ALMOST ON MODERN PLANE
People Who Flourished Forty Centu.
ries Ago Ranked High in Scale
of Civilization.

The dead civilization of the ancient
world possessed some secrets which
modern man has been slow in acquir-
ing. One of the most remarkable of
these extinct civilizations was that of
the MinOan people in Crete, people
who possessed a knowledge of sani-
tation that was lost for nearly 40 cen
turtles and who dressed and lived, in
numerous respects, on plane equal
to that of today
In 'NIodern Man and His Forerun-
ners," H. G. f. Spurrel, the English
historian and anthropologist, tells OF
this anc&nt people:
When she early civilization Of Crete
was growing it was in communication
with Egypt, where the great civiliza-
ton to which the pyramids belong
was flouriShing In Crete the physical
externals of civilization, long since eX-
tinguished, were far more like ours
today than those Of the civilization
which Immediately followed it.
1liG IJtOlJlG Uullt GllOOAStlN AAOh''S''f
ORIGINATING them with a view to using
the sunny aspect. The dwellings were
sometimes four stories high. The stair
cases, decorations, bathrooms and ap-
paratus for flushing and traps for
examining drains testify to a knoWl-
edge of sanitary science that was soon
after lost and only fully recovered by
another civilization nearly 40 cen
turtles later.
The Hellenic and Roman civiliZa-
lions, which in due course grew up
after the Minoans had persisted, never
fully equaled them in these respects.
Only within the last century has SAM
tation been able to compare with that
known nearly 1000 years ago.
The ancient capital of Crete had no
wall of fertilization. In this respect,
too, Knosses was modern in spirit.
Trusting throughout a long period OF
it's history to the immunity OF lsoia-
ton and later to an actual supremacy
at sea, the 1Iinoan capital, like Lon
don and Washington, preferred to run
the risk of capture rather than to
cramp it's life within walls. And, like
London and Washington, it was fired
by enemies and rebuilt with greater
splendor and with no serious inter
ruption to it's prosperity until at last
it's own vitality was spent and there
could be no recovery from an attack
in which the enemy within the gates
combined with the old foe from the
aerth to wreck the Minoan state.
In dress the Cretans, their women
at any rate, were strikingly like mod
ern Europeans of no far past date.
Their long, many-founced skirts. their
embroidered puff-sleeved
bodices, Iaced-in waists, gloves and
broad brimmed, fancifully trimmed
hats, were all nearly modern. The flow
ing robes of the Greeks, when the
Hellenic civilization grew up after the
Minoan had fallen, appear to us anti
que in contrast.
AS Prof. Murray says: we seem TO
be moving in a region that is next
door to savagery and in the midst OF
it to have speech with men whom we
might gladly accept as our leaders or
advisers if they lived now"

COST OF VARIOUS HIGHWAYS
Macadam Road Is Most Expensive, But
When Built Is Satisfactory and
Permanent.

Dirt roads are ordinarily surfaced
with sand, mixed with clay or with
gravel, or brick, or crushed stone, con-
crete or other like material. The gray
ell road will cost from $1,000 to $1,000
a mile-the difference in cost depend
ing upon the accessibility of gravel.
The macadamized road costs from ST.
900 to $4,000 per mile. 1t is the most
expensive, but when well built is both
satisfactory and permanent.

kidneys. When they slow up and com:

Danger is in sight. :,
Find out what the trouble is-with-

weak, dizzy, suffer from sleeplessness,
or have pains in the back, wake up at
once. Your kidneys need help. These are
signs to warn you that your kidneys

uric acid and other poisons, which
are causing you distress and will de-
