DUFFY FREE IF WARD WISHES IN ‘PU)T CASE Flint Officials Agree to Send Man Back If Released in North. Authority to release Eddie Duffy, -'f Muncie, to Flint, Mich., authorities, if he so desires, has been received by Albert Ward, United States District Attorney, from the Attorney General’s office at Washington, D. C. Permission was granted by the Attorney General with the provision Flint authorities agree to return Duffy here in case he should be given a light sentence or be acquitted there. Ward said today he had no intention of releasing Duffy until thorough investigation has been made of certain charges regarding liquor conditions in Muncie. “Duffy has made a highly interesting statement,’’ Ward said. U. S. May Want Him “If corroboration of his ctatement should be made by investigation, the Government probably will want Duffy either as a defendant or a witness before the Federal grand jury when it convenes Dec. 12. “We will know what we are going to do with Duffy within the next week or ten days and until that time he will be held here.’’ The sheriff and a deputy from Flint were in Indianapolis Wednesday seeking Duffy’s custody but returned empty-handed after a conference with Ward. Duffy is wanted at Flint on burglary and jail-breaking charges. Consent of Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell would be required before Duffy could be sent to the Michigan City. Statement Is Checked Duffy’s statement to Sanford Starke, Federal Prohibition Agent assigned to investigate Muncie liqier, deputy dry administrator, is being thoroughly checked, Winkler said. The prisoner is alleged to have told Starke two Muncie detectives sought to hire him for SSOO “to kill George Dale, Muncie Post-Democrat editor, and several other men.” He made startling disclosures of alleged official corruption in Muncie, which, if corroborated, may result in Federal grand jury indictments for liq- , uor conspiracy.

Take a Look at Your Tongue If you aren't feeling just right, go to ihe mirror and look at your tongue, if it’s coated, your stomach, liver or bowels aren’t working properly. That’s a bad sign. Better get a bottle of Tanlac right away and give your system a thorough toning up. Many thousands of sufferers from all kinds of digestive ailments have written us that Tanias has revitalized them. Here, for example, is a letter from Mr. A. L. Degenbart, of East Dubuque, 111. “When I felt fagged out, my appetite lagged and my digestion was upset, Tanlac came to my rescue. It brushed away all digestive troubles, toned up my nerves, made me eat ravenously and gave me a mountain of pep!” That coated tongue tells you why the least exertion tires you out; why you have pains in the bowels, gas, sour stomach and dizzy spells; why you have no appetite and can’t sleep. Try Tanlac and see how much the first bottle helps you. The cost is less than 2c a dose. Tanlac contains no mineral drugs: it is made of barks, herbs and roots—nature's own medicines for the sick. Get a bottle from your druggist today. Your money back if it doesn’t help you.

EHE great figures of the Egyptian empire are a warrior and a philosopher. Thutmose ho maintained himself on the throne throughout the first fiftyfour years of the fifteenth century B. C., pushed his armies ruthlessly into Asia Minor, won the battle of Megiddo, and subjected Syria and Palestine to Egyptian rule. Napoleon, attempting the same campaign in 1799, failed. Then, after an interlude of colorless kings, we come out of a forest of names and dates upon the bright and romantic figure of Iknaton. A splendid portrait bust of him, discovered on the site of his ancient capital, Ahketaton, reveals to us the first distinct personality in Egyptian history.

It is a profile of incredible delicacy for the infancy of art; a face almost feminine in its softness and poetic in its idealistic sensitivity. Only such a man could have, dreamed of the audacious revolution which Iknaton, in the face of a reactionary priesthood, struggled to bring about in the religious and moral life of his people. tt tt * ■ "1 O far as we can see through I S the fog of history, morality | *** I was almost completely separated from religion in ancient Egypt, and the function of the priest was exclusively that of manipulating the supernatural. • The family took the place of both church and school in transforming the native anarchy of the soul into the grudging orderliness of adolescence; and as everywhere when morals rest entirely upon the family, parental authority was well-nigh absolute. The man had one or more wives, according to the range of his tastes., and his income. Premarital relations were a common thing. Little restraint was placed upon the social intercourse of the sexes; monuments picture them eating and drinking together in public; and Greek travellers, accustomed to confine their Xanthippes narrowly, were amazed to see the women of Egypt going alone and without harm to their work. , Inheritance through female lines was fully recognized; in a document preserved from the Third Dynasty (2895 B. C.) the lady Nebsent bequeaths her lands to her children. All in all, the position of woman in monarchial and militaristic Egypt was far better than in democratic Athens. There is no tyrant like the people. U a tt —jP P ARENTLY there were A schools; but their function, like that of the French lycees, was chiefly that of preparing scribes for clerical positions under the government. Connected with the treasury were schools designed to graduate expert tax-gatherers; an ancient slab shows such clerks examining income tax returns, and indicates that there is nothing new under the sun. What function, in this moral and intellectual life, was served by the priesthood? None; there is no evi-

dence that they acted as either educators or moral guides to the people. At the beginning they seem to have played the role of medicine men as well as priests; they concocted magiq cures, taught the Egyptians (and through them the Jews) the practice of circumcision and the avoidance of pork, and (if we may believe the gossiping Herodotus) gave at least an example of cleanliness. Aside from this, the first and last function of the priest was to present offerings to the gods, and to direct the citizens in the arts of placating the deities and securing preferential treatment in the other world. At first the local chieftain had been the only priest, and he alone might address the gods; but as creeds and ritual developed, a special class of men arose, adept in magic and ceremony, whose services became indespensable to any one who sought communion or favor with the lords of heaven. Once established as a profession, the priesthood gained with every generation, through gifts and bequests from devoted women, or from men of uneasy conscience and easy wealth.

By the time Iknaton came, the priesthood controlled so much land, and their temples so reeked with silver and gold and precious stones, that they were without rival the richest and most powerful class in the kingdom. The foundation of this wealth and power was the poverty of the people. Only the hope of heaven and the friendship of protective gods could reconcile the peasant or the slave to his dull lot; and the more cruelly life pressed upon him, the more he leaned upon his faith in justice and happiness to come. His imagination created deities almost as numerous as Egypt’s population; never since has a nation worshiped so many gods. a a it HERE was Re, the sun-god, the bright father who ferI—— tilized mother earth with piercing heat and light; and Osiris, the river-god, who made the Nile to overflow with such heavenly regularity; and Hathor, the goddess who was a cow in the sky; ahd Isis, sister and wife of Osiris (the marriage of brother and sister was a usual thing in Egypt); and Horns, their divine son; and Shu and Tefnut and Nut and Keb and Set and Nephthys and Thoth and Anubis and several million others. Later arose the worship of Piah, at first the god of architecture and craftsmen, then the artificer qf the world; and above all, in the .days a southern deity who supplanted of Iknaton, the great god Amon, Re as Memphis gave way to Thebes. What distinguished this religion above everything else was its emphasis on immortality. The it believed of itself called Ka, and additionally by a soul which dwelt in it like a bird fitting among trees. All three—body and soul and Ka —survived the appearance of

processes by which the blood is nourished. “I was troubled with pimples and blackheads, but thanks to S.S.S., I got rid of them. My face now has a smooth feeling. I think S.S.S. does many wonders for the system. Besides giving me a clear complexion, it gave me a healthful look.” Miss Angela Annunzio, 1007 S. Racine Ave., Chicago, 111. S.S.S. is made from the fresh roots of medicinal herbs and plants, and is prepared in a scientific way in a modern laboratory. It is time-tried and reliable. S.S.S. is sold at all good drug stores in two sizes. The larger size is more economical.

death; and if they came clean of sin Into the spiritual realm they would be permitted to live forever in the happy “Field of Food,” those heavenly gardens where there would always be abundance and security. Judge the harassed penury which spoke in this conscfling dream. Those Elysian fields, however, could be reached only through the services of a ferryman, the Egyptian progenitor of Charm; and this old gentleman would receive into his boat only such men and women as had done no evil in their lives. Or Osiris would question the dead, weighing each candidate’s heart in a scale against a feather to test his truthfulness. Those who failed in this final examination were condemned to lie forever in their tombs, hungering and thirsting, fed upon* by hideous crocodiles and never coming forth to see the sun. tt a r-rn CCORDING to the priests, A | there were clever ways of l£_sl passing * these cruel tests; and they offered to reveal these ways, for a consideration. One was to fit up the tomb with food and drink, and pictured servants and warriors to aid the dead against the crocodiles. Another way was to buy charms and place them in the tomb; if they had been properly blessed they would frighten away every assailant and annihilate every evil. A third was to buy the “Book of the Dead,” which gave the magic formulae through which Osiri3 might be deceived on the judgment day. The moral value of the belief in an immortality of punishment and reward was deliberately destroyed through priestly greed; salvation was to come now not from a good life, but from ecclesiastical favors and charms which afll could purchase who had the price. Those who could not pay would have tp reconcile themselves to virtue.
