FOUND OLD INDIAN VILLAGE
turtles Old, Recently Unearthsd
In New York State.

Relics of an Indian village, said to
have its origin as early as 1875. have
been discovered in Clason Point. the
Bronx, according to an announcement
made by the Museum of the American
Indian. Heye foundation. The discov-
cry was made by Alan B. Skinner. ar
cheOlogist of the foundation. The dis
covery is regarded as a very impor-
tant one by the members of the foun-
dation. Research establishes that the
village was probably inhabited by ma
dves of the Siwanoy tribe. known to
very early settlers as "Snakeskins."
The research, made through the
kindness of trustee of the founda-
ton. has established to the satisfac-
ton of the board that the tract re-
mained In possession of its Indian in
habitants until 1925. when It was pur-
chased by Robert Cornell, an English
man. Cornell's family was later mas
sacred by the barbarian tribe. During
the attack he managed to make his
escape on Dutch ship.
Mr.. Skinner was making a pleasure
trip through Clason Point. which is
somewhat of summer resort. last
July. He noticed very large oyster
shells on a mound of sand and recog.
niZed them as Indian boundary line
markings. He obtained permission
from the owner of the land to make
a search of the ground. To the sur.
prise of the searchers. relics of Indian
life were unearthed. Costumes. beads
cooking utensils and complete hair
dress of the Siwanoy tribe were dis
covered. Seventy lodge sites. contain
Ing hundreds of Indian implements
and tools, were also dug up.
The collection contained crude har-
poons. fishhooks. carved tortoise-shell
cups, bodkins and decorated pottery.
Hundreds Of pipes and beautiful
mold jar were discovered intact, and
all are being preserved for public ex-
hibition when the museum opens. This
history speaks Of the Siwanoy practice
of digging sand holes and placing
large quantities of food and other of
ferings to the "Great Snake" 1t was
announced at the museum that the
relics will be placed on exhibition at
the opening of the exhibit.

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they
think something is the matter with their
lungs or heart, and well they may be; but
few people understand the dangers of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have duty
of vital Importance to perform, and if they
are diseased, there is no telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. Tho
kidneys are filters, and when they arc
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purify it. When the kidneys
are diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all through
the system and deposited in various places,
in the form Of urate salts-in the feet,
ankles, wrists and back-often forming
bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result
ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago,
sciatica and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that q certain combina-
ton of remedies would dissolve uric acid
(urate salts) in the system. He found this
combination to be harmless, SO that he
made it up in tablets, of double strength,
aud called them Anuric Tablets. They
dissolve uric acid in the human system as
hot coffee dissolves sugar. If you have
uric acid troubles. don't delay in taking
Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in
the drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you what to eat and
how to live SO that more uric acid will not
form in your system. DR.. Pierce will not
charge for this advice.

Ohio Shakers Producers of
First Poland China Hogs.

The Poland-China hog originated in
Butler and Warren counties, Ohio. In
1916 the Society OF Shakers, in War
ren county. brought some breeding
hogs from Philadelphia. Some of them
were pure white and others white,
with black spots. They were repre-
sented to the Shakers as of pure Chi
nese blood and were called Big Chi
mas. In 1872 a committee Of the Ma
tional Swine Breeders congress report
ed against the theory that Chinas had
been crossed with Polands. but as the
name Poland-China was in general
use advised that it be retained.

SOIL FROM
FRANCE
Earth for Filling Purposes
About Statue Of Liberty

Here is striking instance of thrift
manifesting itself in poetical Justice.
The tiny island in New York harbor
on which stands Bartholdi's Statue of
Liberty is being enlarged. The soil
used for filling-in purposes Comes
from France. 1t is the debris from
the trenches, military railway lines,
warehouses and wharves. 1t was
brought to America as ballast for the
transports that carried our mighty le-
gions IF liberty to France.
Thus is mingled the soil of the two
republics as setting for the worlds
most typical symbol of liberty, just as
the bodies of thousands of American
sons are today mingled with the soil
of France under the crosses where
they lie. In this humble yet beautiful
demonstration of the kindred, ideals
of the two nations, American thrift,
which did so much to make victory
possible, was the underlying impulse.

FOR POULTRY
GROWERS

The farmers of the United States
lose each year large sums because Of
improper methods Of producing and
handling eggs. One-third Of this loss
is easily preventable. 1t Is due'to the
partial Matching Of fertile eggs, ac-
cording to the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The eggs laid by a hen may be
either fertile or infertile, depending
on whether or not the male bird has
been allowed to run with the female.
A fertile egg is one in which the germ
has been fertilized by the male bird.
Except for this process of fertilization
the male bird has no influence upon
the eggs which the hens lay. Egg pro-
duction is equally great in fiocks from
which roosters are excluded.
A fertile egg does not keep as well
as an infertile one because the fertil
lied germ responds more readily to
high temperatures than the unfertil-
lied one. 1t is impossible to hatch an
infertile egg or to cause blood ring
to form in one. Such eggs are much
more likely to reach the table In good
condition and there is less spoilage
in shipments composed entirely OF
them than in mixed shipments of fer
tile and infertile eggs.
Heat is the great enemy Of eggs,
both fertile and infertile. Poultry
growers are urged to follow these sim
pie rules, which cost nothing but time
and thought, and will add dollars to
the poultry-yard returns:
1. Keep the nests clean; provide one
nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
3. Keep the eggs in a cool, dry room
or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice
week.
5. Sell, kill or confine all male birds
as soon as the Matching season is
over.

Canned and Dried Fruits

From proceeds derived chiefly from
