UNFIT PRINCES

Four Spanish princes are deprived of their birth
right and physical reasons.
Recently the Spanish Council of State decided that
the Prince of the Asurias King Alfonsos oldest son,
was in too fra health to inherit the throne It passed
up Prince Jaime, the second son. because he is deaf
and dumb, and pronounced Prince Juan the third
Afonso's successor Now it has gone further ruling
that both the third and fourth physically i'm
portant for the job, and the throne will pass Prince
Alfonso de Bourbon, nephew of the present king who
is of age and sound health.
This is a family tragedy, and possibly national
tragedy, but at the time a triumph Of common

than go through the forms of letting mental or ply
sical defective a kingdom, has often been
done in the past. 2
1t is another example, too of the decadence of roy
atty. Royal stock is nearly out in Europe as well
as Asia. That fact has much to do modern dem:
ocracy with the spread of consttutonaism, by which
modern kings and emporers usually do no more than
go through the motions of ruling, the actual govern
ment being in the hands of or less upsart sub
iects of better blood and brains.
Many people think that when President Coolidge
said he didn't choose, he was merely fishing for
nomination. when the fact probably is that he was only
choosing to do fishing.

e.oe.o There Are Three Generally
Accepted Tests of Healthfulness

DOCTORS say; "Drink Three Pints
Dof Water a Day." This is most
important. For water is primary
source of health when consumed in these
quantities daily.
But drinking water should first sat-
isfy three health tests. First, it must
be Pure. Second, it must contain min
erals-from 6 to 10 grains to the gal
lon. And third, it must be pleasant to
taste. Any water that will satisfy these
three requirements is good for you to
drink. And any water that will not
satisfy these requirements is below par
for drinking purposes.
Purity is your assurance that water ls
free from harmful bacteria or injurious
chemicals. Minerals in a water aid
Nature in maintaining the mineral sup
ply of the body. And good to taste
this means you will drink more water
and thus benefit from its hcalth-giving
v''y.

back there In Nebraska, she had her
children put in the wagon with her and
kept reassuring the other women.
Hardships of Trip
THE real hardships of the trip were at
the Platte river. We had to take the
wagon boxes from the running gear and
putting four boxes together to form 9
square and extra planks that we car
ried were placed across the ends to
bring them up higher SO the water would
not come in. The wheels n such
trappings were taken apart n loaded

onto the boats and the lighter stuff
piled On top. We couldn't take very
heavy loads, SO that many trips back
and forth were necessary in order to
ferry the outfit across. We were three
days getting across the river. We made
cars for our box boats from two-inch
planking carried with us. There were
many bars in the Platte river n thu
trip across the three-quarters OF a mile
of water was a protracted one. The
men would walk along on the bars and
help to pull the boats along, when we
reached them. We swan the stock over
after the cargo was across. When we hit
a deep current, we would catch the tail
Of a COW n hold on till we reached
the next bar. -
After hat we travelled on, striking
the North Platte at the mouth Of Ash
hollow, where Kearney fought the In
dians in 1856. The bones Of the horses
were still there.
"One Of the worst things we had to
endure was the alkali dust. Our lips
and mouths would be swollen and burned
raw from it, till our only relief would be
to put raw flour on at night to exclude
the air. The lack of fresh vegetables was
another hardship. At Soda springs on
Bear river. in Idaho, we got first
carrots and they were surely good.

two badly. They carried off the women

over the wagons, broke open the flour
sacks and feather beds, taking the ticks
of the latter for their tepees. Mrs. Lara
mic, one Of the party, was a photographer
and had a camera with her. This we
found smashed to bits. Laramie and q
nan named Wakefield were badly wound
ed by arrows. They had been found by
soldiers and taken to the military hos
pital on Deer creek, where / saw Laramie

an arrow wound. Turning to us, he said:

day by the soldiers.
Mrs Kelley was kept two years by

from the scene Of the massacre and
went into camp. Before night there
were 40 wagons in the circle. While
breakfast was cooking. seven men ane
two boys went out to bring in the stock
and to get ready for the start on the
