it is laid. Put it in green, when it comes
from the mill. If perfectly dried and
seasoned the floor will be so close that

they warp. Use the green plank and
all this will be avoided.
A drop floor in the rear Of the stable,
to aid in clearing out manure, is Il great
convenience. 1t saves much tiresomc

10 feet for stall and manager. With a

One mistake that is often made in
planking a stable floor is to incline the
plank from the manger back. A slight
incline is possibly proper, but much Of

charged nothing. After practically all
the arabic lands embraced in these cess ions
had been taken up further purchases were
made, and new policy introduced; that Is,
the policy of requiring the settlers to pay
from S1.25 to $3.50 per acre for the land,
in order to secure patent at the expiration
Cf the five years term of residence.
The greater amount Of acreage involved
is in Oklahoma. These conditions of
| entry by residence and purchase combined
cover the Cherokee Outlet and the reserVa-
ton of the Pawnees, Tonkawas. Sacs and
Foxes, Iowas, PottOwatOmies. Cheyennes,
| ArapahoeS, kickapOOs and WichitaS. In
| Minnesota, there are the lands com
| priSed in the reservation of the ChlppewaS;
and the great Sioux reservation of North
and South Dakota and Nebraska; Lake
Traverse, North and South Dakota; Yank-
| ton, South Dakota; Fort Berthold, North
Dakota; Coeur d. Alene, Idaho: Nez Perces,
Idaho: Colvile, Washington; Crow, Mont,
and Siletz, Ore.
Delegate Flynn, and other members
| interested in the measure, claim there is no
more reason why the settlers upon these
lands. recently opened to white occupation,
| should pay for their homes, than the home
steaders who took all the splendid farming
area of Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas,
| Nebraska, Kansas, and other regions,
which were obtained by the General Gov
| ernment and opened to free settlement
under the law Of 1862. They claim that
equity demands that all the citizens of the
! Republic should be treated alike in this
matter, and, therefore, they seek to repeal
the existing laws requiring payment for
these lands.
Many settlers have already paid for their
homesteads, the citizens of Oklahoma
having turned into the General Land Office
some 50 100000 on this account. 1t is not
proposed to return this money, but to allow
those who have settled in cash for their
homestead to take another homestead free.
Provision is also made that the Agri-
cultural colleges shall not suffer by the
proposed measure.
Those Of our subscribers who are inter
ested in this subject would do well to write
| to the Speaker Of the House, or any other
member of Congress whom they may
know, urging the passage Of this bill, and
induce their friends to do likewise.
The enthusiastic Flynn thinks his meas
lIre is safe: at the same time he wants the
moral support of the people on the frontier,

FREE HOME BILL.
A Measure of Interest to Large Number o.
People in the West.

1t very often happens that a member of
Congress by concentrating his efforts upon
one great measure accompliSheS far more
than most of his colleagues.
The Hon. Dennis Flynn, of Oklahoma,
is only a Delegate, but for years he has
worked to one end-the passage OF the so
called Free Home Bill"
The bill has been favorably reported in
both the House and the Senate and there
seems to be a first rate prospect OF its be-
coming a law.
This bill interests a great many people
in the far western States. Briefly stated
the cause of those seeking benefit under
this bill is as follows:
All the lands which were ceded or con-
QueTed from the Indians and opened to
settlement after the passage of the Home
stead act in 1862 and down to 1889, were
given to the settlers free, simply upon the
payment of an entry fee at the Land Office
and the occupation and improvements of the
lands for term of five years. Each head
of family, widow. or unmarried person
over 21 years old, was given 16O acres for
a homestead.
In addition to the amount paid to foreign
nations for this territory the Indians them
selves were paid by the United States
Government in round numbers, S103, 800.
600 for cessions covering the States OF
Iowa, Kansas, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
| Nebraska and the two Dakotas. AL

The Starvation Plan
OF Treating Dyspepsia and StOm=
ach Troubles is Useless
and UnSCientifiC.

The almost certain failure of the starva-
ton cure for dyspepsia has been proven
time and again, but even now course OF
dieting is generally the first thing recon-
mended for a case of Indigestion or any
stomach trouble
Many people with weak digestion, as
well as some physicians, consider the first
step TO take in attempting TO cure indigeS-
ton is to restrict the diet, either by select
ing certain foods and rejecting others or
TO cut down the amount of food eaten 10
barely enough TO keep soul and body to-
gether. In other words, the starvation
plan is by many supposed to be the first
essential.
All this is radically wrong. II is foolish
and unscientific TO recommend dieting TO a
man already suffering from starvation, be-
cause Indigestion itself starves every or
gan. nerve and fiber i'll the body.
What people with poor digestion most
need is abundant nutrition, plenty of good,
wholesome, properly cooked food and some
| thing 10 assist the weak stomach 10 digest
| it.
This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and the true reason why they cure the
worst cases of stomach trouble.
| Eat a sufficient amount of wholesome
| food and after each meal take one or two
of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets to promptly
digest it.
| In this way the system is nourished and
| the OverWorked stomach rested, because the
tablets will digest the food whether the
stomach works or not, one grain of the
active digestive principle III Stuart's Dys-
pepsia tablets being sufficient to digest

minous food.

ration, and the daily use of them after

The Easter Monday cgg-rolling festival
belongs alone, in the United States, to the
Capital We have never heard of it else

came here, what its origin, are questions
that are asked yearly by hundreds. After
seeing for the first time thousands of boys
and girls congregated in the White House
grounds, and watching the game of egg
rolling, we, too, became interested in the
same questions.
After research we arrived at some facts
which throw light upon the subject and
which, to our mind, are good reasons for
the game being Washington institution.

back into past centuries. The ancient
