1t has been estimated that some
thing like twenty million Egyptian
mummies have been discovered.
Thousands of those best preserved
are now in the showcases of the var
lous museums of the world. In the
tombs with the mummies were count
less other objects. There were paint
ings on the walls, chairs and tables.
jars containing the parts of the body
which were removed when the num-
my was prepared, mummy cases gau-
dliy covered with funeral scenes and
hieroglyphic inscriptions, and in the
cases along with the mummies were
papyri Beneath each mummy's head
like a cushion, was little disk of
clay or papyrus, covered with mytho-
logical pictures and with a sterotyped
hymn. The disks, found in great
numbers, are nearly alike, varying
only slightly with the period from
which they come. "Hypocephali''
they are called, because they were
placed beneath the head. Like the
mummies the objects found with them
have been scattered abroad, and in
the museum at Cairo any tourist may
purchase as many of them as he will.
The inscriptions on the disks and
the mummy cases, of course, could
not at first be read, nor could the
NEUROLOGICAL pictures accompanying
them be understood until the inscrip-
lions could be read. However. in
1893 the famous Rosetta Stone was
discovered. and Champollion, a
French scholar, began the slow proc
ess OF deciphering its hieroglyphic in
scription with the aid of the accom-
panying Greek translation. The pro-
cess was so slow that it was not until
1871 that grammar of the Egyptian
language appeared. Then the prog
ress in the study of the language was
rapid; the strange hieroglyphics be-
came as intelligent as an English
newspaper.-Christian Herald.

A Wonderful Tonic
That Aids Digestion

Thousands are unable to digest GER
tain kinds of food In most cases it is
not the fault Of the food, nor the stonl-
ach. It is probable that the stomach
has been abused. Many resort to pre-
digested foods and various kinds of
medicines to get relief from dyspepsia,
indigestion and heartburn, but without
permanent benefit.
If your stomach was in perfect con-
dition, you would not need medicine to
digest the foods you eat. Jayne's Tonic
Vermifuge is stomach regulator. tt
gets the stomach in such a condition
that 1t will digest food without other
assistance. It overcomes the acidity
and stimulates the coating of the
stomach and intestines so that thay
win properly absorb and assimilate the
nutriment from the food eaten. duff
ferers from dyspepsia and indigestion
will find permanent relief in a short
time after beginning the use of the
tonic. For children, the addition of a
little sugar will make it most pala-
table.
Many forms of supposed indigestion
are the result of intestinal parasites,
for which Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is
unsurpassed Insist upon Jayne's: ac.

The Cravings Of Children.

In the February American Maya
zine DR.. Woods Hutchinson begins a
new department called Health and
HORSEPOWER. On the subject of chill
dren's appetites he says in part
Every one of the cravings which
we not infrequently see in the aver
age child, for sugar, or green apples,
or butter. or cake; yes, even for dirt
and shoe-leather, are simply due to
his having been starved of some ele-
ment in the unbalanced and made
quate ration on which we have COM
PEELED him to live, whether he liked
it or not
when the child is allowed to grow
up as a few children, thank Heaven.
are now beginning to be allowed to
grow up, with freedom to indulge his
own natural instincts upon a wide va
riety of good, sound, wholesome nu-
tritious food, it is promptly found
that the things which the child real
ly likes to eat are meat and milk and
butter and sugar and fruit and ice
cream and the clean crusts of bread
and hard crackers; in other words,
exactly the things that he most needs
and must have in his daily business
of growing up.
When he has been fed and in
dulged' like this the child can be
trusted with a candy box on the table
all day long and an unlocked pantry.
Starches and cereals are all very well
to grow guinea pigs and horned cat
tie, but they are not at all the things
needed to raise human beings on.
If your child has developed an
abnormal craving for anything or
even marked tendency to gorge
himself to his injury upon any par
ticular food, it is because you have
starved him, and you ought to be
ashamed of yourself instead of scold-
ing him.
