New Chapter In Anthropo,esy.

II is an extraordinary chapter in an
thropology that Prof. Wood-Jones.
of the University Of London, reads
In the Talgai skull and associated
remains discovered In New South
Wales In 1889. The antiquity sus-
gested is far greater than that Of the
European Incient skulls. and. instead
Of being descendants Of the anthropoid
apes, the human race is shown to have
been 80 highly developed as to have
boats and domesticated dogs before the
apes appeared. This skull. distinctly
human and highly mlnerallzeL, was in
a stratum with extinct pouched ami
mails. Bones Of dingo dogs were found
in q similar stratum, and with them
bones Of extinct pouched animals that
had been gnawed by the dogs. Only
pouched animals were known in Aus
tralla at the time Of Captain Cook.
Australia has been an island since
pouched animals were evolved, and It
Is argued that the Talgai man must
have come In boat with his family
and dogs.

The Curse Of The Credit System

Every nation has its curse and ours
is the overworked credit system ~
applied to the ordinary expenditures
Of life and especially to the table. II
every business and professional man
were asked as to whether he would
rather sell for cash at considerable
discount In price or continue the
credit system, We believe the vote
would be unanimous In favor Of cash
and reduced profits. The credit sys-
tenn is nuisance. 1t is . national
disgrace as we'll IS community
curse. Wherever the credit system
prevails there We find the usual num-
Der Of slow pays and genuine
deadbeats.
The merchant pays for his goods
and In turn someone must pay him.
He cannot live on wind, hope or ex-
pectations. 1t 10 case Of mo cash,
no live" Every business man who
extends credit gets taken In by the
deadheads. He loses not only his
profits, but the cost Of his goods as
we'll. And what then does he do?
Just what you or any any other sem
sible person would do-raises the
prices sufficiently on his wares to
protect them against such losses.
And the man who pays his own bills
also pays the bills Of the deadbeat. II
a person can pay at the end Of every
thirty days 1t would require but little
retrenchmsnt and sacrifice to enable
him to reach . point where he could
pay cash as he goes.
When the merchant carries your
account he virtually lends you his
money and this should not be. The
bank is the proper place for such
transactions. By paying cash for his
goods the dealer can get q substantial
discount from the wholesaler, and
this discount, together with the saw
Ing Of the usual deadbeat losses,
would make . material reduction In
the cost Of supplies. But he can
hardly stand the strain Of q cash
transaction himself while extending
from thirty to ninety days credit to
Dick, Tom and Harry and all the
little Harrys. Prices are high but
conditions are no worse here in the
west than In other parts Of the contry.
The wall is heard In every city and
hamlet, and the volume 10 exceed

"Give us reliefr' Is the cry. "Give
yourself relief" we say. To great
extent the remedy Is In your own
hands. Some are welded to the mail

they pay 1t back to the freight 10

Do you hand over your cash before
