Bible Does Not Mention
Names of the Wise Mem

The names of the ''wise men from
the East" who followed the star of
the newborn Jesus to Jerusalem
and Bethlehem are not given in the
Bible. Neither does the Bible men
ton the number of wise men, nor
their nationality. Early churchmen
fixed the number at three, probably
because the Biblical account men,
tons three gifts-gold, frankincense
and myrrh, writes Flora MacFar-
land in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A tradition as old as the Second
century (resting on Psalms LXXII:
10, and Isaiah XIX: y refers to
the three wise men as kings, and at
a later period the names Melchior,
Gaspar and Balthasar became at
tached to them. Melchior means
liking of light" Gaspar, "the white
one," and Balthasar, "the lord Of
treasures" The first king offered
gold, the emblem of royalty; the
second, frankincense, in token Of
divinity; and the third, myrrh, in
prophetic allusion to the persecu-
tons which awaited the Child.
Many Bible scholars suppose the
three wise men to have been Magi,
members of priestly order of an
cient Media and Persia. Medieval
legend calls them the Three Kings
OF Cologne, and the cathedral there
claims their relics. They are COM
memorated on January 2, 8 and 4,
and particularly at the Feast of the
Epiphany.

Foot Has Two Arches

Because of its design the foot has
long been recognized as a special
lied organ for mans upright car
riage of his body. In construction
the normal foot is a finely designed
and highly efficient structure per-
fectly planned for its function of
weight bearing, shock absorption
and locomotion. If only single
block of bone were positioned be-
meath each leg to serve as foot,
walking would be very much of a
peg-legged performance. But ma
ture, as in many other ways, has
adapted the organ to meet mans
needs. 1t is of extreme importance,
therefore, that measures be taken to
protect and preserve this most nee
essary and efficient structure from
mechanical defects and disabling in
fections.

Low Prices In Georgia
Boost Tobacco Control
Continued From Page One)


an emergency referendum and there
by set UP control of this years mar
keting quotas without waiting until
too late to do anything about the 1910
crop.
Dr. Poe forecast that in general it
will be the higher grades of tobacco
which will suffer the biggest drop in
price this season. The manufacturers
of the higher priced cigarettes, cigars
and smoking tobacco are already
pretty well stocked up, he said, fact
which will make competition for the
highest grades relatively dull
On the other hand, manufacturers
of the medium and low priced Gig
arettes are apparently not so we'll
stocked, with the result that they will
be in the market for quantities of the
weed. AS a consequence, prices for
this kind of tobacco are likely to hold
up fairly we'll, he prophesied
But no matter what happens in the
matter of prices this season, DR.. Poe
is convinced that there must be some
form of control over production and
marketing if the tobacco farmers are
not to suffer ultimate and overwhel-
ming disaster.
He laid repeated emphasis on the
fact that this seasons crop gives all
indications of being far in excess of
