FAIR Big SUCCESS
PATRONS, CONCESSIONARIES
AND ASSOCIATION OFFICERS
ELATED OVER RESULT
OF EXHIBITION.

A considerably better attendance
than last year, the best races ever
held here and probably as good as
ever took place in this section of the
state, fruit and vegetable displays of
unsurpassed quality which numbered
more than double those entered at
any previous fair here, and free at
fractions which were of the highest
merit and which will be one of the
feature bills at the big Interstate
Live Stock fair in Sioux City this
month, were some of the things
which combined to imprint the stamp
of success on Lake ~county's eleventh
annual fair which closed last night.
The entertainment afforded was such
as to create comment which must
bring larger crowds to fairs to come.
Owing to the recent outbreak of
cholera in the county and TO the fact
that a number of cattle, which were
to have exhibited here having sicken-
ed at Rock Rapids, Ia. where they
were shown two weeks ago, the live
they were last year.
Mrs. j. II. Elfert. Mrs. Fred Riley,
Mrs. Mary Hart Galloway and Mrs.
Percy Scudder. in charge of the pan
try stores, household articles, fine
arts and drawing, painting and man
ual training departments for children
under IA years of age, reported that
entries in most of the departments
compared favorably with, and in
some instances outnumbered, those
OF former years.
The racing yesterday was in keep
ing with the general high standard of
the fair, which included the breaking
last Wednesday of the Lake county
track record.
That which horsemen today declar-
ed was the best lineup of horses that
ever entered a 2:25 pacing race in
this section, fought it out yesterday
for the big end of the purse. The
Deuguard won i'm straight heats, Buz
Patch was second. General Glen,
third and Hal Tolus. fourth. The
best time was 2:15A.
1t required four heats to settle the
supremacy in the 2:20 trot. Mabel
Van, which horse was second in the
first heat. finished first in the next
three heats, and was the winner of
the race. Dulce Laconde was second.
Waneta c.. was third. and Minnie
Austin, fourth. The best time was
2:1712.
BY their repeated rounds of APP
plause spectators again yesterday
gave ~undeniable evidence of their
high appreciation of the acts staged
by the New York Equestrienne com
lpany.

E Ny physiological explanation Of why men
~ think and act as they do is of vital
tn significance TO the psychologist In the
modern study of the mind we coming more
and more to link our observations with scen-
tifc surveys of the physical body.
We have all OF us, scientists and laymen
realized the affinity between stomach and
mind. The ancients had vague idea that the
emotions we're centred in the abdomen. This
was probably due TO the fact that strong emo.
ton is apt to affect the stomach nerves and
thus react upon mental states. We have re.
fection of the common understa ndng Of the
vague relations of mind and stomach In the
old phrase, Il have stomach for this affair."
Man has never seriously believed that he
thought with his stomach. but he has been
aware of a close sympathetic understanding
between his head and his belly. DR.. Fitz.
simmons gave the world q memorable illustra
ton OF this fact in his Carson City laboratory.
These old accepances Of the common people
are always Of Importance when they the
basis of new scientific recognition The re-
cent theory of DR.. John Bryant that mans
type is largely determined by the length and
shape of his intestines finds some popular
foundation
For years scientists have been trying to
classify the human race. They have been
struggling TO discover why one type Of man
differs from another. In the building up Of
several distinct theories have been deduced
The anthropologists have differentiated men
by the shape Of their skulls. We have tried to
classify them by the color Of their skins. The
lower animal world has been roughly divided
into carnivorous and herbiyorous types. But
there the matter has rested Now we propose
to apply this classification to and to show
how we can make such division of everyday
importance to US.
In the group Of mammals, we are informed,
the carnivora are distinguished by long, thin
body form and a short type of intestine in
which the small intestine is markedly longer
than the colon The herbvora, the other
hand. present marked contrast; the body form
is short and thick and the intestine long and
complex, with the small intestine perhaps bare.
ly equal in length to the colon. In other
words, we have our fat contemplative, slow
moving folk because Of the reaction of one type
OF intestine, and we provided with our long.

and thus reflect the many elements in lnstitu-
tons, IDEAS beliefs, arts, literature of which
civilizations are composed. How much has
civilization been built upon mems intestines?
1t has always been interesting fact that the
ancient peoples developed certain distinct con-
tributons to civilization. Some gave US the
arts, others bequeathed us their institutions.
their military organizations, their industry
their commerce. LIE Bon in his Psychology OF
Peoples" stresses the important fact that these
various elements OF civilization have under.
gone very unequal transformation when trans
mitted from one people to another. In other
words, he unconscously empha sizes the fact
that people of a certain physical and mental
type are unable to manifest creative power
except along the lines predetermined by certain
physical and mental attitudes
Consider the Egyptians" says LIE Bon
Their literature was always very weak their
paintings of poor quality. In architecture and
statuary on the contrary, they produced mas.
terpeces. Their monuments still excite our
admiration The Egyptian statues that have

ponderating. They lacked neither educators
nor models since they came after the Egyptians
and Greeks, and yet they did not succeed in
creating personal art. No people. perhaps

productions"
mention these historical facts to emphasize
that the psychologist who attempts to trace
back this new theory OF the mental attitudes
Of the carniyorous and herblvorous types among
the ancient peoples has rich and interesting
field to work. Perhaps he can tell us through
the application Of this theory Just why thu
phoenicians were commercial people when all
the great influences of old world ideals In

ach for the arts? How is it that the Hindoos
have stomach for architecture and none
whatsoever for science? How is 1t that the
Roman intestine for architecture Is hardly
more than an appendix to the art of Greece?
Perhaps through the discovery OF the type of
intestines OF the ancient peoples we shall be
able to trace the present hereditary Strains az
commerce and the arts.

eating and the cerealeating peoples. Egypt,
as LIE Bon points out has always been the
tomb OF the many different races that have
effected its conquest. Not single people has
been able to acclimatise itself in the country
Neither Greeks, Romans, Persians. Arabs nor
Turks have been able to leave behind them a
trace OF their race. The only type that is met
is that OF the impossible Fellah, whose features
exactly resemble those engraved seven thou
sand years ago on the tombs and palaces of
the Pharaohs. Perhaps, now, our psychologists
can give us some idea of the intestinal tyne of
the Egyptians and compare it with the types
OF the long line Of unsuccessful invaders Here
surely is opportunity for experimentation upon
type OF people that has maintained its phy.
steal identity for over seven thousand years.
The relation of environment, heredty, and
the formation of a mans intestines and the
determination by these ntestines of a mans
physical and mental type, grow even more

land. the only European nation, lie Bon says,
that represents an almost completely fixed
race. In this the ancient Brton the
Saxon and the Norman, all of the. carniyorous
type. have grown into highly homogeneous
type.
On the other hand in France, as LIE Bon goes
on to show. the Provencal is very different from
the Breton the inhabitant of Auvergne from
the nhabtant OF Normandy. In France there
are types trne to certain regions. And these
types are distinct in their ideas and character
1T is difficult in consequence" says lie Bon,
ito devise institutions which shall suit them

getic concentration that It Is possible to lend
them some community Of thought. Our pro
found divergences OF sentiment and belief, and
the political upheavals which result therefrom,
are due. In the main. to differences of mental

the future will probably intensity rather than

discoveries Of DR.. Bryant give us clear. re.
markedly simple physiological basis for this
conflict.
History then becomes largely matter of
length OF ntestines The short intestine is the
pioneer, the conqueror, the disturber; the long
Intestine is the cultivator the pacifist, the de-
veoper of what the innovator has won for
him. But in defense of what he possesses the
ox.man may fight brayely and successfully.
The great waves Of conquest that have swept
over the world have apparently been led by
tiger-men. Alexander. Julius Caesar, Tanner.
lane Genghs Khan. the commanders of the
Mohammedan and Moorish hordes were un-
doubtedly tiger-men The Aryans, who con.
quered Europe in early historic times and have
since extended their dominion over the greater
part OF the world, were led by the tiger type.
Pizarro and Cortes, the Spanish con0uerors
of America, were clearly tiger-men. Despite
apparent differences, the American Puritan
fathers belonged to the same class, according
to Dr. Bryant. Their form and features prove
It clearly. Their restless. aggressive charac-
tiers we're a psychological expression OF the
physical factor. Perhaps even their harsh
stern and often cruel conception Of religion
may be traced To the same fundamental cond-
tons
All the American pioneers from Daniel Boone
to Fremont show the physical characteristics
Of the tiger type. In the present struggle be.
tween those who fight for a greater America
and vigorous foreign policy and those who
stand for paciism and intense industrial do
velopnent we see the same age.ong conflict.
Or course TINS theory that our mental as
we'll as our physical types more less
predetermined for us by our intestines Is mater
ialistic to shocking degree. but that must not
deter us in giving 1t an open mind. 1t rather
upsets thinkers who believe that mind is the
fundamental essence of existence, and that the
body is hut form of mental expression. It
awards the body the post Of command and the
mind is made a reactionary TO physical condi-
ton. 1t means that the mind cannot by con-
scious effort think away physical aspects. 1t
means that the body by predetermined at
tributes controls the broad type Of mental out
look.
If we accept this theory we shall have
fascinating time running back over our old
school histories to determine the influence
upon civilization Of the two types. the meat
