81 KNOW MY WORK IS DONE"
COOLIDGE HAD WRITTEN IN
LAST OF PERSONAL LETTERS
Wrote Another Friend He
Seemed Tired, Most
Of The Time

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. CUP)
"A letter that seems almost n
prophecy of tragedy was receiv-
ed Wednesday from Calvin Cool
idge by E. T. Clark, secretary
for years to the former presi-
dent.
In it Mr.. Coolidge discussed
t he coming administration of
President-elect Roosevelt and the
vexing problems he must face. 1t
concluded:
81 know my work is DONE"
Half an hour before Mr.. Cool
idge's death, the National Press
club here received from the
former president a check for
S5.50-his dues as an honorary
member for the coming year.
The check will be framed.
When the National Press club
constructed its present building,
Mr.. Coolidge, then president,
laid the corner stone and later
dedicated the structure. Bascom
Timmons, president of the club,
received his last communication
from Mr.. Coolidge three or four
months ago. The club was pre-
pairing a new year beck and Mr..
Coolidge along with other men,
bers, has asked to make any
necessary corrections in his list
ing. :,
Promptly the reply came back
and opposite his name he had
written: Northampton, Mass,
and glad of it."
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. (UP)
After learning yesterday af-
ternoon that Calvin Coolidge had
died, Col. f. w. Startling, of the
United States Secret Service re-
ceived letter from the ex-
president in which he said he
seemed tired most of the time.
"He told me that lately he
had never felt rested" added the
colonel, who was one of Cool
idge's closest friends. "This
country lost faithful servant
in his death and 1 have lost a
loyal friend"
1t was Col. Starting who taught
Coolidge to fish and hunt.

Ten thousand children are enlist
ed under the banner of Ben Hur.

The junior courts affairs are I'M
der the general supervision of a
junior mentor chosen by the senior
court
Children from birth to age Is are
eligible to become Ben Hur Juniors
and there has been much competi-
ton among courts for the honor of
the youngest Ben Hur Junior. Long
ago the record had gotten down to
less than a day. Then it became a
matter of hours, then of minutes.
The latest report comes from La
VeIle Stearns, great-granddaughter
of Mrs. Leona Kimmel, member of
Arrius Court No. 5, indianapolis.
LaVelle was born at the Methodist
hospital on Feb. %, and at the ten
der age of 10 seconds her applica-

Junior order was completed.
The Ben Hur Life Association pre-
sents to every mother of a Ben Hur
Junior less than 2 months old a
beautiful baby book in which to re-
cord the important events in the
child's life.
When Ben Hur Juniors arrive at
16 they are graduated into the SEN
Tor court at a special ceremony and
receive a graduation pin and diplo-
ma.
The life insurance provided for
Ben Hur Juniors includes all mod
ern features of juvenile protection.
The Ben Hur Juniors meet twice
a week in the Woodman hall, 322

Crazy Crystal Business
Shows Steady Progress
Water Is Great Help to
Maintain Health, Says
Distributor,

For several years, Henry Thomas,
state distributor for the Crazy
Crystals product, has enjoyed in
creaSing business. Following his
first introduction of the mineral
water to this city, he has moved
into two establishments, each time
to larger place. Recently Thomas
moved from ia East Washington
street to 142 North Pennsylvania
street.
The demand for Crazy mineral
water is a natural one, he says, in
asmuch as thousands of individuals
need its assistance to relieve the
body organs of detrimental acids.
All the minerals contained in Crazy
Crystals, he asserts, are essential to
health.
During the last fifty years at
Crazy Wells, Tex, there has been
in eXistance a large laboratory
equipped to test the value of mineral
water found in the nation. Since
its establishment the work has de-
veloped into evaporating the origi-
nal Crazy water direct from the wells
into crystal form, and at the same
time maintaining all it's valuable
properties.
That is what you buy today from
Thomas-a small box of Crazy
Crystals, enough to make fifteen
gallons of water Identical with that
taken from the wells in Texas.
If you are troubled with rheuma-
tism, stomach trouble, high blood
pressure. faulty elimination, or
other similar ills, try Crazy Crystals
for relief. Today millions over the
country are finding complete salts
faction by drinking their way back
to health, and that means drink
plenty of Crazy mineral water,
daily, says Thomas.

P0PE'S SMALL
ARMY MADE UP
OF -FOUR CORPS
Military SpIendor More
Than 0verShadoWS Size
of Force.
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN
United Press staf Correspondent

VATICAN CITY. April 1.-THE
Papal State has its own army. It
contains four corps and what it
lacks in size it makes up in mill
tary splendor.
The pope's army is used less as
police force than as a ceremonial
soldiery on celebrations and high
church functions.
II is divided into four corps,
namely, the famous Swiss Guards,
the Gendarmes, the Palatine Guard
and the Noble Guard.
Number Now Is 100
The Swiss guard originally were
200 strong at the beginning of the
sixteenth century. Their number
has varied and now is under 100.
The gUardsmen are recruited from
the Catholic cantons and they serve
for three years. Service is to a GER
tain extent traditional and heredi-
tary to certain Swiss families
The most aristocratic and eXclu-
sive corps is the Noble guard. 1t is
composed of princes, dukes and
other noblemen of the Catholic
aristocracy about 400 in number.
The corps is not kept fully mobil-
lied, but a certain number are on
duty daily at the doors of the popes
apartments.
Formed in 1901
The corps of the Noble Guard is
of comparatively recent creation as
papal organizations go. 1t was
formed in 1901 by Pope Plus VII,
taking the place Of the old light
cavalry then suppressed.
When the Pope emerges from his
apartments and goes for his walk,
or drive, in the Vatican gardens,
he usually is accompanied by a
noble guard, who follWos the Holy
Father at a distance.
The Palatine guard number some
400, and are modified for service
in the papal anti-chambers and on
solemn occasions and festivals.
Instituted in 1850
They are recruited from among
devout, Roman Catholic families of
the middle classes. The corps was
originally instituted by Plus TX in
1850
The gendarmes really form the
official police of the Vatican.
The corps was founded in 1916
by Pope Plus VII and called papal
caribineers. The gendarmes are
attached to the Pope for personal
service, but their chief task is the
protection and policing of the
Vatican palaces.
Since the creation of Vatican
City State, a small corps of plain
clothes men drawn from the gen
darmeS has been established.

ELIMINATION OF
WASTE is COAL
OF D|ST|LLERS
Many By-ProduCtS Result
From Manufacturing
of Alcohol.
BY DAVID DIETZ
Scripps- Howard Science Editor


The Chicago packing house that
once boosted it made use of every
part of the pig but its squeal, set
the slogan of the machine age.
This elimination of waste in
manufacturing processes is one of
its chief aims. The machine age
is an age of by-products. A good
sample of that is the manufacture
of alcohol.
Alcohol is a chief topic of CONVEX
sation these days and the natural
affinity of certain alcoholic products,
and ginger ale is too we'll known
to need comment.
But it probably is not known that
the manufacture of carbonated
waters is really one of the by
products of the manufacture of
alcohol.
OF course, the reader must re-
member that ethyl alcohol finds its
greatest consumption in industry,
not whoopee parties. Only sulphuric
acid and caustic soda surpass it in
number and variety of industrial
uses.
Pure Yeast Added
Ethyl alcohol is made from the
fermentation of sugars. It's chief
source is sugar cane molaSSes. Corn
is the second most important source
in America. Sugar beetS are used
for the manufacture of alcohol in
France, while potatoes are used in
Germany
Molasses from the sugar mills of
Cuba is brought to the United
States in tank steamers similar to
oil tankerS. 1t is then transferred
to storage tanks.
In the alcohol plant the molasses
is diluted with water to which a
little acid has been added. PuTi-
fed yeast which has been grown un
der conditions to eliminate contain
ination by bacteria then is added.
Gas Is Released
The yeast causes the fermentation
which changes the molaSSes into
alcohol.
During this process, carbon dioX-
ide is released. This carbon dioX-
ide is not permitted to go to waste,
however. It is collected, purified
and stored in cylinders under pres
sure. 1t then is used for the man
ufacture of carbonated waters and
for the operation of soda fountains.
This carbon dioXide also finds an
other important use. Biscuits and
cookies manufactured in this coun-
try for shipment abroad are packed
in alright tin cans To insure fur
ther the safe-keeping of the prod
ucts, the free spaces within the
cans are filled with carbon dioXide.
Residue Is Burned
The fermented mash, which re-
mains after the yeast has done its
work and the carbon dioXide has
been removed, then is put into a
still and the alcohol distilled from it.
The. residue left in the stills is a
thick sirup This then is burned
in the furnace. The resulting ash
contains about IS per cent potash
and as a result has ready sale
as a fertilizer.
