And on an ancient tablet in the. british
Museum we can today read the advice
given her husband by Thati-em hotep, a
royal Egyptian lady Of some $500 years
ago. to her husband. Eat, drink, marry
wives, enjoy yourself, she bids him, and
have no thought of care or sorrow, For,
she says, at the best these pleasures have
not the same zest after death, and Death
calleth every one to him, gods and men,
and great and little are all one to Death,
who seizeth the babe as we'll as the old

The Egyptians thought that the soul
took the GHOSTS" or doubles of them
with it, just as the Ka nourished itself
with the doubles" of the food and so

Since the shadow of a man was sup
posed to be one of his most important
possessions. it went lorg with the Sahu
and the Khu. AS it uad life, it had TO
have lis future.
But it had nothing to do with the Ka,
the Ba Bird had no interest in it and as
tnere was no light in the tomb it,. Of
course, had no place for it to 90, and that
was along With the spirit body and the
spirit soul-the Sahu and Khu. And it

they went along.
The world of the dead of ancient Egypt
was called the "Tuat." 1t was divided
into anywhere from Z to 81 parts TIL
priests never quite agreed on this. But
each part had its own Gate. which had
its own keeper, its Waterman and is

souls Of wives and husbands were united
and their children found their parents a.
gain and rejoiced in their love. Faithful
household servants and slaves mlpistered
to the souls of their masters and mistresses
as they had ministered to them on earth.
There was no begetting OF offspring.
The population was recruited from the
souls that left this earth day by day.
In old King Tot ankh-amen's tomb. it
will be recalled, were found his chari0ts,
his hunting and war weapons, and among
them some royal bO0merangs. According
to the beliefs of the Egyptians, the soul
Of the king could summon the "doubles'
of these things from his tomb and could
use them in his life in the ''Tuat." He
could ride around in the ghosts of the
cbariOts, could throw the ghosts of the
boomerangs-Uhich by the way, were

yond, he had on hand ''doubles'' of the
ducks, geese, deer and many other birds
and animals whose mummifed bodies
were placed in the tomb. These were
distinct from the mummified launches
of v%enison, legs Of lamb and beef, which
were the property of the Ka.
Here then we have the reasons for all
those things being in old Tut ankh-
amen's tomb The foods, statues Of the
Pharaoh at the sides of the inner door,
the robes and furniture, artisans, gar
deners, cooks, harem ladies and so On
were for the use Of the Ka and the Ba.
The boats and bOatmen, the amulets, sea-
rabs and soon were for the journey of the
Sahu, the Khu and the Shadow. There

according to their queer-to us-old be

would be equally queer TO Il EN-.
1t has been said that once ali these little
figures were living men and women, piled

is no doubt of that. Even when the

StarbOard Woman
Moved 16 Miles for
Medical Attention

Machias, Me-, Feb. Is - (AP) -
Mrs. Fanny Sprague. who lives at
Starboard, 16 miles from this town.
had the misfortune Tuesday to fall
from a couch, fracturing one Of her
arms. Aid was summoned by tele-
phone, but on account of the condi-
ton of the roads physicians could
not be persuaded to venture out, with
the apparent impossibility of making
the trip.
Roads are blocked with dfifted
snow from the recent storms so that
1t is impossible for doctors from town
to get out into the country sections
in answer to the most urgent calls.
Therefore, the neighbors at once set
to work to get Mrs. Sprague to
Machias for medical attention. This
task was accomplished finally with
the aid of the telephone, three
horses, half a dozen men and snow
mobile.
James Sprague. with his horse and
the assistance of several men, got
the patient as far as Larrabee, where
she was met by Willis Wood with g
snowmobile and taken to Machias-
port, where Eden Palmer relieved
Wood.
With a horse he transported her
to a point two miles further on,
where horses were changed once
more and in charge of Herbert Palm
er the trip was finished, after four
relays, the last of which brought her
here shortly before midnight. The
fracture was reduced by two physi-
clans.
