TELL OF BABYL0NlAN LIFE
Interesting Revelations in Clay Tablets
That Were "Written" On Some
Forty Centuries Ago.

The University Of South Dak>R at
Vermihio0 has come into possession
Of 81 genuine Babylonian tablets, dis
covered by Arabs in the ruins Of bur-
led cities and collected at Bagdad.
They have been deciphered by. DIR.
Edgar J. Banks Of Alpine. N. J., an
authority on these clay and brick rec
ords Of 1900 years ago, and their
authenticity proved. Fully half Of the
tablets in this collection are perfect
and all Of them are legible. They are
only few inches in size and were
written on when they were soft clay,
1ater being dried, or baked. Most Of
them are Of about the date 1850 B. c.,
q few going as far back as $500 B. c.,
and others dating from the time of
the fall Of Babylon before the Per-
slams, in 538 b. c. The most valuable
tablet of the collection is a letter.
Holes were made through it so that
it might be attached to a cord and
carried in this way Next in point of
value and interest are a number of
neo-Babylonian tablets Of sundried
clay containing business contracts OF
all sorts and giving pictures Of the
life Of the people aftef the Persian
conquest. OF special interest is q
small tablet Of exercises in writing,
done by some boy in the temple school
over 40 centuries ago.

CUTTING THIRD. SET Of TEETH
llsmphit (Tean.) Man, At a, ts<A'se
hess,xi: His Youth and vi9er
l ! IN Other Ways.

" 81 Tie adage that there is nothing new
hhGcr the sun has been disproved by
N. y. Starr, who has cut third set
pf teeth at the age Of eighty -four.
when usually the only new molars,
bicusp8ds, ETC., that can be achieved
are those purchased from dentist,
says the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
.5SE Mr.. Starr, who is in the employ Of
the Memphis Artesian Water company,
recently found himself in need Of 4 set
OF these artificial substitutes for the
teeth provided by nature. But when
he visited his dentist the price was too
high and he decided to 90 toothless.
However, through one Of the unac"
countable happenings which some
times upsets all rules, Mr.. Starr dis
covered that he was cutting IL new
teeth. They are almost through now.
although they are not very useful yet,
ewing to the fact that his gums are
sore in q fashion familiar to all moth
ers of teething infants Or to boys and
girls whose second teeth are replacing
their baby teeth. and even the older
boys and girls who proudly announce
"1'm cutting wisdom tooth"
Dentists doubtless will contend
that such a thing cannot happen. But
Mr.. Starr knows that he now has teeth
where no teeth were before. More
over, he says his eyesight Is better
than 1t was several years ago, and
that so far from his vigor being i'm
paired by advancing years he feels
stronger and more youthful than he
did when he was seventy.

A Good Catch.

1t Is impossible to repress feeling
Of satisfaction over the feat Of the
Atlantic City game warden, who ap-
pretended the owner of seaplane
guilty Of shooting wild geese in the
air. The law against this sort of
>"sport' is strict, and the penalty pro-
yided for offenders is ample. And, as
bird shooting from the air is on
plane with the use of dynamite and
seines in closed waters, the more rig
idly the statute is enforced the better.
Any leniency would be disastrous to
the bird life of the country and calam-
itous to the United States.-DetrOit

Our Obligations


Citizenship consists of two things
which are inseparable: our obliga-
ton and our privileges. If we had
mot assumed our obligationn to fight
Germany we would not be able to en-
JOY the rights of freedom now. Let's
apply this to the field of education
You and have passed the point of
going to school and have acquired
what education we have. But how
about the coming generations Are
they not entitled to the best educa-
ton possible and is it not your duty
as we'll as mine, to see they get the
best and nothing but the best? Sure
ly this is your obligation~as citizen
Another fact you must realize is this
although you may not have gone
very far in school and yet have made
success in life that is not a reason
for believing your children can do
the same because society has moved
on and is more complicated than it
was when you went to school. AS a
matter of fact each generation needs
more education than the previous
one.
There is no greater enemy for de-
mocraey than ignorance. The great

what you can in your community to
make that desert as small as you
can? Are you more interested in

believe 1t at first hearing, we feel Sc
cure IN accepting its truth now. The
following experience of Belding
woman is confirmed after thirteen
years.
Mrs. Geo. Martin, 934 S. Bridge
street, says: "For some time / had
been bothered with heavy pains
across my body, darting aches in my
back and through my kidneys. At
times, l had sensations of fainting,
dizzy spells and headaches. Several
OF these attacks made me so weak,
/ couldn't keep around the house. A
neighbor advised me to use Doan's
kidney Pills and after procuring a
supply from Connell's Drug store, /
used them with the best of results.
My trouble was cured. / am glad to
endorse remedy that has the merit
and healing qualities ! found in
