[— iHO these people of Egypt IVY.-I were or whence they came, It* J no iran can say. 'Che Semii.c structure of their language indicates an Asiatic origin; but lantuage and race are not always one; r id perhaps it was an alien invasion that left a Semitic stamp upon Egyptian speech. Very probably the people of the Nile, like most “races,” were of complex origin; some of them were of Semitic descent, some came from Libya, on Egypt’s west; some were blacks from Ethiopia, on the south; some perhaps had come in from ,Central Asia before ethnographers id begun to divide the human race. Gradually they became a people, alike in speech and feature, capable cf one cyder and one state. Most of them, it seems, were serfs or slaves; men and women personally controlled by baronial lords, or bound for debt, or captured in battle. The development of agriculture made slavery profitable, and put an end to the slaughter of the conl- - in war. An old relief in the Museum at Leyden pictures a long procession cf Asiatic captives passing gloomily into Egyptian bondage; one sees them still alive on that vivid slab, their hands tied behind their backs

BACK TO HEALTH; FEELS FINE AND PRAISES KONJOLA Morton St. Lady Relieved of Stomach and Kidney Trouble by the New Medicine. “I can certainly indorse Konjola, because it has restored me to health and I don’t remember when i ever felt better in my life than I do since I got this medicine,” said Mrs. Della Craig, well-known Indianapolis lady, living at 2313 Morton St., this city, while talking with The Konjola Man

MRS. DELLA CRAIG

at Upok’s drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where large crowds are calling daily to find out for themselves about this surprising new medicine. "I had been suffering a long time from stomach and kidney troubles,” said Mrs. Craig, “and I almost believed I would never enjoy good health again. I couldn’t eat a thing without suffering afterward. My food would seem to form into a hard lump in my stomach instead of digesting properly. This would cause terrible pains and very often I had spells of nausea, belching up a sour, bitter liquid. I was going down in weight and losing my strength faster each week. I couldn’t sleep at night, due to kidney trouble, and was subject to rising three and four times every night. When I got up in the morning I felt like I had no rest at all, and I was always suffering with terrible pains across my back. And along with this trouble, I also had dreadful headaches and dizzy spells. “I read so many testimonials of Indianapolis people, who benefited by using Konjola that I decided there was something to this medicine, and I started taking it myself. The first bottle helped me wonderfully and now since I iiave taken my third bottle I am feeling like I never had a sick day in my life. It is a pleasure to enjoy my meals now, without any fear of stomach misery afterward. lam never troubled with indigestion pains, because my food agrees with me and is building me up in a wonderful way. I have gained back my strength and never suffer with backaches like I used to. The headaches and dizzy spells to not come, and I am relieved of night rising and the other miseries I used to suffer. I feel fine in the mornings when I get up. In fact, I enjoy better health in every way and can certainly recommend Konjola to others.” This Konjola is anew medical formula, containing the medicinal juices of 22 natural plants and made into one compound which restores the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels to more healthy, normal action. Konjola banishes the poisons from within the system cleansing the important functionary organs, thus ending the aches, pains and miseries so common among people today. New feelings of health come from the effect of Konjola in a natural and safe way, yet the action of this medicine is amazingly quick and the relief is generally permanent and sure. The Konjola Man is at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and. explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is being sold by every Hook drug store in this city, and by all druggists in the nearby towns.—Advertisement.

or their heads, or thrust through clupisy handcuffs of wood. Diodorus Sicui as describes them working naked in the mines. Everywhere they toiled that Egypt might have food, and pyramids, and kings. x x u KINGS crrrylHEßE there are pawns there yy must be kings. Kings were never so plentiful as in Egypt; they are so common there that we lump them into dynasties, and even so their history is the dullest story in the world. Yet they gave Egypt order, a boon unfelt by those who have had it long. “I made ihe woman of Egypt,” said Rameses 111, “go with uncovered ears to the place which she desired, for no stranger, nor any one upon the road, molested her. ... I took a man out of his misfortune and gave him breath. I rescued him from the oppressor, who was of more account than he. I set each man in security in his town; I settled the land in the place where it was laid waste ” It was one side of the royal story; the other side was war. The history of Egypt begins with Menes, who won his way to fame in the way dear to crowds by coming out of the South, conquering the Delta, and forging South and North for the first time into one kingdom. Menes built a capital near Memphis (twenty miles up stream from Cairo), and established the First Dynasty there in 3400 B. C. (The wise reader will insert the word “about” before all dates in Egyptian history.) After him comes a dreary desert of dynasties, with tragic relief supplied chiefly by war; in the Third Dynasty (2980-2900 B. C.) King Khasekhem boasts of taking captive "47,209 rebels.” Nevertheless it was in this dynasty that King Joser began the characteristic architecture of Egypt with his “step-pyramid” at Memphis. It was, like every pyramid, a tomb, but unlike its predecessors it was made of stone, not brick, and rose to a height of 20(T feet in five stages, each smaller than the one beneath. From this quaint structure came the pyramidal form of Egypt’s most famous monuments. Toward 2900 B. C. the figure of Cheops (or Khufu) emerges dimly from the chaos of kings; we know him only as the builder (or master of the builders) of the first and greatest pyramid, which stands with three others in the cemetery of Gizeh outside the modern Cairo. Here stones have been piled Pelion upon Ossa as if they were the most abundant of Egypt’s natural resources; 2,300,000 blocks, averaging, two and a half tons in weight, measuring in all one-seventh of a mile in length, one-tenth of a mile in width, 481 feet in height and in area 525,000 square feet. The mass is solid; only a few stones were omitted to leave space for the royal tomb. And every stone was fitted to the next with indis-

A GIRL who earns her living whether in store, office, factory or home realizes the necessity of regular attendance at her place of employment. For this reason she works on day after day.

tinguishable joints. It was a miracle of masonry. XXX ISTORIANS have marvelled at the mechanical skill, the „ economic organization, the royal wealth and power revealed by this monstrous mausoleum; and philosophers have marvelled at the patience of the hundred thousand laborers who remained tied to this heavy task for twenty years. Hereodotus has preserved for us an inscription which he found on one of the Pyramids, recording the quantity of radishes, onions and garlic consumed by the workmen who built it. Strong food was necessary for such toil. That is all we know of Cheops; and of Chephren (or Khafre), who followed him and Dedefre on the throne, we know again only the story of nis Pyramid. It stands near Cheops’, just smaller than that colossal tomb; and part of the granite casing which once adorned it survives at the top to suggest how the Pyramids looked in their primeval glory. Smaller still is the Pyramid of Chephren's successor, Mycerinus; and its cover is no longer of proud granite but of prosaic brick—as if the flood of wealth that had poured into Egypt with the copper of Sinai had trickled into a thinner stream. Near by the Sphinx looks calmly at the inquisitive visitor and the eternal plain. It is a savage monument, as of some towering centaur seen in fearful dreams, the body of a lion passing into the head and face of a man. The body was once 198 feet long; but most of it has been destroyed by time and the mortality of stone. The great feet remain, dug out from the encompassing sand in our own day; and, rising to the height of ten men, the gigantic head,

broken here and there, but human enough nevertheless to make some students believe it a portrait of King Chephren. xxx mHE world classes the Pyramids as art; but of course they are merely tombs, built not for beauty but for duration; fashioned not to please the eye but to conceal a carcass and perhaps to impress a people. The honest traveler feels a little cheated when he comes upon them today; photography can eaten everything but dirt, and ennobles objects with vistas of land and sky. One stands humbly where Caesar bade his legions realize that centuries looked down upon them; one feels the centuries and acknowledges the persistency of the Pyramids. But it is the memory and the imagination of the beholder that make these monuments great; in themselves they are trivial heaps of stones. There is some science in them, but little art; a simple geometrical figure, like a child’s house of stocks or cards; rocks heaped upon rocks in dull precision and array, but with no design, no adult sense of, beauty —only a primitive fetichism of number and size. It is not civilization yet; it is barbarism. What the Pyramids reveal is the solid organization of a state that could command a hundred thousand workmen to carry stones for twenty years; a savage power reaching for its ends through blood and suffering without a qualm.

The ancient inscriptions show us the “Great House” of government in which these works were planned and from which the nation was ruled. In this Great House (which the Egyptians called Per-o and the Hebrews Pharaoh) the king lived with his harem and his attendants—wigmakers, perfumers, launderers, bleachers, guardians of the imperial wardrobe and other dignitaries. One tomb describes its occupant "overseer of the cosmetic box, overseer the cosmetic pencil, sandal bearei to the king, doing in the matter of the king’s sandals to the satisfaction of his lord.”

We know that a highly elaborate code of legislation existed, though it has perished utterly. The oldest legal document in the world is a written brief, perserved in the Berlin museum, and presenting to a court a complex case in inheritance. Judges apparently required all cases to be offered not in oratory, but in writing—which compares favorably enough with our windy litigation. Add to these judges a host of scribes or secretaries, a parade of soldiers and an army of tax gatherers (all pictured for us on the monuments), and \ire distinguish the outlines of the oldest state in history. Those early dynasties (111.-VIII.) constitute the “Old Kingdom.” It the age of organization, pyramids and chieftains made powerful with weapons harder than any that men had known before.

Genius is the transcendent capacity of taking trouble, according to Carlyle. Many a man in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is gifted with genius of this description. A spirit prevails throughout this organization which makes such genius the rule rather than the exception. It is the spirit of workmanship. In this spirit a man works for the love of working. His pay check is a desirable and necessary return for his labor investment But his real reward is the thrill of work well done. The highest positions in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are held by the men who have shown this spirit of workmanship to the greatest degree. Men who have none of it do not last long in this Company. In a ’ service organization, every employe must have pride in his job and a sense own individual responsibility to the public/ He must be willing to do the extra thing—he must have a “capacity of taking trouble’'. That sort of genius cannot be compelled by force or bought with money. It is encouraged in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) by recognition and appreciation substantially shown. It is inspired in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) by a common loyalty to one purpose. That purpose is to serve 30 million people scattered over more than 600,000 square miles of territory—to provide them with all the products of petroleum that they need, where and when they want them —to keep prices down and quality up. Service means more to this Company than merely satisfying its customers. It has never known the spirit that exults in “getting by” with as little effort as possible. The spirit of craftsmanship holds sway over the policies of the Company as it does over the work of its individual employes. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) aims to exceed expectations—to anticipate needs and supply them better than the average man would know how to expect The highest excellence that can be achieved by the skill and scientific knowledge of the hour is the standard of production which this Company has maintained from the beginning. The “best” of today is only the “good” of tomorrow. The ambition of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to serve the people of the Middle West according to the very best of human ability and human knowledge is an ambition that can never be permanently accomplished. It permits no slackening of effort, no smug satisfaction. It requires the spirit of craftsmanship from the entire organization—each man doing his job the very best it can be done. Clocks cannot measure nor dollars pay for work done in this spirit. But the people of the Middle West have recognized such work and shown their appreciation by Ointinued patronage and friendship.
