Then all of sudden they'd be yelling

A Detroit surgeon approves the de

1t is more nearly like the attitude
which nature intended human crea-
lures to assume than the upright,
chest-out, shoulders-back position.
Back in the dim pre-glacial times, he
says, men "prowled the beaches on
all tours" and trouble for mankind
and work for surgeons were made GER
tain when people rose from their
knees and took on the "dignified and
noble attitude at present observable"
1t is this surgeons idea. it appears,
then. that If human folk lived in
state of nature, or In that state consid-
cred most natural, they would be dis
ease proof. This is an interesting the
DRY and would warrant a backbone
ture-on-all-fours movement If It were
not for the fact that creatures living
perfectly natural lives are subject to
disease just as much as men and wom-
en-. Disease among lions, tigers,
wolves. coyotes and rabbits have been
met with and noted by sportsmen,
trappers and naturalists. Epidemics
among birds have killed thousands.
Even the lowly oyster is subject to
Ills to the great loss of the oyster
industry.

and literary gentlemen giving the very
highest approval to the laws and ways
