Judge Hull is Nominated.

Judge Cordell Hull, being the
only candidate to qualify lin the
Democratic Primary, to be held
August l, becomes the nominee
of the Democratic Party for
Congress,
Judge Hull will likely have no
opposition in the election in
November from any source. He
has stood by the President in all
measures for the prosecution of
the war. and is regarded as one
of the most valua BILE men in the
National Congress. His record
of honorable service for nearly
twelve years reflects credit and
distinction upon the people who
send him as their Representative,
and his constituency honor them
selves in honoring him.
The loss of the services of
Judge Hullin the National House
of Representatives at this time
would be a distinct loss TO the
Nation. The question of Revenue
to defray the enormous expenses
of the war, and of just and fair
methods of taxation to raise the
money, is just as essential as the
actual fighting, and there is no
better qualified man in Washing
ton than Hull to deal with these
important questions.
There will be little politics in
the selection of members in the
next Congress. and men like
Cordell Hull, of proven ability,
loyalty, and patriotism, should
be returned, regardless of party,
and without any contest. -Liv.
ingston Enterprise.

found in their teeth the near mouth in
fections by parasites, known to moderns
as alveolar pyorrhea. Even sea turtles
were affected by this disease. That the
entire animal life Of the Cretaceous era
must have persisted with tumors and teeth
infections Is shown In the fact that, m
the following Tertiary period, there were
new types Of animals arising which had
not inherited former troubles.
Gradually, disease again crept into the
world of animal and plant life, assuming
new violence In the later Pleistocene era.
Flesh eating mammals began q world

Grey, themselves became victims OF
prevalent fatal diseases. These infec-
tions roughened and softened the bones
so that they readily broke INTO fragments
The infections apparently ran, in many
cases, through the bones OF the eptlre
skeleton. Matthew first noted and de-
fined the process after an examination OF
a creodont carnivore named Limnocyon
potens. from the Washable Eocene forma-
tions. Later excavations In the tarpits Of

earlier reptilian mosasaurs. Osborn, ex-

the same era, noted that they, too. we're
likewise infected. Then came the Miocene.
when the ancestral three-toed horse
gracefully roamed over much Of America
and to which the name of Meryhippus
and Jaws became infected with parasites,
producing swellings from which his de-
scendants, the horses Of to-day, are saved

Bereft Of his teeth, Meryhippus miserably
faded out Of existence, with no soothing

The antiquity of disease is shown In an
appalling manner by the recent discovery
Of Professor Charles D. Walcott, secretary
Of the Smithsonian Institution, Washing
