iy Thousand Years Old.

Norfolk, Va, June 1.-The romantic
times Of Pocahontas and Captain John
Smith are wildly recalled by the In
dian relics dug up IN grading the
streets at the jamestown exposition
grounds. The site selected for the eel
ebration of the three h%undredth ami.
versary of the first permanent English
settlement in America was once an In.
dian village occupied by the Powhat,
ans, the most powerful tribe of the ear
ly American Indians, who roamed over
the country east of the Ohio river
three centuries ago.
The Powhatan Oak.
Near the State Exhibits building
stands a majestic live oak tree, the
Powhatan oak, estimated to be near
ly 1000 years old, which was a fav-
orite camping ground of the Indians
before America was discovered by the
whites. Here were held councils of
war when the only weapons in use
were stone hatchets, stone war clubs,
spears with stone points and bows and
arrows. The arrow heads used were
made of flint, Clipped down to a cut
ting edge, almost as sharp as a knife,
every arrow head representing many
hours of hard and patient work with
the crude implements then in use.
Arrow Heads With History.
Scores of these flint arrow heads are
being found on the exposition ground,
in eXcavating for streets and buildings.
Some of them are broken, many, per
haps, having been broken by striking
some foe of the Indians in battle or
some wild animal. In those days the
woods about Hampton Roads were
alive with deer, bear and other animals,
but it is most likely that these broken
arrow heads came into contact with
some human beings, for at Sewell's
point, where these relics were found,
were fought bloody battles between the
early English settlers and the Indians
and, according to old Indian traditions,
this point was also the battle ground

The Motor Boat of the Future

Steam yachts are fast becoming a
drug on the market and many million
aires are disposing of theirs at greatly
reduced prices and replacing them with
larger motor boats. Experts believe
that before long there will be gasoline
boats afoat at least two hundred feet
long. Experts in medicine long ago de-
cided that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
was the leader among remedies for the
stomach, liver and bowels, and from q
standpoint OF merit, reliability and
cures was far ahead of any other medi-
cine. 1t has been this assurance that
persuaded thousands of sickly people
to try the Bitters, with the result that
they nave since enjoyed better health.
Don't take anything but Hostetter's

MUNICIPAL OwNERsHTP.

Did you notice what a big figure
municipal ownership cut in the city
elections Of the country this week? Not
only in Kansas was his true. but wher-
ever municipal ownership was an issue
throughout tbs nation it was victorious.
A few years ago municipal ownership
was scoffed at everywhere except in
Populst platforms. It was almost dis
creditable to favor it. and its advocacy
laid one open to the charge of socialism.
Now it is extremely popular. It is no
longer socialism, but only good govern
ment.
In a considerable number Of Kansas
towns, including Topeka, municipal
ownership is already in vogue In three
other cities, Clay Center, Ottawa and
Larned. municipal ownership was up
for endorsement or rejection Tuesday
and in all three it won by heavy ma
j~orities. In a fourth town. Minneapolis.
it was the principal issue in the cleo
ton of a mayor. and the municipal own

publicans and Democrats were pledged

In Chicago the people were allowed to
express themselves directly on the

lines The question came up on three
propositions. one was to issue certin-
Gates amounting to not more than So

What's a Good Potato?

Most people. I suppose. take it for
granted that the best potatoes are the
ones that contain the most starch,
says a writer in the April Garden
Magazine. On the contrary. it is the
ones that contain the most gluten, be-
cause gluten is an albuminous food.
and starch is much cheaper than al
bumen-
Now cut a potato open and we shall
learn something worth knowing about
this gluten.
First comes the skin of the potato.
In a new potato it is thin M clear;
while a eorky skin indicates a mature
potato and one more likely to be
mealy.
Second is a thin layer varying from
one-eighth of an inch to one-half an
inch in thickness. This is the gluten.
Third comes the largest part Of the
potato-the starch. If this is very
dense the potato will be mealy, but If
n~on-uniform the potato will be of poor
quality.
Fourth is the very center of the
tuber hich contains little starch n
a great deal of water. If this area
branches out into the starch the po-
tato will not be a good cooker.
