Churches. Should Advertise.

That church should advertise like
any other organization is the belief
Of the Rev. Christian F. Reisner, pas
tor of Grace Methodist Episcopal
church, Denver, which is advertised
all over the country as "a homelike
church." Other pastors agree with Mr.
Reisner4hat the church should be adj.
vertised. '"To bring heaven down to
earth, apply religion to present day
needs, to emphasize the present rather
than the future life, is my conception
Of the duty of the modern up-to-dat
church," said Mr. Reisner. But how
may these aims be attained except by
becoming force in the world? And

Only Makes a Bad Matter Worse.

Perhaps you have never thought d
it, but the fact must be apparent tc
every one that constipation is caused
by lack of water in the system. and
the use of drastic cathartics like the
old fashioned pills, only makes a bad
matter worse. Chamberlain's Stomach

move any distance from land in these
clumsy and unseaworthy contriYances.
Consequently, when the question
arose as to what race was advanced III
navigation in that early time when
these monuments were put up. the
answer naturally came that the eni-
race known to be race of sailors ana
merchants then was the race Of the
Phoenicians.
And if they were the Phoenicians
how did they come to reach America:
They had colonies 'on the islands Of
the western Mediterranean and even
in the islands OF the Atlantic ocean
as history proves. 1t is not hard to
imagine that they may have found
their way to America. Some archae
ologists are even willing to believe
that they reached America by way OF
the lost Atlantis, that legendary con
tinent that is now sunken somewhere
in the Atlantic ocean, If it ever ex
isted
At any rate, the theory that the
Phoe nicians were the erectors OF the
mOnoliths of the world to cOmmemo
rate discoveries or for religious pur.
poses still later on gained strength
through the discovery of a great up
right stone near the river Loire, which
has Phoenician words engraved deeply
on it. Translated. these words say.
ION this spot was slain our brave com
rade."
In San Luis, in Bolivia, is one of
these stones, which has on it the en-
craving of a foot printed and a snake
with its head raised. The footprint Is
well known Phoenician symbol of
death and is found on many stones
thar cover ancient Phoenicfan burial
site3. And the snake with head raisej!
is another acknowledged Phoenician
emblem. Exactly the same symbols as
those on the South American stone
have been found on stone in central
France.-New York Press

MYSTERY OF THESE STRANGE STONE

4 Theory That All of The IN, Those on
the American Continent ms We'll rs
Those In the East, Were Built by
the Ancient PhOenicians.
Among the greatest mysteries in the
| mystery of the past human history on
earth the monolitlls that stand III vari-
GUS parts of the globe have always
been chief
These strange stone monuments, gen.
orally rude, with hardly any sculpture,
but wonderfully large in size, are scat
tered everywhere. The most famous
of them are the cromlechs, such as
those in Stonehenge, in England. 9th
ers are found in the western part Of
France, in the northern part of Ger
many as far as the Oder river, in Den
mark and in Sweden.
Northern Africa, Madagascar and
Asia from Mount Sinai and the eau
casus to India, all have some here and
there.
Lately they have been discovered
even in Siberia. There are several
places in Japan where such stones
stand
Others have been found in North and
South America. Among the most won
derful and mysterious of them all are
the vast, almost terrifying, stones,
rudely sculptured that have been
found OH Easter island, in the Pacific
ocean.
The mystery as to what these stones
greatest puzzle was how primitive peo-
pie, without knowledge Of engineering
and without known appliances, could
have moved and erected such giant
blocks, some of which weigh as much
as go tons. In many districts where
no stones of such size to be found in
the earth. Consequently they must
have been transported from places long
distances away
For many generatiOns-ever since
men have spent any time in thinking
over these matters-scientists have
puzzled their heads over the monoliths
in vain. Whether they classed them as
all being the same or whether they
divided them into different classes.
they remained the same riddle
In more recent years, however, there
has been systematic study Of all the
monolith memorials of the world, and
as Il result a novel theory has been
advanc cd.
1t is that one race-that of the
PhOeniGianS-crccte all these nonu-
mcnt$.
OF course if this is correct it means
that history will lave to be revised,
for it would show that the Phoen:c:,tns
once knew all about the whole Siohe
and shat they had visited America and
Asia long before modern days.

sumption that the Phoen clans had
raised the monuments was the OijSer-
