OLD GOLD MINES WILL BE SOUGHT Expedition May Solve Mys- teries of Antiquity in Zims babwe Ruins. ‘Where did the Queen of Sheba ac- quire the 120 talents of gold she pre- sented to Solomon? ‘Whence came the gold for King Solo- mon’s drinking and eating “vessels and that which embellished his throne of ivory? From what place did Hiram, King of Tyre, receive the vast treasure of gold brought by water in his hundreds of galleys? “These mysteries of antiquity may be cleared up through the work of an Eng lish expedition recently appointed examine the ins of _Zimbabwe in '| Mashonaland, Southern Rhodesia,” says & bulletin from the National Geographic Society. Relics of Biblical Period. “No connection between the ruins and Sheba's Queen and Solomon and Hiram has been found. But the gold mines of Rhodesia were worked during an era corresponding to the reigns of those monarchs and many relics found in the temples and other ruined buildings are distinctly Asiatic. “The ruins of Zimbabwe are the re- mains of an ancient city, which could have contained a huge fiopulnflcn. They are located in the southeastern part of South Rhodesia, about 200 miles inland from the Fast African coast, and visi- tors go there from Victoria, the nearest town other than native villages. Vie- toria is on a raflway line and Zimbabwe has an up-to-date hotel for tourists, situated in the midst of the ruins. Pic- turesque landscape features add to the attraction of Zimbabwe as a tourist re- sort. Much of the glamour surrounding the ruins has been dispelled by their neat appearance. Debris has been cleared away and immaculate sign- boards point the way to the glories of past by announcing, ‘To your Right’ or ‘Follow the Arrow. 2 of Egyptian, Arablan and Persian origin have been found in the ruins, One relic is an Egyptian figure with & hier hic inscription, partly ith the word ‘Osiris’ still iris the Egyptian Egypt who ruled about the year 1450 B.C.

Children need no urgin% to take it. They love its rich, fruity flavor. Nothing can compete with it as a gentle, but certain laxative, and it goes further than this. It gives tone and strength to the stomach and bowels so these organs con- tinue to act normally of their own accord. It stimulates the appe- tite, helps digestion. A Washington mother, Mrs. Louis Wilding, 1262 Florida Ave. N.E, says: ‘“Agnes is absolutel the picture of health, now, witl her ruddy cheeks, bright eyes and plump but graceful little body and she stands at the top in every health test. “Much of the credit for her per- fect condition is due to California Fig Syrup. We have used it since |babyhood to keep her bowels active during colds or any children’s ail- ments and she has always had an easy time with them. She always responds to its gentle urging and 1s quickly back to normal.” Ask your druggist for California Fig Syrup and look for the word “California” on the carton so youw'll always get the genuine.
