wayside fountains in the suburbs Of
Mexico City and one in particular Is
Of great interest because of the in
scribed stones planted near it. Many
of the old Aztec ruins and monumen
nave been likened to those of Egypt
and Assyra and archeologists can
trace connection in the style and
inscriptions. Many years could be
spent in travel in Mexico in inspecting
ruins and searching for carved stones
and monuments.
Home of Maximiliaa "N"
OF course the most historic ruins
so far known are those of Militia but
there are also strange ruins and his
toric carvings near Cuernevaca, the
summer home of MaXimilian. 1t takes
several days and q horseback ride to
reach some of these ruins but the
trip is well worth the discomfort.
Charles Dudley Warner says that no
ruins in Egypt or Assyria can compare
with these in beauty. A temple in the
ruins of Nochicalco measures seventy
five feet long by sixty-eight feet wide
and is built of cut stone.
Cuernevaca means the Cows Horn"
and 1t is city on a ridge shaped some-
what like horn. II is a health resort
much visited by Mexicans and for
eigners and aside from the magnificent
climate, the charm of the place is en-
hanced by the magnificent views, some
OF the hnest in Mexico. The weight
OF centuries rests on the buildings, the
streets are morrow and cobble stoned

Drought water to the town. Cortez
introduced the sugar mill here and had
vast sugar cane plantations just out
SIDE or town. The whole place makes
a ntting Introduction to the explora-
tion or the ruins situated in the near
distance. Besides rock with pre-
historic carvings near the old home
OF Cortez, there are other remarkable
stones. One on high hill represents q
lizard, nine feet long and about three
miles from this is an eagle in stone

Ambrose, when he secured from the
Emperor Theodosius a public ac-
acknowledgement of the slaughter of
seven thousand Thessalonians.
one prominent man declared THAT
while Won Kissing and his brilliant
staff would doubtless never enter the
aisles of the Antwerp CATHEDRAL as
penltant suppliants, yet who is there
to withhold from Cardinal MERCER the
same chaplet of wisdom and courage
that made memorable the name of
Ambrose of Milan?"
Protestant Opinion
The Right Rev. Samuel Fellows. of
the Reformed Episcopal Church,
speaks of him as follows: His arm
has never lifted q sword, has carried
nothing heavier than a book or
crozier, yet it wields more power over
his c0untrymen than any other man in
Belgium, not even excepting that of
Albert his beloved king. Such spir-
itual heroism as Cardinal MERCER has
displayed since the beginning of the
war has never been equaled in the
worlds history"
At present the Cardinal who is most
approachable and pleasant. receives in

silly cruel children and that l should
do something for them" The Cardinal
used these words publicly while the
Germans were in Belgium, yet only a
weak letter came from the Governor
General warning the Cardinal to be
more careful. To this he paid not the
slightest attention. but when his IA
nous pastoral letter was read in the
churches in Belgium the Germans
were furious and made an attempt to
imprison the Cardinal for they feared
to harm and sought revenge on the
printer who set it in type by imprison-
Ing him and capturing the copies from
the less notable priests at point of
bayonet They destroyed $4,000 cop
les but its message had already gone
forth to the world and all civilization
realized that Germany was beaten.
The entire letter is too long to be
repeated here but some of it is so
Illuminating that it shows the great
ness Of the Cardinal as a writer, for
his sermons seem more powerful,
sharp and incisive when written and
surely nothing greater than this ad-
vice to his 'parishioners has appeared
during the war.
God will save Belgium, my breth-
He is saving her.
across the smoke of conaagration,
across the stream of blood, have you
not glimpses, do you not perceive signs y
Of His love for use Is there a patriot
among us who does not know that
Belgium has grown great? Now which
Of us would have the heart to cancel
this last page of our national history?
Which of us does not eXult in the
brightness Of the glory of this Shat
tered nation. When in her throes she
brings forth heroes our mother coun-
try gives to our enemy the blood of
these sons of hers"
Then follows justification of obed-
ionce to patriotism as a Christian duty
which in some of its passages rises to
points of genuine eloquence. To the
suggestion offered by certain citizens
of neutral states that Belgium might
have saved herself so great a loss Of
wealth and life, and that a single can
served the. purpose to protest. the
Cardinal Indignantly replies:
"Assuredly all men of good feelings
will be with us in our reception Of
these paltry counsels. Mere militar-
ism is no sufficient rule of Christian
ship. On the contrary 1 hold it as
part of the obligation of my Episcopal
office to instruct you as to your duty
in face Of the power that has invaded
our soil and the greater part of our
country. The authority of that power
is no lawful authority. therefore, in
soul and conscience you owe neither
respect, nor attachment, nor obed-
ience."
Belgium was compelled to pay s10,.
100000 a month as war tribute, but
she remained unconquered in spirit on
a hunk of bread and bowl of broth"

in this building it will be keeping
company with Indian idols sculpture
and relics which are constantly being
added to by the reception of relics
from all parts of the country. The
Government has decreed an owner
ship on all antiquities wherever found
in Mexico and has caused them to be
brought to this Museum. As a result
there are idols from temples, orna-
ments from palaces, jewels shields
and arms of the Aztecs and Toltecs
and picture writings, together with
curiosities dating to the days Of the
Conquest. We have nothing in the
United States unless it be the Smith
sonian Institute to compare with this
remarkable museum. II is a wise plan
to secure a guide in going through this
building and to purchase one Of the
catalogues which is issued in English

tematized so that attendants and paint

most remarkable exhibits in the world.
Calendar Stone
Naturally the heavy archaeological
specimens are on the ground floor and
some of them were dug up in the
streets nearby. The room containing
Nem is called Galeria de Monolithos
Gallery of the Monoliths) and Pori-
rio DiaZ showed great interest in the
arrangement of the collection. The
room has ceiling which dates from
the time Of the early Spanish conquer
ors. Undoubtedly the most remark
able stones in these priceless relics
Of prehistoric days are the Aztec
Calendar Stone and the Sacrifcal
stone. The Calendar Stone has some
times been called the stone of the
Sun" and it weighs in the neighbor-
hood Of fifty tons and this Is about
the weight as when found. The Indians
say it was transported from the noun
tains beyond Lake Chalco, a distance
Of many leagues over a broken coun-
try. After its arrival in Tenochtitlan
(Mexico City) and the destruction of
the temple there were efforts to dis
credit the use of this stone and one
Archbishop caused it to be reburied.
1t was dug up later, moved to the
tower of the Cathedral and finally
found a resting place in the Museum.
The central figure represents the sun
and the segments radiating toward the
edge of the disc are symbolic of its
rays. The four elements--air, fire,
water and earth-the years and the
days of the Aztec month are all repre-
sented and there are symbols of
heaven. the world, the stars, and
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1919-09-17

The other large stone before which
all sghtseers pause is the Sacrifcial
or Seventh King, of Mexico Stone,
which was found near the Cathedral
of Mexico in 1891. Its immense
weight prevented its being easily moved
and workmen were trying to break 1t
up for paving stone when it was res
cued. 1t was buried again but was
eXhumed and transferred to the
Museum. There is deep cut run
ming from the center to the edge and
down the side. Some authorities say
the workmen injured the stone here
Others think 1t was n groove down
which ran the blood of the victims
The carvings represent victories and
men, women and children were sacri-
feed on it to satisfy the god of rain
Prescott gives in detail the horrible
killing of innocent victims, the large
number of spectators and the tortures
which were usually inflicted before the
poor victim was killed.
Many Aztec Stones
Other strange Aztec stones are "The
God of War" (HutzilopochtlD a huge
block of basalt covered with crude and
repusive earrings which was dug up
near Chapultepec Castle; "The Plumed
Serpent" (QuetzalcoatD or God of Air,
which Is a figure with realistic feath-
ers carved in stone; Morning Star"
(TlahuizcalpantecuhtlD, massive
head with Eastern cast of the Buddha
type and an ancient Goddess of Water
which was found near the base of one
of the pyramids just outside of Mex
leo City. One of the strangest of the
many monuments is a recumbent fig
ure in stone. lying on it's back with
both hands holding round disk on
the stomach. 1t was found in Yucatan
and is sometimes called Chac-Mool or

statue is supposed to have presided
over the wonderful gardens for which
Atzcapozalco was noted in early Aztec
times and it is impossible to guess how
old it is. What adds to the interest of
this newly found statue is that ii was
unearthed in town which is full of
legends. Atzcapozalco prior to the COM
ing of Cortez was the home of a pow

mart. The name really means "ant
hill" and it was given because even
hundred years before the Conquest it
was full to overhowing. Today, this

as its chief attraction a craven image

Feeding the Undernourished Child

Children require foundation of
good health, made by adequate nour-
ishment, but many of them in this
country are not laying this founda-
ton. The United States Department
of Agriculture is assisting the vari-
GUS agencies working to correct this
condition. Undernourishment is not
confined to the slums. Many little
Tony or Pietro, with his bowl of
thick soup and hunk of dry bread,
topped off with an apple or an or
ange, is better fed than numbers of
children in we1l-to-do families. The
latter are too often allowed to choose
what they will or will not eat, and
to select food badly suited to child's
stomach or that is lacking in nourish-
ment. When this happens they are
being starved just as much as if
their parents, because of poverty,
were obliged to give them too scanty
ration. Soggy breads, fried meats,
fried potatoes, and heavy pie are re-
sponsible for many under-fed chill
dren.
Milk is absolutely necessary to
keep the growing child in health. It
contains growth-producing sub
stances not found in any other food.
The Dairy Division of the Depart
ment of Agriculture is endeavoring
to drive this lesson home to the peo-
pie in every state by means of charts,
lectures and exhibits. The home
demonstration agents, supervised by
the Department of Agriculture and
State colleges, are also teaching the
value of milk in child's diet and
how to select a proper meal for a
growing boy or girl. Children who
have been given even one pint of
milk every school day for two months
have made remarkable gains in every
instance.
