white stripes running down both sides.
These costumes are not only extremely pic

shape they make an extremely pretty effect

the extremely neat workmanship. The women

Unfortunately all such picturesque rigs
disappear with the coming of the summer,
for then the women dress in dirty cotton
frocks and the men in discarded police uni

IN small island in Baker lake, lake
l J sixty miles in length, lies one of the
trading stations of the Hudson Bay
company, the most advanced outpost Of civ
ilization within the vast tundra levels, called
Barren Grounds, which lie between the tim
Der line and the Arctic ocean. This place
IS frequented by the Eskimos on trading
expeditions, which extend over several
months, from the mouth of Back river in
the neighborhood of the Magnetic pole as
we'll as from the lakes far south, where
the first trees appear. Five different tribes
regularly frequent this place in spring time
in order to sell their furs, so as to be able
to return to their homes before the melting
of the snow.
The greater part of the, Eskimo families
who have been in the interior Of the coun-
try during the summer time, at a period
when the reindeer hunting is good, usually
have fairly large meat depots for use dur
ing the first part of the winter. AS a
rule, however, these depots are used up
about Christmas New Years and then
begins completely artificial existence
which is based upon fox hunting. Fox
furs are sold at $3.50 to the Hudson Bay
company, and with this money the Eskimos
buy flour baking powder, tea, sugar and
tobacco, which make the principal fare for
the greater part of the population until in
the spring the catching of seals begins once
more. Upon the whole, it is a rather mis-
cradle existence since the lack of fats in
this diet does not qualify it as the only
food during an Arctic winter The wheat
meal is eaten as thick, not always we'll
baked pancakes, which often rather unset
the digestion. The meat of the foxes. which
is very savory in particular when they are
fat, as Is the case up here, Is never eaten
because it is taboo.
Clothing Looks Fantastic
The dress OF this region is practical, but
looks rather fantastic, especially as far as
the women are concerned. For a complete
suit about seven reindeer skins are re-
quired Sealskins are almost exclusively
used for kamiks native boots, but in ex-
ceptional cases one sees it used for the fur
Jackets and trousers of the men during the
summer period. The costume itself for both
men and women consists of two layers.
There is an inner jacket and inner trousers
of light thn-haired skins, with the hair
inside. The second layer consists of the
outer jacket and the outer trousers of the
somewhat longer haired autumn skins. The
jackets of the men have an ordinary hood
and in front reach only to the thighs, but in
the back they have a large, broad flap
which reaches below the knees and fire.

MORTAMINES
By H. Addington Bruce

BY H. Arlington Bruce
TO Boston physician, DR.. F. L. Burnett
of the Massachusetts General Hospital, we
are indebted for new word of practically
suggestive value to both medicine and per-
sonal hygiene, the word "Mortamines"
AS may be inferred, it is virtually an oppo-
site for the word "vitamines," concerning
which we have lately heard much. BY 'xnor-
tamines" DR.. Burnett would designate certain
food factors hostile to nutrition, just as by
"vitamnes" dietitians designate food Gle
ments favorable, indeed indispensable, to
nutrition.
More than this, and emphasizing the oppo-
siti0n between "mortamines" and vita
mines" Dr. Burnett speaks of mortamine A,
mortamine and mortamine c, much as the
modern dietitian speaks Of vitamine A, vita
mine and Ytamine G, to discriminate be-
tween various vitamines.
And what gives special significance to his
coinage of the word "mortamines," his de-
scription of mortamines A, B and sug-
gests strongly that if they are present all the
good derivabIe from vitamines A, B and C
may be undone.
Thus, writing in the Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal, DR.. Burnett concretely and
graphically illustrates what he means by
mortamines A, B and G, taking his illustra-
tions from scenes that may daily be witness
ed in any restaurant.
At one table he sees a man who has or
dered a large portion of roast beef, fried
potatoes, string beans, rolls and butter,
cup of coffee and piece of apple pie.
This Substantial meal is entirely consumed
in the short space of seven minutes. This
means imperfect mastication, hence an in
adequate flow of saliva, with the result that
the hasty eater is subject to the unfaYorable
influence of mortamne A-"food unrefned
and improperly prepared" for the stomach
and intestines.
At another table young girl eats plate
OF fruit salad with whipped cream, coffee

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Charred and
blackened remains of a beautiful pre-his-
toric Indian city, destroyed by fire long
before the advent of the white man, but
formerly covering an area of 500 acres and
defended by a palisaded wall and breast
works more than mile in length, have
been discovered in two bends of the Har-
peth river near Kingston Springs, Tennes-
see, by w. E. Myer, special archaeologist
of the Smithsonian Institution.
Mr. Myer, who has just returned to
Washington after two and a half months
excavation at this ancient site, declared here
today that other old Indian town in the
United States was laid out with such artis-
tic skill as Is evidenced in the structural
plan of the great mounds Of this large forti-
fled place.
On one bend of the river is a great hill
which was artificiaIly shaped by the an
cient builders from bottom to top Three
wide terraces were built at various levels
along this hill, and it's original summit
was cut away until a level plaza, about
1000 feet in length and 500 in breadth,
had been formed. On this level plaza they
had erected a large mound. Around the
edge of the plaza and the terraces other
mounds had been formed. The sun-baked
clay used in the construction of ancient
earth lodges was found surrounding the
open plaza and along the terraces.
In addition to this great central mound
on the bold terraced hill, which formed the
most striking feature Of the city, there
were within the walls five other emnences
which had also been leYeled into phazas
These yielded many traces of the ancient
earth lodges and other evidences of the
former Inhabitants. The remains of about
thirty mounds of various sizes have been
found. On the edge of the terraces were
the earth lodges of the common people. The
sacred temples and council houses and the
earth lodges of the chiefs and subchiefs
had probably been placed on the SUBMITS
of ten OF the largest mounds.

KEELING Children on the Farm,

WENTY boys ard girls of Wisconsin are
given certificates of merit by the Wis
consin Bankers association for success
fully completing four years of practical farm
ing work and at the same time maintaining
banking connections.
This Is part of a countrywide movement to
interest the youth of the land in the greatest
of industries, agriculture, and demonstrate to
them that all the opportunities are not in the
cities All of these children successfully
marketed their products and, no doubt built
I'D bank balance In excess of what they be-
lieved possible.
That is a practical way Of showing the
youths that there is money to be made on the
farm. However, the work Goes not stop there.
Efforts are devoted to 1nstructing these chill
dren in broader way, showing them what is
to be gained by adopting business methods,
by crop rotation, all to the end that future
generations of farmers ma; have an easier
life and handsomer reward.
The rush to the cities Is becoming serious
problem, leaving the agricultural districts
short not only of workers, but of leadership,
which Is almost as vital
Helping and stimulating the work of the
boys and girls clubs In Wisconsin and
throughout The country may be the initial
step toward solution of one of the gravest of

MY FAVORITE STORIES
PV irwin C'Ohh

BY irwin Cobb
In the ancient wicked days when drinking
still was going on, Riley Wilson, the official
humorist of West Virginia, met on the streets
of Huntington a friend of his from up in
the mountains. Extending the customary hos
FATALITIES, Wilson invited the hillsman to have
something. The visitor was agreeably in
cIined. They crossed the street and entered
the swinging doors of Iife-saving station.
At one end of the bar an electric fan was
buzzing. The gaze Of the mountaineer froze
on this novel object. So absorbed and inter
ested was he that he almost forgot to help
himself from the bottle which the barkeeper
set out for him. He put down his emptied
glass and, walking close up to the fan, con-
tinued to watch It in fascinated silence.
"Well, old man." said Wilson, "are you
ready to move along?"
"Riey" answered the mountaineer without
turning his head, "ef you don't mind, I'm goin'

roll and butter, cup of tea and chocolate
eclair. DR.. Burnett notes:
I'm talking to her friend she said she got
hungry in the middle of the morning and had
maple nut sundae and some frosted cake.
When mixtures of this sort are continually
being put into the body, is there any wonder
that there is a mechanism by which such
mess is simply passed along the intestine
rapidly and malnutrition ensues? Such Is
the action Of excess of sweet stuff and
complex food-mortamin B."
A third customer of the restaurant, hag-
gard-looking man, calls for plate Of mac
aroni, two bran mullins and butter, cup OF
tea and a piece of apple pie. Having dis
patched these he takes from his pocket
sodium phosphate powder and swallows 1t
with a glass Of water. DR.. Burnett's COM
ment is:
with badly balanced mixture Of this
kind there is evidently a necessity for the
salt, and in this way the action of mortamine
C-salts, oils and drugs that unduly increase
the intestinal rate-is apparent"
Indigestion and malnutEition being the
bane of multitudes it is certainly good to be
reminded-as DR.. Burnett would remind us
with his northumberland merely to include
in the diet a sufficient quantity of vitamines
is not to insure normal nutrition and diges-
tive activity.

The upstream portion or the ancient city
was defended on the water side by perpen.
dicular cliffs of the Harpeth river. On
the land side, Mr.. Myer said, many traces
still remain of the ancient breastworks,
which extended for about a mile and half
and originally had wooden palisades about
10 feet in length firmly embedded in their
tops These palisades formed a wooden
wall which had been plastered on The out
side in order to make scaling difficult by
an enemy Along this wall at intervals OF
about $50 yards were found earth bastions
which had formerly supported semi-circular
attack was, therefore, subjected Nto fire
from the defenders along the main wall
and also an enfilading fire from the war;
riors in the towers on these bastions. Faint
traces of the wooden towers and of the
wooden palisades were found. The great
length of the wall to be defended indicates
that the city must have contained several
thousand inhabitants.
ALL the buildings whose traces were un@
covered appeared to have been burned. Un-
der an overturned wall the charred remains
of the woven-reed tapestry which had for
merly hung on the walls of the building
were discovered, and Mr., Niger and his as
sistant secured plaster casts Of this ancient
work of art for the Smithsonian Institution
No object Of white mans manufacture was
found on the site. Everything denoted great
age.
Beyond all question: Mr.. Myer declared,
this town had been lived in and destroyed
long before the coming of the whites into
the region, while the Indians which claimed
this section of Tennessee stated to the first
whites that their Indian forefathers had
found these remains lying silent and de-
serted when they arrived"
The mention OF these mysterious mounds
In a rare book, tong since out Of print, gave
Mr.. Myer the clue which led to the explora-
ton OF the place An airplane was Used
to survey and photograph the ancient In
dian town site.-Science Service.
