the prime minister
to appoint a commissioner to con-
slider the question. Sir Robert Baden
PowelTs signature is first on the
petition, as he is vice president of
the smplified spelling society, and
he is supported by number of pro-
fessors in the English universities.
Conservative England has never
been enthusiastic about proposals to
sub phonetic spelling for the present
tangled photography 1t is recalled
that the late Sir Isaac Pittman,
whose name is connected with a world
famous system of shorthand of his
invention, also was an enthusiastic
advocate of phonetic spelling.

Get back
that lost weight!

When you start to waste away
to shadow, when the color
leaves your cheeks and your
poor, tired legs will hardly hold
up your weakened body it's high
time you started taking a fine
tonic and builder like Tanlac.
Tanlac will build you up and
make you feel that life's worth
living. Made from roots, herbs
and bark gathered from the four
corners Of the earth and COM
pounded under the exclusive
TanIac formula, Tanlac is just
what the poor, starved body
needs.
First Of all it cleanses the
blood stream and puts the di-
gestive organs in order. You
find, after a few days treatment,
that you want to eat. Pretty
soon the welcome color steals
back into your cheeks and the
scales tell you that you're gain
ing weight. From then on it's
only short time until you're
feeling fit as O. fiddle.
Millions of men and women
have taken Tanlac with great
benefit. More than one hundred
thousand people have written us
glowing tributes to this wonder
full tonic.
When you know it has worked
wonders for so many folks it's
