the perfect wife as follows:

of everything
Marry girl who is a bit of a

with girl willing to sit even on
back benches with her husband.

You Must
Sleep.

If YOU cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congested state OF
the brain, which will soon de-
velope into nervous prostratlon.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; 1t
is a part Of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of Inconsistencies relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex-
hausted vitality.
DR.. Miles Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because 1t
soothes the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev-
ery nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength,
and vitality as surely and
quickly as DR.. Miles Nervine.

The ruins are composed of three groups of temples and forts, ani encompass total area of about two miles. From recent discoveries it IS believed that the original build ings extended much further. The most imposing structure of all is an elliptical temple. a massive pile built entirely oi small granite blocks maSoHed carefully together.
 The oldest portion of the walls are IS feet wide at the base and s feet across the top. Despite the wear and tear of centuries the walls stand now from s6 to 3r feet high. The entrance, to the temple are all narrow and defended by buttresses. The interior k divided into inclos. ures or courts, and in one of these stands 6 solid pile of masonry so feet high, evidently shrine of worship. From a story printed tn the Dawson News.

In fact, for every purpose where men use tin and brass and copper today, the people of Ophir used pure gold
 Zimbabwe is believed to be what is left Of a colony of the ancient empire of Saba (Sheba), over which the beautiful Queen of Sheba ruled in the early days that Solomon ruled in the temple before they met and loved. It was in its day the gold purveyor of the world. To its borders came Caravausarles from the tarotf shoies of the Dead Sea, from the Mediterranean Sea, from the shores of ancient Greece and from the empire of Solomon to secure the precious stuff with which the colony was supplied to satiety.
 The colony fourshed and Sheba was the richest queen Ill the world. Down in the desert and jungle of W hat is now Rhodesia a city sprang up whose wonders of architecture aid construction ale marvels to this day. Temples of beauty and grandeur approaching the one in Jerusalem; pallces, monoliths, and houses whose equals were few, arose in the wilderness, conjured into existence by the most powerful force in the world-gold. Around it ali there arose a wall of granite builded so solidly and well that to- day MT. Hall is able 10 uncover it practically untouched by the sands and storms of centuries.
 The existence of this wonderful city of ruins in the heart of Africa was first known ir I5ro. In that year Arab traders found their way into this region and brought back tales which the early Portuguese heard and gave to the world. Then the ruins were still standing nearly intact. but no white man ever pen etrated the country to gaze upon them in this state. From then the ruins were lost sight of until 1868, when Adam Renders, aa intrepid elephant hunter. followed his native hunter far into the continent and rediSCovered them By this time the sands of the desert. carried by the winds of hundreds oi years, had swept down ard luricd them.

THE GOLD OF OPHIR
Discovery in Africa Believed To Ruined City Once Ruled by the Beautiful
 Queen of Sheba.


 fish archaeologist, has recently re turned to London after two year: spent delving into the ruins o what is supposed to have been the City of Ophir of biblical times. Hi: researches are said to have settled to the satisfaction of scientific mel the location of the mines of King Solomon and the wealth of the kingdom over which ruled the beautiful Queen ot Sheba. For two years he and his African assistant. have labored in isolated Camp Havilah, in the heart of the Great ZimbabWe, ou behalf of Sir Willian III Milton. administrator of Rhodesia
 The ZimbabWe country is located in South Mashonaland, i'll a region of sand and jungles, huudl eds oI miles from the outposts of civiliza- tion. Here Mir. Hall has lived with scarcely the sight of a white face save the occasional Portuguese ivory or slave trader who finds bis way into the iuuermost recesses of the dark continent, eXCavating and discovering ruins, until now his life work is practically completed and the source of Solomon's wealth is secret TO longer.
 In the ruins of an old city MT Hall 1as found evidences of wealth of gold even beyond the dreams of the many who have lost life and reason on tue sands of Sahara and in the juugles of Mashonaland searching for the gold of Ophir.
 Apparently gold was the most common thing i'll this city. The floors of the houses were built of it, and the utensils of the home, cook ing pots, drinking cups, food bowls and knives were all made of the precious metal. All the ornaments found in the ruiEs are of gold and of excellent design and make.
 When the maiden of ancient Ophir wished to be considered well dressed she twined ropes of golden beads about her neck. wore a girdle of the solid metal, and her hair was caught up in combs of massive size.

Milwaukee Road Will Meet

MOTOR CARS TO BE USED

oecln, ia Tlmes- Republican,

Special to Times Republican,
Davenport. Sept. IA gasoline mo-
tor cur Is to be put in operation, by
tho Milwaukee road, between Daven-
mort and Clinton to compete with the
i. & L. electric line. This Is the state
ment that comes from one who Is con-
ycrsanl with the affairs of the rail-
road company and there seems to be
little doubt but that cars will be OPP
Grating between the two cities before
snow flies.
Il has been known that the railroad
companies have been contemplating
such a move, or one similar for several
months past. The electric line has
made serious inroads on the passenger
business, according to reports and the
only question that has arisen in regard
to competition system ls whether It
could be made to pay.
1t is understood that the new car or
cars will be similar in construction to
"a line that Is operated near Omaha
under the same circumstances. The
cars OF course will run over the rail
road tracks between the two cities
and the schedule can be so arranged
that It will interfere but very little
with the service OF the steatn trains.
In fact a schedule that would send n
car over the line every hour and half
or two hours would not interfere with
the passenger and freight traffic In the
least
1t is stated that the line In oper-
alton south OF Omaha Is making big
success or the experiment and that the
system Ia able to run its cars at u
speed OF fifty miles an hour.
The motor car system was intro
duced In the east several years ago but
1t Ia yet practically an experiment and
Is In operation In comparatively few
places. especially In the west Within
the past year, however, the railroad
companies have been having the mo-
tors tried out with a view of using
them OH their tracks and have found
them practical.
