Siberian Witch Doctors Believe Prehistoric
Elephants Cause Earthquakes by Burrowing

In the belief of the fungus witch
doctors of Siberia, the giant pre-
historic elephant known as the
mammoth exists as huge burrow-
ing rat, whose death is certain the
moment he sees the sun, states a
curator of Physical Anthropology at
Field Museum of Natural History,
in the Field Museum News. Other
Siberian natives believe that earth
quakes are caused by these gigantic
"rats" tunneling at high speed just
below the surface of the ground.
On exhibition in the division of
Paleontology at Field Museum is a
complete skeleton of mammoth
and large mural painting repre-
senting it as it appeared in life; and

moth ivory beads, and a superb
pair of mammoth tusks from the
Lena river, Siberia.
"The mammoth, which roamed
over Europe in Pleistocene times,
became extinct more than a hum
dred centuries before the birth of
Christ" the story states. "Prehis-
toric man hunted and trapped this
huge animal for food, made beads
of his ivory tusks and tools of his
long bones. On smooth pieces of
bone, too, he engraved, with tools
of flint, symbolic drawings of mag
ical and religious significance.

First Concrete House

In 1874, Joseph Goodrich, a Wis
consin pioneer, transported cement
by wagon from New York to build
Milton house in the village of Mil
ton, Wis. It was the first archi-
tectural concrete building in the
United States, occupied originally
as home, then as hotel, later as
a warehouse, and lastly as a print
ing plant. This cement was import
ed from Europe as none was made
in the United States until the first
production in Pennsylvania IN 1872.

A doctor would tell you that the

Is get at its cause. That way you
don't have to endure it first and

avoid having it.
Chances are you won't have to
look far for the cause if you cat
the super-refined foods mos
people do. Most likely you don't
get enough "bulk"l And bulk"
doesn't mean a lot of food. It
means a kind of food that isn't
consumed in the body, but

The best way is to give the native pronunciation

There is an evil portent threaten
