WHAT ToTEMIsM IS.
Light on an Interesting ana Little
UaderstOOd Subject.

URderstOOd Subject.
1t Is interesting to note that totemism
Is found not only in Alaska, but among
the North American Indians, the abo-
rhymes OF Australia, the Hottentots OF
Africa and even the hill tribes OF In.
dia. Totems are also common among
the Samoans.
Broadly the totem is the badge OF q
clan or tribe, but it signifies a great
deal more than mere political or social
alliance. 1t is not only a tribal EN-.
blem, but also family sign; not mere
ly q symbol OF nationality, but also
an expression of religion: not simply
a bond OF union among primitive peo-
pies, but also a regulator Of the mar
rlage laws and OF other social institu-
lions. A totem has been defined as "a
class OF material objects which a saw.
age regards with superstitious respect.
believing that there exists between
him and every member OF the class an
intimate and special relation"
Among the Ojibway Indians there
are no fewer than twenty three differ
ent totems Nine OF these are quadru-
peds, marking out the wolf. the bear,
the beaver and other clans eight ara
birds dive are fishes and one Is the
snake
Some extraordinary superstltlons re
garding totems prevail In samoa Thus
Il Is believed that II turtle man eats
OF a turtle he will grow very Ill., and
the voice OF the turtle will be heard in
his inside saying Tie ate me. | am
killing him" II banana man uses a
banana leaf for cap he becomes bald.
II butterfly man catches u butterfly
II strikes him dead. II a fowl man
eats u fowl dellrium and death results,
and SO on, all going 10 show that the
totem has something OF the quality OF
a fetch as we'll as the Significance OF
a family emblem
Regarding totemism, II IS TO be noted
that the relation " mutual help and
protection includes also the totem It.

care OF his totem he expects the to
tenn to return the compliment. IL the
totem Is q dangerous animal II must
not hurt his clansmeu The scorpion
men Of Senegambia declare that the

their bodies without hurting them.
There Is a snake clan IN Australia
which holds to similar belief Among
the crocodile clan OF the Bechuanas II
a man is bitten by crocodile or even
has water splashed on him by one he Is
expelled from the clan as one esteemed
unworthy by the totem -Housekeeper.

Approval of the action of the Ameri-

purpose type Of the breed follows swift.
Those In touch with ruling sentiment
were certain Of the satisfaction with
which the decision would be greeted.
The Sborthorn has from time out Of
mind been the farmers cow Of this
continent. The basis Of farm cattle Inn
provement was laid In Shorthorn blood.
Special conditions have made room for
specialized breeds, some beef, some
dairy, and In obedience to the develop
ment Of these conditions the Shorthorn
has either been modified to the distinct
beef form or turned toward dairy. spe-
cialization or In some cases abandoned
for the specialized dairy breeds. The
men who pin their faith to the red,

America have no quarrel with the spe-
cial dairy breeds under special dairy
conditions. but they yet maintain that
certain individuals of the breed that
have been specialized for years toward
dairy production are quite as profitable

1t is rank foolishness to attempt

or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The only

improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which

the liver healthy and, active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood

and enriches the blosd, purifies the
