OLDER THAN THE CHINESE
Cliff Dwellers a Race That Nav Even
Antedate the Beginning of
Far Cathay.

Oder even than China, the Oldest
existing nation, are the cliff dwellings
OF southwestern United States, homes
OF race whose very name has per-
ished from the earth. Explorers, puz-
zling through the Mancos and Casa
Verde canyons of Arizona and New
Mexico, have found the houses of this
strange people in the widest and most
inaccessible of the mountain sides.
Did the cliff dwellers antedate the
pyramids OF Egypt? Were they of
blood relation to the early inhabitants
OF the land where the Nile is god?
Some students are prepared to answer
both questions afIirmatively and to
give what is to them abundant proof.
The pottery from their long wrecked
homes suggests Egypt, and the few in
scriptions found have similar sugges-
tons. Mummies. bodies wrapped in
cloth, feathers from the breast of the
turkey have been dug from burial
places among the cliffs, and. in bone
and hair much unlike the Indian OF
to-day, there is hint of resemblance
to a more oriental type. If the cliff
dwellers left any descendants. how
ever remote, they are doubtless the
Mol1i and Zuni Indians, who, resem-
bling them in habits and appearance.
are their closest kinsmen.

New Cure for Consumption.

A novel cure for consumption has re-
Gently been discovered by DR. Canu 43
Rue Fontenelle Rouen, France. The
patient is first placed upon the operating
table, where the usual saline solutions

which had been fastened to his breast
and back. During this time sparks can
be drawn from any part OF his body. This

end of a conical-shaped tube in his
mouth. Into this tube is put a little

GAVE TOBACCO FOR WIVES
