TREASURES LOST TO HISTORY
Fanaticism of Spaniards on lsla de
fGujercs is Regretted by
Archeoiogists.

Fortified by grim rocks from the
wind-driven waves Of the Yucatan
channel lies the Isla de Mujeres-Isle
of Women. The Spaniards on voy-
age in search of gold in the sixteenth
century were tossed UP on this island,
where they found no gold, but had
an interesting time. When they start
ed on an exploring tour Of the island
they came upon q stone temple. Lured
by the fumes Of incense, they entered
and saw many idols representing god
desses, clothed. in cotton garments.
Officiating at the ceremonies were
women dressed in bright cottons and
decked out with feathers and orna-
ments Of precious metals.
The Spaniards, excited by this scene
Of idol worship, rushed in, smashed
the idols, triumphantly placed an i'm
age of the virgin on the altar and
held mass before the eyes Of the as
tonished priestesses and native wor-
shippers. Archeologists have never
ceased to regret the fervor Of the
Spaniards, who thus unheedingly de-
stroyed unique treasures of Magyar
civilization.
The Spaniards named the place Isla
de Mujeres for future reference and
sailed away. The frightened Mayans
deserted their shrine. For years the
Isla de Mujeres lay still and forsakeE.
Gradually it awakened. A fishing viii
lage grew up near the ancient affairs
and the Yucatans hunt the hawk
billed turtle where once Indian maid
ems swung the censers and chanted
their prayers.

EarriSterS' WiuS,

Barristers' wigs first came into
vogue about 200 years ago. Up to the
end of the seventeenth century judges
and sergeants at law alone had any
distictive dress.
Under Queen Anne the queens coun-
selor adopted the court dress and silk
gown which made up the mourning Of
the period, together with the full-bot-
toned wig then usually worn by all
persons Of position.
Thereupon the outer bar started
wearing a modest short wig, with
strings of horsehair tied up at the end,
in imitation of the fashion Of tying the
back hair up into pigtail.
Some judges, we are told by legal
historian, found these wigs COX
combical," and would not allow barris-
tiers wearing them to plead in court.

Actual stocking Of New York's new
fish ponds in the beds Of the old Erie
and Champlain canals Is in full swing.
The necessary construction work has
been completed and the fish used for
stocking purposes are being rushed
from various points to the canals and
liberated at once.
The first consignment consisted Of
a large number Of yellow perch fry,
which were planted in one of the sec
tons of the old Erie canal near Am
sterdam. According to the conserva-
ton commission, a quantity of perch
spawn was collected by state en-
ployees in Adirondack lakes, where
these fish are a menace to other fishes
in the same waters. Its removal is
therefore accomplishing double
benefit, .---.-.--- -.

HEALTH TALK
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY DIR. LEE II. SMITH.

IN old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight German or a germ,
we must put up good fight, and not be
| afraid. The influenza runs very brief
course when the patient is careful, and
if we keep the system in good condition
and throw off the poisons which tend to
accumulate within our bodies, we can
escape the disease. Remember these
three C's-a clean mouth, clean skin,
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses OF a pleasant laxative
should be taken. Such one is made
of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of
jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by a cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack Of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
1rug store, and one given every two
hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tab
cts were first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
and, as they flush the bladder and
cleanse the kidneys, they carry away
much of the poisons and the uric acid.
It is important that broths, milk, but
ermilk, ice-cream and simple diet
oo given regularly to strengthen the sys-
EN- and increase the vital resistance.
The fever is diminished by the use OF the
3nuric tablets, but in addition, the fore
head, arms and hands may be bathed
With water (tepid) in which a table,
ipoonful of salaratus has been dissolved
n a quart. After an attack OF grip or
pneumonia to build up and strengthen
he system, obtain at the drug store .
rood iron tonic, called Irontic" Tab
cts, or that well known herbal tonic,
Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

THEIR EYES ARE OPENED

TT was fine body of young SOL
d.ers in the making which as
sembled at the Courthouse Sat
urday morning to be advised regard
ing war insurance, the hygienic sys-
tenn in operation in the camps, the
work OF the various welfare organi-
cations and the aims and purposes
Of the struggle from the American
standpoint
To the Germans and their sympa-
thizers who had been persuaded IL
believe the French were bled white,
the British exhausted and the Amer
leans useless amateurs, it has been
month of humiliation and disilluslon-
ment. It may even be doubted
whether the moral are not more Sc
rious than the material effects of
these continuous defeats, according
to a war correspondent at the front
Through the proper instruction of
these young men who are going
forth to war much will be accom-
plished. Their viewpoint is impor-
tant and the local committees which
are acting with the several draft
boards are able in a tactful and
helpful way to brush aside many
puzzling pRblems that might, If al
lowed to go unsolved, serve to re-
duce the morale-the fighting spirit
of the rapidly increasing Army.
The eyes of the enemy are fast
being opened and as the truth dawns
upon him the resistance must crum-
BILE and the will to fight break down
Let our boys enter the service with
a high sense of duty to a great cause
and with the determination to crush
the German menace to the peace of
the world. Such meetings as these
now being held in the different draft
districts of the city and county are
certain to be of great value and the
results of the patriotic efforts of the
Harrisburg and Steelton Reserves
and the committees on instruction
cooperating with the draft officials
will show in better satisfied and
more efficient soldiers.
