WERE RACE OF CLAY EATERS
French Savants Have Proof That Pre-
historic ParisIans Ate Earth "
~ q Food.

French savant, DR.. Marcel Bau.
douin, has discovered that Parisians
at one time were clay eaters. The
present generation, Of course, Is ex-
cluded. The geophagous Parisians
were prehistoric ones. How he dis.
covered all these facts has been ex.
planned by him to the Academy of Sci
ence. The region Of Paris, he says.
was inhabited by tribes that made q
practice OF mixing clay with their food.
When they had no other food they sim
ply ate the earth. Montmatre clay, II
seems. was particularly nutritive. The
sand In the bed of the Seine was an
exec lent digestive. Children we're
nursed and brought up on both these
delicacies between the ages OF rec
and seven.
Many OF these vigorous prehistoric
babies had already worn out their
teeth. 1t was this very fact that
proves that they we're a geophagous
race. The remains Of their teeth show
tnat they were worn and polished by
eating clay and sand, just Nke the
teeth Of the geophagous or earth-eat.
Ing tribes Of Africa and the Pacific
ocean. We know that even in our own
day clay-eaters who have desenerated
from civilization are to .e found In
North and South Carolina. Their teeth
present exactly the same characters.
