OLDEST LAND IN THE WORLD
According to Scientists Our Earth
Had Its Origin In the Lauren
tian Highlands.

Stretching across Canada, north of
the st. Lawrence, and ending in the
regions about the source of the Mis-
sissippi. is range Of low granite hills
called the Laurentian highlands. These
hills are really mountains that are al.
most worn out, for they are the old.
est land in America, and, according
to Agassiz, the Oldest in the world.
In the days when there was nothing
but water on the face Of the globe,
these mountains came up-a long is
land Of primitive rock with universal
ocean chatting against its shores None
of the other continents had put in
their appearance at the time America
was thus looking up. The United
States began to come to light by the
gradual uplifting of this land to the
north and the appearance of the tops
of the Alleghenies which were next
in order. Later the Rockies started
up. The United States grew south
ward from Wisconsin and westward
from the Blue Ridge. An early view
of the country would have showed a
large island which is now northern
Wisconsin, and long thin tongue of
this primitive rock sticking down from
Canada into Minnesota, and these two
growing states looking out over the
waters at the mere beginnings Of
mountain ranges east and west. They
were waiting for the rest Of the Unit
ed States to appear.-The Atlantic.

any druggist has them-and go on eating as
best pleases you; don't worry about results
The double chin and ponderous stomach will
soon show signs of melting away. They will
not sag in wrinkle. however, just go down
nice and smooth and even. That effect is
due to the harmless natural action of the
mixture.
This is explained as follows: Blame over
fatness to the stomach 1t is getting lazy.
Instead of making energy and muscle from your
food. it is manufacturing fat The above
mixture corrects this defect and hence it
makes you stronger and healthier at the same
time it is taking off of you u to 16 ounces
of useless fat a day. The reason it affects
double chin, hips. etc, first is because the fat
on them is softer and can not resist the rem

ually all the fat has to so if you keep up the
