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.

given to any man accused of crime.
The case before him happened to be
of that variety that has become so

... All this to prove that we

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

the doctrine which has welded this

Big corn shelling outfits in North

Pat Stanton, owner of several
farms near Tllden and former may

the corn in the center of cribs to be
rotted on the inside, and almost
worthless. Mould also was preva

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.

Doctor Found Women
and Children Sick
More Often thatn Men
As a family doctor at Monticello,
Illinois, the whole human body, not
any small part of it, was I)r. 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.

While women, children and elderly
people are especially benefited by Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, it is promptly

does not cause griping and strain. Con
taining neither opiates nor narcotics,
it is safe for the tiniest baby. Chil

Every drug store sells Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin. Keep a bottle in your

sure to need it quickly.
