New Zealand Announces an Invasion Of

The most radical step ever taken BY
Government to foster home industry by
going into the field Of trade competition
is proposed by New Zealand, the originator
OF many industr rial and sociAiistic novelties.
The Australian Governnents have already
gone a great way toward helping the dis
posal Of their products. But now the
prime Minister OF New Zealand has under
taken to buy that oountry's frozen mutton
aud other products Of the farms and ranges
OF Msoriland. to ship them to England
and to establish retail stores throughout
the United Kingdom for the sale and dis
tr;bution OF the products so purchased
Tho Government has figured out the cost
of brokerage and wholesale profits after
the Colonial merchants have taken their
share 1t purposes to wipe these out, and
also all retail profit except that which Govern

of booming the trade in New Zealand farm
produce.
Criticism Of this undertaking ia wide
spread outside of New Zealand, and gem
eral an xiety is felt as to what the British
Government will do about II when an at
tempt is made to carry out the plan.
1T means" says the National Prorisioner.
"that in the competition the British retail,
wholesale and produce commission mer-
chants will 60 down or raise such hue

about the British tradesmen who are wiped

In the year before there were only OIL 100

Since these statistics were collected
there has been correspondingly large

ANTIQUITY OF RHEUMATISM.
Evidence of the Disease Has Been
Found in the Fossil Re-
mains of Man.

| Some months ago farmer near
Lansing, Kan, dug up the fossilized
| remains of human being, evidently
a woman. Recently Prof. Williston
and Prof. Upham, of the University of
Chicago, made thorough examina-
tion of the figure and reached the con-
clusion that the woman fell into the
| Missouri river (then 40 feet higher
than now and was drowned $4,000
years ago. The body was covered with
lime matter, which is preservative.
Then age after age the river strewed
silt over the remains, and finally left
it to be buried in the accumulations OF
the receding shore, says the Philadel-
phia Record.
the scientists are important, since
they prove the existence of human be-
ings on this continent at a more re-
mote period than is indicated by the
relics of the earliest of the buried
cities of Asia, where man is supposed
to have had his first habitat, after
he lost his tail and ceased to live in
the tops of cocoanut trees. The skull
of this fossilized human creature is
well rounded and as capacious as that
of the most advanced Indians of to-
day. The professors affirm that she
was intelligent according to modern
standards.
Perhaps the most impressive dis
covery is that the bones of the fossil
show that she was "pestered by rheu-
matism.' 1t has been assumed that
Noah was troubled by painful joints,
owing to the dampness of the ark, and
it has been matter of reproach to
the medical profession that during the
60 or 20 centuries from the flood down
to this day it has been unable to dis
cover remedy for this universal and
painful malady. How much greater
must be the complaint when it is
learned that for at least $4,000 years,
and perhaps more, mankind has limped
with rheumatism, hurled missiles at
the nurses and swore at the doctors,
just as now; that we are apparently
no nearer cure for this painful af-
Fiction than was the suffering woman
who $4,000 years ago hurled herself
into the muddy current of the turbu-
lent Missouri after trying the drugs
OF the medicine men in vain.
