The Index will have to keep stand ing for a time an announcement to, the effect that 11 will not publlah any patent medicine advertisements. 'This policy has been In f n 1 1 force and effect since last December. At that time an announcement was made of the ohnnge, but lots of dealers and some ethers have overlooked the fact. To he real holiest about It, not even the doctors of the community "took notice". But this Is aside the Issue. Such ad vertisements arc not carried In the In dex.

Originating as a separate lnstltu tion about the time of the Chicago ex position, and for a time more or leas popular In many of the larger towns and smaller cities of the country what Is known as the carnival or street fair has about run Its course through inability to find a sufficient numlter of towns closy enough togeth er to stand for it, and It Is well. The typcnl carnival is closely akin to what is commonly known as the "mid way" at a county fair. It is made up of an aggregation of various klndH of shows, some of them resnect al h\ sonic not, and all kinds of catch penny schemes, gambling devices, Im moral exhibitions and the like. The original plan of operations was to Interest some local fraternal or ganisation, generally the strongest and most influential In the town, the local fire company, the board of trade : or any other public or semi-public ! institution that could be taken by the ? hope of a good percentage, and play ! the town without license and backed ; ill > by nil the local Influences that could be brought to bear. It was common In the early days to inahgu ! rate n voting contest for a ring or i some other trinket to be given to the "most |K>puh?r young lady." and oft en n whole community was worked up j to a blub state of enthusiasm that i | operated in the Interest of the show j ; people. j Been use of Its nature. the carnival I I irame was one that could seldom be j worked twice in the same community ; with equal success. The whole thine | was too transparent. There were too j many people with sufficient Intelll I ire nee t<> realize how they were being i taken in by becoming involuntary i sponsors for thinly disguised Immor ! sility, gambling sanies and extremely ! doubtful methods generally, under | ?rc tense of help for various worthy causes. 1 Town authorities became more and I more reluctant to admit such aggrega I tions under any pretense and after a 1 time most towns refused to tolerate 'thrill at all. even on the payment of straight license. j During . the past several years the I quest ion of admitting carnivals lias been the occasion of controversies be tween the citizenship and councils of various towns throughout South Caro lina and -adjoining >ftt.tes, and often i these cont roversiN^Tiia ve been so heat j ed as to cause much feeling and last | Inir enmities. In most cases the citi zens have won and the carnivals have been tabooed : but still there are towns that cannot resist the blandishments of these people and the end Is not yet.

LAND OK BIBLK HISTOKV No Oilier People l*on*e*H UimIh Of Such Wonderful Interest. Washington, March 20.~~In a paper tell I life something of the wonderful his tory of 1 1??? lands over which Turkey lias rifled for many generation*, pre pared for the National Heogf&phlc Society, William Joseph Mhowalter gives Home interesting facta which or dinarily escape attention. lie reminds the reader that except wl. en Paul uud Ids associate crossed the Hellespont to Athena and Home, the entire Wide story, from (Jenesls to Itevelation, was Mved In what haw been Turkey, and calta attention to tne fact that the great Km pi res of the oust, the civil isations of the Kgyptlaus and the Phoe nicians, the glories of ltyzantiuin- all were planted on what has been Turkish soil. He also shows how Klug Sar gon, ruling at the v^ry dawn of his tory, congratulated his empire upon his success in bringing down the hlnh cost of living. Ili? says, in part: "No other people possess lands of such wonderful historic interest as the Turks. Occupying u region only a third as grout In area us the tJnltcd States, they have yet a territory with in whose boundurlcH the greatest, the most Influential events in human his tory have occurred.* "The Bible, with little exception, Is an account of the doings of i>eople who never got beyond what have hith erto been the confines of Turkey. Prom a single corner of the Ottoman Eni plre arose the Babylon that in its day all but ruled the world. From that saipe region levy and famine conspired to send the children of Abraham Into Egypt, which until recently was em braced in the empire of the Ottomans. Thence, as they marched back from \ Africa to Asia, through the wilderness J of f&lu'to the Promised Land, they nev er once set foot ofT of what came to be Turkish soil. And when the Star of Bethlehem arose It stood over 11 manger, on land that Is now Turkish ' soil. "In Asia Minor once dwelt Croesus, j whose name to this day expresses the J last degree of wealth. Ilerc was Per , gamus, whose library In Its period was j the finest in the world, making such demands for pay r us that Ptolemy was led to prohibit the exportation of that "qn:' commodity from Egypt. Under, the reign of the Caesars, Asia Minor alone; contained r?0() populous cities, enrich ed with all the gifts of nature and adorned with all ?iiie refinements of i art. "The civilization ( J' tlie Hlttltes, whose lands finally were occupied by t Tie hosts of Israel ; the civilization of Tyre ^ind Sidon, the urea test coloniz ers of ancient times; the civilization of Egypt. rival of IVrsla and fhaldea In the value of the heritage It be queathed to the future; the civiliza tion of tCoujitantinople and the Byzaii tine Empire, in its day more gorgeous than any that had gone before ? all found their home within the bounda ries of what afterwards came to be the land of the Turk, Mohammed, and the religion which bears his name, and now claims several hundred mil lion adherents, were also born in the I Ottoman Empire. "The .greatest of these ancient em i pi res was the Babylonians. The Baby lonians built their civilization upon an irrigation ditch and made Babylonia a land teeming with people, the seat of magnificent cities, and the home of a world- conquering empire, Babylonia rivaled the valley of the Nile produc tion. Every <5 reck traveler who wan tiered that way marveled at the lux urloiisnesK of the crops of Mesopota mia. Even Herodotus hesitated to tell the story of Its fullness lest the peo I pie for whom he wrote history might I regard him as a nature faker. The hanging gardens of Babylon stirred the admiration of the west, so that they wrote them down as one of the seven wonders of the world. Nebuchad nezzer built them for his wife. Amy tls. the beautiful Mode, to rescue her from her homesickness for her native Median hills. "King Sargon, though he lived at the dawn of history, reviewed hla reign much as a president of the T'nit ed States or a great European sov ereign might review his official career. He tells us that he restored ancient ruined cities and colonized them; that he made barren tracts of land fertllo ; that he gave his nation a splendid system of reservoirs, darns, and canals; that he protected the needy from wa ut,| the weak from oppression, filled the nations with corn, brought down tlie high cost of living, and found new markets for the nation's produo* ? ^rr J x xP* "Babylon's fortifications ar' Vx have had a circumference p the outer wall of which'* high and feet thick ? s Hargon II covered e' - its front was twl' ^ 0&1 17.* TThlfed states capiroir rortyei#ht ? /reat winged bulls guarded Um m* trances, and ujk.ji its wall* were more than two miles of sculpt ured ; shj bs telling the story of the klng'H reign." ?

The I'nited States Department of1 .Agriculture, the state hoards and the; experts all over the country are urging; the farmers of America to cultivate j every available acre during the com- j Jng year. The war in Europe assures the sale of almost everything that can be raised. Every article that is ex ported to feed the soldiers and the citizens and the stock of Europe means just that much less for homo con sumption, therefore, even with ' bigj crops of everything, the prices will l>c ; high. If it is not a good crop year the farmer will at least raise enough for home use and will not have to pay the high prices that will prevail.
