THE GREAT SPHINX HOAX.
(New York World


Recently there was published in a
reputable English periodical. the
Sphere, and subsequently republished
in many American journals, a circum-
stantial account with illustrations Of
the remarkable discoveries" made by
Prof. G. A. Reisner. the Harvard
archaelogist, within the Sphinx. Prof
Reisner was represented as having
unveiled a series of hidden temples
within the natural rock of which the
Sphinx is formed" one of them in the
very head of the sculptured effigy.
1t happens that at the time OF the
alleged discoveries" Prof. Reisner
was making archaeological investiga-
lions in Dongola, remote from Egypt.
In his own words, he never excavat-
ed in or at the Sphinx, never intended
to excavate in or near the SPHINX"
and has mo intention of doing So"
His categorical denial brands the
Sphinx temple" story as the baseless

The New Treatment With Fresh Air
and Antiseptic Vapors That Does
Away With Injurious Internal Medi-
cines, Flannel Jackets and Chest
Protectors.
Every mother is a doctor when it
comes to treating the annoying little
cold troubles that all children are
heir to. The only trouble is to know
what really is the best thing to do.
Some mothers keep the children in
doors and make them wear chest pro-
tectors and heavy fiannels. This
method deprives the children of fresh
air and exercise they need and the
heavy clothing keeps the pores of the
skin open and really makes them catch
cold more easily.
A few mothers neglect these trou-
bles entirely and this often leads, in
after life, to chronic catarrh, weaken
ed lungs. etc.
Most mothers keep on hand a for
midable array of bottles and are usual
ly dosing one or more of the children.
This method is probably worse than
the others as most cough medicines
contain alcohol and some form of
opium and are very injurious TO the
delicate stomachs of the little folks
After all. colds are simply inf1am-
nations of the lining of the air pass
ages just like sunburn and mosquito
bites are Inflammation OF the skin We
don't dose the stomach to cure sun
burn but we have had to dose the
stomach for colds because there has
been no way OF applying a direct ap-
plication TO the air passages except
in the form OF vapors. And while the
old yapor lamps gave off the needed
vapors, they required ths room to be

He was out Of breath, painting like
tired dog-and perspiring. He had
made a great run for it. but missed
the train. He could not get another
carrying hi INTO his destination for
several hours. and much depended up
on him reaching his destination at the
earliest possible moment. So he was,
naturally, out OF humor. Likewise, and
naturally, too, he fumed and fretted
and was disagreeable generally. great

paratus.
But all the Tuning and fretting in
this world would not recall the train.
Profanity would do no good. though
he reeled off several notes in B flat.
could enable him TO get aboard the
train and reach the objective point
"on time" So his profanity was use
less, his fretting and Tuning an injury
to him, his ill-humor a detriment TO
sane thinking. He was powerless 10
correct the mistake he had made, or
the mistake somebody else had made,
which prevented his reaching the sta
ton at the proper time.
Common sense ought to teach us
the folly of worrying over such things
or even being annoyed by them. If il
would bring back the train and enable
the man to get aboard it, one could
see the wisdom of his butting down
an iron post with his head, or doing
anything else. But under the circum
stances, when butting down an iron
post would only injure his head, GER
tainly the man would have been a fool
to indulge in any such procedure.
Now, in one way or another, we are
missing trains all the time. That is
We are being disappointed, just as the
gentlemen in question. Things are go

ter they have gone wrong, cannot be
corrected-no more than the train
could have been recalled. And many
of us are Tuning, and fretting, and
getting worried over things that &C
wrong with us just as the fellow did
at missing his train.
And, after all, what's the use? Does
cider improve it's toothsomeness by its
Tuning, fretting and fermenting? No
it only works itself into an ugly and
nauseating state.
There is no telling how long a mar

The Palladium

The Palladium:
l saw, as a news item in the Palla-
dunn of Saturdays issue that the
Richmond City Water Works plans
the issue of 100000 additional stock
for the purpose of taking up the cor
porations present bond issue, to pro-
vide treasury stock and to meet the
expenses of the various improvements
contemplated.
/ deem it of the utmost importance
that this action be thoroughly looked
into and it's possible meaning fully
determined.
/ have said repeatedly in former
communications upon this subject that
it Is incredible that a corporation Of
the Richmond City Water Company's
repute, should contract a bonded in
debtedness of $250,000, and allow those
bonds to come within six months of
falling due without making some pro-
vision in the form of sinking fund,
to pay that debt. l cannot believe that
the Richmond City Water Co., placed
SO small a value upon, their credit
standing as to fail in making such pro-
vision.
What are the possibilities involved
in this stock issue?
II the company has not provided a
sinking fund to pay off those bonds,
the people of Richmond should not be
held responsible, as they, the company
paid out as dividends what should
have gone tinto sinking fund to re-
deem those bonds, in so doing they are
perpetuating a debt, nurturing it as a
matter of fact, that it might be a fixed
charge against the earnings of the
plant. Again by converting this bond
ed Indebtedness into stock they exact
from the people of Richmond an in
crease of per cent ON $250,000 as the
bonded interest is per cent while
the utility law permits per cent and
authorizes rates adequate to provide
s per cent making $500 a year addi-
tional revenue to the company to be
paid by the people.
Another possibility. If the Richmond
City Water Works have provided a
sinking fund to pay the bonded debt
and is hiding the fact from the public,
it can readily be seen that $3.50, 900 of
the 100000 issue will be watered
stock for the bonds will be redeemed
by the accumulated sinking fund.- then
hand out to the stock holders $3.50, 900
of stock upon which not a dollar will
be paid, producing the bonds, redeem
ed by the sinking fund, to add color Of
validity to the transaction thus issu-
ing $250,000 of watered stock on the
plea that 1t was issued to provide mon
ey to take up the outstanding bonds.
This transaction should be stopped
until after May LIST that the utility
commission might act thereon.

Pine tar from the south, menthol

products without having to use the
cumbersome vapor lamp.
A druggist in North Carolina dis
covered how to combine these pro-
ducts in a salve by a special process
so that they were vaporized by the
heat of the body when applied over
the throat and chest. This patented
process is the only secret about this

lature passed bill directed at the cigar

ter of the measure. The anti-cigarette

The penalty for a first offense in viola

Tragic Death Of Young Bridegroom.

Roy lett. a native of Page county. Va.
who had been making his home in Charles
Town for about year. was instantly
killed Tuesday evening when the big
smokestack at the Berryville Ice Plant
fell upon b m. his neck being broken.
The Clarke Courier says:
Yourg lett, who was scarcely 81 YEAR,
of age, had been working with Mr.. Ed.
S. Aliens well-drilling forces for about
year past. aad for the last three months
had been with James Fe.tner, who had
the contract for drilling the big we'll at
the Ice Plant.
Yesterday Jett's wife and her sister
came up from Charles Town TO spend
the day with friends. and her day OF
pleasure was turned to sadness in mo-
ment
It seems that Jett had lifted" the bit
from the well, placing block of wood
beneath it. probably to examine it. The
heavy bit topped over, and, seeing it
falling, he jumped clear from its path.
In its fall it struck one of the heavy
.euy" wires bracing the smokestack with
sufficient force to tear the stack loose on
the opposite side and itteppled over upon
him. He possibly never knew what
struck him.
The young man was a sober. industri.
Gus ard reliable worker, and was held in
high esteem by all who knew him. and
his death comes as a sad shock, not only
to his relatives. but to many friends
A pathetic feature of the case is the
fact that he had been married less than
month, the wedding taking place IN
Charles Town the first week in April.
The deceased was son-i law of Mr.
D. w. Hyett. of this place. and his BODY
was brought here and inferred in Edge
