The sums bestowed in charity b the.Ring exbeed •by it get lea1•the regular charit:kble donations of most of his subjects. The calls on the Ring's purse for charitable aid are indeed enormous. If his Majesty were to' respond to. all of these requests by giving even only as mud- as £i to each appli- us; tahe `woul'd have little left out of his income, and would be totally 'unable to meet. his necessary , ex- penditure, says -London Answers, On the average the Sovereign gives away probably about £54,000 1 a year in charity, though, of course, ' the actual .amount is only knew4eto a few members of the Royal house- ' hold. Under Royal Patronage. The King's charitable donations are divided into three classes. Regular subscriptions to charitable institutions, and gifts to various individuals, subscriptions to chari- table collections on special occa- sions, and occasional donations. The first category is a lengthy one, and•includes not only subscriptions to charitable institutions in this country, but .also : in his Oversea Dominions. The King, it may be pointed out has to be extremely careful have inquiries made as to the char stater and general management of charitable institution before givin a subscription to it. There are, a everyone knows, •a large number o bogus charitable organizations, a it is always the object of these t secure a subscription, if possible i from the King, for when this done it makes the work of gettin money from, other people compare blvely easy. Before, therefore, his Majest gives a subscription to any institu tion the character of which is no well known to him, he causes the most careful inquiries. to be made concerning it. At Christmas -time the King gives away about £10,000 in annual gifts made to various individuals. There are about fifteen hundred persons whose names are on the Ring's spe- cial Christmas. donation list. The names of these persons are recorded in a small, red -bound book in- the keeping of Lord Stalnfordham, and 'some few weeks before Christmas the whole list is gone through by ne of the assistant secretaries. It may happen that during the ar some of the recipients of the ing's charity have died or left the yountry, and their names are *';truck off the Iist, and possibly the names of some other persons may he substituted.

Postal -orders are then purchased for each person on the list who is to receive a money gift, and the letters with the money, are posted, 'las a rule, during the first week in December. Not `all the persons, however, on the King's special Christmas dona- tion list receive money gifts. Some re sent presents of clothing, or revision hampers, as may be }deemed most suited to the needs of eh, _ The Xing is, of course, the special object of the professional begging letter -writer, and hundreds of such letters arrive every day. � n ; In the private secretaries' de- partment where these letters are L• dealt with, two handwriting ex- perts who, in the course of years of this sort of work have become quite familiar with the handwriting of most of the regular professional begging letter -writers, and they uickly consign to the wastepaper askets all 'such applioations for he King's charity that come from ueh people. l Wiped if Deserving. Inquiries are aIwa *made in re- read to letters that COMB from peo- ,Ie who appear to. be in genuine listress and deserving of help, and hey are as far as possible aided; rut it is the experience of those in he Royal entourage that the per - on who writes to the King for help a not often in real trouble or wor- hy'of assistance. The sums given by the King to 7ecial collections for thesufferers i bigdisasters at the, end of every ear run iuito large figures.

' The'Ir,'.ciples governing the ori- gin and mode of occurrence of pe- troleum and natural gas are as yet but' fragmentarily grasped by geo- logists. Every oil field examined in detail contributes its data for use in `the eventual interpretation of the problems, and each pool is stud- ied!with keen alertness for the dis- eovpry of some key that may aid in th4 co-ordination of the data, which sctetimes, according to the region anald conditions, seem, on account of our lack of knowledge, even to be in conflict. The observations made by the geologists of the. United States geo- Iogical survey in the oil and gas fields of California, and- Kentucky promise to further the.solution of some of the problems; and by point- ing out the relations of oil and gag occurrence to the geological struc- ture of the regions examined they have rendered important scientific as well as economic aid in oil and gas development; but the basic principles controlling the widely - varied modes of occurrences in the kinds of oils in widely separated regions are possibly still far from -view.

My theory is that certain waste mat- ters, poisoning the nerves, are of- ten the cause of the disease, and by a prolonged fast these are removed.

As a boy I was accustomed to have ray mother use Nerviline for all our minor ' ail anehts, and remembering what confi- dence she had in Nerviline; I sent out for a bottle at once. Between noon and eight o'clock I had a whole bottle rubbed on, and then got into a pers. peration under the blankets.
