PdIIS ABOUT the appendix, that violent
SSihptolns appear, and this occurs in
'Hly small proportion Of cases.
me disease Is more frequent with the
young man than with the middle aged
or old
in mild cases the only symptom is q
Slght dull or collicky pain in or near
me right groin. When the infamma-
tion Is more severe, or extends to the
neighboring parts, the symptoms be-
come more pronounced. There is a
sharp pain in the abdomen. signs of
dyspepsia, loss Of appetite, nausea or
vomiting and bowel disturbances are
present. and there is often slight fc-
yer.
In the most serious cases a sudden
violent pain occurs. there is a marked
fever and the patient is depressed and
presents all signs of being very i'll. Hfc-
c"ugn Is often a distressing symptom.
The treatment of appendicitis is one
oi the points upon which doctors dis
agree. Some believe that in nearly
every case a cure will follow rest in bed
a milk diet, cold applications to the alb
dOmen, and sedative remedies. Others
say that an operation is necessary in
every instance, and that this should be
performed the instant the diagnosis of
appendicitis Is made!s before serious
symptoms appear.
The proper course. here as elsewhere.
Is doubtless the middle one, for in many
cases an operation is absolutely neces-
sary to save life, while in others recov-
cry will take place without subjecting
the patient to this serious risk In any
case a sufferer from appendicitis is in
danger and should be under the con-
slant care of his physician.

Seven years after the close of the
Civil War a reception was held in
Lynchburg. Va, to commemorate some
national event (says V. Halsey in Lip

there assembled who had fought in the
war. Among them was a major of a

General Jubal Early, of the Confederate
army, cordially greeted him. Point

AIrtuoa of salad OIL.

salad oil forms a most useful article
OF diet for delicate people. The invalid
who cannot touch cod liver oil should
be encouraged to use freely mayon-
naise dressing. and in eating salad to
pour over it liberal supply of oil. In
cases where the taste for this is not
natural il can generally soon be ac-
QUired.
For some cases of debility and weak
digestion, small doses of salad Oil will
do wonders. Many people have been
able to give up the almost daily use OF
drugs by taking instead a dessertspOOn
full of salad oil on going to bed.
In the nursery salad oil should be
used for rubbing into the chest-back
and front-when there is any tendency
to weakness of the lungs. The pores of
the skin will absorb it readily, and 1t
will be found to have nourishing and
strengthening effect.

FIXING THE TIME OF OPENING
Quotations From the Law
Setting Forth the Time
Eor Opening Kiowa
Reservation.

We are often asked when will
the Ki0wa and Comanche reser-
vation open. In answer to this
we do no more than quote from
the law passed by the last con
gress and approved by the Presi-
dent June 6, 1900. That law
says:
That all all0tments of said land
shall be made under the direction
of the Secretary of the Interior to
said Indians within ninety days
from the passage of this Act, sub
ject to the exceptions contained
in article fuor of said treaty; pro-
vided, That the time for making
allotments shall in no event be
extended beyond six months from
passage of this Act.
Another question that is often
asked us: Will townsiles be
established and surveyed when
the land is opened for settle
ments. In answer to this we
again quote the law.
"When said allotments of land
shall have been selected and TAX
en- as aforesaid and approved by
the Secretary of the Interior, the
titles thereto shall be held in
trust for the allottees, respective
ly, for the period of twenty five
years, in the time and manner and
to the extent provided for in the
act of congress entitled "An act
TO provide for allotment of land
in severalty TO Indians on the var
ious reservations, and to extend
the protection of the laws of the
United States aud Territories
over the Indians and for other
purposes" approved February
%. 1891.
"And at the expirations of said
period of % years the titles there
to shall be conveyed in fee simple
to the allotees or the heir, free
from all incuberances.

READ AND REFLECT ON IT.
The Surrounding Territory Re
fleets the Productiveness of
the Kiowa and Comanche
Reservation.
THE RESERVATIONS

The Indian reservation is located be-
tween the washitas river on tine north and
Red river on the south and between the
esth meridian Of west longitude on the east
and north Fork or Red river on the west,
and contains in round numbers, 4.0OO0,0O0
acres. From this will be deducted about
one million acres taken up by the noun
tains, and like amount to be allotted to
the Indiaus, leaving about two million acres
TO be thrown open 10 White settlers. The
lands occupied by the mountains is only
available for grazing purposes and rich in
gold, silver, tin and coal. These are still TO
be developed.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1900-10-16
WELL wATERED.

The LANDS outside of the mountains are
undulatIng prairie, well watered with liv-
ing streams of water is found by digging at
depths of twenty TO thirty feet. All the
streams bear more or ess fringe Of tim
ber, while large areas are covered with a
growth OF mesquitearees, timber which
make good fence posts and is excellent
fuel. Other sections and some streams bear
a growth of timber large enough to saw into
lumber. ANY or all Of these timber lands
are productive, and will make fine farms.
BY an act Of congress approved June o,
1900, the above reservation is to be opened
TO settlement. On the north side Of this
reservation IS another known as the Wichita
reservation, which may be included at the
sane time, but thisi 4 not yet known. The
law opening the reservation, provides that
the aIlotments shall be made in from three
TO six months, and makes it abe duty Of the
President to issue proclamation opening
the country within six months after the al
lotments are made. 1t is not likely that
the President will take the six months, and
and he may issue his proclamation immedi-
etely after the allotments are made. Thus
It may be ssen the lands may be open at any
time from the early spring TO summer of
uayt wear
