I London, Feb. 4 It costs $60 a day to guard King George from any possible attempt at assassination and since the recent recrudesenee of militant anarchy In London, it is probable that the.addl tlonal precautions to preserve his ma jesty's life will be considerably In creased. Kverv dav at 9 o'clock In the morn- ire' two detectives are detailed for the duty of watching over the safety of the person of the sovereign for a certain number of hours. During the time they are on duty they : must be continually . i. . C t-l ... -;...,. I. In - near me nuig. "iicn mo nmjcoij ,w in doors, they remain in the passage close to the apartment In which the king may be In. When he goes out driving or riding, or to keep any public or private engagement, his majesty's guardians al ways follow their royal cnarge at a short distance. Elaborate and careful as the precau tions taken to safeguard the monarch are, they are carried out so unobtrus ively and secretly that those in tne royai entourage or even the king himself, seldom have the slightest idea of the whereabouts of the detectives. The "chief Is the only member of the detective staff at the palace with whom the king' comes Into contact and It Is doubtful if his majesty even knows the appearances of many of the others. The "chief" is always kept Informed, as far In advance as possible, of the king's movements and lays his plans ac cordingly. : Btootia Work Quietly. The two detectives acting as personal guardians to the sovereign are Instruct ed by the "chief" of the king's move ments and directly his inajecty leaves the palace they follow the royal car riage. The detectives are always well disguised and their plans for keeping guard over the sovereign are constantly being changed and altered and are, of course, kept strictly secret. They man age their business very cleverly, for without attracting the least attention they always keep a close watch on the sovereign's safety from the moment his majesty leaves Buckingham palace un til he returns. The detectives who guard the king at night go on duty at 9 o'clock ln the evening; If the king dines out, one of the detectives remains on duty In the house where the king is a guest until his majesty leaves. This rule was not observed when the late king used to dine, with Lord Knol lys In St. James' .palace, but on such occasions there was always a detective on duty outside Lord Knolly's residence. When the king becomes a guest at a house party, a room is provided for the detective staff In the apartments set apart for the reception of the sovereign and his suite. All the passages at Buckingham pal ace are constantly being patrolled by members of the detective staff and the personal apartments are also visited by the detectives from time to time. Windsor Castle Is, however, the most elaborately guarded royal residence. When the klngjs in residence at Wind sor there are usually from 20 to 25 de tectives on duty. Every entrance to the castle is watched by an armed official and throughout the long corridors and passages there are always several detec tives on duty. These elaborate precau tions are made at Windsor castle chiefly because, it can be entered more readily than Buckingham palace. There are sev eral secret entrances to Windsor caBtln, whereas there are none to Buckingham palace. The king In this country goes about more freely among his subjects than any other sovereign Is able to do, but nevertheless, his majesty Is at all' times very carefully guarded. Derivation of Bom Peers. In view of the possibility that the houm of lords may In the near future be deluged with 500 new peers so that the government program may be put through parliament and the outcry about the degradation of Britain's proud peer age, It Is interesting to note the deriva tion of some of our noble houses. The Dukes of Et. Albans drew their line from th "merrle monarch," and all his royal forefathers, it Is true; but our peerage books would not know them If saucy and winsome Nell Gwyn had never peddled oranges ln Drury Lane, and the first duke was equally kin to, sovereignty and the slums. His grace of Northumberland is heir, on the distaff side, to all the glories and splendors of the Percles. By male de scent he Is no Percy, but a Smithson, whose forefathers drove the plow and tended sheep ln the north country. T'm Duke of Leeds we owe to the enterprise that drew the footsteps of one' Edward Osborne to London town from his paternal cottage in Kent somn centuries ago, and to the accident tlut won him for bride the heiress of Wil liam Hewitt, his master, after rescuing hpr from the swollen waters Of the Thames. The Marquis of Salisbury Is the latest of a long line of distinguished Cecils, great statesmen and polished courtiers; hut we should scarcely know him today if his ancestor, Christopher Gascolgne, had not ventured t& London when a boy and climbed the civic ladder to its top most 'rung, carrying- his money bags with him. . - The Marquis of Bsth owes his family name" to a remote forefather who kept the inn at phurch Streeton and thus identified himself as "John o' th"Inne" (In later days 'Thjrnne"), and whose an cestor, seven generations back, was nn under forested ln Shropshire. And the Marquises of Ripon owe their fortune to a shrewd line of Robinsons, who for generations served the good people ;if York behind the counter. When we de scend to earls we find the commercial strain ever stronger. Earls Cromer and Northbrook (with the two baronial lines of Ashburton and Revelstoke) had for founder one John Baring, son of a poor German parson who came lo England a couple of centuries or So ago to make his fortune, and who, after coming to grips with poverty, was able to open a small cloth factory near Exeter. Descendants of Goldsmiths. The Earl of Dudley draws blood and wealth from one William Ward, who left the Staffordshire cottage ln which he had been cradled to learn the' craft of goldsmith In London, and to reach the goal of his ambition when Queen Eliza beth made him her jeweler. The Earls of Jersey are similarly Indebted to Fran cis Child? another prentice lad of the following Tentury who served behind th rounter of William Wheeler, Jeweler and goldsmith, under the shadow of Temple Bar. The founder of the noble line of Car- rington, barons, viscounts and'earls, was a modest tradesman, one John Bmth who, ln the seventeenth century, , dis pensed dress lengths and tapes to the ladles of Nottingham without thought or care for such baubles as titles or peerages. . ; ,.. . " The Earls of Warwick have on their family tree such exalted names as Ne ville and Plantageneb end many another proud name of feudal days; but by far the most important of their forefathers was William Grevllle, a prosperous wool stapler of five centuries ago; and Sam uel Dashwood, who, from being a city apprentice, found a fortune ln wines, and lived to drink Queen Anne's health as London's lord mayor Just orjsr two cen turies ago. The original Spencers, from whom the ducal linn of Marlborough and the Earls Spencer derive their 6rlgln, were no me diaeval barons of Norman strain. They were Inst Dlain. homelv farmers, who Ullled their lands and bred fine cattle In Warwickshire. The foundation stone of the Capel (Enr,!s of Essex) fortunes was well and truly laid by ope William Capel, who tramped to London from his poor Suffolk home to see for him self If it was true that its streets were paved with gold. Much gold rewarded his quest, though the pavements yielded none; and he was Sir William and lord mayor be fore he was laid to rest. His son proved himself a doughty knight on French bat tlefields, and wedded a daughter of the old feudal family of Roos of Belvoir. The Earls of Radnor .would have been unknown today If a Flemish youth, Lau'r renoo- de Bouverles, had never drifted to. Canterbury, fortune seeking,-In the days when Elizabeth was queen, and uy hs shrewdness and hard labor, had not made his pile as a turkey njerchant. It was one Godfrey Fielding, who served behind a mercer's counter n lllk street, ln the days, of .Henry VL who founded the noble family of Denbigh, Just as Godfrey Boleyn (who, a - few years later, succeeded Fielding as lord mayor), made the fortune which led to a crown for his great-granddaughtel, Queen Bess. Gilbert Heathcote, who, from serving customers I In the city of London, became Its 'chief , magistrate, has an honored place on the family trees of Viscount Down and Lord Aveland.

(From the American Drug Reporter.) "Eczema on the head and scaTp Is a common occurrence of a most common disease, and It is to be regretted that most retnediee for eczema which pro duce cures when other parts of the body are affected fail to give good re sults when used for eczema on the head. "The new drug qulntone is different JrOin other eczema cures offered to the public, for It proves an excellent remedy for all forms of salt rheum, tetter, ring worm, psoriasis snd similar skin dis eases, and purchasers report that 'they can feel it heal.' "As eezama on the scalp causes annoy ing Itching, dandruff and falling hair,, the sales of? qulntone are rapidly in creasing snd It Is probably the most popular 'home treatment' known.
