Chamber In Westminster Abbey Which
Was Once Treasury of England
Is Still Closely Guarded.
Few who explore Westminster abbey
are aware that there are many of its
most ancient and Interesting parts of
which they have never had a glimpse.
For instance, In the eastern cloisters
there is a door so guarded against un-
authorized Intrusion that It run only
be opened by seven keys, which tire
in the Jealous custody of as many gov-
ernment officials. Five of the keyholes
of this wonderful dtior, which Is cov-
ered with human skins, arc concealed
from view by a stout iron bur which
traverses it.
This door gives access to a vaulted
cltauilier. known as the t'Impel of the
1'yv the wiitt. of which were stand
lug ns they stand today before even
the Norman conquest landed in Sus-
sex. The chamber was once the treas-
ury of Kiv-lnnd, to w hich were brought
“the m«*st cherished p >s esslon* of the
slate.” The regalia of the Scottish
kings and the Holy Cross of tlolyrood
were deposited here, and for many
years It served ns a mint for coining
silver and gold. It w».s, centuries ago,
the scene of u during robbery, and to-
day it contain*, in addition to a atone
altar, some old chests, one of which
is said to have held the Jewels of Nor-
man kings.—Tlt-lUts.

Old Looks?
(BY DR X. H. SMITH)
Persons suffering from too much uric
add lu the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or bai
head in early years is, indeed, often a
sign of uric acid. The face.appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing in young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation Is of .he
simplest r Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, ns It Is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain nt
any drug store a package of Anurlc,
double strength, which Is to be taken
before meals, in order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful ef-
fects of backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, gout, due to uric acid in the blood
should quickly disappear after treat-
ment with Anurlc.
