cries of rheumatism are exploded and
abandoned by all. The Osteopathic
theord, viz: Interference with blood

tenable one. 1t is followed by the
medical doctor when he directs pa
tients to hot springs that the hot
baths may relax their contracted
muscles which are dammlng back the
blood flow But the other obstacles
thickened ligaments, displaced verte-
bra. ribs or pelvic bones, are in the
Osteopath's field alone. These ad-
justed the vase motor nerves regain
control of the blood vessels, pres
sure removed and the normal circula-
tion is restored
The uric acid and poisonous pro-
ducts are results of the stagnant blood
and not causes.
Can anything be more reasonable
than this? Certainly experience con-
firms 1t, When the Osteopath fails to
cure, II is due to lack of skill to
detect and remove these obstacles

opath is skillful. Drs. Hoisington, in

INDIAN PROGRESS.


The Indian may have been slow,
according to some peoples notion, in
advancing from barbarism to civiliza-
ton. but whether he has been any
slower than the white mans ances-
tors is a question which historians
will have to decide. A competent au-
thority says that he has made more
progress in the last 20 years than in
all the previous years since Column

In support of this view several in
eteresting facts are given; OF the
10000 Indians in the United States.
only about $4,000 are blanket Indi-
ans" The rest wear white mems
sclothes and conform in varying de
gfees to white mems ways. There are
20 900 of them in schools.

oats, rye and barley. $4,000 bushels

ber and put up $4,000 rods of fences.
They own 10000 square miles of land
and have s36,OOO.OOO to their credit
in the governments treasury.
Recently President Roosevelt said
to a delegation of Sioux who called
upon him: Sell half Of your ponies
and buy cattle. You young Indians
must work. The government will
take care of the old men" 1t seems
that they have been doing just that
very thing.
Formerly the number of ponies
owned by the Indians was largely the
measure Of their wealth, and in 1890
they possessed 446,244 of them. In
1903 this number had dropped to
$4,000. while the number of cattle

In the new scheme for the distribu-
ton of vessels of the British navy it
is reported that Great Britain intends
to pay the United States unique
compliment by practically ignoring us
in the distribution of her ships. 1t
is said that there will probably be
only two vessels stationed on the
whole North American coast, one on
the Atlantic and the other on the Pa
cific, with headquarters at Canadian
ports. There may not be more than
two vessels in West Indian waters.
The explanation of this withdrawal
from American waters, as stated by
an English admiralty official, is as
follows: while the relations be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain remain as they are, we do not
need any warships over there. II
would be a waste of money to keep
any there"

For the first time in the history of
man, these powers have been scientif-
ically investigated in our day. AL
ready the result is that a considerable
number of men of science have had
the courage to avow that. after allow
ing for illusion, fraud and every pos
sible hypothesis of Interpretation,
they have been driven up to the ulti-
mate solution of the problem-the
belief in the actual communication OF

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Golfers for December 81 claims
that some of the leading railway pres
idents realize that to dodge reasona-
BILE regulation now is to prepare for
drastic attacks or government owner
ship in the future.
The more liberal-minded of them
would be satisfied to see stricter con-
trol of rates as well as the abolition
of rebates. if they could be sure of a
competent commission and proper ia
cilities for trial, and especially if they
could secure the removal of the gen
orally discredited provision against
pooling. If rates are strictly regulat-
ed. pooling is a natural and harmless
step i'm the profitable working of com
peting lines. The phenomenon of the
day that is doing most to educate the
business world to acquiesce i'm some
government control is the gain made
by the sentiment for public owner
ship.
In Canada, it seems to be growing
even more rapidly than here, one sug-
gested reason being that vested in
terests are less powerful there. In
Toronto. ottawa and Hamilton, mu-
nicipal ownership of street railways
is the leading issue, and the relation
of the Dominion government and the
Ontario provincial government to the
building and operation of railroads is
very radical from an American point
of view.
