(International Nnwaroul) SPECIALIZATION IS CAUSE OF MAMMOTH EXTINCTION, HE SAYS Cleveland.—Involuntary race sui cide caused the great hairy mam moths and rhinoceroses whose fleshy carcasses and bones are found well preserved in the great natural ice box of north Siberia, to become ex tinct, Prof. I. T. Tolmachoff, of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburg, told the Paleontological society. Discovery of the frozen remains of the mammoth caused this Arctic animal to take a prominent position in Siberian folklore and Chinese legend at the time that European na ture philosophers were at a loss to reconstruct the animals whose gi gantic bones were discovered in vari ous parts of Europe. In fact the ivory of their tusks entered commerce ns early as the fourth century B. C.. and even now half of the marketed ivory has its origin in the mammoth localities of northern Siberia. Professor Tolmachoff’s idea is that the great animals became over spe cialized and therefore died out. “Examination of plants found in their stomachs,” Prolessor Tolmachoff said, “shows that the flora of their pasturage was not essentially differ ent from the present, and that the climate of the mammoth age was not much warmer. It could not have been much warmer or the preserva tion of carcasses would have been impossible. Adaptation to surround ings is shown by the wide distribu tion. the great number, and the apieuaia pnysicai condition of the animals thus preserved. All were well fed. often overfed, having a thick layer of fat under their skin. Ex termination by man can not be ac cepted. Extreme specialization af fected the reproductive abilities of the race and brought about Its grad ual extinction, although at the same time individuals might be in splendid physical condition. Law-Respecting Judge. From the Milwaunee Journal. II a prize were given annually for the best contribution to jurispru dence. as prizes are given for the best in literature and in efforts for world peace, our vote would go to Judge J. w. Woodrough of the federal court at Omaha. For here is a Judge who holds firmly to the time tried prin ciple that trial by jury should be given to any man accused of crime. The case before him happened to be of that variety that has become so numerous- prohibition violation. There seemed every justification for his granting the plea before him. But this judge refused to use the in junction. even though the Volstead act providr* for injunction and con tempt proceedings He said that them* provisions call upon a Judge to do what the constitution expressly for tttlo "Hoard" Costly From Liberty., The great difficulty in finding a place to keep an automobile N y«*i*n I MO may be imagined from the trials oi a New York automobile owner of 1SW7 who could get no space In the boarding stables operating at that I time because those in charge were I afraid the new contraption would frighten the horse* as (wanted out by Betty Khamion and KUie Johns "In oespaw." write the authors, "the automobile pioneer put an ad vertisement ui ui« paper for a pri vate stable He had aeveiai answers to this, one from a head groom in the service ol one ui New Yuiks HAPPIER. George Elliott. Every year strips us of at lease one vain expectation, and teaches us to reckon some solid good in its stead. I never will believe that ouf ’•oungest days are our hap piest. What a miserable augury for the progress of the race and the destination of the individual, if the more matured and enlight ened state is the less happy one! ... All this to prove that we are happier than when we were 7 years old, and that we shall be hannier when we are 40 than we are now, which I call a comfort ible doctrine, and one worth try ing to believe! bids—“try a person for crime and de prive him ot his liberty without a jury.” The opinion was in answer to a petition seeking a personal injunction against a man charged w’ith selling, transporting, possessing and solicit ing orders for whisky. Granting of the injunction would have made it possible for the judge to commit the man for contempt if he were again caught carrying such beverages. No jury would have been necessary. If, said Judge Woodrough. the de fendant has a had reputation as a bootlegger, let it be inquired into, let a charge be formulated and a jury of his peers be called to hear the evidence. That may seem old fash ioned doctrine to judges in some other parts of the country, especially in the feudal domains of our coal barons where the injunction and con tempt proceedings have been used ruthlessly to jail striking coal work ers, and in an attempt to prevent nthpr workers frnm irivinnr thpep strikers food and shelter. But it is the doctrine which has welded this country of diverse racial origins in to a nation of freemen willing to give their lives, if need be, that those who come after them may be free men. too. It is the doctrine to which all of our courts must return- if America is not to go the way of oth er nations which grew rich and pow erful, but fell because they did not hew to the line of equality in citi zenship.

MORTGAGE SALE ISCONFIRMED Case Appealed from Knox County—Foreclosure Law Was Attacked Lincoln, Neb., " (Special* —The supreme court has confirmed the sale under foreclosure of mort gage the property of D. L. Ander son, in Knox county. The mort gage was held by the Conservative Savings and Loan association, of Omaha. It was resisted on the ground that no appraisal of the value of the property had been made before sale. This constituted an attack on the statute which re pealed the old law requiring ap praisals. Anderson’s lawyers contended that it was unconstitutional, be cause when it was in the form of a bill before the legislature it con tained only the number of the sec tions that it was proposed to amend, whereas the constitution requires that the subject matter be clearly expressed in the title. The court, however, held that the numbered sections contained suffi cient notice as to the contents of the bill, .especially as the first line of the bill contained a subtitle stat ing this specifically. The court holds, therefore, that an appraisal is not a prerequisite to a sale under mortgage foreclosure or under ex ecution. The appraisal feature was re pealed because it chilled the loan ing of money under foreclosure, the old law requiring that the prop erty must bring at least two-thirds of the appraised value, and provid ed that this valuation should be made by freeholders of the county, meaning the land owners’ neigh bors.

Caldwell s practice. More than half his “calls" were on women, children and babies. They are the ones most often sick. But their illnesses were usually of a minor nature—colds, fevers, headaches, bil iousness—and all of them required first a thorough evacuation. They were constipated. In tlie course of Dr. Caldwell’s 47 years’practice (he was graduated from Bush Medical College hack In 1877.), he found a good deal of success in such cases with a prescription of his own containing simple laxative herbs with pepsin. In 1802 he decided to use this formula in the manufacture of a medicine to be known as Dr. Cald well’s Syrup Pepsin, and in that year his prescription was first placed on the market. The preparation immediately had ns great a success in the drug stores ns it previously had in Dr. Caldwell's pri vate practice. Now, tlie third genera tion is using it. Mothers are giving it to their children who were given it by their mothers. Every second of the working day someone somewhere is going Into a drug store to buy it. Millions of bottles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin are being used a year. Its great success is based on merit, on repented buying, on one satisfied user telling another. There are thou sands of homes in this country that are never without a bottle of Dr. Cald well’s Syrup Pepsin, and we have got ten many hundreds of letters from grateful people telling us that it helped them when everything else failed.
