Archaeology in Cuba.
(New York Post. )


 Recent weeks have again brought of British and American archaeological discoveries in Egypt' Palestine and Greece. But own hemisphere also offers a wide field to delivers, the Vaccinations of which is Mexico Central America, and the Southwest are well known; and new additions to knowl- edge of it have just been made by report or lhe Museum of the American Indian or it's researches Tn Cuba in 1915 and 1919 The evidence it has amassed from the ransacking of caves the dsembowelling of hillocks and the sitting of muckbeds in curious like tifcation of the accuracy of the heroic missionary reformer, Las Casas, historian. Las Casas who went to the West Indies ten years after Columbus discovered the New World, wrote in his "Historia that Cuba had been populated from Haiti, though it is that the oldest and native people of that island (Cuba) were an exceedingly simple people called in their language Ciboyes, and they of this island (Hati) either by persuasion force took possession of that island (Cuba), and had them for their servants" Some later writers have supposed that these simply two related tribes; but the American Investigations show them two distinct peo- pies, of two very unequal cultures.
 These new Cuban researches offer basis for a plausible theory of the peopling of the Antilles They suggest that originally wave of primitive cave dweers the Ciboneys, set out from South America and passed through the Lesser Antilles to Haiti and Cuba. They were followed by wave of Arawak In dians able build houses and grow maize and cas- sava. The Arawak culture developed to higher form in Porto Rico and Haiti, and finally made conquest Eof nearly all Cuba but not of Jamaica In the third place of blood-thrsty Caribs, staying and desolating who seized the Lesser Antilles, but made only piratca raids of Cuba.
 Archaeology thus enables the scientist to recon struct history of peoples who ignorant not merely the written word but, of every tradition. Work such the Museum of the American Indian has begun to do in Cuba has been done by the Amer ican Museum of American History = interested in both archaeology and anthropology-in various Amer ican fields. most notably in the Southwest. Showing that the New World is in ways exceedingly old world it reveals vstas of American history that are too much ignored.

The Nations Honor.
Chicago Tribune ]

The question of free Panama Canal tolls for Ameri- can ships is which has been put into temporary abeyance by the pressing problems of tariff and taxation in Congress, but which inevitably be revived when Congress and acquits it. self of the more pressing problems. For that it will be well if Congressmen who occupying the recess by contact with their constituencies acquaint themselves with public opinion on this subject.
 The Hay-Paucefote treaty with Great Britain under the terms of which the United States constructed the Canal reads: "The Canal shall be free and open to the vessels of and of all nations obey ing these rules, terms of entire equality so that there shall be no discrimination against any ton, or it's citizens subjects in respect ditions or charges of traffic, otherwise"
 Nothing could be clearer than that. Efforts to in- erpret it meaning equal tolls all nations excep the United States obviously forced and nsncere Our national honor is pledged.

CLASS OF SALTS
 CLEANS KIDNEYS
If Your Back Hurts or Blad- der Bothers You Drink
 Lots of Hot Water

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flush ing them with mild, harmless salts which removes the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to thir normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In "A hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital impor- tance of keeping the kidneys active.
 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any phar- macist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning for few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia and has been used for generations to clean and stim ulate clogged kidneys; also to neutral. ize the acid in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.

When Mollie Showed Her Teller Ho

When Mollie Showed Her Teller How
 to Milk the Brindle Cow When Mollie showed her feller how
 to milk the brindle COW, He always missed the bucket, till
 Mollie showed him how; When MOllie showed her feller how
 to milk the brindle COW, The COW she kicked the bucket, and
 her feller kicked the COW. When Mollie showed her feller how
 to milk the brindle COW, He tried his best to do 1t, but he
 didn't know how; He kept his eyes on Mollie, and he
 wasn't very quick, And that's the very reason that he
 made Brindle kick. He wasn't any quitter, and he had a
 fighters will, But Brindle didn't like him. and she
 wouldn't stand still; He tried to hold her steady. but sne
 lashed him with her tail: She stepped on Mollie's feller, and
 upset the milking pail. He chased her to a corner. where he
 tried to sooth her fears, With Mollie's merry laughter making
 music in his ears; He milked his very darndest; on
 his forehead was a frown; But Brindle was contrary, and she
 wouldn't "give it down."

to be discontinued. This is not true
1t is true, however, that the rev.

Mr.. Kellogg carried in his hand

is highly imperative that the public
does not forget to furnish stamps
with their letters, and it is just as
important that they write in plain
letters their name as senders.
During the past three years the
volume of parcel post has tripled.
People are coming to use more and
