When you get a note nowadays written

that your correspondent is up 10 the very

whatever is written upon IL is all but in

popularity. Even red ink fails somehow 10

novelty in dirty brown, and black simply

paper, and you have a cryptic that might
defy the combined detective powers OF
Ignatius Donnelly and Sherlock Holmes.
Some styles Of khaki note paper have
narrow border in white, blue, red or black;
others are unadorned. All are equally hid

ton-the sooner the better. No one In her

DR.. Meyer recommends the use Of castor
oil in the treatment of neuralgia in doses of
one or two ounces before breakfast He
finds that it is most agreeable taken in
ale, and in this form is less likely TO dis
order the stomach. At first the oil acts
freely on the bowels, but If it is continued
daily it's cathartic effect rapidly diminishes,
SO that after the third fourth dose nor
NAL intestinal action is re-established. It's
curative action is probably due to some
special ingredient. for other cathartics are
of no value.

You are right. Varying estimates Of the
age of the mounds have been made, but
the growing tendency is to regard them
as not of great antiquity. Scientists find
little or no good reason for regarding any
of these remains as antedating the Chris
tan era, and think it possible that the
final destruction of the mound builders
towns may not have been more than
few generations before the discovery of
America by Columbus. The culture of
these people was strictly Indian in char
acter. and faint traditions of them were
found among the tribes who held those
regions at the first coming of the whites.
