THUS FAR AND NO FARTHER
Men OF Science 6affled In Endeaxors
to Find the Real Root Of All
Languages.

The oldest languages known at the
present time are the Sumerian, Baby
lonlan Tor Aradian) and the Egyptian.
The earliest known inscriptions belong
to about the fifth millennium B. G.,
but 1t Is reasonable to assume that
these were antedated by many different
languages which had great antiquity.

lonian Cor Accadian) and Assyrian was
the cuneiform. Chaldean, the Ian
guage used generally as the diplomatic
language about the time of Belshazzar,
is what we now know as the Aramic
language. Archaeology has thrown no
light on the subject of the confusion
Of tongues. Abraham very probably
spoke the Arampic, the language of
Aram. In Canaan his descendants ap-
parently used the language Of the
land, which was that Of the Ammon-
ties. This Is what we now know as
Hebrew. 1t would seem that the Isra-
elites retained while in Egypt the Ian
guage familiar to them, but archeol-
ogy has thrown no light upon the SUBJ
ject Nothing has been discovered
which can be determined as antedi.
luvian. Babylonian legends mention
several cities as existing before the
flood, and Arabic tradition says Haran
was the first city that was rebuilt af-
ter the deluge, but archaeology has
offered no certain data as yet on the
subject.

ONLY BIT OF RUINED WALL
All That Remains Of Castle That Was
the Birthplace Of seotlsnd's
Hero, Robert Bruce. IS 90

Turnberry castle, on the coast Of
! Ayrshire, Scotland, now but a bit of
ruined wall near the lighthouse. was
the birthplace and early home of Rob-
ert Bruce, whose father and mother
combined in themselves the earldoms
Of Annandale and Carrlck or royal
llneage-the titles still being retained
, by the present royal family Of the
United Kingdom"
In ancient times this old castle was
large and strong. In the early part of
Bruce's career Turnberry was held
by an English force. Bruce through
mistaken signal, came to take the
old familiar place, though his men
were many too few for the task. Dis
dainlng to give 1t up, however, he kept
up an irregular war. sometimes being
driven to refuge In the mountains or
even In the wilds Of distant loch.
At length he gathered together
enough men to take Turnberry castle,
which act was the beginning Of his
triumphant progress through Ayrshire
and Stirllngshire, which finally ended
with Bannockburn's tremendous VIC
tory.
It is hard to realize the oldtime Inn
portance Of Turnberry, now that the
visitor must search long before he can
come across Its few battered remains.

HAD KNOWLEDGE OF GERMS
Abundant Proof That Anclents Were
Aware Of the Existence Of Little
Demons OF Disease.

That the nnclents knew the microbes
Of diseases Is impossible to imagine,
yet 1t Is certain that many Of them un-
derstood that there were such things.
Or. Jonathan Wright of Pleasantvllle,
N. Y, quoted In the Scientific Monthly
from many Roman, Arabian and other
writer's extracts that prove this.
yarro and Columella, in the first
century after Christ ascribed the dis
eases of Rome to little animals which
live In the swamps.
And the Egyptian and Assyrian CEN
sers, thousands Of years before Christ,
burned reslnous drugs and let loose
the smoke of ethereal oils to exercise
the little demons of disease precisely
rs our board of health doctors until
very recently fumigated our houses to
kill the germs of contaglon. How eff
caclous either method may be is nei-
ther here nor there, the essential fact
being that the ancients. without micro
scopes, had discovered the great truth
upon which modern medicine is based.

Food Quotas.

The man who works hard needs in a
day II ounces Of one or of a combi-
nation Of the following: Meat, poul-
try, cheese, dried vegetables, fish or
eggs. To vary the above he may count
every glass Of milk drunk equal to au
ounce Of any one of the others. The
soldiers, either in home or military life,
must have four pounds of fresh fruit
and vegetables in order to keep the
bony structure in good condition. He
will need the three-quarters of a cup
full of fat (this includes butter, oil,
the fat Of meat eaten or any other fat
in the daily dlet) to keep him warm.
and to this group he must add one and
one-fourth pounds Of bread or cereal
and finally, In order to complete the
necessary amount of driving power, he
must have two ounces of sugar or one
third Of a cupful Of slrup.

The fighting quality of our men in
France is being extensively comment
ed upon by the allied newspapers.
Turning to Canada, whose own soldiers
have won the highest praise OF the
military critics we find the London,
Ontario, Free Press remarking that
"if the enemy persuaded himself that
the entrance of the United States into
the war would not be matter of sig
nificance, he must now see the wisdom
of revising his estimate. :" Comment
ing m the clash and eagerness of
the American soldier the Ottawa Cit
izen thinks that "even in Germany it
must be known that the pinch hitter
generally wins the game" EVERY
adult in Canada has friends and rel
atives in the United States and they
were never prouder of them than they
are at this moment" remarks the
Windsor, Ont. Record, which add: :
Canadians don't ask what the United
States is doing. We know. And when
the Germans are licked there will he
no quarrel about the honors. There
will be glory enough for all, Any time
detractors of Uncle Sam raise their
spitefu' or jealous heads they will have
fight on their hands from the Can

Insure Good Results.

If one is pressed for time a good
showing can be made by keeping cool
and quietly dlsposing of one task be-
fore beginning another, Hurry and ex.
citement will hinder any cause. But
the person who has mastered himself
or herself--who remains calm under
all clrcumstances--is the man or wom-
an who does splendid work.
Learning to concentrate ones mind
upon the duty at hand is, indeed, an
effort worth while. Therefore, the girl
or woman who would spare herself
hours of needless worry or excitement
should wisely keep her head-in other
words, give her best attention to what.
