The Jennings daily record. [volume] (Jennings, La.) 1900-1903, 1902-03-13

Or. MCGEE Of the Bureau OF Amerf-
can EthnOlOgy has this to say (and
much more than can be given here) on
the matter of the origins of human
races SIS No idea is more firmly fixed
In the mind of the average man than
that all mankind sprang from a single
pair and hence came up in single
place. Nor iseathe prevalence OF the
idea surprising; engendered by the as
sociations of family life. fostered by
honorable regard for worthy ances-
tors. and nourished by tradition. 1t
grows into natural intuition; and
when Intensified by the teachings OF
biology it natures into postulate
SO strong as to be seldom questloneN
Yet once the question is raised the
postulate is seen to be gratuitous. In
the present state of knowledge 1t may
not be affirmed or denied with comb
dence; but it must be recognized that
the idea of monogenesis is not sup
ported by single observation IN the
domain of anthropology and is opposed
to the great body of observations on
human development The notion OF
monogenesis is a pure assumption I'M
ported into anthropology from otner
realms of thought The testimony is
amply sufficient to compel the open
minded anthropologist to tolerate the
polygenetic hypothesis, if not to accept
it as an alternative with that of mono
genesis. so gratuitously assumed.
German Woman's Invention.
The purpose for which the invention
shown in the illustration was designed
is the treatment and cure of bunch

breasts and other deformities to which
the human frame is subject. It's inven-
tor is Katherine Wegner of 66 Pots

Furthermore, there is a scroll device
of oriental embroidery on the collar,

softly blended can be given SUCH an
assertive title!-being a lovely shade

in the narrow velvet ribbons Topped

Miss Georgia Nicholson.

Death has again visited the home
of DR.. and Mrs. Walter Nicholson
this time taking their youngest
daughter. On Thursday last after a
'inrering illress the spirit Of Miss
Georgia Nicholson winged its
flight to the God who gave it. In
lille she made Christ her exemplar
consequently i'll death she had no
f ears. She was not only ready and
willing to face eternity but prayed
that the end might come come
come speedily-and relieve her OF
great bodily suffering which she
had patiently endured for months.
Miss Georgia Nicholson's life
was one of quiet retirement, not
caring fer the fleeting pleasures
and vauities Of earth, hence the
world at large knew bntlittle OF
the many beautiful traits of char
ac.er which she possessed. She is
survived by a loving father and
mother and devoted sister and
brother. Her remains were tenderly
laid to rest IN the family buria.

fort the bereaved hearts of thii

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
'~..cn makes -2-5
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
