 People H .. .. ..A. form of religion. without superstition. devoid of any thought of Inc future state, have been found in the interior forests of Suma. tra. according to Dr. Wilhelm volz. the geologist of the University of Breslau. who made extensive Journeys though the island. There he found the Kubus, as he named them. who are scarcely to be distinguished from the small manlike ape of the Indo-Malayan countries. They are wanderers through the forest seeking food. They have no property. They are not hunters, but simply collectors. They seek merely sufficient nuts. fruits and other edible growths to keep them alive. The Ku. bus wage very little warfare upon the small amount of animal life in their silent and somber land. The only no ton he could get from them of diff ference between a live and dead per son was that the dead do not breathe He infers that they are immeasurably inferior to the paleolithic man of Flu rope. who fashioned tools and hunted big game with his flint tipped arrow and knife. Intellectual atrophy Is the result of the Kubus' environment. Int words they know are almost as few as the ideas they try to express.-Chicagt News.

UndertakerS,


 Tn England in 1914 undertakers were men of influence who undertook for c consideration to get such persons re turned to parliament as would prove submissive to the royal will of King James I. The three chief undertakers of 1914 were Lords Bacon. Somerset and Neville. They undertook to bribe the chief speakers and men ot infu- ence in parliament that year over to the side of the king. with but partial success. Then there were undertakers in Ireland in 1908. They were English and Scotch colonists sent to north Ire land and were each allotted 2,OOO acres of land. They were men of capits and undertook to pay mark q yea for every six acres and to admit Il recnsant for tenants: hence the nam as applied to them. But neither th histories nor the dictionaries give an reason for calling the men who bur our dead undertakers.

The Mayors voluntary action in writing to the Governor a public criticism of a Su- preme court justice and then permit ting the publication of the letter has added a decidedly serious complica- tion to the Brandt case. He, himself, was for many years a Supreme court justice and it is argued was perfectly familiar with the ru es of contempt.
 1t was reported that Justice Gerard would be advised to demand "a public apology from the Mayor or failing in that to punish him for contempt.
 The question of whether Governor Dix is not also in contempt for as- senting to the publication of the letter was also raised today, and this was also expected to be a subject of con- ference between Gerard and his fel- , low justices.

 an Age to Sick Stomach When millions are used every year. and when every other man or woman that you meet will recommend Stu arts to you if you will but inquire why do you continue to suffer from stomach trouble? What more evil dence can you ask? And as still fur ther proof you can even send and get sample package entirely free. The sample will surely convince you
 The reasons why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets accomplish such results are very easy to understand.

So if you will only give the stomach little help by talk ing a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet you will relieve it of it's chief duty and allow it the rest it needs to recuper- ate. One grain of the active principle in Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablet will di- gest 5000 grains of food, whether you place it in a glass jar or in your stom- ach.
 All druggists sell them. The price is 50 cents per box. If you prefer to try them first write to F. A. Stuart Co.,. 150 Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.. and sample package will be sent you free.

NEW FOREIGN MARKETS
FOR AMERICAN GOODS
Proposed Establishment of a
Museum in Paris to
Exploit Our Wares.

PARIS. July 27.-The suggestion to
found an American commercial museum
i'll Paris as a means of opening the for
eign market to larger class of Ameri-
can manufacturers has come from the
American Chamber of Commerce here
George R. Ostheimer, a member OF the
board of directors. has sketched a plan
for such an organization.
1t is believed that such a museum
would be especially beneficial to the
small manufacturers. whose goods could
thus be made known to the outside
word to the best possible advantage, and
at the least possible expense. \ museum
in Paris. 1t is believed. would be espe
cially valuable. because Paris is the great
central assembling point for visitors to
Europe. and the products of American
manufacturers would be under the eyes
of not only the business men of France,
but all of Europe as Well.
French Tobacco Testers.
Attached to the French ministry of
finance are officials who are little known
to the world at large. They are the to-.
bacco testers of the government, and
their business is to pass judgment on
every kind of tobacco that is used
throughout the country.
This body of men, which one news
paper calls smoke board" consists of
a chairman and five assistants. and from
morning until night they do nothing but
smoke cigars, cigarettes and pipes. so as
to reach estimate of the different
types of tobacco placed before them.
The officials do not hesitate to admit
that the pleasantest part of the days
work comes when 1T falls to their lot
to test the high-priced havana cigars
sold by the state through the thousands
of tobacco stores that exist throughout
France. The employees who undertake
this responsible duty are former in
spectors of tobacco manufactures, who
have passed d certain number Of years
in the state service and have demonstrate
ed their capability for the peculiar kind
OF work.
The injurious influence of the tobacco
they endeavor to combat by drinking
great quantities of black coffee. which
acts, 1t is said. an an antidote to the
effects Of the nicotine.
Increase in Crime.
The question Of morality, as it attaches
itself to the public elementary school, is
again arousng attention together with
the perennial subject of Increased GRIM
inality. Certain provincial mayors have
forbidden the exhibition of bandit"
films N their communes. Moving pic
lures, say which display the ex-
pioits DacheS' are encouraging and
propaga-, crime.
In some quarters this view Is chal-
Ienged with the dec .aration that one must
go behind the picture palace to the eie-
mentary school for the source of the
evil. 1t is there that morals are incul-
Gated and 1t is there that the character
of the young receives it's first impress.
Others. again, attribute the growth of
predatory crime To the growing material
ism. to the ambition that permeates all
classes and to that new spirit OF ex-
travagance which appears to be under
mining the old prudence and thrift of
