Certainly crepes, draped and long

long, dipping panels and pinion effects,
are still the most authoritative choice
for both the dinner frOck and the eve

these slimsy effects are not becoming to
the thin woman. They play up her
angles until she looks like a theorcm in

successful on the woman who gains u

How Man Learned To Conquer the
Animals
By r. J and 4, ". Bodmsr


Primitive man was AZ distinct dis
advantage for long time in his rela-
tions TO the lower animals. lie had no
tool. or weapons TO start with, and yet
he needed 70 become the master of the
animal world, because for every one Of
his needs there was som" animal or sub.
stance available which would enable
him to supply il.
Certain forms ~ animal life could
easily be controlled by him; the lower
forms Of life which lived in the water
and on land. for instance, but he could
not fly like the birds, nor could he swim
like the fish. Most Of the animals were
tie"tcr Of foot than he and he had to
learn 70 protect himself against them
in addition 10 conqucring them. Mans
teeth and nails were weaker than those
of the animals, and he did not have fur
to protect his body. II he allowed such
beasts as the lion, the tiger, the bear,
the wolf and the serpents to get within
reach Of him, he had no way to protect
himself.
To accomplish all this primitive man
first set about to kill animals by the
use Of forces greater than he personally
could command. Ills trst weapon nat =
urally was n club, generally long one,
which lie could us" to strike with from
n distance at which the beast could not
reach him, Then he learned to throw
the club at his enemy. Later he learned
how to make knives and to cut his
enemy. At first when fish were very
plentiful, man could walk into the water
and grab supply. Later he invented
the net, His greatest accomplishment
was in learning to throw things, for this
successfully gave him the sling. the bow
and arrow, the cross bow and the rife.

The successful treatment of disease
does not depend entirely upon the
skill of any physician, however great.
Too many people want to acquire
health without making any sacrifice
to obtain it.
Getting we'll depends upon the
earnest, conscientious effort on the
part of the patient, as well as the
physician. Many people take treat
ment as a diversion, and are willing
to make no effort or sacrifice to get
we'll. If getting well interferes with
their daily routine, or their luXuries,
they prefer to remain sick.
Chronic diseases cannot be cured
in a day, a week or a month; only
earnest, conscientious effort Will
bring results.
