Both stated that cider and wines
of the alcoholic strength developed
in those manufactured by Hill

Two weeks later the berry
patch was GREEN everywhere but

of the ground. All clean, bright
young growth and not a sign OF

fore we put Tovasco on them you

"After spreading, we irrigated
the field well, carrying the fertil-

could pull up a plant anywhere
and not a pest could be seen. They
had parted company with this

RUINS OF SANCTUARY
FOUND IN GERMANY
Temple of Suarasici I'm
earthed Near Feldberg.

Feldberg Mecklenburg.- of
an ancient Slav sanctuary have been
unearthed near this town by DR.. Karl
Schuchhard, director of the Berlin Mu-
scum of Anthropology, which he be-
lieves to have been Rethra, the chief
temple of the Slavs between the rivers
Elbe and Oder. Suarasici was the
name of the god who was worshlped
here, and the temple was relatively
more important than the Delphi of
the Greeks.
Rethra stood for several centuries
and was destroyed In 106S and 1863
under the reign of Henry ". The
bishop of Halbertstadt, under orders
from the emperor, destroyed the sane
tuary. Burchhard was the name of
this bishop, and 1t is still preserved
in the folklore Of northern Germany.
lie is supposed to have become i'm
mensely rich through plundering the
temple, and there is nursery rhyme
which makes an appeal to this an
cient bishop to make gifts to children.
Doctor Schuchhard says descriptions
Of the temple written by the bishop
of Mersburg, who lived about the year
1000, tally with his discoveries, and
lie is confident he has located the
lost shrine for which Psychologists
have been seeking for generations.
In the Spreewald, near Berlin, the
population still retains the customs,
dress and language of the ancient
Slavs who lived in northern Ger
many before the Teutons made their
appearance, especially all along the
Elbe.
