500 SKELETONS OF INDIANS
FOUND IN MOUNTAIN CAVE

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. A.
More than 500 skulls and skeletons,
discovered in a cave near Bristol,
are believed by DR.. Alec Hrdlicka,
noted scientist from the Smithsonian
institute, Washington, to have been
placed there before Columbus dis
covered America. He said he had
established the fact that the skulls
were those of Cherokee Indians.
He deplored the motive that led peo-
pie in the vicinity of the cave to
disturb the soil and stones on the
floor Of the crevice, declaring that
this made his work of ascertaining
the age of the bones much more
difficult. Much more could have
been learned, said the scientist, had
not the two caves been disturbed.
Almost everything in the cave of
any worth had been taken out or
smashed by rocks, following the
finding of the great stack of human
skeletons,

A Cincinnati Barber Tells How to
Make q Remedy for Gray Hair

A we'll known resident of Cincin-

for more than forty years, recently
made the following statement:
Anyone can prepare u simple
mixture at home, at very little cost,
that will darken gray hair, and
make it soft and glossy. To halt
pint of water add 1 ounce bay rum,
a small box of Barbo Compound and
Ia ounce glycerine. These insre-
dents can be bought at any drug
store at very little cost. Apply to
the hair twice a week until the de-
sired shade is obtained. This will
make a gray-haired person look
twenty years younger. 1t is easy
to use, does not color the most
delicate scalp, is not sticky or
greasy and does not rub off. "--(Ad-
