1t is reported from Washington

Congressman Roddenbery will be

Several days ago the judiciary
committee of the senate reported
favorabIy by a vote of ten to two
an amendment to the constitution of
the United States providing for an
election Of senators by the people.
This action followed a long agitation
in favor of popular elections for
senators. In Georgia when the po-
litical bosses, who are actuated by
whatever appears will best serve
their own ends for the time being,
will let them the people now choose
their United States senators.

CAVE FULL OF COPPER BELLS

Members Of the Archaeological
School of America have been keenly
interested in a story told by A. Hooton
Blakiston, president of Mexican de-
Eelopment company. who is one of the
most devoted archaeological students
# America.
On one Of his recent trips to his
headquarters at MazatIan he ran
down to Honduras to visit a so-called
sacred cave. This cave contains 500
copper bells, ranging in size from
button to large dinner bell and
more picturesque in design than the
bells made by any other known civil
zation. Each has for a clapper a
ball of pure copper, and no two have
the same tone. The cave also con-
tains several images which evidently
were objects of worship. Some of
these Mr.. Blakiston obtained
The most interesting of the bells
are in the form of fanciful faces Of

Die up Buried Treasure-

Spanish coins and jewelry, upon
which a valuation of $4,000 was
placed by the men who took posses
sion, were dug from under an old
Spanish fort at Anahuac, a small set
tlement in Double Bayou, which emp
ties into the upper Galveston bay.
Three men appeared some days ago,
and announcing themselves as oil
prospectors, sank several holes with
drills, then began digging under the
ruins of the old fort
y They found and removed a metal
chest about three feet long and IS
inches deep, which they said when
about to be arrested was the property
of the father of one of the men in
the party.
He produced a crudely drawn chart,
showing the fort and designating the
burial place Of the chest. The
stranger said his grandfather and
others buried the treasure when
pressed by Mexicans back in the
early '40's. They were permitted to
leave with the valuables.
A gold cross four inches long and
studded with precious stones is
among the collection of jewelry.-

all besieged him. Cakes they gave
him, and ices, and waters, and choeo-

were most pressing. and Archie liked
it.

BkBY'S ECZEMA AND B0ILS

MY son was about three weeks Did
when I noticed a breaking-out on his
cheeks, from which a watery sub
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also, and in few days became a solid
scab. I became alarmed, and called
our family physician who at once pro
nounced the disease eczema. The lit
tie fellow was under treatment for
about three months. By the end of
that time, he seemed no better. I be-
came discouraged. I dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use Of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in 8 few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven months
old, all trace of the eczema was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
boils which I cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During
the ume OF teeInlnS ana from the time
l dropped the doctors treatment, l
used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture of health
His complexion was soft and beauti-
full, and his head a mass of silky curls.
I had been afraid that he would never
be well, and I feel that I owe a great
deal to the Cuicura Remedies"
