KNEW USE OF THE CEREALS
Evidence That People Of the Stone
Age Did Not Live Exclusively on
Animal Food.

There is nothing to indicate that
the men of the later stone age did not
have buckwheat pancakes for break
fast. It has been learned that not
only buckwheat but many other grains
of the present day, such as corn. bar
ley, fax, rye and oats. formed an Inn
portant part of the daily bread con-
sumed by the people of the latter half
Of the stone age. known as the neo-
lithic epoch.
It is generally admitted that the
men Of the age of hewn stone were
hunters. With Asiatic invasions the
manner Of living changed. The neo-
lithics began to raise domestic ami
mails and to cultivate certain species
OF plants. the remains Of which are
still to be found.
Corn is the most ancient plant
known. Scientists have observed
samples Of 1t In the celebrated layer
of the Mas DAHL, or end of the hewn
stone period.
It is believed that this kind Of plant
Is essentially of Asiatic origin. It
could have been brought into Europe
by nerolithic invaders. Egyptian
wheat has also been found. Barley IL
also pretty frequent. being repre-
scented by six distinct varieties. On
the other hand, rye and oats were
known, but were rare. Flax was rep
resented by different kind from the
present species.
The other plants Of that age were
probably gathered In a wild state.
Fruits were generally cut In quarters
and dried; such as certain little spe-
cies Of apples and pearl.

What After Safetx7

Everybody from Dan to Beersheba is now thoroughly convinced that safety first is the proper thing. It may not, always be possible to agree upon whose safety it shall be, but considered wholly in the abstract anybody caught putting anything ahead of safety in these enlightened days of peace and good will would have to dodge anath ema the rest of his life.
 Indeed, so anicab1y and universally settled is this problem of safety first that many are wondering if we shouldn't now stop talking about it and commence to consider what shall come after safety Safety, although the first thing. is not the only thing. What shall we have for second? Any sug- gestion, however foooltsh, will be wei cone.-Life.

He does not get along well under chilling conditions, and that is why the sweet ness of milk can be preserved if 1t is kept cold.

rHE POWER OF oo1p FACTS.

A remarkable instance of the pow err of the newspaper press has just been given in England. A complete. read djustment of the cabinet govern ing that country has just been fore ed, and it is said to have been due to a dispatch from a correspondent Of the London Times. This dispatch dweIt on the fact that the army was being supplied with too much shrap- mel and too few high explosive shells.
 If the downfall of the English cab met is thus truly explained, it is an instance of the power of careful and accurate statements of fact, both in newspaper work and in political cam newspapermen in this country who are mere armchair critics. They can write brilliant and slashing ar ticles, but they lack a foundation of solid investigation.
 The political stump is full of off, hand statesmen, who can get you up a s1am-whanging speech in a, half hour. It exposes the ajbsurdity and futi1ity of opponents, and is clever, witty, and sets the galleries to cheer- ing. But when the though tfl1l citizen gets home he asks himself, What more do I know about my govern ment? To which he must answer. Nothing.
 Probably one reason why political rallies are not well attended is that there is too much arm swinging and too 1ittle<real information.
 American newspapers are all the time presenting carefully prepared statements fact, that are just as influential in a more limited field as has been the dispatch that is said to have broken the English cabinet. But the national temperament interposes obstacles in the way of the most ac- curate work. The public demands it's news quick. It would rather take an 5unverifled rumor today than to have an editor spend 24 hours get 1 ting more accurate information and come in late with his story The public planes the newspaper press for inaccuracy, and then forces the newspapers to compete under con ditions that make accuracy difficult if not impossible.

 A number of elephants were taken on board a vessel aE Calcutta, and the steamer went down the Hugh river. At night it anchored off Sangor point. The sea was as still as oil, but the ship rolled so much that she was in danger of going over. The elephants had found that by sway1ng to and fro ali together they could produce pleas ant rocking motion. As the ship had no other cargo and rede light the cap tain. was much frightened. The ma houts, or keepers, were hurried down into the hold, and each. one, seated Oh his own beast, made him '.hreak step but they had to stay there for a long time.

THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST
 CANCER IN NEW ENGLAND.

The New England states generally show a higher death rate from can- cer than any other group of states. This does not mean that New England people are more susceptible to this disease. Cancer is a. disease of later adult life and it is well known that in parts of New England there are more old people approximately to the population than in many other re- gions. Nevertheless, the death rates recently published by the U. $. Census Bureau have stimulated much activ- ity in these states in the educational campaign for the control of ma1ig- nant disease.
 What are the facts upon which this movement is based? According to1the report of the Census Bureau, in 1913 there were 49.92S deaths from coneer in the registration area of the United States. corresponding to a death rate of 78.9 per 100000 of the popu1a- tion.
 All the New England states have individual cancer death rates much higher than this. Connecticut's rate, winch was the lowest of any of the New England states, was 85.1. Yer mont's rate was te highest with Ill., T, while the rates of the other states were orresponding1y high, Maine having Q rate or 4O1.os New Hdn1p- shire 104.4 Massach usetts, 101.4 and Rhode Island 93.3 When these fig ures are compared with those of Kentucky, with a rate of AS, they seem indeed very high They mean that 6,817 people died in 1918 in New England from cancer. But it does not necessarily follow that cancer is more common in New England than elsewhere The Census Bureau at tributes the high cancer death rates in certain districts to the relatively high. age distribution of the popu1a- ton and the negligible amount of im- 1r1isration. Translated into everyday terms this means that in New Eng land the proportion of people over forty years of age, 4or at the cancer age, to those under forty and so less liable to cancer. ais greater than in other places Yet there is no doubt that the cancer death rate in New | E5ngland as well as in other %parts of the country is much higher than l it ought to be. Without question | 9. large percentage of cancer deaths l can be prevented by early recogni- | ton of the symptoms and prompt re- l course to competent surgical advice | and treatment. Cancer is not g l hopeless incurab1e affection, SC
 many people wrongly believe Those who know the facts believe that il | the public can be properly educated 1 in regard to the early signs of the disease and will act on this knowledge | the present mortality should be re- duced at least half and perhaps two l thirds.
 That New England is awake to thii | ODD ortunity of saving lives is eviden
 from the activity in several states. IT.

GERMAN UNIFORM CAUSES CENSOR
 TO CLOSE PLAY

Paris, May 25.-The kommanoan- ;tur," the Belgian war comedy drama, based the German occupation or Brussels, after g. successful debut Tn London made a doubtful success in Paris and has now been. condemned to an early withdrawal by the prefect of police. It is the appearance Of German uniforms on the stage that, constitutes the principal French ob-s lection to the piece. The critics find and drama. A revival of the piece is promised after the war.
 La Priere dams la Nuft,' by Monsieur Noziere, is another war drama in which espionage is the basis of the plot and which, like the stKorn- rnandantur,'' ends in violent and tragic justice to the enemies of Bel gf1n and France.
 seColette Baudoche'' taken from the novel of the same name, by Maurice Barres, is not a play of the war but is timely as showing the conditions in Lorraine before the war and the conflict between the native 4nhabi- tants and the German ipmigres.
 All of these pieces have ardent critics for the. reason that each of them treats dangerous subjects and lays bare the irritations to which France has been, or still is, subjected The only successful theatrical pro- ductions since the opening are the traditional s@Revues'' in which the poignant is sacrificed to the simply patriotic and in which wit Is given full play.

CHINA IS FIGHTING
 TRAFFIC IN WOMEN

Picking, May 25.-A Reuters tele- gram from Kweiyang states that +'the Canton traders continue to carry on a. traffic in women and girls, who are taken through the Tatanghsien dis trict to Canton''
 Conditions of poverty are so intense that it is a custom throughout the country for parents to sell children, either boys or girls, when they are unable to support them As rule, the parents of a child can obtain a number of dollars. according to the child's age; but in famine districts, where poverty is increased, prices have run to below fifty cents per child In the large cities. however, to which the traders from the interior bring the children for sale, the price may run up, for a strong and good looking girl in her teens, to over fifty dollars.

apt TO express the belief that the rail

few exceptions. Among them Is South

It Is questioned whether something more
important may not lie behind this vague
