We have bought and we have borrowed
Every patent health device

INTERESTING FACTS
The work Of examining the various
strange peoples at the Worlds Fair for
this purpose brought out many interest
ing facts.
5oe instance, careful scientific investi-
cation has brought out the Information
that the little Negritos from the Philip
pine Islands are inferior to the many
types Of peoples represe at the World 3
/ Fair. In fact, they are the lowest in the
human scale.
The physical development. OF the little
fuzZy-haired Nesritos, their Characters
tics and their mentality are recorded by the
scientific Sherlock Holmes'' as being in
ferior to even the dusky pygmies from the
jung!es OF Africa. whom popular science
heretofore has credited as "the missing

cents from the men interested in an
thropornetry.
The natives played hide and seek with
the scientists when they first learned Of
their errand. The wild Fflipinos climbed
trees. ard with snucy looks dared the men
&c, follow them. They resorted to all sorts
Of tricks to avoid being captured by their
prrsCers.
Al last came happy day for the sci
eitists. The natives had learned the value
OF American money. Fifty cents. the latter
discovered. meant small fortune in their
own money. They decided they would
cast their fate with the scientists. At any
rate. they argued. it was worth taking
chances on.
One of the chiefs, after days of consul
tation with his people, decided to accept
the offer Of the scientists. He was the
bravest OF all his people. II he was not
killed in the new experiment, 1t was de-
cided that the others would follow his
example.
