As Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had helped me when I* was a girl I gave it to her to build her up, and the results were all that we could' wish for. I wish that every mother with growing girls would try ft for these troubles girls often have. I had taken it myself before inv girl was fcorn, and she was one of the nicest Babies any one could wish to have.

C. "From this temple we have recovered some good royal Inscriptions on stone door,sockets and on clay cones. From an outlying part of the site we have obtained a series of terra cotta figures of gods, extremely valuable for the study of Suinerlan religion, as most Of them give new types and attributes." • , "The huge platform, originally built by Ur-Engur about 2300 B. C., stands almost Intact, much of its brick work as sharp as when the builders laid it, and even of the upper stages, added by King Nabonldus eighteen hundred years later, we have been able to learn not a little from their scantier ruins. It will take most of the season to lay bare the ^whole slggurat (tower), but when that is done Mesopotamia will possess no other so Imposing monument of Its old greatness." Of the pictures the "writing of 2200 B. C." Is an Inscription from the Temple of Glmll-Sln at Ur. The Temple of the Moon God with Its court and altar, is at Ur and Is the work of Nebuchadnezzar, about 600 B. c. The floor Is that of the Temple of the Mora God. The gold ornaments and ritual spoon are of Nebuchadnezzar's time. CwotMtigs In the report whose Importance Is Land Granted to Lafayette ?

MOTORS CORPORA TIOV Ban 109! - Stamford, Ci By JOHN DICKIN80N SHERMAN KCORDED history has been pushed back another thousand years by the archeologists excavating at Ur of the Chaldees In Mesopotamia near ancient Babylon. They have uncovered a temple near Ur, with an Inscription' approximately 6,500 years old. This Inscription, cut in marble in the Sumerian language, records the fact that: A-an-nl-pad-da, whose reign can be fixed by ancient king lists at about 4500 B. C., built the temple in honor of the goddess Nin-khur-sag. Copper reliefs and statues found antedate by 3,000 years the finds In the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen In Egypt, now attracting the attention of the world. Ur is in Babylonia, which Is the part of Turkey in Asia lying nearest to the Persian gulf. Turkey In Asia is the Asia Minor of the old geographies. In the northeastern part lies Armenia. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers wander around through eastern Turkey and unite just before they reach the Persian gulf. ' So this Is the land of the Garden of Eden, the cradle of the human race. The Euphrates Is named In the Scriptures as one of the rivers which water it. Eden Is the ordinary term for a plain In the Sumerian language. This is also the land of the Deluge and the Babylonian records preserve a tradition which corresponds In details with the story of Noah and the Ark. This Is the land of Nineveh, "that great city," and of Babylon, "the mighty," with its hanging gardens and its Tower of Babel. It is the land of Nebuchadnezzar, who was made to "eat grass as oxen," and who threw Shadracb, Meshach and Abednego Into the fiery furnace because they would not worship the golden image he had set up, and then promoted them because they came out unharmed. It is the land of Belshazzar's feast, where the moving finger writ, "Mene Mene Tekel Upharsln," and "in that nlg^t was Balshazzar the King of Chaldeans slain and Darius the Median took the kingdom." It was Sennacherib the Assyrian, who "came down like a wolf on the fold." Out of Ur of the Chaldees went Abraham to lead the Israelites to Canaan in Galilee. Incidentally this pushing back of recorded history Is hard on Abraham. In Biblical history as It was taught two generations ago Abraham bulked large as just •bout the beginning of things and Israel as just about the greatest nation of ancient days. Now we know that Abraham (about 2100 B. C.) occupies only a middle chapter In the history of mankind and that Israel was a small power which thrived In the late pre-Christian centuries and had occupied a comparatively Insignificant place among the great nations of its age. The excavating at Ur Is being carried on jointly by the British museum and the University of Penn- ' sylvania museum. Maj. C. Leonard .Woolley Is in i charge. In a report to Director G. B. Gordon of ! the University of Pennsylvania museum, now made j public, Major Woolley says. In part: j "The Important archeoiogical results obtained I by the joint expedition last November at the l|| I sites of Ur and Tel el Obeid*rere surpassed by remarkable discoveries made during December. In a previous report I had given some account, of the little temple of Tel el Obeld, about four miles from Ur. The excavation of the buirding U now complete and a far fuller idea can be got of what !•* by a good deal the oldest example of building construction yet known. * "A marble tablet was discovered. Inscribed In Sumerian, which records that this was the temple of the goddess Nin-khur-sag, built In her honor, by # the king of Ur, A-an-nl-pad-da, and the latter Is known to us from the king lists drawn up about 2000 B. C. as the ruler of the first dynasty of Ur, the third dynasty to reign after the flood. Taken at Its face value, the Sumerian chronology would assign our statues and reliefs to a date somewhere about 4500 B. C.; even If that chronology has to be modified, we can yet say that our month's work has given us the oldest dated example of man's handwriting and the oldest .known triumphs the art of Tubal-Caln. "One small object found'almost by chaficie afforded us a disproportionate satisfaction. It was a gold, scarabold bead inscribed with the name and title of the man who built this, the oldest building In the world still standing above ground. King A-an-nl-pad-da of Ur, who, if Sumerian chronology is right, reigned about 4500 B. C. "A broad flight of stone steps led to a platform about twenty feet high on the south corner of which stood the temple proper, Its gate tower fronting on the stairway, its facade set back from the edge of the platform so as to leave a narrow step, on which stood a row of statues of bulls sculps tured In tl\£'round. "These stood some three feet high and were made of thin copper plates beaten up over 4 wooden core. Their heads were turned out to face the spectator and their horns were of gold. "Of the frieze of cattle lying down, these «l*» beaten up from copper plates with heads cast la more solid metal and joined onto the bodies, we have now a dozen examples, many of them in wonderful state of preservation. not emphasized are of particular Interest One Is that the inscription In the temple of Nin-khursag Is on marble, that the steps are of stone and that stone enters into the decoration. This is a land where stone is unknown. So^ts use suggests relations with other lands and efficient methods of transportation. The other Is that the great towers which marked the niany cities of this ancient region were all recessed towers, the second stage being smaller than the first, and so on. Apparently history does repeat Itself, for New York has evolved this same type of architecture for use In Its latest skyscrapers. The Tigris and Euphrates rise in Armenia. Of the great triangle between them the north 400 miles is a gently descending slope from the mountains. The remaining 400 miles is a vast alluvial plain formed from silt brought down by the two ' rivers. In the north the channels of the two rivers are <rften deep below the surface. In the south the level of the waters Is often above the surrounding plain. So man had to control the waters-- by dikes and dams and canals, both for Irrigation and drainage. The first-comers made the region the garden spot of the then world. The people who accomplished all this we now 'call"by the name of Sumerians. Whence they came Is unknown. In the time of King A-an-nlpad- da they were a highly civilized and organised race. The city-state was the unit of government. , The inhabitants of the cities were skilled In trades and professions. They had classes. They had : elaborate codes of laws. They had a very complete and highly developed system of writing-- the cuneiform script written on clay tablets with a stylus. This persisted until the fall of Babylon, thousands of years later. The Sumerians were overcome by a stronger and more warlike race--the Semitic people from whom sprang the Hebrews and Abraham. Babylon came into being. The Assyrians succeeded the Babylonians. Assyria strode like a Colossus over the ancient* world--a highly civilized people of Had a Tough Hide The play was "Julius Caesar" and no expense had been spared In the production.

Isaiah's prophecy was almost literally fulfilled. • For more than two thousand years this land was forgotten. „ When Its civilization perished this garden spot went back quickly to wilderness--In the north to barren wastes; In the south to swamp and jungle.
