ON LOFTY ARAFAT
Beautiful Mountain Is a Long,
Extinct Volcano.
II Has Been Scaled, and Contrary to
Tradition, No Proof That Noah's
Ark Ever Landed There Gould
Be Discovered.

The recent appeal made by the
newly established republic of Ararat
for recognition by the United States
will be better understood, at least geo
graphically. when 1t is explained that
the region in question L: province
of Armenia.
1t takes its name from the noun
tain on which the ark made land
ing after the fiood-Ararat meaning
Noah's mountain.
The whole world, according to the
Bible story. was submerged during the
period of the Deluge and Ararat's top
most peak was the first dry land to
appear above the waters, for the SIM
pie reason that 1t was the loftiest-
in Armenia, at all events.
AS viewed today it gives a notion
Of the depth of the food, inasmuch
as the peak is more than three miles
above sea level. 1t Is dome-shaped,
and its slopes for 5000 feet from the
top are covered with everlasting snow
and great fields of gllttering ice.
The climb down must have been
rather difficult for Noah, his family
and all the animals disembarked from
the ark. AS for an ascent to the top,
1t was formerly believed to be Inn
possible. The Armenian monks de-
clared that remains of the Noachian
bark still existed on the summit, and
that by reason of their sapCtity su-
pernatural influence forbade approach.
Nevertheless, in September, 1929, a
bold climber, Or. Johann Parrot, sue
ceeded in reaching the top of Ararat,
and on coming down stated that he
had found not even the keel of the
ark up there. Since then the feat has
been repeated by several other adj
venturous persons.
Ararat comes pretty near to being
the most beautiful mountain in the
world. 1t Is q long-extinct volcano.
standing almost isolated save for
lesser peak, called Little Ararat, which
Greatly part of it) Is q cone of eXqui-
site symmetry-an ideal volcano of
type plainly recognizable as an ash
pile formed about an eruptive chin
ney.
Below, in the valley Of Araxes, was
the Garden of Eden, according to Ar
menian tradition. At Marsand, in that
neighborhood, was ESQ say the monks)
the burial place of Noah's wife. At
Arguri a village near q great chasm
that runs into the heart of the noun
tain, Noah planted the first vineyard.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain--the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR., Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney.
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.--Adv.

"Radio. Compass" New Invention.

The naval communication service is
perfecting a new and important inven-
ton called a "radio-compass."
To illustrate its use A ship, let us
say, is 200 miles out at sea. Owing
TO persistent bad weather, her navi-
eating officer has not been able for
many days to get a sight of the sun.
He has lost his bearings, and can only
guess at his latitude and longitude.
But he has on board a radlo-compass
an instrument otherwise called "di-
rection-f1nder." His wireless outfit en-
ables him TO receive messages from
shore stations. The rado-compass
gives him the directions of the sta
tions from which these messages come.
Thus he can locate the position of the
ship with eXactness, and the problem Of
navigation Is safely solved.

BOSCHEE'S SYRUP

when Boschee's Syrup has been used
so successfully for fifty-one years in

coughs, bronchitis, colds settled in the
throat, especially lung troubles? 1t
gives the patient a good nights rest,
free from coughing, with easy expec-
toration in the morning, gives nature
a chance to soothe the intiamed parts,
throw off the disease, helping the pa
tient to regain his health. Made in
America and sold for more than half
a century.-Adv.

Starving i'm The
Midst OF PLENTY
Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

One of the worst features of acid.
stomach is that very often it literally
starves its victims in the midst OF
plenty. And the strange thing about
1t is that the people with acid-stomachS
seldom know what their trouble
really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be, or how much they
eat. they do not gain in strength.
This Is clearly explained by the fact
thar an acid-stomach cannot properly
digest food. Instead of healthy. nor
NAL digestion, the excess acid causes
the food to sour and ferment. Then
when this mass of sour, fermented
food, charged with excess acid, passes
into the intestines, ii becomes the
breeding place for all kinds OF germs
and toxic poisons, which in turn are
absorbed into the blood and in this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that is exactly why it is
that so many thousands of people eat
and eat and keep on eating and yet
are literally starving in the midst of
plenty. Their acid-stomachs make it
absolutely impossible for them to get
the full measure of nourishment out
of their food. And 1t doesn't take
long for this poor nourishment to show
its III effects in a weakened, ENACT
ated body.
You may say: "My stomach doesn't
hurt me-" That may be true because
many victims of aeidstomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who do suffer
all kinds of aches and pains-head-
aches, rheumatic twinges, govt, lum-
bago, pains around the heart and In
the chest-who never dream that an
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1919-04-10

acid-stomach is the real cause OF the
trouble.
Naturally, the sensible thing to do
is to strike right at the very cause of
this trouble and clean the excess acid
out of the stomach. There is a quick,
easy way to do this. A wonderful new
remedy quickly removes the excess
acid without the slightest discomfort.
1t is EATONIC. Made in the form
of tablets-they are good to eat-just
ike bit of candy. They literally
absorb the injurious excess acid and
carry it away through the intestines.
They also drive the bloat out of the
body-in fact you can fairly feel it
work. Make q test of EATONIC In
your own case today. Get a big box
of EATONIC from your druggist See
for yourself how surely it brings quick
relief in those painful attacks of In
digestion, bitter heartburn, belching,
disgusting food repeating, that awful
bloated, lumpy feeling after eating and
other stomach miseres. Danish all
your stomach troubles so completely
that you forget you have stomach.
Then you can eat what you like and
digest your food in comfort without
fear of distressing after effects.
If EATONIC does not relieve you,
1t Will not cost you one penny. You
can return 1t to your druggist and get
your money back. So If you have the
slightest question about your health
IF you feel you are not getting all
the strength out of your food-if you
are not feeling tip-top, ready for your
work, full Of vim and vigor--do give
EATONIC a fair trial this very day
and see how much better you will feel.
