BEARD'S ORIGINAL FUNCTION
Hirsute Adornnent Of Man Was In.
tended to Shield the Face,
Throat and Chest.

Why has nature provided man with
beard. and why has woman not been
blessed-or bothered-with the same
facial adornment DR.. James J. Walsh
well known writer and lecturer on
medical subjects. declares there IS no
doubt that the beard was originally
provision Of nature for the protec.
ton OF the face Of man, al outdoor
creature, against the elements. 1t was
a shield for the face, the throat and
the chest Man In earlier days wore
very little In the way OF clothes. The
upper part Of his body. the shoulders
chest and neck. were entirely bare. as
far as we know, and in need OF some
kind Of protection. So nature gave
him a thick beard Another theory
is that propounded by Doctor Hunt OF
Boston, who In the course Of a paper
on the subject recently observed.
Woman finds natural protection for
her throat and chest in the fine layers
OF fat that lie just under the skin
covering her neck. shoulders and
chest Consequently she needs no
mat OF hair to shield her chin aud
throat. The larynx and trachea are
removed further from the surface Of
the skin Ia a woman than in a man.
Hence nature has provided a beard
for man for the purpose OF protect
ing him. just as the layers Of fat pro-
Iect a woman. You rarely find very
heavy growth Of beard on a fat man.
