Christmas HolidavH.

Now that the holidays are over and you have abused your digestive organs until they are on the point of rebellion, the proper thing to do is to get back into working condition as speedily as possible "A stitch in time saves nine," is an old saw. but 1t is @ great truth in homely dress and applies with greatest force to the human body. A little trifiing ailment which was not considered worthy of a second thought has in countless instances cost life. A stitch in time" would have saved much suffering and distress to the victim and his family. Those who have to fight the battle of life, the wage-earn- CTS. must at once get in shape for an- other years work. If they start out with an ailing body, be 1t ever so trifiing, they cannot do their best and if no attention is paid to the trouble 1t soon becomes se- were, entailinG loss of time and money, or worse Prudent persons will get rid of the disorder as speedily as possible. A few doses of PRICKLY ASH BITTERS will do this work. It will cleanse and strengthen the digestive organs, empty and purify the bowels, regulate the whole system and Impart a feeling of strength and energy that will make work a pleas ure It is good for the whole family. Chil- dren who are puny, sickly or who have eaten too freely of sweet stun will imme- diately improve under its beneficial effect. For ladies. particularly those subject to headache, indigestion, constipation or the ailments peculiar to their sex, 1t is of the greatest value as it purifes the sys- .s,m thoroughly, tones up the vital or gans, clears the complexion and promotes good appetite, vigor and cheerfulness.

their family affairs. It is the same un- rest and discontent that have been seen especially among the reservations of South Dakota, where divorce has in the last ten years become popular with the Indians. Among those who cannot put aside their domestic troubles by appeal ing to the divorce court, insanity is found.
 For example, a full-blooded Sioux In dian who became insane because jealous of his squaw, has been brought here. He was prosperous among his fellows, and by utilizing his land allotment and selling cattle he came to be worth about S5.OO0 Ills prosperity attracted other Indians and one of these won away the affec. tions of the squaw. The husband brood. ed till his reason left him.
 A succession of real tragedies made Q ftIl-blooded Pima Indian of Arizona 6 fis subject for this hospital. He was tae head of family of seven children. An evil fortune seemed to pursue him, fol one by one every one of the children died. One day his squaw was lost, and when he found her she was dead. The Indian could not forget his sorrows, foi he had no wars to fight and no game tc kill. And his name is written in the books of this institution as another vic. tim of despondency.

PRISONERS ARE FREED
THIRTY NINE TURNED OUT OF
 CITY JAIL.
According to Annual Custom Mayor Carr Directed Chief to Set at Liberty Wrong Doers for
 New Year Gift.

Thirty-nine prisoners in the city prison, serving time for the non-payment of fines assessed in the Recorders Court, were released from custody yesterday after noon. to begin New Year by order of Mayor Carr.
 The time of sentences remaining to be served varied from one day to 1sO days in the cases of the prisoners dismissed. Phil Allen was due for one more day, and Jim Turner six months more of steady labor.
 Six white men, four negro women, and twenty-nine negro boys and men, includ- ing. of course, one negro named George Washington, composed the crowd.
 Smiles, tears, laughter and hilarlty, all jumbled together in profuse thanks, marked the release of the prisoners.
 The wholesale release of city prisoners was due to the Following letter from Mayor Carr to Chief of Police Adolph Gerald
 ''December %, 1903. Chief of Police Adolph Gerald:
 Dear Sir-You will please release from custody this day the following prisoners incarcerated in the city guard house for the non-payment of fines imposed upon them. Thos. H. Carr,
 Mayor"
 The following are the names of the prisoners released: Peter Senney, Austin Galloway. Dan Martin, John Harris, Phll Allen. Willie Spear, Randle Nobles, Will Smith. John McEIlroy, Will Dickerson, A. D. Jackson, Urquhart Davis, Henry Gates. Willie Lee Ray Jerry Taylor, James Lee, John Abercrombie. John Sul- ivan. Rebcca Day, Katie Brown. Nellie Williams, George Washington. w. w. Poole. J. D. Adams. J. w. Richards, j.. A. Mallory. J. W. Bowers. J. w. McEl- roy, J. C. Humphries, Walter McLendon, Adam Smith, Madison Wilson. Will James, Aaron Dent. Bill Wiggins, Alexander Will liamson. Bill Watson, Charles Jackson, Jim Turner.
 It has been customary for some time for the Mayor of Montgomery to release some of the city prisoners who have mer- ited clemency by good behavior, about Christmas time. but Mayor Carr thought it advisable to wait until the Christmas celebrations were over or else some of the released prisoners would be back in jail before they hardly realized that they were out.
 As it is, the Christmas trunks will be passed and they can start the New Year with better determination to work and keep out of trouble.

Newspapers Accomplish Cure
 of Consumption.
Result of a Great Newspapers En- terprise-American Bureau Es-
 tablished in New York.

Exaggerated fear of the Consumption germ is now a thing of the past Con
 sumption is considered just as curable as any other form of disease. and for this knowledge the press must be given credit. If American Journalism never added l another glory to It's achievements, the
 savings of thousands of lives from Con- sumption's grasp would mark its work as well done
 When the accomplishments of Prof. Adolph Hon of Vienna were cabled to | America, The New York Journal and American. with the enterprise which char
 acterizes this great paper. immediately sent Frederick Hammann as the first | American test case to ascertain for the
 American people all that could be learned regarding this cure for consumption. This young man was chosen from among | many hundreds of consumptives who
 visited the clinics of New York in the
 hope of a cure. He returned cured, and
 the history Of his treatment has been
 chronicled in the newspapers from time to time.
 This enterprising act on the part of the New York Journal and American gave
 unimpeachable force to the fact that con- sumption could be and should be cured
 wherever found.
 After this test case, thousands who took Prof. Hofrs prescription were cured This
 resulted, at the advice of Prof. Hoff, in
 the establishment of the American Ru-
 reau at the laboratories of Messrs. Ben diner & Schlesinger, 3rd Ave. and 10th St., New York City, N. Y.

HOME FOR THE BUFFALO.
Plea for the Setting Aside of Vast
 Game Preserve in Oklahoma.

Plea for the Setting Aside of vast
 Game Preserve in Oklahoma.
 Before 1t is too late 1t would be well for the people of Oklahoma to interest themselves in the scheme to establish a big game reserve in the Wichita Noun tains says the Kansas City Journal There is a great forest reserve in the hills of southwestern Oklahoma set aside by congress many years ago. It con tains 5s.O0O acres of land excellently adapted for the big and little game which formerly was so plentiful in America. There are broad pastures in this reserve and thickets of scrub oak, heavy timber, clear and ever living streams of water and rocky fastnesses. Vegetation is abundant; the climate is salubrious. Ap- parently nature has done it's best to make these 5s.000 acres congenial haunt for game animals and a grand, attractive park for sp0rtsmen and the seekers af- ter rest and recreation. Except for the few head still remaining in public or private reservations, the buffalo has been practically wiped out of existence.
 For some accountable reason civiliza- tion took prejudice to this noble animal, Its value was never given a fair test

INDIAN INSANITY.
Lack of Wars, Hunting, Dancing and Employment Makes Them
 Melancholv

Employment Makes Them
 Melancholy.
 Canton. S. D., Special to The World.
 At the close of the first years exist ence of one of the unique institutions of the world. the National Hospital for In- sane Indians, the first data ever collect ed upon the odd topic of Indian insanity indicates that forced civilization is re- sponsible for much of 1t.
 There is a certain mockery about the great stone structure that houses these wards of the whole nation There is feeling that after every attention has been paid them. a debt is still owing those unfortunates. For in the lndi- vidual tragedies brought together here Is to be found the saddest of all the con sequences of forcing the Indian from his natural life.
 In the very first year, half the capacity of the hospital has been taken up; in a few months the last room will have been taken. and additions will be necessary. But there will still be at large probably dozens of redsklnd hopelessly insane and the ratio of insanity will unbouted- ly continue to grow.
 There are no comparative statistics upon which to base conclusions as to causes of more recent Indian insanity But the nature Of the cases Is such that civilization must have had hand in the undoing of their minds The maladies that have led to the condition of many of them are such as are bred by likeness and dissipation. And idle ness and dissipation have appeared every where among Indians because their hab- its have been restricted and little or no employment has occupied their time.
 The authorities of the hospital, Super intendent o. s. Clifford and Dr. J. r. Turner, Assistant Superintendent and Physician. agree that chief of all the causes of insanity among Indians is despOndency. Just as among the whites. breeding over their troubles and disap- pointment undermines the Indian mind quicker than anything else. This Is mum ifested in different ways. But most of these manifestations would be improb- able or impossible in the native life of the Indian. That breeding should fol- low when these tribesmen are denied the employment of hunting or making pil- grimages and are ever prohibited from indulging in their exhilarating native dances. is but natural.
 One of the consequences of the self centriRg of the life of the Indian has been growth in domestic difficulties Many of the Indian insane have reached their condition because of worrying over

HISTORICAL MEDAL.
One of Eight Given to Arapahoe
 Chiefs

One of Eight Given to Arapahoe
 Chiefs.
 John Dillon. a banker at Geary owns a medal alleged to be one of the eight given by George Washington to eight Arapahoe Indian chiefs in 17S9, says the Kansas City Journal. The medal is near ly two and one-half inches in diameter and made of unalloyed silver. It was given to MT. Dillon by an Arapahoe chief, Jack Bull Bear. who declared that it was given originally to his grandfa- thef, White Owl, by Washington, and tram mitted by White owl to his son of the same name who was the uncle of John Bull Bear, and from whom Bull Bear received it.
 on one side is the head of Washing ion, encircled by the words, George Washington, the Father of Our Coun- try" Below is the date '17s9." On the other side are two olive branches en- closing two clasped hands, with the date "17S9' and two crossed pipes beneath. In the outer margin at the top is the word, Friendship" with six stars on each side separating it from the words, The Pipe of Peace" in the outer margin at the bottom of tho medal. The thirteenth star Is immediately beneath the word Friend ship
 The story of the medal as told to Mir. Dillon is that the Arapahoe tribe was in camp at Colorado Springs, in 17SS, when eight chiefs left on horseback for Wash ington. They made the trip successfully. and returned in nine months from the day departed. Mir. Dillon does not know the value of the medal, but has refused all offers for it's purchase.
