dress Before Local
WOman's Club

INTO TWO CLASSES
Wise. Whose Faces Are Toward Light.
and Otherwise, Who Are Harmless
Like Wooden Indian - Club Makes
Two Appropriations

An appeal for higher education was the
keynote of the address by Nathan Howard
GIst OF Boston, a Congregational minister
leeturing under the auspices of the Red
path Lyceum Bureau, before members of
the Brattleboro Woman's club and teach
ers OF the public schools of the town. who
were invited as guests Of the club on tie
occasion of the annual observance of ed
ucation day in Odd Fellows temple yes
terday afternoon. 4 good sized audience
was present and gave enthusiastic sun
port to the speaker. The address was
one OF the most forceful given before the
club this season and the word illustrations
used to bring out the various points more
clearly were unusually well chosen and vet
amusing, creating laughter at intervals.
1t was heartily enjoyed
DR.. Gist, who was introduced bv the
President, Mrs. {. l.. Stickney, spoke on
the subject. The Wise and Otherwise
He divided humanity into two classes, the
wise and otherwise, saying that the wise
were those who have their faces toward
the light and always are ready to go for
ward, and the otherwise are those who are
perfectly harmless, like the wooden In
dian who has not taken step in the last
% years and will not take step in the
next 80 years
He remarked that in the past years the
Wise have changed their minds while the
otherwise have not, applying the change
to the question of education by saying
| chat it was impossible to think of educa-
| tion as it was carried on 20 years ago.
| that there must be progress in the field
OF education but that there could be no
proTress without the change of minds
There was a time. he said, when education
was thought to be a luxury and not an
absolute necessity, and added that we are
coming to see that 1t is not question of
whether the individual wants to go to
| school, but that he must go to school If
we are going to empty the iaiis and pen
itentiaries it is necessary that people
shall be educated

History Of Ethiopia
Now Made Possible

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 90
Discovery of the tombs of twenty
six generations of Ethiopian kings
and the recovery of material buried
for more than 1000 years which
makes it possible for the first time to
write the history of Ethiopia, were
received today by the joint Egyptian
expedition of Harvard university
and the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts. The expedition, in charge of
Prof. George A. Reisner. of Har-
ward, was in Egypt ten years. Its
findings in part have been reported
from time to time.
The discovery of the lost civiliza-
ton Of Ethiopia was made at Napata,
now called Gebel Barkala. The royal
cemeteries were found outside the
city. At Nuri, at the south, on a
low knoll near the river Nile, arch
biologists examined group of pyra-
mids which proved to be the tombs
of the twenty kings and twenty-five
queens of Ethiopia, from $50 to $50
B. c., most of whose names had
been lost to human knowledge.
Excavations gradually uncovered
the burial chamber of Tirhaqu, the
king of Ethiopia mentioned in the
book of Isaiah, who was one of the
five Ethiopian monarchs who ruled
Egypt; and then one by one uncov'
cred the tonbs of all the other kings,
queens, princes and princesses OF
Ethiopia for period of more than
four centuries

Thousands of housewives have

has no equal for prompt results. it
takes right hold of cough and gives
immediate relief, usually stopping an
ordinary cough in "a hours or less.
Get 21% ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into a pint bottle,
and add plain graduated sugar syrup
to make full pint. If you prefer,
use clarified molasses, honey, or corn
syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either
way, it tastes good, keeps perfectly
and lasts family a long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly
it acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lungs

ness or bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a special and highly con.
centrated compound of genuine Nor
way pine extract known the world over
for its healing effect on membranes.
