One Of the most striking customs
Of the past that are preserved by the
Indians of to-day is found among the
tribes on the Devils Lake reservation

of the Indian service. gives the fol-
lowing account Of this peculiar prac
tice:
From time immemOrial the Devils
Lake Sioux have adhered to an old
custom in regard to the treatment of
a guest. According to their etiquette.
1t is the bounden duty of the host to
supply his guest with all the food he
may desire. and. as rule. the APP
pOrtiOnment set before the visiting In
dian is much in excess of the capacity
Of single man. But by the same
custom the guest Is obliged to eat all
that is placed before him else he
grossly insults his entertainer 1t was
found that this practice would work
II hardship. but instead of dispensing
with the custom the Indian method OF
reasoning was applied and what is
NhoWH "S 'he ptoieSSioiiui edttI was
brought to the front.
''While the guest is supposed to eat
all that Is placed before him ii serves
the same purpose if his neighbor as
sists in devOuring the bountiful re-
past. the main object being to have
the plate clean when the meal is fin
ished. 1t is not always practicable to
depend upon neighbor mt table to
assist in getting away with a large
dinner and in order to insure the final
consumption of the allotted portion
visiting Indians call upon these pro-
fessional eaters, whose duty it is to
sit besides them through meal and
eat what the guest leaves The pro-
fessiOnal eaters are never looked upon
in the light of guests. but more as
travelling companions with particu-
lar duty to perform. These eaters re-
ceive from 81 to 81 and even 81 for
each meal where they assist 1t In
stated by the agent at the Devils
Lake reservation that one of the pro-
fessional eaters has been known to
dispose OF seventeen pounds Of beef at
a sitting. That they are capable Of
eating an almost fabulous amount

Adirondack Game Freed.

DR.. W. Seward Webb, who has one
of the finest gam preserves in the
world at Nehasane, in the Adiron-
dacks has turned loose many elk,
moose. black-tailed deer, English stays,
caribou and other game. that they may
rOa m the public wild lands. says dis
patch to the New York Herald.
DIR. Webb takes much comfort in his
Adirondack park. which originally in
cluded about 10000 acres, but from
time to time he has disposed of large
tracts or opened territory to sports
men until he reserved for the exclusive
use Of himself and friends only 5000
acres.
This tract was entirely surrounded
by high wire fence. which was
patrolled throughout the day by game
wardens. The great forest within the
Enclosure contained scores of animals
which cost DR.. Webb at least $1OO
each.
The fence. while combining big game,
also kept out sportsmen and canoe,sts
During the last few months much Of
the fence has been destroyed by falling
trees. which were ruined in the forest
fires.
Owing to the fires, which have ne
cessitated numbering operations on a
wide scale. Dr. Webb has finally decid-
ed to open the fence and free the gu

London, March 28.-The Washing

says that Russia is continuing her
efforts to induce the United States to
agree to the naturalization of New
chwang and the west coast of the Lilac
Tung peninsula so as to prevent the
Japanese from using those places az
bases for the invasion of Manchuria
The United States firmly declines to
accede to the proposal. She has in
formed Russia that she regards New
chwang as being as much within the
zone Of hostilities as Port Arthur. She
as also refused Russian request that
she withdraw her consul from New
chwang, at least not until his life is
considered in danger.

Acts Like Oxygen.

Liquozone is the result of process
which, for more than 20 years, has
been the constant subject Of scientific
and chemical research. Its virtues are
derived solely from gas, made in large
part from the best oxygen producers.
BY a process requiring immense APP
paratus and ID days time, these gases
are made part of the liquid product.
The result is a product that does
what oxygen does. Oxygen gas, as
you know, is the very source of vital
ity, the most essential element of life
Liquozone is vitalizing tonic with
which no other known product can
compare. But germs are vegetables;
and Liquozone, which--like oxygen
is life to an animal, is deadly to vege-
tai matter.

That price was paid because Liquo-
zone does what ali the skill in the
world cannot do without it. 1t does
in germ diseases that which is inpos-
sible with drugs. 1t carries into the
blood a harmless yet powerful germl-
eide, to destroy at once and forever
the cause Of any germ disease. And
no man knows another way to do it.
Liquozone is new in America, and
millions who need it don't know Of 1t.
For that reason we are spending $780,

On every bottle of Liquozone we
publish an offer of $1,000 for disease
germ that it cannot kill. We do that
to convince you that Liquozone does
as we claim.
Please note what. that means. Any
drug that kills germs is a poison, and
it cannot be taken internally. Medi-
cine is, therefore, almost helpless in
any germ disease. Liquozone alone
can kill germs in the body without
killing the tissues, too.

Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to help Nature overcome
the germs, and such results are indi-
rect and uncertain. Liquozone kills
the germs, wherever they are, and the
results are inevitable. BY destroying
the cause of the trouble, it invariably
ends the disease, and forever.
