ANCIENT BUILDING A MARVEL
Magnlfcence of the Labyrinth Greek
Writer, Herodotus, Found Almost
Beyond His Description.

The ancient Egyptians had at Ar
since. nenr Lake Moers in the Fayoum
district, west of the Nile, one of the
most noted buildings ever in the world
the Labyrinth. There was one on
the island of Lemnos, in the Aegean
sea; another on the island of Crete, In
the Mediterranean, and one in Italy.
But that of Egypt was by far the most
ancient.
Myth, tradition, legend, mystery and
awe are to be found in obscure say
ings about it in remnants Of Greek
classical literature. II was composed
Of 1900 chambers. 1900 below the
earth's surface and 1900 above. The
grand hlerophants permitted Herodo-
tus to enter some Of the chambers
above, but not below. The Greek writer
could scarcely find words with which
to describe the beauty and splendor Of
the famous edifce. He says:
1.-THE upper chambers | myself Wis
tied, and pronounce them among the
grandest efforts Of human industry and
art. The almost infinite number of
winding passages through the different
courts excited my highest admiration
from spacious halls | passed through
smaller chambers, and from them again
TO large and magnificent saloons almost
without end. The walls and ceilings
are marble, the latter embellished with
the most exquisite sculpture; around
each court pillars OF the richest and
most polished marble are arranged.

THE ELUSIVE GIRL

Billy was in a state OF detection. II
seemed that life was not worth living,
After following girl around for
months In hopeful longing, he had
picked up the evening paper, only to
find her charming face portrayed on
the feature page. with an account Of
her wedding to take place that night.
BIZ went down to the lake where his
boat lay, and thought the thing over.
He had come upon this girl one
heaven-sent afternoon at garden
party and as he approached delighted
ly, to sue for introduction, the girl
was switched of in an automobile.
His next meeting, by good fortune,
was In an ice cream shop, where the
haunting young person enjoyably
slipped soda. And though Billy i'm
medIately claimed the stool next 10
hers and racked his brains for some
excusable means Of conversation, the
girls cold demeanor forbade uncon-

Billy was In love, deeply, desperate
". The latest proof OF his distract

Bolllver's will. BY that will his de-
parted aunt beQueathed to Billy her
entire estate, upon condition that he
be married, on his twenty-elghth birth
day, when he was to fall heir. And as
his twenty-elghth birthday drew near,
Billy. naturally, considered marriage.
Heretofore, the condition was not at
all formidable. He knew many nice
girls, and had mentally sorted those
most pleasing down to three, any one
OF which he was comfortably certain
would make him happily suitable
wife.
Marriage with any other was out of
the question. He had endeavored to
learn the girls name: But the hostess
Of the garden party, honored by the
Fair ones presence, grew perpexed
trying. to solve Billie's problem.
There had been so many lovely
girls" she said.
Bill turned away disgustedly. To hin

Milk and Man

Consider milk. When man first
stepped across the threshold Of
history with his letters.
numerals, levers. wheels. tools.
his dog sheep. and beasts of burden.
he also led a COW. 1t is a safe guess
that the 10 was mans food source
a long time before that too.
Milk is just as indispensable to-
day.
study reveals TO Us why 1t is an
indispensable food.
Among modern nations the milk
source-the breast for infants; then
cows and goats. After Infancy cows
milk is By far the most important.
All milk consists Of fats, proteins.
carbohydrates, vitamines, salt and
water, though the various milka
vary in proportions. However. milk
from domestic animals can be so di-
vided and supplemented as to make
II the most suitable food for infants
when the maternal supply fails.
All fresh milk is alike in contain
ing those recently recognized sub
stances known as vitamines. which
seem TO be regulative factors in the
assimilation Of food. Without them
nutrition is faulty, especially in bone
and muscle development. Vitamines
appear to be constituents of fruits
and vegetables as well as OF milk.
They are somewhat hypothetical.
like X-rays and electricity-seen in
their effects rather than in them
selves.
Their presence in milk apparently
depends upon the supply's freshness
and the diet of the milk giver.
Cows milk may be poor in vitam-
ines unless the COW has a balanced
ration, especially containing a due
amount of fresh. green food. A
mothers milk probably VIII be siml
ilarly poor unless her diet in
cludes less OF the bulky monotonous
cereals served in breads and heavy
mushes only. the fried meat and the
single starchy vegetable like the po-
tato and more Of the fresh fruits
and vegetables. with fresh, clean
milk as a valuable addition.
The conclusion of the matter is
that we have in the cow n of
mankind's oldest friends. Delivered
from disease, fed properly and
housed cleanly. she will supply
food for which there is no substitute.
