DiSeaSe-Proof Man

For some months the anthropolgc sharps have been
discussing the proposition that the of the future will
be without teeth and hair There is rigid law of
nature than that the useless pershes The hat performs
the function for which hair designed and the teeth
being put out of business by premastcated and pre-
dgested foods So hair and teeth it is contended will
pass away.
And why not the stomach, too? Predgested foods
leave it nothing to do. Indeed by recent operation,
relieved of a stomach and has since been
well and comfortable.
1t has already been suggested says the British Med
ical Journal that the verifom appendix should be
moved from every infant routine Thus
lief would be gained from troublesome organ that has
fallen into dsuse.
But this is clearly insufficient. The surgery of the
future must include far than this The tonss and
turbnate bones of the must also be out because
they may harbor germs.
What Mr.. Arbuthnot Lane calls the ''human cesspool'
that is the large intestine, must also be removed along
with considerable portion of the amentary canal be-
it gives trouble and won't be needed when
living on tabloided foods and pills
The readily decayng teeth already pulled out early
in life and the germ-proof store variety inserted.
The failing human eye will be anticipated by specta-
cles in early youth.
Deficient moral sense and degeneracy may soon be
treated by ventilation of the brain and removal of offend
ing
Thus defended against the perls of civilization the
of the future may be able in his journey through life
to defy the countless enemies that seek rob him of
health

The Typewriter

The other day the 3Oth anniversary of an important
event quietly observed in New York byb the presenta
ton of watch, suitably inscribed, to the first who
adopted typewriting a profession.
There is much that might have been put into that in
scripton The typewriter is commonplace enough today,
but in 80 years it has wrought of the greatest advan
ces in commercial history.
1t has done than marvelously facilitate business
correspondence; it has admitted to important
part in business life souless little machine has done
toword gaining 'women's rights than had the
guments and agitation of centuries.
1t is impossible to say whether the typewriter owes
to woman than to the typewriter but it
is certain that the business world large debt to
both. Together they have wrought wonders.
1t is difficult realize that only 80 years ago there
in the business Offices The sight of pet
tcoat downtown streets outside Of the shopping dis
trcts, would have created sensation. Now things would
look peculiar without them The typewriter has brought
the great change 1t has introduced to all depart
ments of business And who that business has not
been benefited?
Women in many professions and many branches Of
business, but the profession Of typewriter is the only
which offered to women from the beginning.
1t must have been inspiration that caused the first
manufacturers of typewrters, in 1875 to send out little
circulars calling the attention of educated partc

the deusOn that women could not be trusted with
business secrets, the deuson that would inevitably
be coarsened by contact with business and that other de-
lusions still extensively held, that the entrance of
into business is an intrusion.
The woman in business has a hard fight but it cannot
be denied that she is gaining sweeping victory.
The inscription i'll the pioneer typewriter's watch
might have said all this and much more and still been
complete. The woman and the typewriter have wrought

men are classed with idiots and luni-

By the language of the constitution
of Vermont, the state in which Mary
Rogers is to hang all citizens shall
have self-government, with the ex-
ception of perjurers, the feble-minded
and women. The classification in the
state that will hang Kate Edwards,
also names women last, following

Down in Salt Lake they are still
laughing over the failure of Lucas
and McCloskey to make any sort of
a showing with the Salt Lake fans.
In speaking of the visit the Salt
Lake Herald says:

and returned north last night again.
These two secured rooms at the
Southern, where they gave orders
that no one was to see them and
that their presence was not to be
made known to anyone. All efforts
to locate them proved fruitless until
late last evening, when an interview
took place which did not throw much
light on the cause of their visit.
"McCloskey, who did the talking
for the pair, said they came to Salt
Lake to confer with the directors of
the Salt Lake baseball club in hopes
of settling a little misunderstanding.
However, according to the directors
of the club. there is no misunder-
