Local autoists are OF the opinion
that anti-skid tires are Just as nee
essary IN sping as In fall and winter
and practically all the touring cars
are being equipped with these tires.
Four skid tires are not necessary on
a machine. II the driver sits on the
right side then the best disposition
OF the anti-skid tires is one on the
right front wheel and one on tho left
rear wheel, but II the driver drives
from the left side then vice versa.
During the rainy weather OF spring
many OF the big machines skid in
making sharp turns and as a result
number OF accidents generally oc-
cur. To prevent these accidents the
local autoists are equipping their cars
with the anti-skid tires.

HEART RIGHT.
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble.
The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an I'M
expected thing and can be corrected If
taken in time and properly treated. A
man in Colorado writes:
Il was a great coffee, drinker for
many years, and was not aware of the
injurious effects of the habit till I
became practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and
a nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings
Il continued to drink coffee. how.

cause of my ill-health, till on applying
for life insurance l was rejected on ac-
count of the trouble with my heart

most part the stones lie just where they fell.
In its entirety this section Of the city must
have presented an imposing appearance, being
literally forest OF columns surrounding and
connecting the various courts. AS to the use
Of these great colonnades, tradition and his
tory equally silent, Some think that they
were the law courts of the ancient city, where
justice administered and punishment
meted out Others say that they were the
market places where the produce of the sur
rounding country was bought and sold. This
latter explanation has one strong recommends

the present Maya Indians still hold their mar
kets under the portals surrounding the plazas
in the towns and villages throughout the coun-
try today.
South of the Cenote Grande there are a num-
Der of welpreserved structures, most of them
presenting beautifully sculptured facades To
these fanciful names have been given, which
probably have little or nothing to do with
the original uses of the buildings One large
structure, for example, has been called The

a round tower, with but one exception the
only structure of its kind in the Maya area
This is called The Caraco" Caracol is the
Spanish word for snail, and since the interior
circular corridor and spiral stairway of this
structure bear some remote resemblance to the
convolutions of a snail shell, the name was
applied to the building. The Manios Spanish
Tor monastery is perhaps the most beautiful
building at Chichen liza. 1t is composite

The above are only few of the many struc-

so far advanced that these once splendid pal
aces and temples are now but little more than
shapeless mounds OF fallen masonry. The total
area covered by ruins which may be assigned
to this center of primitive population has been
estimated by some as high ten square miles
That larger Maya cities yet remain to be dis
covered now seem highly improbable so thor
oushly has the general exploration of the area
been done. Consequently we may affirm with
but little hesitation that The Holy City of the

THE SIGH FOR LEISURE

Lives there the man who has not sighed for
leisure? And lives there the man who in his
more sober moments, has not been honestly
glad that he must work? Human nature which
sweetens under toll, sours in leisure. And it is
by no means sure that the fall from innocence
which first brought work into the world and

guised as labor Faithfulness will dignity and

ECZEMA TORTURES
INSTANTLY RELIEVED
Cured by an External Treatment

You are remarkably fortunate If you
are without some skin trouble 1t may
be only pimples or blackheads, or
chapped hands, or the accidental sore,
cut, scald, burn or boil, or the car
buncle or felon, or perhaps the more
erythema, seborrhoea, or psoriasis, or
inf1amed piles, or some common irrita-
ton of the skin. There is one stand
ard sovereign remedy within your
ready reach, and which you can pur-
chase at any druggists. 1t is Resinol
Ointment, put up in screw-top opal
containers, selling at fifty cents and
a dollar according to size. 1t Is ever
ready for use, and as easy to apply as
cold cream or Vaseline. Thousands Of
physicians enthusiastically prescribe
Resinol Ointment, and hundreds OF
thousands of families depend upon it,
and are never without it, Resinol
Soap is a chemically pure toilet soap
Of the highest grade. 1t contains in a
modified form the same medication as
Resinol Ointment, and is recognized
as a preventive for many skin
troubles, including blackheads, chap
ped hands and pimples. There is moth
ing better for the cleansing of the
scalp and shampooing. 1t prevents the
falling out of the hair. 1t is the in
fant's soap, par excellence, keeping
the skin sweet and healthy and pre-
venting many of the troubles which so
often attack the delicate skin of the
child. You will find the Resinol Oint-
ment and Soap at all druggists.
