TT looks as IL we Americans had ex-
traordinarily fine ancestors on TINS
continent long before we ever tnought
of coming here or even knew that
there was a here" to come to, an
eestors whom anybody could be proud OF
and ancestors whom we have disgrace
fully neglected
In other words, discoveries made In
the old cliff dwellers' region in Colorado
within the last few weeks put the inter,
esting race of clifr-dwellers, the original
Americans, in an entirely new and re-
markable light.
The finding Of a citadel, built Of cut
and polished stone, thousands of years
ago, in the National Mesa Verde park,
In southwestern Colorado, was an
nounced just the other day by Enos A.
Mills. naturalist and author. He de-
scriEes 1t as one Of the greatest
archaeological discoveries yet recorded
about the cliff jewellers of the North
American continent.
The picks and shovels Of several score
workmen, under the direction of DR..
J. W. Fewkes, government archeolo-
gist have for weeks been scooping
away the rocks, trees and dirt of ages
from around this primeval ruin. and
enough Of the castle stands revealed to
shed an entirely new light on the in
telligence and the customs of the first
Americans.
cit is the most powerful sight ever
saw" Mills declared. THE citadel is
across the canyon from and directly OPP
posfte the Cliff Palace House. a 400
room stone structure built in the side
Of the canyon.
THE citadel, built on the surface Of
the ground on the rim of the canyon.
Is in the form of D, covering an area
equal to q large city block. The verti-
cal line Of the D measures 1872 feet,
while the circular wall measures 346
feet
stones are polished to marble smooth
ness and every stone joins its neigh
Dor with exaetness. The infinite pains
and labor required to erect the build
ing can only be conjectured."
Dr. Fewkes contends that this dis
eovery will do much to overturn pres
ent theories concerning the lost tribes
Of that country. Interest in this find is
intensified in his belief that numerous
other mounds five miles away undoubt-
eddy will produce structures similar to
the ones just unearthed.
The walls OF the building are slightly
more than four feet thick They are
hollow and filled with tiny rooms called
"kivas," from which doors open into the
main court. So far no doors have been
found through this outer wall, and It il
supposed that entrance was made either
from the top by way of ladders or
through a tunnel under the walls Prob
ably twenty such rooms are enclosed In
the main court
DR.. Fewkes believes the ruin was an
uncompleted fortress abandoned when
the cliff jewellers disappeared from the
Rocky mountain region. He does not

the breeze is borne the hum Of human
endeavor. But no sound rises to the
level of those silent cities and crumbling
walls that hold the traveller in the spell
of their aged mysteries.

the stones and timbers of their build

yet placed them with such skill that they
have withstood the centuries? Where
are the children of those other children
who in the morning of time thronged the
great mesa and scaled the cliffs, in such
numbers that the paths worn by their
naked feet are still deep in the stone.
One Of the noteworthy ruins Of this
region is the Spruce Tree HOUSE. which
is at an elevation Of 1000 feet. From
the brink of this canyon one sees
stretched out before him the great desert
Of Arizona and New Mexico quivering in
the heat of the southern sun.
The first thing that strikes the visitor
is the unusual circular chambers that
appear like pits in the floor OF the ruins
These chambers are called kivas and are
presumed to have fulfilled the functions
Of ceremonial rooms
In Spruce Tree House there are approx
imately eight of these rooms, which
were used by an estimated popula- 4
iton Of 400 persons Back Of ~

Brownsville Market

Corpus Christi. Texas, June 26.-While
Brownsville on a business trip. q great deal
of interest was taken IN the Brownsville
city market, which l. a municipal market
proper. netting a great deal OF revenue Ia
the city treasury.
The market j. located directly hack of
the city hall and in fact a portion of the
ground floor of the city hall il used for
meat stalls. which are al kept in ! SAM
tary condition. and under the supervision
Of the city health officers. In an open ar
cade are nnmberles~ stalls, where the fresh
vegetables and truck products of the far
mcr> about Brownsville are brought daily.
kept under screens To prevent raids of
flies and maintained in a strictly sanitary
manner.
There are possibly forty booths of thi~
kind. all IN good repair and kept IN good
condition. There J. a nominal sum charged
for the renting Of these booths. which j.
collected every morning ut ) o'clock. Ii
the rent J. not paid then by the man who

way the city Of Brownsville gets a good
revenue from the market place. besides fur
ni-hing a convenient location for the house
wives and Others who wish 10 buy. and
making a provision for the farmers who
wish to stop III the center of the city and
are willing ." pay for the privilege.
MANY of the Corpus Christians paid -pe-
cial attention To this market. for the rca-
son that il will only be in the course Of
time before Corpus Christi will need an in

Or. Hunt Finds the Quick, Clean,
Painless, Effective Way.
Cutting corn never cured II.
Caustic liquids only invite blood
poisoning, and stimulate further
corn growth. Corn pads are bulky
and squeeze the ties. Salves are
greasy. But the one way that does
cure cornS of all kinds and sizes is
the penetrating way, discovered by
Dr. Hunt, of Sidney. Ohio. a medi-
cal man who has spent a lifetime in
the development of this new prin-
ciple of curing corns by penetra-
ton.
DR.. Hunts New Corn Cure comes
in the form of a clean, handy plas-
ter. Six plasters in a box. Trim
plaster size of corn and apply. In
stantly the pain is eased. All you
feel is the soothing effect. The
plaster does not bulk up like clum-
sy pads.
Now see what happens. In two
days the corn has become so thor
oughly penetrated that it can be
easily and quite painlessly lifted
out. root. branch and all.
Nothing like DR.. Hunts New
Corn Cure has been known before.
1t is an entirely new principle. Mil
lions of packages have already
been sold. Cures any corn. They
must go.
And box full costs you only ten
cents. Money back if not delight
ed. Take no other if you want to
be sure of a quick. easy, perma-
nent cure.
