nothing to signify. for even at this
period he probably chased small ami
mails and hunted on foot.
AT night he would retire to rough
ly woven nest in the branches of a
tree. When sleeping his head would
be bent forward over his wrists; these
would be crossed in front of his chest,
with elbows down and outward. His
legs would be strongly bent or fiexed,
so that the knees were also near the
wrists. His waist measurement would
be excessively small or he could not
assume this position, which is, as a
matter of fact, hardly possible and
certainly painful for civilized man.
On similar nest close by would be
his wife or wives, with Titan red or
bronze babies sound asleep, and yet
clinging round their mothers neck.
Should raging gale, with sheets
of driving rain. fall upon him, he
would still sleep on The rain would
be conducted away by his hair and
beard, by his elbows and hip joints, so
as to drip nearly clear of the face and
body The hair on the arm, even of
those civilized men who retain suffi-
cient to trace the arrangement, turns
down both upper and forearm to the
elbow; outward and downward from
the wrist. Moreover, if the reader
tries to realize this attitude he will
see that what with hair, whiskers,
beard and eyebrows. even midges and
mosquitoes might be puzzled; they
might lose heart, being diverted and
led astray by the tangled labyrinthine
masses of his chevelure. But we must

So here goesLand remember you
owe him respect as the head Of your
family:
His body would be covered with
hair or fur except on the palms or
soles of his feet. On his head the hair
grew long and thick and was contin-
ued, in all probability, down his cheeks
and chin to form a combined beard
and whisker fringe. We do not think
he had much of mustache, but prob.
ably his eyebrows 'beetled.'
The hair was wavy or curly; it
may have had tendency to be lank,
straight and stiff on his head, but this
is doubtful. 1t was not so woolly as
that of the negro. His children prob
ably had rich Titan red or bronzy
coat of fur like that which one sees
on young Galloway cattle. In the
epidermis as we'll as in the hair were
both black and orange pigment, but on
the whole he was probably moderate
ly dark skinned.
THE face would probably be low
and broad, as compared with modern
races.
His nose would be as broad as il
was long. with nostrils wide apart and
facing a little upward and outward.
The bridge would be almost concave
upward, and the nose itself-all that
there is-of the most retrousse. The
eyes we're small and deeply sunken
under the rather prominent eyebrow
ridges. 1t would not be easy to distin-
guish the peculiarities of his Jaw ON
account of the hairy beard, and per-
haps it was best so, for he had no
real chin and very retreating lower
jaw; long and narrow as well as pro-
jecting or prognathic upper jaw,
heavy cheekbones and extremely
large teeth, often with five roots to
them. Those muscles which are al
work when chewing hard food would
be enormously developed, but those
which are used in speaking would be
feeble and weak.
Seen from n front, his appearance
would be the reverse of prepossessins
the narrow. receding forehead be
ginning with its strong eyebrow ridges
would seem to disappear under the
mop of dark, thick hair, out of which
the little apelike ears could hardly be
seen. He might have stood about -four

ing, reaching to the knees; both hands
and feet would be large. chest narrow

Hints on Golf for Women.

Woman players, especially begin
lners, are inclined to swing the club SO
far around that they are thrown OIL
their balance and the club swings the
woman instead of the woman the club.
This fault can be corrected by keep
ing tight grip on the club at all
times during the swing, as it is the
loosened hold that allows the head OF
the club to drop too near the ground.
In the drive, which requires the fullest
swing of any Of the strokes except
perhaps the brassy shot. the shaft OF
the club at the top of the swing should
not go beyond the horizontal.
There is another point that woman
players. even experienced ones, arb
Eapt to neglect. and that is the rules
u the game. There have been many
matches in which players have been
disqualified through the unconscious
disregard or breaking Of some rule.

chased at any place where golf clubs
@are sold, and the local or ground rules
|of each club are printed on the score

CHILDREN IN THE SlCKRO0M
Writer Is of Opinion They Should Be
Kept From Visiting Their A.
fIicted PIaymates.

Children can do their little play
mates no conceivable good by visiting
or staying near them when they are
sick, and they run serious risk both of
contracting the disease themselves
and of spreading it to others of their
playmates, is the assertion of writer
in Good Housekeeping Magazine. In
view of this l think we should really
hesitate about teaching this visiting
the sick and afflicted" form of altru-
ism to children before they are of an
age to be able to make any practical
application of it without involving
themselves and-the community in Sc
rious danger out of all proportion to
any possible compromising return. We
would not dream of teaching child
of seven that he should rush into a
burning building to empty the con
tents of his toy bucket upon the
flames Infinitely his most useful
service is to spread the alarm, to
shout at the top of his voice to the
nearest grownup that he can find, to
run and tell the policeman, or carry
the word to the nearest fire station OF

deadliest conflagrations which take

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL

If Bladder Bothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your

proceed to load your stomach with a

and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clear, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains Of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass OF
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys Will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
1eutralize the acids in urine so 1t no
longer is a source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.

Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
