Their fellow undergraduates stu diously avoided taking any special notice, although several week-end parties were formed to visit the rival university of Oxford, in order to in dulge in a "gloat" of pride at the possession of two royal "freshers Oxford had the smile over Cam bridge a few years ago, when the Prince of Wales was in residence there, but Cambridge has the longer Hist of recent royal undergraduates. King George, himself, did not go to either 'varsity, but the late King Edr ward and his father, the Prince Con sort, as well as the late Puke of Clarence, were all Trinity students. The two princes will follow the customary university course, but Prince Albert will work on special lines, making a particular study of toistory, economics, civics, and french. He is a captain in the Royal Air Force, and is particularly proud of his pilot's "wings." He has an aeroplane of his own, and will probably spend most of his spare time -flying from -the neighboring aerodrome. Prince Henry, a quieter, and none too strong youngster, is eredited witn (the determination to excel at ath 3etics, being very keen to get a place oa his merits in either the college boat, the cricket eleven or the foot ball team He performed fairly well at athletics at Eton, and has just passed through the Royal Military college, having been given a second lleutenancy in. the King's Royal Rifle (Oorps.

SUBSCRIBE FOR THE DAILY PIONEER SUFFERED SINCE HE WAS A BOY Hawley Had Been in Health for 20 Years Restored by Teniae for hassol beeni 1 Poor "I have been in bad health for over twenty years and my condition has gradually been getting worse all the time, but about a month ago I 'Commenced taking Tanlac and now I feel like a different man altogether/' said William Rowley who IiveB at Deer River, Minn., while in Abbott's Drug 'Store in Duluth the other day. "As far back as I can remember," -continued Mr. Howley, "I have been bothered with stomach trouble and indigestion. Even as a small boy I would often have spells of sick headaches after meals, and would have indigestion in the worst way. As I grew up I gradually got worse until I finally reached the point to where everything I ate would cause me to suffer something awful after wards. Those terrible headaches kept up, too, and some times the pain was JSO severe it would almost drive toe wild. This trouble just kept on until I was just about all in, and had to lose a lot of time from my work. .Handling lumber is no easy job, and I was simply took weak and run down to keep at it. "Finally Tanlac came along, and to tell the truth, I had very little tfaith in it, but I thought I would try a bottle of it anyway, and that iirst bottle did me so much good that just kept right on taking this Won derful medicine. The wore Tanlac I took the better I got, and now I am in better condition in every way than I have been since I was a boy Six years old. I haven't had a head ache since I took my first bottle of Tanlac,-and my "stomach is"uTsucfi ihwconditiow that I can eat just anything I want and I never suffer any afterwards. It is simply wonder ful to feel like this after suffering for twenty long years, and a medi cine that will do that much for a man deserves all the good things that are said for it. I have gained eight pounds already, and am so well and strong that I am^ getting ready to go back home and get on the job again. sleep like a top every night now, and I feel so fine every morning that I just knew I can get around and handle as much lumber in a day as any of the boys.

The high cost of living was just as much a problem In Elisabetlum times as It is today. The Rev. William Har rison, as quaint a gossip as Pepys, and equally gifted _as a chronicler, com plained that magistrates in his day winked at merchants who charged more for commodities than they were permitted by law to charge In that day, as in this, "bodgers"this delight fully descriptive word is of the domi nie's own coiningwere allowed "to burn up corn and raise the price of It to carry It home unsold, or to a dis tant market, if they want more money than the buyer likes to pay nay, they've leave to export It for the ben efit of enemies abroad, so as to make more profit During the world war there much talk of certain Americana who deliberately destroyed carloads of po tatoes, cabbages and other vegetables and foodstuffs In order to raise the prices of these commodities. Same old story. There's nothing new, remarks J. N. H., In Rochester PoBt-Bxpress. Again, to hark back to good Canon Harrison, "pesterlferoos purveyors buy up eggs, chickens, bacon, etc. butter men travel about and buy up butter at farmers' houses, and have raised Its price from 18d to 40d a gallon.

The other day L*w Hahn, executive secretary of the National Retail Dry Goods association, took the joy out of life for the experts of the bureau of Internal revenue when he asked whether corsets were underwear. Now he has gone and done It again, the query this time being: "When does a girl become a miss?" Framers of the new revenue tax law Included In the list of taxables "wom en's and misses' wearing apparel." Ex perts of the bureau, Mr. Hahn says, have Informed retailers that no tax is to be collected on wearing apparel for girls. Retailers say there are hundreds and hundreds of misses, and quite a few married women, who are so petite that they can still wear, and therefor* buy, girls' clothes. Does the fact that such articles of clothing are to be worn by women of mature years change the na ture of the apparel In the eyes of the law or do garments designed for girls remain girls' wear, regardless of the age of those who buy and wear them? This Is the puzzle Mr Hahn has put up to the bureau experts. Subscribe for The Pioneer. You save enough money at this purchase to give your child a full course of piano lessons. '''Ml' 1 II1 2 ''f.
