CAVE-WOMAN

DAMDCPCn TVDC hlVII LULU I II L Dr. James J. Walsh Says Modern American Wife in Same Class. The American woman of today is a type of the woman th caveman pampered in antedeluvian times, since she lives on choice chocolates and the marrow of everything and grows plump Just as the caveman's wife. Contrary to the popular opinions the caveman did aa the modern man does, that is, works while the woman plays and considers only her adornment. So declared Dr, Jame J. Walsh, the New Vork scientist, who was recently awarded the Luetare medal by the University of Notre Dame, in a lecture on "The Caveman" in Washington v hall yesterday öfter noon. Speaking about the men living be tween 2. 000 and 30,000 years ago. Dr. Walsh said: "We have no greater impression ists alive today than the caveman of thousands of years ago. We think of the caveman as being beastlike, constantly engaged in warfare, but we think wrongly, for the greatest impressionistic paintings ever exhibited are to be found in the caves of Spain, France and Greece, and were done by the caveman thousands of years ago. Iiovctljlls I'amily. "These pictures which were painted on the walls of the caves on the stone are now relating the history of the people to scientists of the present time. The cave dweller pictured the men as tall and slim or the same as the modern Englishman pictures an American. Since tho cave dweller must have loved his wife and children more than all else, he always draws a mother and child. We are told that the women of this period split the bones of the cave bears and ato the marrow; this accounts for their size. "The theory of the moderns is that the caveman was only a step higher than the beasts, but in fact the caveman was a cultured being, lie was a painter, a sculptor and the greatest inventor known In the history of humanity since he brought fire and light into common use in his cave. If tire was taken away from the moderns what "would be left of our industries? And how could we continue to live? The weapons of this man show he was not a warrior, but rather a peaceful individual who took pleasure in adorning every one of his cave utensils." Although it is a possibility that there is a missing link, yet we have no evidence, said Dr. Walsh in conclusion. The cavemen had heads twice tho size of any modern and the few examples that have yet been found have all proved to be false.

For Catarrhal Deafness and Head Noises Here in America there is much suffering from catarrh and head noises. American people -svould do well to consider the method employed by the English to combat this Insidious disc-ase. Kveryone knov.s how da.mp the English climate is and how dampness afftcts those suffering from catarrh. In England they treat catarrhal deafness arc head noises as a constitutional di.e?se and use an internal remedy for It that la really very efficacious. Sufferers who could scarcely hear a -watch tick tell how they h-od their hearing restored by this English treatment to uch an extent that tho tick of a watch was .plainly audible seven and ei-?ht inches away from either car. Therefore, if you know someone who is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deai"n?Fs or head noises, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you will have been the mcr cf saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness.
