of the races is due to feeding. lie
points out that in the animal world
color is often determined by food, anu
he contends that by chemical process
the same results are shown in the diff
fcrent human races. According to this
theory the original man was black,
since his chief diet must have been
vegetarian Fruit and vegetables con-
tain manganates that ally themselves
with iron, constituting a dark brown
combination Bergfeld states that
negroes who add meat and milk to
their vegetable fare are never as dark
as those negroes who eat only Vege
tables.
Indians are red. it appears, because
they have absorbed for generations
Eaemeglobin, te red substance in the
blood of animals killed for food.
MongoIs are yellow by reason OF the
fact that they are descended from
dark fruit eating races who penetrated
into the plains of Asia, became
shepherds. and lived to great extent

has a bleaching effect.
The Caucasians were another branch
who became still winter by adding salt
to their dietary. Common salt is a
strong chloride. and a powerful agent
in bleaching the skin The effect can

TAILOR MAS GETS LETTER
Black Hand Letter Demands Twenty.
Five Dollars Be Placed at Spot
Near I. c. Depot.

Earnest Mass the tailor received a
threatening letter last Saturday morn
ing demanding that he place the sum
of twenty-five dollars at a designated
spot near the |. c. passenger depot.
This letter was found by Mr.. Mas
in his tailor shop in the Goldheim
building Saturday morning when he
opened up. The letter went on to say
that Mr. Mas had better carry out
the instruction of the letter, for if he
didn't four bloodhounds would be
placed on his trail and he would be
sorry if he didn't do as he was bid.
The writer was evidently not particu-
lar about describing the place where
the money was to be left as the letter
stated it was to be placed in box un-
der red stone that would be found
20 yards west and 5 yards east of the
depot.
Sheriff H. J. Cummings has this let
reporter that it was his opinion that
the letter was written by some young
person who wished to play joke on
Mr.. Mas.
We cannot understand why anyone
would care to make themselves liable
to such a serious offense when the
penalty means heavy fine and a term
in the penitentiary.
