4FLAPPERS" SPUR
SKULL COLLECTING
FormoSan Head Hunters
Strive to Win Favor by
Decapitating Farmers.

"FormoSa, officially Taiwan, where
japanese police are suppressing another
uprising of savages, is the source of
about two-thirdS of the camphor i'm
ported by the United States" says a
bulletin from the National Geographic
Society.
"Formosa is a rugged, oval-Shaped
island about as large as Maryland and
Rhode Island combined, lying of the
Chinese coast at Hongkong.
Many of the natives are adept col
lectorS of human skulls. They inhabit
the eastern portion of the island, where
camphor trees now are sought to thwart
American moths and fever blisters and
to make American movie f1hnS," con-
tinues the bulletin.
During the middle Of the last cen
fury Chinese farmers were too fire.
cuently decapitated by Savages. The
Chinese Government, which then con-
trolled FormoSa, built a hundred-mile
fence between the wilderness and the
civilized farming country in the western
coastal zone. AS the camphor trees
within the fence were exhausted the
barrier was moved farther into the
wilderness. Natives protested by add
ing more skulls to their large collections,
which usually repose on shelves outside
the doors of their huts. Sections of the
fence were charged with electricity, but
farmers living near the fence continued
to lose their heads
I'm 1895 Japan took over the islands
and In 1910 organized concerted cam
paign to subjugate the head hunters.
Camphor Hunters Guarded.
"The head collecting habit among the
savages may be charged to the tribal
women folk. A native girl will not
listen to the pleadings of sutton until
his skull shelf Is graced by at least one
skull, and the more skulls he can dis
play the greater is his popularity
among savage 'fiappers. Shelves with
more than a hundred skulls have been
found in the Formosai1 wilds.
Freshly severed heads must be dis
played at festivals and religious rites.
If the tribesman is unsuccessful in
climbing the fence or digging his way
under 1t, he brings in the head of
leighborfng tribesman.
Guarded gates at frequent intervals
along the barrier are opened to permit
trading with the savages. Savages are
not permitted to enter foreign terri
tory and foreigners are permitted to
enter the wilderness only by permission
of the Japanese police and when ac-
complained by competent guards. And
even the skulls of guarded camphor
hunters stare at tribesmen as they enter
their huts.
Western Zone Civilized.
japanese order and efficiency mark
the civilized western portion of the
island. From the window of railway
train which runs from the northern tip
of Formosa southwark through the
coastal zone the traveller sees clean,
quiet villages and towns, surrounded by
miles Of flooded rice fields, sugar and
tea plantations. In recent years For
mosa has produced $4,000, 00G bushels of
rice, $4,000 tons of sugar and $4,000
tons of tea.
"Taihoku. near the northern termi-
nus of the railroad, is the capital OF
Formosa. 1t is city Of 10000 in
habitants, with wide, well paved streets
frequently flanked with spacious parks
and handsome government buildings"

HINTS ON HEALTH
prepared and Furnished by the
Public Health Education
Committee of Minnesota
State Medical ASSN.

Abuse of laxatives in the presence
of acute abdominal pain is declared
by the Educational Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical association
to be major cause of death in the
United States.
In the presence of universal and
injudicious advertising OF laxatives
that are advocated as the first step
in the cure of disease of all sorts
it is important, in the opinion of the
committee that people be warned OF
their very real dangers.
"To give laxatives in the presence
of abdominal pain is to go full speed
ahead with the red against YOU the
bulletin asserts Both may mean
catastrophe"
In 1926, IL 600 persons in the
United States died because they took
or were given laxatives in the pres
ence of acute pain caused by an in
famed appendix.
'Laxatives cause increased move
ment in the intestine The increased
movement may rupture a distended
appendix or it may spread the bowel
contents or products of inflammation
resulting in general peritonitis.
Abdominal pain is a serious warn.
ing, danger signal. 1t may have
nothing whatever to do with what
the victim has eaten or has not eaten
Complete quiet may be absolutely
essential to recovery. The Indies
criminate administering of laxatives
of any and all kinds has actually
caused more deaths during the pro
ductive period of life than cancer"
Advertising of laXatives which does
not take into account and emphasize
the danger of giving cathartics fol
abdominal pain iy the bulletin con
cludes, a grave menace.
