landlord who announces that he will
not rent houses to women because they
are too particular. They want win

MUM MIES.


Many persons who have an interest
IN archaeology will be surprised tC
know that all the mummies 10 be seen
in museums have not been taken from
faraway tombs in Egypt or other east
ern lands. Well preserved mummies
have occasionally been taken from the
ruins Of the cliff dwellers in the noun
tain canyons Of Arizona and in New
Mexico and southern California. These
mummies, though very poor specimens
OF the mummifying art, are considered
great treasures by scientists. because
they give the anthrOpOlogist a vague
idea Of the strange people who had the
earliest civilization on the American
continent. The best Of them are al
most entirely ignorant Of who the
Aztecs and Toltecs were, how they
looked and lived and why they have
been 50 entirely obliterated from the
face Of the earth.
The reason for this ignorance is found
In the fact that no satisfactory remains
Of the dead AZtecs have been found.
These people were cremationists, and
they probably buried household effects
with the dead, leaving little or nothing
for the scientist to build a theory upon.
Frequently q party Of explorers in the
valleys of Arizona will come upon seal
ed jars Of burned bone dust.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

oy local appiications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caIsed by an
infamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rum
soling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inf1ama-
tion can be taken cut and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
