'Gout is the bane of existence, a very

patients with household remedies. Down
south, where grew up, people swear by
the buttermilk cure. With good reason
too-lactic acid, the sour of buttermilk,
attacks and dissolves every sort of earth
ly deposit in the blood vessels. Thus it
keeps the veins and arteries so supple
and free-running there can be no clog
ging up, hence no deposit of irritating

nor of poisonous waste in the muscles.
It is the stiffening and narrowing of the
DloOQ vessels Which bring on SenlIe de-

sweet milk. It's food value may be less,
by chemical tests, but in every other
way it is very much more. If you have
govt or a equity tendency, drink quart
of buttermilk every "a hours, eat no
meat, nor sweets, let alone pastries,
spiced things and wine, but allow your

'Since ash cake is beyond the reach
of city people, they must make out as
best they may with graham crackers,
shredded wheat and so on. Hot soda
biscuit can occasionally do no hurt,
provided they are light and well baked,

SCARED BY IN DIAN WELLS

A crowd of United States States sur

Gently working in the reservation of the
Comanche Indians, surveying, establish
ing corner stones and getting everything
ready to divide the land in quarter sec
tionS. The Indians did not take very
kindly to the division and allotment of
their land, and, seeing that the whites
were scared, they decided to act. The
surveyors were all tenderfeet from
Washington. Suddenly, without warning
their camp was invaded by a yelling,
shooting band of 500 Indians in war
paint and feathers. The surveying par
ty could not stand the pressure and
started out for the settlements along the
Texas line and kept up their flight, pur-
sued by the Indians, until they crossed
the state line Then they telegraphed to
Fort Sill and the commander there sent
out a large cavalry force to protect the
surveyors. The general suppOsition is
that a lot of cowboys and young bucks
played a practical joke.
