Government Decides Diploma is
Worth $500 a Year for
Teacher in Philippines.

Salary Fixed by Degree of Learning
Clothes and Appearance

The United States government has
placed a valuation of 5000 year on a
college diploma. Harvard graduates and
the SONS of fresh water institutions
are Jumped indiscriminately by the
government appraisers and will sit
cheek by jowl in southbound ships if
they succeed in passing the prelimin-
arv examination which will be given
throughout the United States Dec. 2S,
to secure eligibles for the teaching SER
vice in the Philippine islands.
In its circulars the government has
dared TO imply that the college man as
moral and intellectual force will
make himself more beniticently felt
among the sayageS of the southern ISL
ands than the products of the normal
school. and is offering him an added in
ducement of 5000 year. For all such
the government offers $1,000 the year
with possible appointments Offering
remuneration of from $1,000 to $4,000.
Graduates of normal and high
schools are offered $1,000 and upwards,
according to demonstrated merit.
Clothes Considered.
That the government takes co3n.Z-
ance of the fact that clothes have a
most seductive effect upon the native is
clear from the fact that the applicant
must submit to his examiners photo
graph OF himself, not more than three
years old. These photographs are filed
with the examination papers and may
be counted upon to influence the judges
at Washington. a complexion that
wears well with summer garment while
not absolutely indispensable is yet high

young women DESTROYS of seeing the

has changed the name of the spelling
from the Otoe to Oto but the postoffice

of the postoffice. so that the station is

The Ponca Agency, located at White

STATEHOOD BILL
TO Be REPORTED
Committees on Territories to
Bring in Their Measure
TIME EARLY NEXT WEEK
Democratic Members VIII
Submit Minority Report.
TIME EARLY NEXT WEEK

Washington, March 25.-The statehood
bill will be reported to the house by the
committee on territories early next week,
but in such shape that a partisan fight
inevitably will follow The sub-commit-
tee in charge of the several statehood
measures agreed upon the provisions or
q bill, and this bill will be submitted to
the committee on territories soon. 1t IS
an omnibus measure, and the Democrat
&c members of the committee win submit
a minority report recommending that
two statehood propositions be considered
instead of the omnibus bin.
1t was learned that the bill consists Of
thirly-eight sections. nineteen of which
are devoted to Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory, and nineteen to New Mexico
and Arizona.
The provisions Of the Oklahoma bill
are practically those outlined in dis
patches recently. The new state is to be
divided into five congressional districts
and two United States judicial districts,
the eastern and western.
The headquarters Of one of the court
districts is to be at Guthrie and the
headquarters of the other at Muscogee.
The state is TO receive an appropriation
of s.. 900 for schOl purposes. on account
of the fact that there are no public lands
in the Indian Territory. All restrictions
with reference to the alienation of lands
are withdrawn. except those relating II
the homesteads OF allottees. 1t is pro-
vided, however, that nothing in the bill
shall be construed as conflicting VITA
agreements and treaties in connection
with The taxation of allotments. The CON
stitutional convention is to consist of 10
delegates, sixty from Oklahoma and fifty |
from Indian Territory.
The state to be formed by the union of /
New Mexico and Arizona is divided into |
three congressional districts and two |

The Secret of Good Looks Disclosed
How TO Look Your Best.

Never was there q time when women did
not try to make themselves beautiful.
What is so lovely as round, rosy face,
white forehead and full red lips; what so
annoying as the black-heads and pimples
on the face, with the dirty greasy look
which always accompanies them. Life is
not worth living, the young girl thinks.
because Of the bad, unpleasant look of
her skin, which she tries in vain to i'm
prove by the use of various cosmetics,
ointments and powders, not knowing that
all the while the trouble is not in the
skin itself, but in the system. 1t is some
times absolutely dangerous TO use out
side applications, for if the skin is simply
cleared the disease is likely to attack
some internal organ of the body, where
it may prove fatal to life itself. But in
purifying the blood the cure is natural,
permanent and without any injury.
