His calendar for March con- tains a photograph of 1.-Two Strikes a Sioux chief, and the following state ment of the facts:
 Indians are found in every state and territory of the Union. There are 1,44l in New England
 The total for the United States is 236,041; more than fifty tribes
 This includes assoc civilized Indians.
 Civilized" means those who i've neither upon reservation nor in tribal relations.

 Besides the above there are 23. 1Sl h. dians iii Alaska, forming 73,42 of the population.
 The fifty three government reseVa- tions for Indians are larger than the whole German empire.
 The occupations of the Indians are as follows: Teaming, growing of corn, hay; cattle and sheep farming; selling of ginseng, fish, berries, wild rice, ma pie sugar, also bead work, moccasins, T,,It Itop, men make beautiful lace.
 Indians are traders, clerks, engineers, physicians, trained nurses, clergymen; many of them are mechanics, support ing themselves at their trades.
 The Indians always believed in the existence of the spirit after death; in the future reward of the worthy, and the punishment of the unworthy. For merly they had priesthood devoted to the office from childhood. Gross heath en degradations still exists among them.
 Our treatment of the Indians from the beginning has passed through seve- ral stages, which may be stated as fol- lows, viz:
 I. Dealing with the Indians by fair tfealleS. lnuS TecOs r'lzlHS HIS PoSseS- sion of the land and c'''er rights. l IT. The en1orced treaty-taking their lands under the form of justice. III. The peace policy of General Grant, i e., the contract system, by which government paid money to vari- ous religious bodies for supporting and educating Indian youth. l ". The abrogation of the treaty pro- cess, recognizing the Indian as citi- zen amenable to law, and no longer a l treaty-making power | " The separation of church anc state in the education of the Indian and annulling the contract system"
 VI The assignment of land in seve. ralty to the Indians under the Dawes 1 Bill" the main effort being to protect the Indian, educate him, and fit him fol citizenship.
 Up to the last of November, 1895, 49 957 allotments of land have been made to Indians under the severalty bill,
 The total government appropriation! for Indians for 1897 is $7,1S9 49679

 " pIU 1T was born with a weak HH Nstomach, and, in consequence, " [ phave been sufferer from dys-
 Irt1 pepsia all my life. There was
 not minute in the day did not suffer with terrible goneness in the pit of my stomach; yet 1 could not eat, and what food l took was absolutely forced down, and was entirely tasteless. "I have tried dozens of the advertised remedies on the market, and not one of them gave me the slightest relief, and had the same experience with prominent physicians here in New Ha- ven. It seemed to me as though l should have to give up the idea of ever finding relief.
 ''I was casually asked one day if l had tried remedy for stomach troubles called Puritana, and was finally induced to try it, although without sincere faith in it's ability to touch my case.
 "Iam surprised at the results already attained by Puritana. After the first three or four days l found the goneness in the stoma1h had left me; com menced to eat my food and relish it. I can certainly testify that Pnritana has and is doing me a world of good. l consider the results attained as being truly remarkable, and shall certainly not be without Puritana, for l am posi- tive that, at last I have a cure for my complaint of a lifetime.
