TO TAKE INDIAN RECRUITS.
War Department Decides to Enlist
Some Able Bodied Redskins.
FEW VOLUNTEERS RE-ENLIST.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE war de-
partment has entered on a new de-
parture in regard to enlistments. in
directing that able bodied Indians be
recruited for the regular army. Word
to this effect has been sent to the Car
Isle Indian school and to recruiting
stations in the West. Several years
ago the war department decided that
the experiment of making soldiers
out of Indians was failure,
and the few companies of red
skins that had been formed were mus
tered out of the service. 1t was
found that Indians did not take kind
ly to the rigid discipline OF military
life, and had ha bit of running off to
join their families whenever they felt
so inclined The intention in regard
to the new Indian recruits is to send
them to Cuba. Porto Rico and the
Philippines, where their superior
knowledge of scouting and woodcraft
would be of considerable benefit to
the white soldiers They will be reg
ularly enlisted and required to engage
in drills, marches and all the routine
of a soldiers experience. There will
not be any organizations composed
entirely of Indians,

frequently brought to his notice, not
withstanding which he supplied Dex-
ter with intoXicants It is claimed
that excessive drinking brought on
Dexter's death, and under u particular
statute of Michigan the case is
brought against the saloonzeeper and

Mr.. EditOr:-For the good Of suffer
ing humanity, and particularly those
suffering from that most dreadful dis
ease, rheumatism, we desire to inform
your readers that the only specific in
the world today for this disease is our
Five Drops" remedy. Five Drops
is the name, and Five Drops" is the
dose. It is not only acknowledged a
specific by the many thousands who
have been cured by its use, but it is
now acknowledged to be such by the
medical profession, many OF whom use
this remedy in their daily practice, and
they state to us that it is the only
thing with which they can cure the
rheumatism. This remedy not only
positively cures this disease, but it
never has failed and it never can fail
to cure any and all of the following
diseases: Sciatica. Lumbago, Neural
gia, Catarrh, Creeping Numbness,
Nervousness, Asthma, Heart Weak
ness, Toothache, Earache, La Grippe,
and diseases of the liver and kidneys.
Five Drops is not a patent medicine,
but was perfected only after vast re-
search in scientific fields, and at great
expense. 1t never can be fully appre-
ciated until it is used. Many OF its
cures border on the miraculous Words
are almost inadequate to express the
great benefit which suffering human
ity is daily deriving from the use of
this most wonderful remedy. It's
merits and medicinal properties are as
far above the other remedies offered
for sale as the mountain is above the

diseases for which it is recommended.

Keep Warm by breathing.

The simplest way to get warm after
exposure to cold, says All He'll, is to
take a long breath with the mouth
firmly shut Repeat this several times
until you begin to feel the heat return
ing. 1t requires very short time to
do this. The long breath Quickens the
pulse and thus causes the blood to cir
culate faster The blood flows into all
parts of the veins and arteries and
gives out a great deal of heat. 1t is
stated that this method of deep breath
ing prevents colds and a great many
other ailments if begun in time.
