as 43 without complications, and the
remainder complicated With measles,
typhoid and other diseases In the

single serum injections, before the
third day the entire group was cured,
he said. In most cases within y

Man of Future to Be
Practically All Brain

Two million years from now man
will have a great brain, but he will be
lacking in physical strength and ugly
to look upon, says Prof. Conrad
Theraldsen of the zoology department
of Northwestern university. Several
days ago the professor created a stir
when he said man was not directly de-
scended from a monkey, but that
100000 years ago he was something
like q cousin of the anthropoid and
closely resembled him. Today Profess
sor Theraldsen turned the picture
around and looked into the future
100000 years, and this is what he
saw:
A big bulging head supported on Il
sliver-like body with short arms and
legs and maybe hoofs instead of feet
There will be little use for strength
in that dim period ahead, and conse-
quently man won't have much muscle.

ing work of all classes, from the

They give the highway or drainage en-

exact physical picture of the country.
With the map spread out before him
he can lay out his project with conn
dence, instead of having to organize

Copies of portions of the map will

out incurring the necessity of indi-
vidual physical studies on every new
