Finding Old Relics in Primitive
I'm a{Ts Mounde

Human remains, charcoal, crude in.
strnments, and various soils are being
taken by. DR.. Lorin Stuckey of the
University of Iowa from the primitive
mounds which he recently discovered
on the Iowa river seventeen miles
south of Iowa City.
DR.. Stuckey is gathering data from
which he hopes to draw conclusions
concerning the antiquity Of the
mounds and the characteristics Of the
people who built them. 1t is not I'M
probable that his present investiga-
lions may have an important bearing
upon the old question. never satisfac.
torily settled, as to whether the
mound builders were Indians or an
earlier people.
A survey Of the mound field recently
discovered has shown that the mounds
are in two groups, with seventy-five
on high bluff overlooking the river
and several others across the river
and in the valley.
So far only five have been eXcavat-
cd. In every mound human remains
have been found in promiscous heaps,
which appears to show that some form
of burial was used which left only the
bones to be buried. Some of the bones
bear evidence of having been hacked
by a dull instrument, probably before
burial.
The most interesting discovery was
made in the first mound. A crescent
shaped copper ornament four and a
quarter inches wide in its largest dia.
meter and varying in thickness from
an eigth Of an inch on the inside Of
the rim to mere edge was found
resting against skull in a position
to suggest a crown reposing on the
brow Of some high priest Of ancient
times. =
Splendid specimens Of grooved stone
axes, which are peculiar to America
and many flint arrow points, scrapers,
darts, spears, and other stone weapons
have been recovered in the vicinity
OF the mounds. i
University experts in anatomy are
studying the teeth found in the
mounds, chemists are analysing the
soils, and DR.. Stuckey and his assist
ants in anthropology are assembling
photographs and charts and analyA
ing all the evidence in, an effort 10
reach definite conclusions concerning
the origin, antiquity, customs, and
practices of the builders. :

Low Salaries In Greece.

No doubt Greek officers, who are
very badly paid as compared with the
English standard, console themselves
with the knowledge that they are
probably as we'll off in the army as
they would be in any other profession,
for salaries in Greece are all ridicu-
lousy low as gagged by those in Great
Britain. The highest judges, for ex-
ample, do not get much more than 600
year, while many OF their less exalt-
ed brothers have to make ends meet
on about half that sum, with the pros
pect of a full pension after thirty-five
years service.-London Chronicle.

Nuxated Iron to Make New Age of
Beautiful Women and Vigorous Iron Men

NEW YORK. y. Y.-since the remark
able discovery Of organic iron. Nuxated
Iron or Fer Nuxate" as the French call
II. has taken the country by storm. 1t is
oons1rvatively estimated that over five
million persons daily are taking it in this
country alone. Most astonishing results
are reported from its use by both physi-
clans and laymen So much so that
welI-known doctors predict that we shall
soon have a new age Of far more beau
tsfuL rOsy-cheeked women and vigorous
iron men.
Dr. King, a weIl-known New York
physician and author, when interviewed
on the subject. said. There can be no
vigorous iron men without iron PaIlor
means anemia. Anemia means iron de-
nciency. The skin OF anemic men and
women is pale. The flesh habby. The
muscles lack tone; the brain fags and
the memory fails and often they be-
come weak. nervous. irritable. despond-
ent and melancholy. When the iron goes
from the blood of women. the roses go
from their cheeks.
In the most common foods Of Amer
ica- the starches. sugars, table syrups.
Crcakers. biscuits, macaroni. spaghetti.
tapioca sago. farina, degerminated corn
meal, no longer is iron to be found. Re
inning processes have removed the iron of
Mother Earth from these impoverished
foods. and silly methods Of home cookery,
by throwing down the waste pipe the wa
ter in which our vegetables are cooked,
are responsible for another grave iron
loss.
Therefore If you wish to preserve
your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe
old age, you must supply the iron def
cheney IN your food by using some form
of organic iron. just as you would use
salt when your food has not enough

etc The real and true cause which
started their disease was nothing more
nor less than a weakened condition
brought on by a lack of iron in the

Hudson seal has never been ousted
from its popularity for long coats.
There is considerable variety in the
Hudson seal coats this season. as the
greater majority are used in combina-
ton with contrasting furs. Coats are
all lengths. from short ones flowing
from the shoulders for young and slen-
der figures, to long ones averaging
from 40 to 46 inches. The sleeves are
or deeply cuffed. but fancy may have
full sway in sleeves as there are many
novel arrangements shown.
Huge are the collars, square, round,
pointed or shawl in outline. and they
are often convertible to be worn high
or low. Narrow shoulders and some
form-fitted effects arc developed in
many of the best models.

mine and mole are employed to fashion
many stunning coats. wondrous in its
elegant simplicity is a moleskin coat
following somewhat the lines of the
figure, banded with blue fox. A draped
collar, cuffs and mum to match were
of mole edged with fox.
A Kolonski short box coat was simply
made and depended upon its beauty for
the workmanship and Chinese pattern
lining used. Smartly chic in military
fashion. a Caracul coat gives itself an
unmistakable mocish look by its beaver
collar, belt and cuffs.
A Hudson seal coat banded with three
bands of skunk at the bottom was
strongly indicative of the Louis fashion
influence. The cape collar, soft revers,
faring cuffs, almost voluminously fun
skirt all proclaimed the inspiration of
past days.
A short basque coat OF Hudson seal
endeated itself to fashions fancy by its
wide cuffs and convertible collar of nat
ural raccoon.

are they that they add tremendously TO
