MUCH HAPPIER
THAN 10JTEARS AGO
Bradyville Lady Tells Why She I
So Much Happier Now Than
Ten Years Ago
Bradyville Tenn — Mrs Mattie Spry
of thiB place makes the following
statement: "Ten years Ago I was a
great sufferer from womanly troubles
and was in bed nearly all the time
for about two years I tried many
treatments but they did not seem to
do me any good
I read In the Ladies' Birthday Al-
manac about Cardui the woman's
tonic and I quit all other treatments
and began taking it I took 8 bottles
and was cured
That has been ten years ago and
since then I hare been in better health
and spirits than for 20 yearB
My oldest daughter was very puny
at the age of 16 I gave her Cardui
and she was soon all right and now
enjoys the best of health
I am so thankful that I know of a
true medicine that I can give my girls
or take myself and that I know what
medicine to send for when I need a
tonic
I am very much alive now and cer-
tainly enjoy telling my friends when
tbey ask me what I found at last to
help me so much about Cardui I can
never praise it enough”
You too can surely depend on Car-
dui helping you

“Yes he did" replied the father
"but I couldn't make out much of

"What do you mean?" aeked Lydia
“Well" explained the old gentle-
man "I understood him to eay that he
wanted to marry me and that you
had enough to support him so I told
him to go home and write it out” —

youths and
trable labyrinth has been proved to
have had a solid foundation of his-
torical fact
The Labyrinth has been brought to
light an extraordinary complex of
halls stairways chambers cells and
corridors which thoroughly explains
bow the unfortunates who entered it
as captives came to believe that no
stranger could escape Strange and
terrible must the labyrinthine palace
of Knossos have appeared to foreign
beholders and grim and barbarous in-
deed — though hiding their cruelty be-
neath a veneer of culture — must the
people that built and Inhabited it have
been unless all tbe evidence has been
grossly misread and misinterpreted
It Is to be feared that the tribute ot
youths and girls fronr subject states
was a fact To Knossos they were
brought and there confined In deep
mootb-wailed pitlike enclosures they
dragged out their lives until the day
when they were brought forth un-
armed and defenseless to face the
charge ot bulls In the arena Thetr
one faint hope as we may see by the
frescoed pictures was to catch the
beasts’ horns and vault over them
In nine cases out of ten as we may
be only too sure the fate of the hap-
less captive was to be gored to death
to make a Mlnoan holiday
In many ways however Mlnoan
civilization was of a very high type
The towns were well planned and well
built with commodious and comfort-
able houses provided — wonder ot won-
ders — with a proper drainage system
In art and architecture the achieve-
ments of the Minoans were note-
worthy Most remarkable of all they
possessed a well-developed system of
writing thus exploding the old theo-
ries of Greek and pre-Greek illiteracy
So secure they seemed behind the
guard of their ships that they dwelled
fearlessly In unfortified cities not as
the lords of Mycenae and Tlryns be
hind gigantic wall-rings Yet a time
came when the erstwhile ever-victori-ous
navy failed In Its task and a
catastrophe occurred whereof some
record lingered long In Hellenic tradi-
tion The foes— were they Achaeans?
— ran their galleys ashore on the
beaches of Crete and the end came
Imperial Knossos vanished in sack
and conflagration her people were
dealt such measure as they had often
meted out But the memories of
Minos lingered long and at last after
the lapse of more than thirty centu-
ries Sir Arthur Evans wrung from
the soil of Crete convincing evidence
of the might of the Minoans If not
as yet of an actual being named
Minos
From the ruins of the Minoan cities
have been disinterred thousands of In-
scribed tablets very largely as it
would seem dealing with administra-
tive and financial matters— like the
vast hoards of clay documents found
among the remains of the cities of
Mesopotamia A regular Bystem of
numeration has been detected and It
Is thought that certain tablets relate
to chariot wheels arrows and other
warlike stores Others appear to be
lists of men and women belonging to
Activities of Women
Petra Herrera a young Mexican
woman la In command of 200 rebels at
Durango Mexico
The City club of Philadelphia le
considering the admission of women
at members
Circus girls connected with all the
big show of the country have formed
a union
When girls and women are on trial
In St Louis two women judges will
pass judgment upon them
Mrs L 8 Sheldon has announced
the great palace— probably slaves
But all as yet await interpretation
Crete has so' far yielded no represen-
tative of the Rosetta Stone
The stages by which the picture-
writing of early Crete developed Into
an elaborate system ot hieroglyphs
and thence into the linear script with
which the Knossian tablets are for
the most part covered are fairly well
marked With a keen and practical
people the necessity of simplifying a
cumbrous hieroglyphic system for
everyday needs would be apparent
Certainly the Mlnoan script appears
to be much simpler than the cunei-
form writing of Mesopotamia Never-
theless the old system and the new
appear to have flourished side by side
and perhaps to some extent in con-
junction until Minoan culture was de-
stroyed or displaced by the new in-
habitants of Crete
Perhaps the most famous of the
Cretan hieroglyphic inscriptions Is
that of the ‘‘Phaestos disc" The disc
Is a roughly circular clay plate about
467 Inches lu diameter covered on
both faces with a hieroglyphic inscrip-
tion which in each case coils- round
from the center outwards It is by
far the largest hieroglyphic Inscrip-
tion yet discovered In Crete It con-
tains some 241 signs and 61 sign
groups and It exhibits the remarkable
peculiarity that every sign has been
separately Impressed on the clay while
In a soft state by a stamp or punch
It Is In fact a printed inscription
So much appears certain that the
Phaestos disc was not Inscribed by
Minoans The signs differ greatly
from those of the Knossian deposits
Four-fifths of them are quite different
and the remaining part do not always
closely resemble those of Crete
There Is no trace in the human fig-
ures of the wasp waist we have al-
ready learned to seek In the portrait-
ures of the men and women who
moved about the palace of Minos
The male figures all seem to have
shaven heade Those of females are
broad squat and ugly very different
from the slim Mlnoan damsels with
their’ dainty "Parisian" dresses
There is a ship unlike those depicted
at Knossos and a building astonishing-
ly like the Lyclan tombs whereof
specimens are preserved in the Brit-
ish museum
Sir Arthur Evans came to the con-
clusion that the Inscription probably
had some religious significance He
also thinks that it was the work not
of Cretans but of some parallel and
closely-allied culture and suggests
that this culture was that of Lycia in
southwestern Asia Minor As to Its
religious bearing he considered that
it Is probably a hymn to a nature-
goddess A sign apparently intended
her candidacy for associate justice of
the supreme court of Kansas She Is
the first woman to seek a place on the
bench In Kansas
Mrs Teresa Fellcetti probably the
oldest woman in Italy recently cele-
brated her one hundred and seventh
birthday by eating a hearty meal fol-
lowed by a glass of whisky
Mrs Lewis B Woodruff of New
York who was once blind has writ-
ten a book and la devoting the pro-
ceeds from the sale of ths book to
aid those who cannot iaa
to represent a female breast Is a
prominent one and It is a reasonable
Inference that it refers to some such
deity as Kybebe the Great Mother or
the Diana of Ephesus with her multi-
tude of breasts Such a divinity was
worshiped In Mlnoan Crete and may
have been the same as Ephesian
Diana
Two attempts have been made to
interpret the disc Inscription one by
Pofessor Hempl of Stanford univer-
sity California the other by Miss
Stawell of Newham college England
Professor Hempl makes It to be a
record of the restoration of plunder to
a shrine Miss Stawell on the other
hand interprets It as an archaic hymn
Certainly on the face of It this inter-
pretation seems the more probable
and agrees with Sir Arthur Evans’
view The shape of the disc appears
to Indicate that the inscription is not
an ordinary one and It may very well
have been a written prayer or psalm
Miss Stawell’s interpretation Is
based on the assumption that the lan-
guage of the Inscription is Greek—
necessarily Greek of a primitive type
Having decided the identity of a pic-
tured object she attaches to it its name
in Greek and then takes the first syl-
lable as the sound value For exam-
ple the human head with the curioue
crown-like covering is taken to signify
’man" ' The Greek words for man are
aner and anthropos and therefrom the
sound value Is given as an A face
marked on the cheek is Interpreted
as "branded man” therefore “crimi-
nal" From this the meaning is de-
duced as kakos (bad) and the sound
value as ka and so on Of course it
Is evident that Independent observers
might interpret many of the signs dif-
ferently One does not see for exam-
ple why sign 20 an obvious jug is
not to be interpreted as one Instead
of according to Miss Stawell ’’mead’’
fin a jug)
To conclude It would seem that In-
terpreters hitherto have assumed
much and the results of their labors
though highly Interesting and credit-
able to them are not altogether con-
vincing They assume that the lan-
guage of the Inscription la Greek and
there is no evidence that the tongue
of the Mlnoan Cretans was Greek at
all So far as can be seen the Mi-
noans were a totally different race
from the Greeks and It Beems rather
early days to assume that they spoke
their tongue much less that the god-
dess of the disc 1b Athene Further
it Is probable that the PhaeBtos disc
la Anatolian and not Cretan
Chinese Are Thrifty Farmers
“In the utilization of every square
foot of soil and every leaf or root
that is grown thereon the patient
working farmers of China could give
points even to the thrifty rural popu-
lation of France” says the Philadel-
phia Public Record “Land is never
wasted There are no such pasture
and meadow lands as we know here
If a traveler wants to pitch a tent
anywhere In the settled provinces of
China hs must drive the stakes in s
bean patch or a rice field or amid po-
tato hills The native would receive
with scornful amazement a suggestion
of a public pleasure ground The only
‘parks' are tbe groves about the tem-
ples "To the tops of the hills the ter-
races climb holding their tiny plots of
wheat and corn sometimes at a house
roof angle of 46 degrees Inhabitants
of crazy huts and cave dwellers bare-
ly making room for themselves to
sleep and cook at the Intersections of
the vast checkerboard climb out of
their holes and hovels at dawn like
prairie dogs or rabbits In a warren
and fight the soil till dark for a mea-
ger living”

Watch Carefully
the Child’s Diet
Start Them Off Right With a Good
Laxative and Then Watch
Their Food
Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children forcing all to eat the same
foods The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons
Hence avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give It indigestion snd
urge it to take more' of wbat ia quick-
ly digested
If the child shows a tendency to
constipation It should immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the bow-
els By thia Is not meant a physic or
purgative for these should never be
given to children nor anything like
ealte pills etc Wbat tbe child re-
quires is simply a small dose of the
gentleet of medicines such ae Dr
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which In the
opinion of thousands of watchful moth-
ers is tbe ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation
So many things can happen to a con-
stipated child that care Is necessary
Colds piles headaches sleeplessness
and many other annoyances that chil-
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation
Many of America's foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin be-
cause one can never tell when some
member of the family may need it
and all can use It Thousands endorse
it among them Mrs M E Patten
Valley Junction Iowa who Is never
without it In the bouse Mrs Patten

QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS

If you must have your meat every

the blood They become sluggish and
weaken then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region sharp
pains in the back or sick headache
dizziness your stomach sours tongue
Ib coated and when the weather Ib bad
you have rheumatic twinges The
urine gets cloudy full of sediment tbe
channels often get sore and Irritated
obliging you to seek relief two or
tbree times during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush oft
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine This famous salts is made
from the arid of grapes and lemon
juice combined with lithia and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys also to
neutralize the acids In urine so it no
longer Irritates thus ending bladder
