For 80 years." writes Attorney
Entriken, II was troubled with
eczema, scabs all over my face, body
and head. I could run hair brush
over my body and the floor would
be covered with scales enough to

"Just a month ago I was induced
to try D. d. d. Prescription. The

THE HUMAN RACE.
Will Man Simply Shrink OF the Face
OF the Earth?

A French statistician who has been
studying the military and other rec
ords with view Of determining the
height Of men at different periods has
reached some wonderful results.
He has not only solved some per
picking problems in regard to the past
Of the human race, but is also enabled
to calculate its future and to deter
mine the exact period when man will
disappear from the earth.
The recorded facts extend over near
~ three centuries.
1t is found that in 1910 the average
height Of man in Europe was Its me-
ters, or, say, five feet nine inches. In
1890 It was five feet six inches. In
fraction. At the present time 1t Is
FIVE feet three and three-quarter inches
1t is easy to deduce from these figures
a rate Of regular and gradual decline
in human stature and then apply this.
working backward and forward, to the
past and to the future. BY this calcu-
lation 1t is determined that the stature
VI tuc uTbt uIcu dttuIucU Tue SuTpTIS'
ing average Of sixteen feet nine inches.
Truly. there were giants on the earth
in those days. The race had already
deteriorated in the days Of o.. and
Goliath was a quite degenerate Of
spring Of the giants. Coming down to
later time. we find that Mt the begin
ming OF our era the average height Of
man was nine feet, and in the time Of
Charlemagne 1t was eight feet eight
inches. But the most astonishing re-
suit Of this scientific study comes from
the application Of the same memorable
law Of diminution to the future. The
calculation shows that by the year
1000 A. u. the stature Of the average
man will be reduced to fifteen inches.
At that epoch there will be only lilli-
putians on the earth. And the con-
clusion Of the learned statistician Is
Irresistible that 1.-The end Of the world
will certainly arrive, for the inhabit-
ants viii have become so small that
they will finally disappear'-"finish by
disappearing" as the French idiom ex-
presses it-"from the terrestrial globe"

WORLDS RECORD REJECTED.
Walker Beat Gun When He Did 10 2-5
Seconds For 100 Meters.

Walker Bout Gun When Hs Did 10 2.5
Seconds For 100 Meters.
The worlds record Of 10 2-5 seconds
for the 100 meters made by II. e. Wal.
ker, the sprinter, at Pretoria on New
Years day has been rejected by the
South African authorities.
The reason given against the per-
Torrance was that Walker beat the
pistol, and in all fairness the new
mark could not be allowed to go on
the record books. The accepted
worlds mark Is 10 40 for the dis.
lance. Walker himself being one Of
the joint holders, and there was great
surprise when he clipped two-fifths
Of a second off what is considered a
pretty stiff record.
On another occasion 1t was reported
that Walker ran 100 yards in 2-5,
which is even a greater feat than rum
ming 100 meters in 10 %. No proof
has yet been received whether he got
the best Of the gun in the hundred
Yards.

MRT0NEY AFTER T0NGBOAT.

Issues Challenge to Indian.

In all probability Tom Longboat,
king Of professional long distance run

fend his laurels against Matt Malo-
ney. the very best of present day am
ateurs.
When Maloney recently quit the am
ateur ranks to become professional
he Immediately issued a def to Long

soon as Longboat accepts.

Of lowering the colors Of the Canadian

the route over the indoor course he
proved in the recent amateur indoor
Marathon at the Madison Square Gar
den. New York. which he won from
Pat Crowley in hollow fashion. The
time was considerably slower than
that Of the professional Marathons
seen in the Garden this year. But
Maloney started in field Of several
dozen performers and had to run
around the field, going much farther
than the prescribed 26 miles 1856
yards. That he has the endurance he
showed both Mt the Garden and in the
Rye to New York race. That he has
the speed he proved in the latter race.
when he established new worlds
record for the distance. The fact that
Maloney will bet such a large sum on
himself indicates that he Is game and
confident. He is the only one in the
country that seems to have a chance
with the great Indian.

loaned 100000 to Waitsburg farmers

the grain companies were forced to
borrow money from Liverpool and
eastern banks to handle the grain
crops Thousands of dollars were eX-
pressed annually into towns of the In
land Empire, and the interest on this
large amount Of money went to outside
banks.
This year the banks at most of the
grain centers will have sufficient cash
on hand to handle the enormous crop.
1t is three years since the Waitsburg
banks began to handle the crop situa-
ton, and banks in other towns Of the
Inland Empire began to furnish crop
money at about the same time. Inter
est which formerly went to outside
banks will be kept at homo this year,

Amos w. Butler of the Indiana State

saving that "a much larger per cent of

less per cent of those so discharged
manages to keep out offprison. Under
the new system by far the larger num-

Justice Franklin j. Fort of the

Marquis Barr. warden Of the Ana

a man is found to be insane. he is sent
to the hospital to be retained until
