allotted to Indians where patents have
not issued shall not be subject to local

in those localities that these lands oc-

pie, secretary of the populist state CEN

garded as necessary, but it was the un-
derstanding that not dollar of the
fund was to be touched unless there
was an actual visitation of the disease
in the country.

In ancient days, as Sir Iepel Griffin points

from It's high estate into comparative bar
barism and when an era OF wars and trorl

equality with men.
Then the Mussnlman conquerors set an
example OF seclusion, though. says Sir
l.epel. IL may be fairly asserted that the
position Of a married Mahommedan wom-
an today Is socially and legally more secure
and protected against arbitrary violence,
either to person or property, than that of
