All the year long the newsdealer’s counters are covered with
magazines—numerous and brilliant as Autumn leaves.
Magazines for men; magazines for children; magazinesfor every
age and interest under the sun.
It is a rational growth—this great army of magazines—for this
is the age of reading.
Into every American home from one to a dozen magazinesfind
their way.
In a half million of these homes THE LADIES’ WORLD
holds chief position.
It dominates because it is the magazine of the home.
For two decades and more the spirit of cheerful home making
has been mirrored in its pages.
The home spirit is its spirit and inspiration.
It enters the life of the whole family—mother, father, children—
they all need THE LADIES’ WORLD.
It is the magazine of broad interest—not special interests.
There are reasons, you see, why 500,000 housewives say,
“We can’t keep house without THE LADIES’ WORLD!”
It is the reason why you should—to-day—say to your newsdealer,
“A LADIES* WORLD, please. Here is your nickel.”
The October number is an inspiration number.
John Beacher tells of the inspired and inspiring Phillips Brooks.
Spirit in school work and play is defined by Dr. W. H. Maxwell,
the great leader of the New York City schools.
Under Editor Charles Dwyer the departments overflow with “the
many little things so necessary” to you, the American woman.
October is the biggest number of THE LADIES’ WORLD
ever issued. ?

such contrasts. An assumption that
American boilers are not as well made
as those o fEurope is hardly warrant-

that they are less frequently inspected
and less carefully attended. Who is
chiefly to blame, owner or employe?
Perhaps both are at fault. At any rate,
boiler explosions do not constitute the
only class of accidents in respect to
which America has an unenviable dis-

with the people of the Nile valley, do
not tell a story that would help to clear
the mystery of these monuments.
The Mound of the Moon is 151 feet
high with a base of 426 by 511 feet. It
is about 10 minutest walk from the
Pyramid of the Sun and is so far the
only one to which an entrance has been
discovered. This leads into a chamber
of hewn stone, the use of which is un-
known. All over the plain are scatter-
ed small pyramids and traces of' an
ancient city with walls and fortifica-
tions. From one of these a causeway
named "Street of the Dead” leads to the
two pyramids. It is lined by a number
of ruined houses, in which many relics
and human remains have been found.
Some of the smaller mounds have
been opened, too. They seem to have
been priests’ dwellings or smaller
shrines attached to the greater sanc-
tuaries of the sun and moon. In some
of these the walls were found to be
painted and frescoed, the colors still
being in good condition and showing a
wide range of tints. But, as I have
pointed out before, no inscription, no
sculpture, no record of any kind has
so far been unearthed which would
give posterity a clew as to the origin
and history of the Mexican pyramids,
and, with reasonable certainty, we are
only assured that they antedate the
period of the Aztecs and Toltecs.

It is certain that the southern
climate and malarial conditions
do much to weaken the capacity
and strength of the majority of
people, but especially of men.
Certain it is, too, that a powerful,
bitter tonic for the nerves and
blood is needed.
Health and strength hitherto
unknown will be felt surging in
rich red blood through the ar-
teries and veins an dlife’s great-
est ambitions may be realized as
never before if the following
special treatment is followed by
those men, and women, too, who
are stricken with that most
dreaded of all afflictions, nerv-
ous exhaustion, accompanied with
such symptoms as extreme nerv-
ousness, insomnia, cold extremi-
ties, melancholia, headaches, con-
stipation and dyspepsia, kidney
trouble, dreadful dreams of dire-
ful disasters, timidity in ventur-
ing and a general inability to
act naturally at all times as
other people do. Lack of poise
and equilibrium in men is a con-
stant source of embarrassment
even when the public least sus-
pects it. For the benefit of
those who want a restoration to
full, bounding health and all the
happiness accompanying it, the
following home treatment is
given. It contains no opiates or
habit-forming drugs whatever.
Mix at home and no one will be
the wiser as to your affliction.
The treatment is simple, thor-
ough and correct. Leading drug-
gists supply the main tinctures,
extracts and essences in one-
ounce bottles, ready to mix. Get
three ounces syrup sarsaparilla
compound, mix with one ounce
compound fluid balmwort, and
stand two hours. Add one ounce
compound essence cardiol, and
one ounce tincture cadomene
compound (not cardamom). Shake
well and take a teaspocnful after
each meal and one at bedtime.
The ingredients are used for
various prescriptions.

Cholula, Mexico.—This little town of
barely 5,000 inhabitants Is an old place
that was of considerable Importance
not only before the Spanish conquest,
but long before the Aztecs. It was a
holy city, a city of temples and shrines,
and even at the time of Cortez it con-
tained hundreds of sanctuaries that
were the object of pilgrimages from all
over the country. The plain all around
Cholula was dotted with pyramids of
sacred character and varying size, all
of which were dominated by the great
temple of Quetzalcoatl, the god of the
air, that stood on the summit of the
artificial mound called today the pyra-
mid of Cholula.
This pyramid, one of the sights of
Mexico, has at present the appearance
of a natural hill of regular form It
is thickly grown with bushes and trees
and its top is reached by a rough
winding road. Nowhere is a trace of
its artificial origin, and on the spot
where centuries ago stood the colossal
statue of Quetzalcoatl and where once
burned the eternal fires In honor of
the god now rises the Christian church
of Nuestra Senora de los Remedlos.
The pyramid of Cholula has a height
of about 175 feet, and, like the pyra-
mids of Egypt, its sides face the four
cardinal points. But, unlike the Egyp-
tian monuments, it was originally built
in terraces and could be easily ascend-
ed by stairways leading to the sanc-
tuary which formed the apex/ The
date of its building is upnknown, but
when the Spaniards came the Aztec le-
gend ascribed .its erection to a race
of giants sprung from the survivors
of a deluge.
PYRAMIDS OF SUN AND MOON.
While a visit to the pyramid of Cho-
lula and incidentally to the small town
of the same name, is worth the trav-
eler’s while It does not compare in in-
terest to the visit of the pyramids of
Teotihuacan, thirty-five miles from
Mexico City. , There the national gov-
ernment has uncovered the larger of
i two great mounds, known as the pyr-
amids of the Sun and Moon, by remov-
ing from their sides all plant growth
and the thick layer of soil and con-
ducting an archaelogical research on a
scientific basis, like the excavations of
Pompeii and Herculaneum. So far
nothing has come to light that, would
serve to dispel the mystery surround-
ing these ancient monuments. Of their
history and origin nothing is known.
There is no record of them existing,
either in writing or in hieroglyphic
sculptures, although such may have
been in evidence at the time df the
Spanish conquest. But if there were
any they certainly have been destroyed
by the fanatic Hidalgos, and It now
looks as if the secret of these pyra-
mids would forever remain undisclosed,
for the little statuettes, implements
and other relics so fai’ found In the
excavations do not contribute anything
toward a solution.
Passing by on a railroad train or ap-
proaching them with an automobile,
the pyramids look rather squatty and
fail to make the impression one gets
when driving out to the pyramids of
Gizeh from Cairo. But after you have
entered the inclosure with the help of
a permit secured in Mexico City you
are surprised at the size of the Pyra-
mid of the Sun. which is the one the
government has been excavating. It
is built in three large terraces rising
one on top of the other. Its extreme

Some of the best wiping cloths for
glassware are made from the muslin
which can be cut from men’s wornout
white shirts. The muslin dries the
glass quickly, with a good polish, and
does not leave any lint.
If you have a spare window in a
cool room try growing petunias. Take
up small garden plants in the fall, be-
fore they are frost-bitten, put them in
good earth, and trim them, removing
all buds. Place them in a cool room
with plenty of sunlight and keep them
well watered. Before many weeks you
will be amply repaid for your trouble.
