WERE RACE OF CLAY EATERS
French Savants Have PROOF Tnat Fro
historic Parlsians A., Earth
as a Food.

A French savant, DR.. Marcel Bau
1ouin, has discovered that Parisians
at one time were clay eaters. The
present generation, OF course, Is ex.
Guided. The geophagous Parisians
we're 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 a
practice OF mixing clay with their food.
When they had no other food they sim
ply ate The earth. Montmatre clay, 1t
seems, was particularly nutritive. The
sand In the bed of the Seine was an
excellent digestive. Children were
1ursed and brought up on both these
delicacies between the ages of three
and seven.
Many OF these vigorous prehistoric
babies had already worn out their
teeth. II was this very fact that
proves that they were a geophagous
race. The remains of their teeth show
that they were worn and polished by
eating clay and sand, Just like 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 degenerated
from civilization are to be found in
North and South Carolina. Their teeth
present exactly the same Characters
tics as those of the prehistoric Paris
ians, who are, therefore, proved to
have been fond of vol-au-vent dar-
gile, or curried river sand. Certain
elays, adds the professor, are proved
TO have excellent dietary properties,
but he does not go so far as to recon-
mend any particular dish for present.

THURSDAY, DEC. y, 1912.

The international Livestock Show
was in progress last week in Chicago,
1t brought together what is said to be
the largest and best exhibition of cat
tie and other domestic animals ever
held in the world.
This might indicate that the United
States has an abundance Of fine cattle
ito sell and keep" but such is not the
case. There is shortage of beef cat
tie in this country to-day and there is
a shortage Of livestock the world over,
more especially cattle.
G. A. Ryther, vice president Of the
Livestock Exchange National Bank Of
Chicago, has prepared and lis icirculat-
ing a phamphlet entitled "Why Every
Farmer Should be a Stockman." The
publication calls attention to the facts
that the United States is ceasing TO ex-
port cattle: that our own food supply
is being seriously curtailed; that the
past two years have witnessed an
alarming scarcity of feeders and
consequent high prices: that the popu-
lation in all civilized nations is grow
ing faster than the general meat food
supply; that South America livestock
interests have been crippled greatly by
their seasons OF drouth and disease
and that the supply Of meat animals in
the United States declined during the
last census decade, while the popula-
ton of the country increased more
than p per cent.
Mr.. Ryther says a steadily decreas-
ing number of farmers are fattening
cattle for the markets. He advises the
farmers OF the corn belt to go into the
livestock business. The prevailing
high prices for all meat animals of
proper market quality, he believes, are
undoubtedly permanent" Summing
up the argument in a paragraph, he
says:
"The growing population must be
fed and needs meat; the soil must be
improved and msle to produce greater
crops-and needs manure; and farmers
need greater profits which careful
stock raising will alone insure"
Booms are not good thing on gen
eral principles, but the country could
stand a boom in the embarrassing in
dustry and in the dairying business.
The United States needs more cattle
and The farmers who are wise enough
to realize the situation will profit by
il.
