SOC, 900 YEARS is
MANS AGE, BELIEF

New York, Nov. 24-Dr. J. Leon
Williams, an American, who has lived
abroad for thirty years, during which
time he has made himself a name
second to no living scientist in the
field of anthropology and geology, ar
rived here on the Mauretania.
Dr. Williams came at the invitation
of the Academy of Medicine. He ex-
poets to be in America five months,
and will lecture at various educational
centers-notably before the New York
Academy of Medicine. His subject
is the practical demonstration that
man originated not less than half
million years ago, and to prove this
contention he has brought with him
fifteen human skulls, all of which
have been carefully examined by some
leading anthropologists of Europe,
who agree with DR.. Williams in his
theory.
The principal one of these skulls
was found by workmen while digging
ditch at Piltdown Common, Essex,
about seven miles from Folkestone,
England, and its condition and gen
eral characteristics are such that
geologists and anthropologists have
no doubt that it's age is at least 500,-
900 years.
DIR. Williams said the discoveries
of these ancient skulls and other hu
man bones did not disprove the Dar-
winian theory but altered it in some
degree, and somewhat complexities the
theory of the famous scientist named,
who held that man is direct descend
ent of the anthropoid ape-possibly
the gibbon of Africa.
DR.. Williams and his contemporary
scientists, on the contrary, are of the
opinion that the anthropoid ape is an
offshoot of primitive man, and not
man an offshoot from the ape. He
said that the age of skulls was
closely determined from the erosion
of river beds, various geological for
nations in which they were found,
and especially the growth of stalag-
mites fround about them. The skulls
have jawbones which would not ac-
cept teeth fitted from the jaws of
monkeys.

No Indigestion, Gas, SOurness of Up

Diapepsin'-Try This!

Do some foods you eat hit back

Mrs. Dyspeptic, jot this down. Pape's
Diapepsin digests everything, leaving
nothing to sour and upset you. There
never was anything so safely quick, so
certainly effective. No difference how
badly your stomach is disordered you
will get happy relief in five minutes,
but what pleases you most is that it
strengthens and regulates your stom-
ach so you can eat your favorite foods
without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times-they are slow, but not sure
"Pape's Diapepsin" is quick, positive
and puts your stomach in a healthy
condition so the misery won't come
back.
You feel different as soon as
"Pape's Diapepsin" comes in contact

ishes-your stomach gets sweet, no
gases, no belching, no eructations of
undigested food, your head clears and
you feel fire.
No now, make the best Investment
you ever made, by getting large fiji
ty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from
any drug store. You realize in five
minutes how needless it is to suffer
from Indigestion, dyspepsia of any
stomach disorder.--Ady.

lies in the incidental strains that so
bewitchingly entwine the various

MORE TRENCTIANT WIT.

The average editorial in the Sentinel
is, so far, like infinitv that has neither
beginning nor end. 1t has now cot to
the point that it is hard to say whether
it is fighting Sheppard, the Wilson demo

1t has discovered some one around The

reverend gentleman who it alleges
took a whole afternoon to answer one Of
those sparkling editorials for which the
Sentinel has become 50 famous. 1t seems
to think this discovery has some bearing
OH the question of why it insults the
Wilson democrats, and why it shot some
of its awful, whitening sarcasmS at the
Ramsey elub-the roster of which is at
the Sentinels service If it really wishes
to know who the members are. 1t is
also supposed to have some bearing on
the lobbying charges Of Morris Sheppard.

question of when the Sentinel Joined the

We have now to consider in detail
some of those staggering, solal-plcXu-
jolts so characteristic of the Sentinel.
Did it I(Thc Heraldl suddenly re
form Mr.. Cre1ger, convert him from
its way of thinking or acting. or did
the influx Of the independents money
into the Golfers of the Herald really
convince that paper that Mr..
Creager was not near as bad as
painted rTeyicQslyrand pOliticllly?"
OF course. it is not possible to miss the
cOwardly ~inSinuation conveyed in these
words, an i%nsinuation Nhich the writer
of them dare not put into a direct charge
The Herald has not hitherto paid any
attention to the inucndo, because it has
never beloved that the individual who
was at that time manager and principal
owner Of this paper, needed TO be de-
Tended against anything the Sentinel
could say.
AS to the influx of independents
money into the Herald office, we do not
mind showing a statement of that matter

Roosevelt would call him, that il what

The Sentinel saws ii frankly told
the independent representative we
are running a democratic paper. Il
majority of the stockholders are
democrats and we can not consider
o proposition.
How noble! How democratic, How
Jeffersonian! How the ScntinclS mem
DRY must nave cleared since it met the
gentleman" yesterday in his place Of
business and had an interview with him.
in which it meelIy told him it had no
recollection Of having said that Judge
Wells would close him ont.
The Herald never said Judge Wells
was a stakeholder in the Sentinel. But
a mortgage holder might have the key to
its front door. Anyway the Sentinel
managed to convey the idea to Mr.. More
that Judge Wells could turn the lock
of the Sentinel Office when he pleased.
If ii did not mean that, let ii say what
it meant when it said the Judge would
close it out, if it should print the indie
pendent paper. As to its denial of this,
it is an issue between the Sentinel and
Mr.. More.
The Herald must confess that it differs
from the Sentinel, in some of its methods
at least. While The Herald is a demo
erat it is a business institution, and it
does not question whether its patrons
are democrats, republicans or independ-
ents. 1t is ready today. as ever, to DO
any amount of legitimate advertising or
printing which any individual or assO-
citation of individuals may wish, provided
they can pay for it.
