The Cradle Land Of History

While the allied feet is stoiming it's
way to the stronghold of the Turk, it is
passing by and bringing into notice lands
and towns which are SO ancient as to
seem almost names without identity.
Yet the cities Of Smyrna and Ephesus.
the Island of Mitylene, the dozens Of
historic villages and mountains are all
places which were the center of history
hundreds Of years before the Christian
era.
Mitylane is the modern name for the
Island OF Lesbos. one Of the Grecian
archipelago, a spot where burning
Sapho loved and sung" Here people
SO ancient that their very existence is
almost mythical flourished nearly 1890
years ago. Orpheus the god of music,
is said t., have visited its shores, and
other famed poets and musicians made
t their home Yet today it is the home
Of a few ignorant Greeks and even more
ignorant Turks.
Smyrna, which lies at the head of
the gulf of the same name, fiourished
50 long ago that it had chapel to
Nemesis, the goddess Of revenge. II
was built probably a thousand years
before Christ, and is one OF the seven
cities claiming to be the birthplace of
Homer. On a tiny island now used as
a quarantine station, and just outside
of the city. the great philosopher An
axagoras was born. The first Christian
church was built here by Bishop Poly
carp about $50 years after the crucihx-
ion.
y railroad connects Smyrna with
Ephesus, which was the alleged birth
place Of the goddess Diana and the
spot on which her famous temple was
built Ephesus was a thousand years
old when the Christian era begun. Croe-
sus and Alexander the Great visited it;
it was subdued by Marc Antony and
seen by Cleopatra There are to be
seen the ruins Of the prison in which
! Paul was held. the rock in which the
seven sleepers slumbered, and it was
in this city that the great council OF the
Christian Church met in the year 4S1 to
put down the HISTORIAN heresy.
All these lands. cradles Of the human
race. the birthplaces Of history and the

be largely a matter Of pride and often
of ostentation. The local courts have
just upset portions Of will in part be-
cause of statutory deficiencies and in
part because public policy was against
making spectacle Of a tomb.
Curiously enough the great number
Of wills which are overthrown are
those drawn up by lawyers. This is
not necessarily a reflection upon men
OF the law, but because these experts
are called in to devise improbable doc
uments in as nearly legal form as pos
sible. The lawyer has no option but to
try to put these requests in a form
which will stand the tests Of the courts.
1t is said that few wills written by
the testator himself are overthrown
and for the reason that he usually de-
vises his property in a sensible man
ner.
Efforts to lay the dead hand on the
living are seldom justified. No man is
wise enough to dispose Of the future
save for limited time, and most be-
quests are limited by law to a certain
number Of lives. 1t is a much better
plan to bring up ones children in a
way 10 handle property judiciously and
take the risk, which is generally less
than in trying to make the future
square with your own notions Of what
il should be.

MUNICIPAL COURT
Archie Dostie Arraianea for Threaten
&c ASA uit-Case Continued
For Sentence.

Archie postie was before the municipal
court Saturday afternoon to answer to
a complaint sworn out against him by
Joe Delaware and charging threatened
assault. it being alleged by the complain
ant that Dostie had threatened TO do
him up. Dostie was represented by M
II Simmons and entered plea of not
guilty. Several witnesses were heard for
the prosecution and the respondent took
the stand in his own behalf. and after
the court had listened to the several
stories the case was continued for sem
tence, as Dostie agreed TO keep away
from Delaware and also to quit drink
ing.
The case is said to have been the out
come of some trouble which occurred
about two weeks ago, and during which
it is alleged that Dostie announced his
intention of thrashing six or seven young
men by taking them two at a time. Ac-
cording to the story as learned from the
court Dostie succeeded in carrying out
his intention upon two Of the men whom
he had decided to infiict punishment. but
when he essayed to include Delaware
in the list he got done up himself, and
this is the more remarkable from the
fact that while Dostie probably weighs
over 800 pounds Delaware is almost in
the lightweight class.
One other case was heard Saturday
afternoon, that Of a young man, who
made the mistake Of coming to Augusta
early Saturday morning instead OF re-
naming at his camp on the shore OF
one of the neighboring ponds and doing
some work upon which he was engaged.
He had hardly recovered from the effects
of his experience while in town at the
time he was brought into court, but the
story which he told the judge was in
effect that he had come into the city on
one of the morning cars and soon after
his arrival had met a friend who gave
him a drink; that he was not in the
habit Of using liquor, and that the stuff
which his friend gave him had the effect
Of paralyzing him to the extent that
his legs would not hold him, SO that he
fell and bruised his head, evidence Of
which mishap he brought into court
with him. Just what was given the
young man to drink was not learned, but
the court in disposing Of the case was
lenient and allowed the respondent to
go upon the payment Of IS and costs

ENDS INDIGESTION

Just because the pepsin pills,
coda minis and other artificial
digestive tablets you have been
taking no longer give you the
desired relief and you must take
two, four or six instead of one
to stop your heart burn, bloatin.s,
sour rising, belching and stom-
ach lump, it's no sign there is
no quick relief for you, but 4
sure sign that it's high tims
you changed your medicine.
Give up these so-called aids to
digestion, that work on the food
and do the stomach no actual
good or you'll belch and bloat
till doomsday. You need a rem
edy that will strengthen your
stomach muscles and lining and
increase the flow Of digestive
juices. Then your stomach will
do its own digesting.
There is an old time remedy
called Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets
which give wonderfully quick re-
lief in such cases. They are
splendidly balanced stomach pre-

your stomach is, how long it has
bothered or what or how much

SOME OF THE
USES OF I HE
SOY BEAN FLOUR

Washington, April 1S-Experi-
ments conducted by the United States
Department Of Agriculture with soy
bean flour indicate that it may be
used in much the same way as corn
meal. Although the soy bean (a1so
called soya BEAM has been grown for
more than % years in this country,
it has been used almost extensively
as a forage crop. AS a coffee sub
stitute il has been placed on the
market at various times with but
little success, although il compares
very favorably with some substitutes
now used quite extensively. In Japan
and China the bean, which has been
extensively cultivated since the ear
Hest times, is used principally for
human food and is prepared in many
different ways. Bean curd is very
common and other products with
which Western people are not fannil-
lar European countries during the
past few years have imported very
large quantities of soy beans from
Manchuria. principally for the oil and
cake but in Germany and England
the use Of the bean as human food
is becoming important. In England
bakers have put on the market a SOY
bread made from -four which is 25
per cent soy meal and rs per cent
wheat -four. Soya biscuits" or
crackers are also for sale all over
England and, like the bread, are very
palatahle.
marketed TO some extent in the Unit
~ roc fnys in, i
in cases where it is desirable to
limit or lower the amount of starch
used. II has not, however, as yet
been on sale in quantities or at prices
which would lead the housekeeper
TO use it as a substitute for wheat
-four, though there is every reason to
believe that it can become a COM
mon market commodity for such uses,
if there is demand for it.
For Americans and Europeans il is
probable that the bean is most ac-
ceptable when made into bread bis
cults, mullins, griddle cakes, waffies,
etc.
Though rich in protein and oil,
fully ripened soy beans contain no
starch or at most only traces of it,
When the ground soy bean is used
with wheat -four in bread making,
it increases the protein content and
lowers the proportion Of starch The
bread, however, in its general char
acteristics, is very similar to ordinary
wheat bread. When the percentage
of soy bean -four is greater than one
fourth the character Of the bread or.
cakes is materially altered.
The following recipe is typical of a
number Of successful soy-bean pre-
parations:
Soy Bean Muffins
To make mullins from soy bean
-four, take about 10 cup Of SOY -four,
about I 10 teaeupfuls Of wheat flour,
1-2 teaspoonful salt, . eggs, tea
cupful Of sweet milk, rounded tea
spoonfuls Of baking powder, and
1-2 tablcspoonfuls of melted but nor
hot butter. Beat well together, add
ing the melted butter last, and bake
in gem pans in a hot. oven. This will
make about y mullins.
