SCIENTIST HAS NEW
THEORY OF MANKIND
Believes Europe Cradle Lend
of Race.

The skull of an ancient Galileen
''who lived at Capernaum some 10000
to 10000 years before miracles began
to be performed there" may be taken
as evidence that Europe was the
cradle land both of man and of his
culture, Sir Arthur Keith, famous an
thropologist, told the British AssOcia-
ton for the Advancement of Science.
The skull of which Sir Arthur spoke,
model of which lay on the table be-
side him, is that discovered by Fran
els .Turville Petre, of the British
School of Archaeology, a few months
ago in a cave on the northern shore
of the Sea of Galilee near the site
of the ancient city of Capernaum,
where Christ performed many of His
earlier miracles.
This discovery, Sir Arthur said,
makes all the Biblically recorded
events, which heretofore seemed to
mark the very beginning of history,
become the happenings of recent days"
There was evidence he said that this
early man was capable of performing
a simple surgical operation probably
by means of stone instrument
From this discovery" Sir Arthur
continued, 1--WE can say that in remote
times, as today, the dominant type of
mankind spread abroad from cradle
land, carrying their particular methods
of life with them until large area of
the world was covered. The balance
of the evidence found in this Galilean
cave is in favor of Europe being the
cradle land of both man and his cul-
ture"
The Capernaum skull, the speaker
said, belonged to a species of man
kind profoundly different in structure
from all living races, who was mot
our ancestor, but the cousin of our
ancestor" 1t was mistake, Sir Arthur
added. to look upon this man or the
NeanderthaI man as an ape, for while
the features certainly were more ape
like than those of any man living now
this man had a brain which in point
of size, if not in organization. reached
modern standards at least"
Mr.. Turville-Petre's discovery, Sir
Arthur said, will always rank among
the most important events of our pre-
history
Sir William Boyd Dawkins, profess
sor of geology and paleontology in
Victory university and another noted
anthropologist, told the scientists that
they had before them "the skull of a
missing link"

Millions for Sugar

To the extent of f10,OOO,0O0 the Free
State is substituting the growth of
sugar beets in Ireland. The first fac
tory for the production of beet sugar is
to be erected by Belgian firm which
obtained the concession There was
lively competition among Irish towns
seeking to be selected as the place for
the factory. Carlow was chosen, and
when the decision was announced the
town band turned out and serenaded
the representatives of the Belgian firm.
Bonfires were lighted and there was a
general celebration.

1t was very quiet in the house. Out
side the air was crisp and cold and the
snow covered the ground. Farther
south, of course, Santa would find it
warm and he would open his big coat
and even find it warm that way.
And far out in California he would
find it quite different from where he
had come.
He would enjoy that. He loved the
different parts of the country and the
beauties and particular charms of each
section.
But it was cold where he was now.
At least it had been cold outside.
In the house it was warm-warm
compared to the out-ofdoors.
They had let the fire out in good sea-
son so the chimney was cool and that
kept the room from being very hot.
1t was very, very quiet.
From time to time he heard the tint
est of sounds as though perhaps the
children were turning - their beds and
as though their beds squeakeG g little.
Hanging right by the chimney were
two stockings, two good-sized stockings
and one little wee stocking. Thas was
little Helen's stocking.
Ruth had written to Santa that Helen
was old enough this year to join little
bit in Christmas and SO now her stock
Ing had been added.
The other stocking belonged to
Ruth'S brother Godfrey
Well, Godfrey would have his filed
with all the most interesting little me-
chanical toys Santa had made.
Godfrey loved mechanical toys. He
liked to take them to pieces and put
them together again and he knew
enough to do this.
There were all sorts of things for
Godfrey to work with in his stocking.
Helen's little stocking he filled with
several small toys and few candies.
There was a soft, white, woody lamb

looking monkey and little gray, soft,
felt kitten.
And sticking out of the top was a
little knitted hood which was just too
cunning for words.
In Ruth's stocking he put a game
and new doll all dressed up in lovely
party clothes, doll with golden curls
of real hair, and blue eyes. He also
gave the doll a new dress and coat
which he had bought tne year before
and wrote on slip of paper:
"For Ruth's last Christmas dolly"
Then he hung each stocking up
again, fastening them securely with
heavy books so they wouldn't fall. And
then he hurried off again.
Well, the next morning there was
great excitement.
Godfrey was overjoyed with all his
mechanical toys, and Ruth loved her
new presents but almost the dearest,
sweetest thing Of all was to see Helen
in her little knitted hood.
They all fell in love with the hood
and with Helen--even more than ever
when she wore it.
She looked just too cunning and
dear for words.
The hood was white with a pretty
| little pink border and it was just too
sweet for any description.
All of the family thought so.
mo one but Santa could have found
so adorable a hood" was what they
all said.
And it certainly was true.
ooh, Pm so glad we hung up your
stocking and that l told Santa you
were old enough this year for Christ
mas" Ruth said.
And Helen with her little white-and-
pink hood on her head looked up with
her pretty, lovable little manners and
said:
"Ooh, Use glad, too. loves Sanity

ItoLy's Land Problem

Land reclamation work with which
Italy has given employment to hum
dreds of war veterans, is beginning to
approach completion. In all, $4,000
acres have been set aside for this pur-
pose, some Of the land being the gift
of the king to the men who should ac-
complish it's reclamation. More than
$3,0O0,000 has been granted for the
work Hitherto some of the districts
have been malarious and virtually I'M
inhabitable. Although Italy has vast
tracts of such lands which are not only
useless but positively dangerous to
health, it is still disputed whether it
is economically feasible to reclaim
them In other words, it is believed
by some that the produce of the re-
claimed lands will not be sufficient to
pay off the amounts of money ex-
pended on them.

Portuguese First SLopers

Negro slavery in its modern form be-
gan in the Fifteenth century. In 1441,
two officers of Prince Henry of Portu-
gal brought several Moors to that
country. These were allowed to ran
som themselves, and among the goods
they offered were ten negro slaves,
whose appearance greatly astonished
the Portuguese. The Portuguese soon
had sufficiently recovered from their
amazement to organize company for
dealing in these slaves. They began
the raids on the African population
that continued for 400 years.

took $150,O00,O00 in revenue to Can
ada in 1925, according to estimates of

mining output of Ontario, Quebec and
British Columbia combined More than
100000 American automobiles, it is
estimated, have crossed into Canada

100000 people, or number equal to

Nnjol Works Like Ndtare

Constipation is dangerous for any
body. Nujol is safe for everybody.
1t is neither food nor medicine.
1t does not grippe. 1t is gentle and
natural in it's action and is
prescribed by leading medical
authorities.
Nujol simply makes up for a de-
6ciency = temporary or chronic -
in the supply Of natural lubricant
ia the inteStines. 1t softens the
waste matter and thus permits
thorough and regular elimination
without overtaxing the intestinal
muscles.
Nujol can be taken for any length
Of time without i'll effects. To in
sure internal cleanliness, it should
be taken regularly, in accordance
with the directions on each bottle.
AS Nujol is not a laxative, it does
not form habit and can be dis
continued at any time.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1925-12-03

Ask your druggist for
Nujol today and begin
the perfect health that
is possible only when

is normal and regular.
