INDIAN TerrItorY Town sizes.

Ex-senator Henry L. Dawes. the
chairman of the Indian commission, says
that the town site question in the Indian
Territory has become one of great i'm
portance. There are now about 300, 900
white people in the Indian Territory.
They have built up towns, but are mere
tenants at sufferance, without particle
of title to the lands on which they built.
The Indian courts are closed against
them, as are the Indian schools to their
children, 80, 900 of whom have no other
opportunity for schooling, excepting
those whose parents are able TO hire pri-
vate teachers. They have no voice in the
governments of these five nations, nor
police officer tc protect them or their
property against violence.
1t will be the object of the commits
sion, first, TO obtain such "A solution of
the town site question that those who
have built up these towns and invested
large sums in costly buildings and ex-
pensive stores and trading places may
have some title to the ground upon
which the structures stand and some
voice i'll their government. and, secondly,
to see that the vast and valuable terri
tory shall be held either according to
the original title, for all Indians equal
", or shall be allotted in seveIalty to
them, so that each may hold his own

he suddenly broke of the conversation,
which took place in the lobby Of the ho-

stopping, and said TO the clerk IN loud
voice:
"Call me at 80. I've got TO take an

The Frenchman excused himself hur-

rejoicing in the success of his strata

pared to press it until the dinner bell
should summon him to his day task,
for he had no intention of leaving for

In the Sick Room.

Do not add to the trials OF the patient
by keeping constantly before him medi-
cine bottles. glasses and spoons. Let al!
these reminders of his low estate be kept
out Of sight on neatly arranged table
behind a screen or in the alcove, which it
is wise to have off every sick room. 70
keep medicines or suggestions of medi-
cine before the invalid is about as humane
as to treat condemned prisoner to daily
glimpses of the scaffold.
The sick room should be odOrless., The
air must be let in freely as often as
possible. Pile extra blankets and COM
fortables over the invalid; tie MP his head
that the wind may find no spot at which
to attack him, and open the windows and
doors WIDE Disinfectants are generally
disagreeahle, but they may be used during
the airing OF the room, for the draught
will destroy the unpleasant 0dOr OF
disease.
The bed clothes and the patients linen
must be changed every day. Fresh CLOTH
ing and fresh sheets will do much to pre-
vent the atmosphere from becoming
''stuffy." The patient should be bathed
as often as the physician permits. He
should not, however, be bathed without
the doctors knowledge and direction, for
baths are as effective as medicine, and
their effects are sometimes as disastrous
as the wrong medicine.
