Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by illness.
If we all would practice inside-bath-
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, manufacturing souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living For every ounce
CT food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
tie ashes from the furnace each day.
beofre the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear

body toxins. Men and women, whether
SICK or we'll, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, a glass of
real hot water with teaspoonful OF
limestone phosphate in it, as harm
less means of washing out of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
iudigestible material waste. sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten-

Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation, bilious attacks, acid

Harvard Professor Makes
Important Discoveries Of

the first century before Christ as the
time in which had lived those little
kings who had built these monuments,
but in view of the scanty material for
comparison this conclusion may be a
century from the truth.
THE most interesting objects were
red-glazed bowls with relief pattern,
red glazed plates, polished vessels of
Opaque red or varied glass, amphoras,

a larquer decoration in Egypto- Mer-
otto style.
Toward the end of February the
full force was turned on the excava-
ton of the temple area. The back part
of the great temple and almost the
whole of the other temples were in a
seemingly hopeless state of restruc-
ton Half a dozen expeditions had
dug desultory trenches in these and
the natives had used them as quarries
for centuries. In hunting for a suitable
place to throw refuse, we cleared
space beside the first pylon. We
found ourselves, however, inside the
temple enclosure and on the living
floor of the Merotic period (about 100
B. c. To our great surprise, in
hole in this floor. we came on the edge
OF pile of fragments of large royal
statutes of the Ethiopian period. Inves-
tigation showed that there had been a
great restoration of the temple after
period of destruction, subsequent to
COO B. c., and that the statues of the
Ethiopian kings found broken during
this restoration had been carried out
and thrown into this place The names
OF four kings were found-the Biblical

CAIRO, Egypt Oct. 5.-Important
discoveries which are said to have
supplied much of the hitherto obscure
history of ancient Ethiopia were made
recently by the Egyptian Expedition
sent by Harvard University and the
Boston Museum of Fine Arts under the
dictatorship of DR.. George A. Reisner,
will known as an Psychologist.
In an interview with representative
of the Associated Press, DR.. Resiner
said that during excavations at Gebel
Barkal material bearing on the whole
period between 1900 B. c. and 100 A. D.
had been found and that prospects
were that further excavation would
bring to light objects of still greater
importance.
Among the more important fines
have been ten large statues of kings of
Ethiopia. Five of these were nearly
complete and five were lacking the
heads but it is believed these will be
found. The expedition has also I'M
covered the foundations of temples
built by Egyptian kings of the Eigh-
teenth Dynastry and shown that the
sphinxes of Amenophis III and other
monuments of that period found at
Barkal belonged to these temples and
were not brought here in later times
as some historians have assumed. De-
scribing the work, DR.. Reisner said:
"Gebel Barkal, which is the district
of Naples, lies 25O miles up the Nile
from Kerma in the province of Don
COLA. Napata was the capital of that
kingdom of Ethiopia whose armies are
mentioned in the Old Testament as the
opponents of Assyria in the latter
part of the eighth century before
Christ. Gebel Barkal is an outstanding
table mountain of sandstone, visible for
great distance From the moment il
appears in the Egyptian inscription it
Is marked as the Holy Mountain Its
selection was no doubt due to its prox-
unity to Napata, the great city which
must have lain on both sides of the
Nile. The site of Napata was pecul-
iarly fitted for great role in the pol
itical and commercial activities OF
ancient times.

Many Traces Found.

Inc SAIeuC VI the CITY LAS not yet
been determined but there are traces
of ruined buildings on both sides of
the river. There are at least four
groups of pyramids, that is, royal
cemeteries in the neighborhood, and
the two most distant groups are nearly
twenty miles apart. In this long
stretch which may be assumed TO con-
iein the city of Napata, 1t is Gebel
Barkal and it's immediate neighbor-
hood which has always drawn atten-
ton of modern scholars. These tenn
pies have in past times yielded a re-
markable series of sculptures and in
scriptions which have gone to enrich
the museums of Cairo, London, Paris
and Berlin and form the greatest
source of our knowledge of the history
Of Ethiopia.
Our expedition reached Gebel
Barkal from Cairo on January "a,
last. We worked there three months,
employing a force of about 300 local
workmen, and left just in time to es-
cape the hot weather. Many people
had worked on the pyramids but no
one had yet discovered the plan of the
structures and no one knew how to
get into them. Fortunately at Gebel
Barkal there were two completely
ruined pyramids of small size which
offered the easiest opportunity Of solv-
ing this mystery. We found in the
case Of each stairway on the eastern
side leading down to chambers under
the pyramid. With this hint we at
tackled the larger pyramids and within
a month we had ofund the entrances
of 25 pyramids and had cleared the
burial chambers of all but one.
Plundered For Gold.
"Al the chambers had been repeat
eddy plundered in ancient days for
gold. Nevertheless we gathered a
mass of material from which we were
able to reconstruct the forms and
character of the greater part of the
pottery, implements, and other things
characteristic of the period This re-
constructed group pointed clearly to

seken. Only the statute of Espalta was
complete. 1t seemed therefore that
there must be another dump in which
the fragments of these statutes had
been thrown, but in so vast an area
the chances of finding the other dump
without excavating teh whole seemed
too small for consideration.
Prepare For The Great Temple.
ITO shorten the story, the rest of the
season was spent in clearing the
ground south of the great temple in
preparations for the excavation of the
great temple itself. Here we uncover
ed ofur small temples each on the site
of older temples and one of them of
considerable interest. This was a
temple built by king Of Ethiopia,
Ramed Italanersa, about 600 B. c., and
had been preserved from the efforts of
previous excavators by mass of huge
bolcks which had fallen upon it from
the cliff. When with infinite labor
these blocks of sandstone had been
broken up and carried out, there lay
the inner chambers with their contents
just as they stood when the cliff fell
about 100 B. c. In the next to the last
room stood a great altar of black
granite carved with offering scenes
and inscriptions in hierolyphics show
ing that the altar had been dedicated
by Itlanersa to Anon of Napata. In
tie small Holy-of Holes, were there
Meroitic statues of the god and cur
iously enough by some ancient mis-
take statuette of Amenophis III, a
great king of Egypt in the Eighteenth
Dynastry. About these statuettes lay
the last yotive offerings placed in the
shrine by worshippers of the Meroitic
age. We penetrated to the foundation
deposits under the back wall of the
temp pie ard ofund the small tablets of
Itlanersa completing the history of
temple. Itlanersa had foolishly built
his temple right under the oYerhanging
cliff, but much to our advantage. AL
most Immediately the cliff had fallen
and crushed the temple. His success
sor, Senaka-amon-seken, piously re-
built the broken walls and set his
name beside that of Itlandersa. Again
the cliff dropped a huge flake on the
back part of the temple; again another
king, nearly four centuries later, re-
stored the sanctuary. But in his day
the writing of hierolyphics was nearly
a lost art and his name can only be
surmised.
Only at the very end could work be
begun on the great temple. A few
rooms at the back were cleared and the
foundations of five successive temples
were laid bare. But the great temple
still awaits excavation and an area
perhaps twenty times that already ex-
cavated. In few days the expedition
will return to the Sudan and resume
work where it was cut short by the hot
weather"

by rifle bullets at the Gwillim home
near Falcon, twenty miles east OF
here. The discovery of the tragedy
was made by a neighbor's daughter,
when she called at the farmhouse on
an errand.
The girl said both bodies were ly-
ing in the sitting room of the ranch
house. But when the coroner reached
the place the woman's body was in
the room and that of the man had
disappeared.
The coroner followed a trail OF
blood across two rooms to closet.
Opening the door he was confronted
by the staring eyes of Gwillim, in
whose lap was a half gallon Jug con-
tanning whisky. Stains upon his chin
Indicated that he had partaken of the
contents before succumbing to his
wounds.
Gwillim's body was found to have

had been cut away with penknife.
About the room were evidences of
struggle. and small holes in the walls
indicated where some Of the buck
shot had struck the plaster.
Coroner Boyle believes that Gwillim
killed Mrs. Simmons and then turned
the gun on himself Gwillim is be-
lieved to have tried to kill her with
shotgun and then to have got a
1879 high-power rifle and shot her
through the heart. He afterwards,
the officers believe turned the rifle
on himself.
