AMERICAS PROFILE ROCKS

In the southwestern United States,
where there are many evidences OF
the existence. long years ago, of an
earlier civilization than anything OF
which we have a record or even ira
dition. the question is often asked by
travellers whether many of the nu-
merous rock faces were not possibly
cut by the hand of man. Some of the
profiles are so striking In their re-
semblance to human faces as to well
warrant the inquiry. If the sculptur-
ing may not have been entire, rock
forms suggesting heads might have
been hewn by some ancient stone-cut-
ter into more perfect expression 1t is
difficult. indeed. to believe that the
work in some cases is entirely that OF
nature. While no iron or steel imple-
ments have been found in America, 1t
is we'll known that the Spaniards upon
their arrival in Mexico and Peru, es-
pecially in Peru. found houses con
structed of perfectly hewn square
stone blocks of large size
Pleasant Park Profile rock in south
ern Colorado is of gigantic proper
tons and shows an exact delineation
of the human face, the compressed
lips. the aquiline nose. the eye. the
prominent frontal bones projecting
over the eyes and a fairly high fore
head.
In this Bad Lands of South Dakota
the action OF storms and the fierce
winds driving the loose sand grains
against the face of the soft rocks has
wrought the most fantastic natural
shapes in the United States, il not in
the world. Long years ago this entire
area was a level plateau-the floor of
an ancient sea which later hardened
into stone. AS the waters receded,
river and creek channels cut their
way through the old sea floor, forming
gorges and gulches until at the pres
ent time large part of the plateau
has been entirely removed. The Bad
Lands are the largest remaining por-
ton of this ancient plateau, although
there are still isolated fragments in
Nebraska and North Dakota The Bad
Lands. however, though small com
pared with the original plateau, con-
stitute hundreds of square miles and
are examples of the most remarkable
natural architecture.

THE KNOW HOW
To Feed Children and Get Good Ro-
suits.

There are more nervous persons
made 20 by undigested food lying in
the stomach than the average indi-
vidual would suppose.
IL food remains undigested in the
stomach, 1t begins to ferment, set up
gas and large portion is thus con-
verted into poison.
That's why inperfectIy digested food
may, and often does, cause irritation
of the nerves and stupor of the mind
brain and nerves are really poisoned.
my daughter had complained for
some time of distressed feeling in
the stomach, after eating, which set
me thinking that her diet was not
right" writes an anxious and intelll-
gent mother.
"She had been fond Of cereals, but
reading the account of this predigest-
ed food, it seemed reasonable to try
Grape-Nuts for her case.
"The results were really wonderful.
The little brain that seemed at times
unable to do its work, took on new
life and vigor. Every morning, now,
before going to school, she eats the
crisp little morsels and is now com
pletely and entirely well, she seems to
have new lease on life-no more
distress in the stomach, nor head
ache, but sound and well everyway."
