BAALBEK: CITY OF THE SUN.
CON


Baalbek, in Syria. which in the
days of Augustus Caesar would have
been given a run column on the
front page of a newspaper, had
there been such a medium for the
transmission OF news, now presents
a plea to the public in a small stick
in newspaper dispatches to note that
it prefers attachment to the Grand
Lebanon rather than annexation by
Damascus.
This namesake city of the sun
god once enjoyed a position of great
commercial Importance, as it was

thence to Europe" says a bulletin
of the National Geographic Society

Though its earliest history is
shrouded in darkness, it is certain
hat at a very early date it was a
chief seat of sur worship. Lying in
the plain of Buka'a about forty miles
from Damascus in a well watered
area which forms a watershed for
the Orontes river, along whose val
ley the armies and traffic of all ages
have passed TO and from Egypt, it
attained a position of prominence in
the early Christian era.
CleOpatra's Needles
The Greeks. during the Seleucid-
ian dynasty. changed the name of
Baalbek into the Greek equivalent
for city of the sun-god,' Heliopolis,
and this was subsequently adopted
by the Romans. The city, however,
is not to be confused with the cele-
brated Heliopolis of Lower Egypt,
which was the seat of the Egyptian
worship of the sur. In the latter

that constitute the present city of
1000 Inhabitants, the stately ruins
of what must have been one of the
most magnificent of Syrian cities
now stand out as a tribute to the
energy and culture of a people, the
long arm of whose power was felt
throughout the then-known world.
Most of the known history of the
place dates from the time when
Augustus planted a Roman colony

YOUR WORTH
BY DIR. w. Z. BARTON

Before the war England esti-
mated that every pauper cost the
government or the community sup
porting the pauper $4,000. On the
present scale of living that cost
would be greatly increased.
Paupers are rather long-lived.
When a man goes to the poor house
and accepts the situation without
further mental protest, he eats as
much as is good for him and has
clothing ana shelter sufficient for
his simple comfort.
Probably the average American
of 40 or so has cost ten times as
mucr as the British pauper. Be-
tween the payment of the doctor
n the nurse at one end of life
and the doctor and the undertaken
at the other end lies for the aver
age American 1 judge not less
than 100000 which somebody has
to pay.
The average man must be worth
this sum to the community, or the
community would long ago have
gone bankrupt. The average man
produces more than he consumes;
he is an asset instead of a liability
to the community.
But that is not true of every

home is unattractive. he lodges the

Ills pleasures are necessarily

to the better forms of amusement
and he therefore tends to the en-
joyment OF bodily appetites.
His wife and children are drag

poverty and wre.chedness. and are
Inundated and unhappy.
There has been 100 per cent i'm

DI OINs Ihs IL DloIlOI
Since prohibition there has been
more poison, masked under the
name of whiskey, swallowed Nck-
lessly than we should attempt to
reckon.
Many people have learned to
drink since 1t has become prohibited
in the same spirit that the small boy
goes behind the barn or garage to
indulge in a cornsilk cigaret. Were
they driking interpretation liquor,
the harm to their systems and es-
pecially to their livers would not be
SO great.
The liver will bear up under con-
tinued strain for an amazing length
of time. But when it does break
down it is difficult ever to repair it.
The quickest way to wear out the
liver is by making it continually
fight against poisons thrown into the
body. One of the liver's greatest du-
ties is to protect the body from tox-
ms or poisons. 1t will do this eff
fectively for a Tong time.
For instance, a man drinks a little
too much whisky or some other alco-
