Indians Dying
OF Civilization.

kINGMAN, Ariz., Jan. 23-t'nless
The Government adopts at once string
ent preventive measures the once great
Mojave tribe of Indians will be wiped
from the face of the earth by the
scOurge of consumption.
The Mojaves, to the numbe' cf
about 5000. dwell along the Colorado
River north of The Needles. most Of
them on the reservation. although they
scatter through the country on both
the Arizona anu California sides.
When the Mojave Indians adopted
the white mans mode of living and his
wearing apparel their retrogression be-
gan, and from race that was physi-
cally perfect the Mojaves degenerated
to a tribe OF Indians. who are dying by
wholesale from the rayages of tuber-
culosis and its attendant evils.
The Mojayes are by birth and mode
of living very suspceptible TO this dis
ease. They have very small chest de-
Nelopment and in their lungs the
germs find an inviting habitat. During
tho winter months whole families
some Of whom may have consumption
sleep In small single-room mud houses,
with no ventilation other than the fire
place. They are unclean in their has
bits Of cooking. eating and drinking
During the winter they never battle.
while in summer they bathe too much
remaining in the Colorado river nearly
all day. They are not regular with their
meals. and nearly always eat and
drink too much. This causes derange-
ments Of the stomach preventing the
proper assimilation Of food. producing
emaciation and anaemia which are fol-
lowed by consumption among those
predisposed to it.
The MoiaFes are a peaceful agricul-
tural people. and almost entirely self
supporting. the Government rarely be-
ing called upon To aid them.
AT the reservation agency steps are
being taken to gradually get the Mo
iaYes back to their former mode Of
living. 1t Is believed that once they
readopt their dwellings Of brush. with
the attendant better ventilation a long
step will ~ taken toward the stoppage
Of the plague, which Is exterminating
them. Then too. ii Is intended to per
snade the Indians 10 do away with the
Use of heavy clothing, a habit which
they never knew until the white set
tier taught them to clothe their naked
ness Athletic sports will be taught
them and in every way possible will
the doctrine of fresh air be impressed
upon the tribe. In the hope Of prevent
Ing the further spread Of the disease
