REVIVE TAHITI LORE
Excavators Search Ruins for Rel
les Of Ancient Worship.
Temples Where Human Sacrifices
Were offered Destroyed by Mis-
sionaries Centuries Ago.

Papeete, Tahiti.-The ancient lore
of Tahiti Is to be resurrected and the
ruins Of the temples Of the South Pa
cific islanders, ordered destroyed a
century ago by Christian mission
aries, are to be uncovered by excava-
tlOn.
Efforts to gather the relics of for
gotten worship are being vigorously
prosecuted here.
So completely were the wishes Of
the missionaries carried out that moth
ing remains save traces Of the founda-
lions Of the great central temple of
Marae at Atehurn, on Tahiti island.
where human sacrifices were offered
to the bloodthirsty god Of war, "Oro."
Excavations are expected to bring
to light some interesting objects,
which,sit is hoped. will reveal the pur-
poses and uses of this ancient struc-
ture.
Marae, while being the chief temple
of Tahiti. was not the Oldest or the
most important In the islands. The
temple at OpOa. traces Of which still
remain on the island Of Raintea, was
the sacred center Of religion In the
eastern Pacific and not until stone
from this had been Incorporated In
the structure did the Marae temple
at Tahiti become cOnsecrated.
1t was at Marae that Captain Cook
witnessed the ceremonies OF human
sacrifices chrOnicfpd In his "VOyages"
The natives, while processing Chris
tianity and manifesting il by most ac-
tive church attendance have deep
fear OF these places. Under no cir
cumstances will they approach these
temples at night, nor venture near
them by day without great trepida-
tion, believing that shoulh they in any
way offend the sleeping gods Ven
geance will come.

package grains serve a purpose in
saving cooking, affording variety
and insuring cleanliness.
Oatmeal does contain more nour-
ishment than wheat, but the starch,
fat, protein and minerals are not so
we'll balanced.
"Whole wheat" means that all of
the berryis present--thatn none of the
bran or germ has been removed, as in
white flour. 1t does not mean that the
oerry keeps its original shape, and
q true whole wheat may be finely
ground or only cracked. The length
# time that you cook it depends
somewhat on how it is ground. That
$ you would add to whole cracked
wheat about five times it's bulk of
water and cook it preferably over
night in fireless cooker. If whole
wheat meal is used, more finely
ground, use four times the bulk Of
water and cook two hours in double
boiler, or over night if for young
children or invalids.
Keep as close to nature as you
can, but do not make a fetish of
these points. Whole wheat bread,
milk and fresh vegetables and fruits
will compensate for small amounts of
minerals removed in cleansing
grains, and so variety and conven-
ience may be safely served by de-
parting from the whole grains at
times, though their superiority be
