FAMOUS OLD MEXICAN CITY
Sightseers Look Upon Mitla as One of the Chief Points of Interest
 In the Country.

Among the many ruined cities of Mexico dating back to antiquity is Mitla, sof unusual interest to the sight seer. The name is a contraction or corruption of the word Mictlan, mean ing the place of death" The modern village and the ancient ruins occupy the center of an arid plain or valley, surrounded on all sides by equally arid hills, on the highest summit of which are the well-preserved re- mains of a great fortress, whose walls are of rough construc- tion and without ornament of any kind. Nearly in the center of the plain five great groups of buildings stand out completely exposed. Many of them are now nearly shapeless mounds and masses of ruins. Two great groups, however. are in compar- atively perfect preservation, third Is incorporated with an old church, and a fourth, the great sacrificial mound, is surmounted by the ruins of a very ancient church. The principal buildings are of stone masonry.

New Wireless for AeropIanes.

John Hays Hammond, Jr, has per fected at Gloucester, Mass, wireless telegraph apparatus for aeroplanes which he intends to sell to the gov ernment. His instrument embodies several new features which have not yet been made public, among them a new coherer 20 times as sensitive as those now In use. This will enable ayiators to receive messages as well as send them. To the present time the wireless instrument used on aero planes have been only to transmit, and the inability to receive messages has kept the operators tied to their base of instructions.

ITCHING, BURNING ERUPTION

Thomasviile, Ala-'I suffered with eczema on my hands and feet two or three years. About eleven years ago became troubled with an itching, burn Ing eruption which came on my hands and feet in little water blisters and in about a day or two when I would let the water out or wash it out, using my hands, then the places would fester and itch to beat the band. I could not do any work that was rough on my hands at all. It caused me great suf- fering and inconvenience.
 T tried everything that I knew of or was told and never was really re- lieved until l began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I would wash the parts in water with the Cuticura Soap and then when dried them 1 would ap- ply the Cuticura Ointment on the sur face in the daytime, and at night would get soft piece of cloth and apply the Cuticura Ointment on my hands and let it stay that way all night. A perfect cure was effected. No one will ever know how glad I was to get my hands and feet cured" (Signed) Geo. c. Crook, Nov. 25, 1912.
