Perhaps the most frequent cause of

Illumination OF the mucous membrane
of mouth and throat discolors the
teeth, coats the tongue. causes the
lips to become harsh and sore. and
imparts a more or less disagreeable
odor to the breath. Such condition
must be an extreme annoyance TO the

dainty, and she would do anything ia
her power to prevent it.

not do it in the best way, although he
did the best he could. A story comes
from New Haven about a black spaniel
that distracted d feather buster from

with it tore out all the feathers. The
dog after being shown the featherless
handle, was given a severe whipping
with it, lie then disappeared, and about
an hour afterward walked bravely into

He was born ia Borneo about five

THE TOWN LOT QUESTION.

The time is doubtless near al
hand when the Cherokees, through
their representatives, will reach an
agreement with the Dawes COM
mission that will practically settle
every problem connected with
tribalputonomy. Along with 9TH
Or knotty matters will be the town
lot and townsite question. All
these things must be settled En-
ally and ultimately, and in a way
that will be distasteful to many,
but 1t is hoped will be settled just
ly. The way the Choctaws have
agreed may be just TO them, but
would not do in the Cherokee coun-
try. Whatever of value attaches
to townsites in the Cherokee ma.
ton has been put there by the en-
terprise and individual effort of
Cherokee citizene, and has in no
Instance detracted from the com.

association being held to detern-
inc the time for holding the 1897
convention and where to go for an
excursion? Atoka was, practically,
agreed upon last fall as the place
for the meeting, perhaps for the
very good reason it was the only
town extending an invitation, ex-
cepting South McAlester, which
invited the organization to come
again in 1897. One suggestion has
been that spring meeting be held
and an excursion taken to the
Nashville Centennial exposition;
another that we meet in October
and go to New Orleans on the oc-
casion of the meeting of the West
ern Editorial Federation. The
president Of the Indian Territory
press association will take pleas
ure in issuing a call to the exeou-
tive committee at any time the

pants Of town lots come to repur-
chase them they should be allowed
to do 50 at a nominal valuation.
Whatever a LOT would bring,
stripped Of its improvements and
segregated from surroundings that
make it valuable, should be the
price. The lot that the best build
ing in this city stands on, sepa-
rated as indicated, would have
only a nominal value. An acre of
land in the heart Of this town has
no more value (viewed from this
standpoin) than a similar piece of
land Eve or ten miles out away
from the town. No citizen OF the
Cherokee nation has sustained or
or will sustain a loss to his per-
sonal interest in the common prop.
erty by or OF account of the towns.
The homes Of many of our people
are in the towns and on small plats
of ground they have beautified and
adorned, and it would be an un-
pardonable injustice to them to
place an exorbitant valuation upon
such land made valuable alone by
the money and taste and industry
of the individual.
The same conditions exist as to
the homes of many OF our people
adjoining the towns. Places ad-
vantageously situated near the
towns should not be appraised with
any view to proximity to the
towns, and whatever value may
attach should belong to the indI-
vidual occupant. Justice to the
parties concerned and to others
outside and away from the towns
should be The rule in the settle
ment of this question.

You have heard the married

smoke several cigars a day, and
