appreciation. She had lost nearly 70
pounds in weight and looked so frail
and weak that her mother and 1 were
both almost worried sick over her con-
dition. Since taking Tanlac, she has
already gained 10 pounds, her color
is better than it ever has been and she
looks and acts like a different girl"
Mrs. Catherine McCabe, Ala Dick

bad condition that I have no idea she
would be with me now if it hadn't
been for Tanlac. 1t is d mystery to

Stonehenge a man either had to buy or
leave it be. Steadily the public market
grew around the great stone temple
Then came games and sports.
All Of this the priests encouraged.
without doubt they got their share of the
profits for the security they guaranteed.
And so Stonehenge developed into per-
haps the first great combined temple, race
course, fair ground and market. And
that is its whole secret.
For many centuries, no one knew
whose were the ancient hands that had
raised the enormous slabs, nor just why
they did 1t. Legends and fragments Of
folklore indicated that Stonehenge had
at one time been q temple, and certain
relics clearly showed that among the
rites practised had been that of human
sacrifice. Later, when science began TO
grow strong, Il demonstrated that besides
being religious edihce Stonehenge

ideas is modern innovation. In pre-
historic days the business man was sub
ject to more open methods of robbery
than to-day. Negotiations were apt to
terminate suddenly owing to, the stronger
man reaching for his club. ~
"But prehistoric folk extended to their
temple that respect which is now COM
monty paid to the law courts. They were
as anxious to avoid conflict with their
priests as the modern merchant it to steer
clear of lawyers. Why, then, should it
be surprising that they should conduct
their bartering under the protective aegis
of the temple, where bloodshed was
taboo unless conducted by the holy men
themselves?
"The double antiquity Of Stonehenge
Is in itself strong ground for expecting
traces of prehistoric commercial activity.
Since the Foreign Stones indicate sane
tity previous to the coming of the trili-
ithon builders, II is not extravagant to as
sume that the only meeting-ground safe
alike to the older residents and the inn
migrants should be the mutually sacred
area. Intercourse would, therefore, nat
urally gravitate to Stonehenge, bringing
with il revival of trade with less local
tribes already accustomed to the security
of the 'neighborhood.
'sBut this, It may be asserted, is pure
supposition. Fortunately, the theory il
backed by corroborative evidence. Scat
tered about within narrow circle en-
closing the building we have found
countless fragments Of flint implements,
A -
domestic pottery, beads and bronze orna-
ments.
''In those days the water in the Avon

apparently stood at higher level If so,
the lowlying ground to the southeast of
Stonehenge must have formed back
water sufficiently deep for the navigation
OF RATS. Facilities fer the transport of
goods by water were welcome in times
when roads were practically non-existent.
Fleeing together all this evidence, we
can hardly avoid the conclusion that
Stonehenge was the Royal Exchange of
its day."
The real antiquity of Stonehenge is, of
course, unknown. The Druids, the priests
OF the early Britons, used It for the pur-
poses told here at least 1000 years B. C.
These were the ones who reared the

Egyptians. There are records of <
powerful Neolithic, or Stone Age, mari
time power which before history began
established colonies throughout the then
known world. DR.. Cope Whitehouse, of
New York, the distinguished Egyptolo-
gist, has called attention to the evidence
IN Egyptian records of great martini,
nation, established to the west of the
Nile, that threatened Egypt's supremacy
at the height Of her greatness.
According to Mr.. Whitehouse's theory,
these people, as great sea power, must
have left traces Of themselves all over
the accessible world to which their ships
traded. He holds the remarkable rock
structure known ms Finaall's Cave, in
Scotland, to be clearly Of human origin,
and thinks II reasonable to believe that
The Washington times., 1922-06-18
it was the work of the forgotten African

it was the work Of the forgotten African
race. ,f-.
It is also reasonable to believe that the
older part of Stonehenge is the creation
of the same people, since both works be-
long to an advanced period of the Stone
Age, with similar. ar.characteristics of rough
grandeur The discovery of temple
west of the Nile of similar workmanship
to Stonehenge strengthens the theory
that this maritime power, whose exist
ence has been forgotten, covered Europe
with their stone monuments.
That many dreadful scenes went on In
ancient days within the great circle Is
certain. II those who thronged to Stone
henge on the days of the races and the
markets were safe so far as their worldly
enemies were concerned, there were
scores Of miserable wretches who looked
forward TO those same days with horror.
These were the human sacrifices, and
beyond the outer circles of stones the
scientists found circle of deem pits
filled with human bones, evidently th..
relics of these sacrifices. ssS
Although some Of the rites of the
Druids were peculiarly cruel, MANY az
their other religious ceremonies were
very beautiful and gentle. 80
Their religion recognized spirits of the
earth, the streams and woods and so On
as well as the greater ones of the snn
and moon. The priestesses, or Dru;d.

OF the ceremonials, and the painting m

Their Heads
Cracked by a
Stone Axe

THE English Office of Works, which
has been restoring the ancient
stone circles of Stonehenge under
the direction of distinguished archeolo-
gists, has just discovered there a race
course, the remains of an immense public
market, traces of a deep pool and an
ancient road running over the plains to
the temple.
BY these discoveries the mystery Of
the cluster of colossal stones put in
place thousands of years ago during the
Stone Age on Salisbury Plain, England,
has at last been solved.
Stonehenge was the one place in Eng
:. land where the tribes could meet, hold
their sports and trade with each other
for useful goods and ornaments without
any danger of having their heads cracked
open with stone axes The moment the
character of the racecourse-which is a
quite modern looking long oval with an
"island" at one end around which the
chariots turned, and banked-up places at
leach end for spectators-was recog-
nized and the remains of the old market
were found, everything became exceed
ingly plain. y, .-.....
+ We know that back in those old dim
days places of worship or temples had
their peculiar rules. It was a raw, rude
time, when disputes were usually settled
by the ancient equivalents of automatic or
knife. Obviously it did temple no good
to have the worshippers killing each other
all over the place, so the priests reserved
for themselves the right of slaughter in
the limits of the place of worship.
When the faithful assembled, there
fore, they left their weapons at the gate.
Z, II was, indeed, just like when in our own
other places of amusement insisted upon
patrons leaving their pistols with the
doorkeeper.
And so, exactly, was it at Stonehenge.
When the skin-clad folk began focking
to the services they checked their stone
axes, bows and stone-tipped arrows and
their clubs just outside. II they didn't
and tried to start something they soon
wished they hadn't, because not only
were the old priests good, able-bodied
citizens, but they had, besides, the
authority of the gods behind their hsts.
!, Then, after It was certain that Stone
henge could enforce Its peace rules, the
people began to see IL was a good place
to trade. In those days when man COW
eted anything he was apt to get II by the
simple process of cracking the one who
had IL over the head. This did not do
much for organised business. But at
The Washington times., 1922-06-18

was that drew the thrOngs of
worshippers to it remained unknown.
The mystery was further increased by
the fact that the outer stones of Stone
henge are made Of rock that is common
on the Plain. But there was an inner
circle composed of single standing stones
not found anywhere In England at all.
The nearest place they could be discov-
cred was in Ireland. ~.
u is now proven that these unfamiliar,
or, as they are still called about Sails
bury Plain, Foreign Stones" are the re-
mains of q far older temple erected any
where from twenty to fifty thousand
years ago by race who were not British.
One Of the English archeologists in
charge Of the work has this to say Of the
discoveries: tt gil., t'if
Although at first there does not seeif
to be any close connection between u
sanctuary and trade or sport, Il must be
remembered that such dissocistion Of

had also been an astrological OBJ
servatory. On the longest day in
the year, the Summer solstice,
the rising sun struck first a cur
ious stone called the ''Hele"
stone, and then fell along the
axis Of the temple upon the
Slaughter Stone" used as an
altar for human sacrifice. The
shadows cast by two other
stones, now called "Solstice
Stones," were used to verify the
astronomical calculations Of the
priests.
But why the unknown builders
had picked. out this particular
spot in all England to erect their
