Gentlemen:-
Some time ago I was attacked with
a serious spell of Typhoid Fever,
which left me in a very weak condl-
ton and effected my limbs. We de-
cided it had resulted in white swell
ing. Every remedy We could think
Of was used, but to no effect. My
suffering was great and l had to go
on clutches. At last we were induc-
ed to try Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy,
after suffering for two years, and
the result was marvellous. After
taking eight bottles I was entirely
cured, and have never had symp-
.om of trouble since. My faith IN
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy is great
and would advise all sufferers to
give it a trial and be convinced as
l have.

as he is at writing one. Some time

also reside in the greatest sheep-raising zones.
In fact sheep raised in every region where
wool is in demand, save in the polar regions. 1t
Is natural that the wooden industry should spring
up in primitive communities and among people
who too poor to afford purchased material
for clothing Therefore, wool growing and manu-
featuring as industry has place in practically
all countries. AS a country increases in popula-
tion however the lands must be utilized for in
tensive agricultural purposes and the range for
sheep is reduced in more recent years as a con-
sequence. In our own West this is very apparent.
The woOlgrowing industry In Europe and
America has not kept pace with that In newer
countries. Nearly one-half of theaworld's present
commercial supply of wool is produced in Aus
tralia, New Zealand and Argentina. Notwith-
standing the fact that the production in the Unit
ed States is not increasing materially, wool is
produced in every state of the Union The varied
md wide adaptation of sheep in the United States
is one of the promising features of the future, II

Scattered all over the Yucatan peninsula are
monuments to q civilization that 1ourished thou
sands Of years ago. Just how many thousand no
body knows and scientists differ very materially In
their ideas on the subject. The prevailing belief,
however is that this civilization in full swing
as late the beginning of the Christian Other
scientists assert that the ruins antedate those OF
Egypt
Yucatan can well be called 1.-THE American
Egypt The ruins of 172 cities, big and little, have
been discovered and not quarter of the territory
has been explored that is, carefully explored, for
the tropical verdure makes the finding of them
very difficult You might pass within a hundred
feet of a wonderful old temple or pyramid hum
dred times and not discover 1t, effectively does
the Jungle screen these crumbling monuments of
the distant past and shield them from the prying
eyes of this inuuistive and presumptuous age
OF the 172 clusters Of ruins discovered, two sets
represent what were once large and prosperous
Cities of about half a million inhabitants each.
Doubtless at different times each one Of these two
cities was the capital of the country.
One of the cities is Uxmal, pronounced "Ush-
rnuI" situated in the southwestern part Of Yucca
TAM and the other is Chichen liza, in the eastern
part of the state. One is six miles away from the
railways end through the jungle and the other 49,
In both cases the road leading out Is little better
than trail and without question the toughest
road that wheeled vehicle pounded to
pieces on.
To my mind the most interesting ruin OF all is
"The House of the Dwarf" at Uxmal. It is a
pyramid, with temple on top where the priests
made human sacrifices. The steps on one side are
fairly well preserved. A double chain is run down
them so that it is possible to reach the top if you
have cool head. Once there you crawl through
q hole knocked in the temple wall and come out
on platform which was the sacrifcial altar.
On that platform the priests stood and with
nives of flint cut out the hearts of living victims
and held the gruesome objects aloft, still throb-
Ding for the populace below to gaze at. In the
great quadrangle at the foot of that side OF the

pyramid the Inhabitants Of the city gathered TO
watch these festal doings. Fifty thousand people
could stand in it. Around this huge court runs
palace two stories high and beautifully carved,
which was the home of the nuns, for whose special
delectation these sacrifices were made. The nuns
were the aristocrats of ancient Maya society.
On all four of the inner sides Of this palace are
carved two huge snakes, whose bodies are en-
twined as they twist around the structure These
snakes have human heads and tasses for tails In
all the ruins the carvings are of the same Pc
culiar design. The patterns Of the borders ana
the general OrnamentatiOn strongly suggest the
Egyptian
What is most wonderful of all is how they were
able to cut those huge blocks of stone and then
carve them so beautifully without metal ham,
mers or chsels. There is no iron or other metal
in the country and all they had to work with
was flint How they raised the blocks into place
none can explain. That, remains much of
mystery as the Pyramids of Egypt This is used
as an argument to prove that the same race OF
people did them both.
There are many more ruins standing at Chichen
TIA than at Uxmal, but in both cities all the
smaller structures and private houses have dsap-
Deared The ages have worn them away or earth
auakes shaken them down and the jungle has COW
cred ALL The natural accumulation of soil for CEN
turies has also covered them many feet deep. The
bases of the big buildings still in sight are OF
course, below the present surface. Not mucn mas
been done in the way of excavating, for the gov
eminent is only just turning It's attention TO tnese
wonderful relics of the past.
The ruins have several feats in mason work that
are beyond our twentieth century architects such
as arches without keystones, leaning wallis round
corners, hanging terraces, and so on. The walls
are all enormously thick and the rooms rather
small even in the houses Of the governors or
kings or whatever they called. Most .Of these
rooms are now inhabited by bats and are not at all
pleasant places There fat ceiling to be
found All are finished with pointed arches
