WIRES NOT NEEDED
INDIANS HAVE OWN METHOD OF
SPREADING NEWS.
Speedy Communication Between Scat
tered Points Is Marvel to Whites
Greek Chief Tells Of Instances in
Point.

The rapidity with which the news
Of orders given out from the union In
dian agency and the Dawes commits
sion spreads to the remotest corners
of the Creek nation is continual
source of wonder to the federal OFF,
Gals. When, in October, the regula- |
ton compelling Indians to accept the |
pay for their land in installments CT
$40 month was announced it seemed
that every Indian in the Creek coun-
try knew it at once, for the petitions
for sale dropped off Immediately. A
few days ago, when the order was re-
voked and the Indian was allowed to
pay for his land at the rate of $50 u
month, practically everybody knew 1t
the next day and business in the
Creek land sales department suddenly
became lively again.
When it is remembered that there
are several thousand full-blood Indians
| in the Creek nation who can not
speak or read word of English and
have no way of learning the news OF
the day except by word of mouth, the
| speed with which intelligence is COM
municated to them is most remark
able. Most of the full-bloOds live In
the hills and mountains, far from rail-
roads and in sections where daily or
even weekly papers are seldom or new
or read.
General Pleasant Porter, chief of the
Creek nation and the best Informed
man in his tribe, when asked to ex-
plain the phenomenon, said signifi-
cantly:
1T may be mental telepathy. Let
me. ask you a question. How does the
buzzard flying through the air learn
that an animal has been killed and
why are there hundreds of them on
the scene in less time than it takes
to tell about it? You may call it in
stinct, or anything else you please
but the Indians keep as we'll posted or
news that interests them as the news
paper-reading white people.
My people have formed the habit
Of communicating whatever interest!
them to their neighbors and asking
them to pass it on. Every train tina
leaves Muskogee is loaded with In
dams who know personally of an or
der. They pass the word along and l
spreads like wildfire. In the earl,
days the Greeks had regular courier
who carried the news. One OF thes
would visit town and at shutdown tn
J people would gather around him an
hear the information he had to in
> part. The town king would then az
]. tail some one to pass it on to tn
members of the next town or tribe an
the same method would be repeated

A JUDGES WIFE PAN Ys5 Y IN M ,,,<
Quickly Cured by a Short
Course of Pe-ru-na.

NJ RS. MINNIE E. McALLISTER,
III wife of Judge McAllister, writes
from 1917 West 33rd street, Minneap-
oils, Mimi, as follows:
~ suffered for years with q pain Ia
the small of my back and right side. K

social duties and never supposed that
would be cured, as the doctors Medi-
cine did not seem to help me sry.
fortunately member of our Ordea
adviser me to try Peruna and gave it
such high praise that decided to try
it. Although l started in with little
faith, l felt so much better in q week
that felt encouraged.
81 took it faithfully for seven weekA
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that am entirely cured.
"W0rds fail TO express my gratitude.
Perfect health once more Is the best
thing I could wish for; and thanks to
Peruna, enjoy that now"
Pain in the back, or on the right side
How often a physician hears this
complaint!
Over and over we hear women say:
81 have paid in the small of my back.
1 have pain in my right side, just be-
low the ribs"
These symptoms lnolcaVe PcASAc OG
abdominal catarrh.
They indicate that the bowels are not
acting properly-that the liver is out
of order-that the pelvic organs arc
congested. :.
Pelvic catarrh-thati is the name for 1t.
Peruns cures pelvic catafrhs VIXEN
all Of these symptoms disappear.
The catarrh may be all in the abdonf
inal organs, when it would be properly
called abdominal catarrh.
| At any rate, it is one of those cases Of
! internal catarrh which can be reached
only by a course of treatment with
| Peruna.
We have on file thousands of testf
monials similar to the above. 1t is inn
possible here to give our readers more
than one or two specimens OF the num-
Der of grateful and commendatory let

The watonword 70 women.

Modesty is woman's watchword What
ever threatens her delicate sense of
modesty frightens her. For this reason
many woman permits diseases of the
delicate womanlY organs to become ag-
gravated because she cannot bring her
self to submit to the ordeal of unpleasant
questionings, offensive examinations, and
obnoxious local treatments, which some
physicians find necessary. Doubtless
thousands of the women who have taken
advantage of DR.. Pierce's offer of free
consultation by letter, have been led to do
SO by the escape thus offered from treat
ment repugnant to modesty. Any sick
woman may write to DIR. Pierce, Buffalo,
N. T., in perfect confidence; all letters
being treated as strictly private and
sacredly confidential, and all answers be-
ing sent in plain envelopes with no ad-
vertising or other printing upon them
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
been long hailed as "a God-send to
women" 1t makes weak women strong
and sick women well. "Favorite Pre-
scription' contains no alcohol, neither
opium, cocaine or other narcotic.

FOLDING Roosr AND PLATFORM

the building in the same manner as the
roost supports At the front they are
fastened to the uprights with the
swing joint fastenings described above.
Two V shaped troughs, each five feet
long, are placed on the floor against
the wall under the rear of the drop
pings board.
To the middle Of the roost farthest
from the wall is attached half inch
rope, which is passed through pulley
on the wall above and furnished with
a ring at its other end. BY grasping
this ring the roosts and platform are
pulled up and folded back against the
wall where they are out of the way,
and no birds can roost upon 1t in the
daytime. The ring may be slipped
over a hook screwed to the underside
of the platform to hold the fixture in
place.
The platform Is sprinkled each even
ing with sawdust and slaked lime, so
that when 1t is raised in the morning
the droppings slide of into the troughs
and are easily removed.
This fixture folded up leaves the en-
tire door free from incumbrance for q
scratching room. The cost of making
is not heavy and the labor Of cleaning
is somewhat reduced.

soff Fed For Hens.

Many breeders believe that soft food
that Is, crushed grains or paste-is
more easily and completely digested
by the birds and that It produces more
tender flesh, says American Agricul-
turist. In reviewing experiments In
this line Helen w. Atwater In a farm
ers' bulletin of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture says In ex-
periments made at the New York state
station chickens, laying hens and ca
pons all produced better results with
ground than with unground grain. Ac-
cording to a test at the Canada ex-
perimental farms, chickens fed a
ground grain ration were when dress
ed per cent heavier. were plumper,
slightly Follower and of better appear
ance than chickens fed a similar ration
Of ungnound grains. When cooked the
flesh of the birds fed the ground grain
was regarded as juicier. owing evident
~ to a marked, though not excessive,
disposition of fat in the tissues.

II 1t Proper to Say "GranEerf"
A New Hampshire correspondent
asks: us it proper to say grangers
Should we not say Patrons Of Hus-
bandryY'
1t is proper, replies the New England
Farmer, and, we think, in good taste
to refer to members of the grange as
"grangers." The Standard dictionary
gives as the meaning Of granger, a
member of the farmers grange, or
branch Of the Order Of Patrons Of
Husbandry" Webster's International
defines the word granger "a member
of the grange" The grange is now rec
ognized by all people as one Of the
grandest social and educational orRani-
cations in the United States. The best
and most enlightened citizens are
proud of their membership in its ranks.
High public officials boast of their
grange affiliations. The word gran
ger" is short, distinctive and euphont-
GUS 1t is no reproach to any one in
city or country to be known as belong
Ing to the great organization whose
members are best distinguished by the
appellation "grangers" This being
true, why should any member object
to the word ''grangerY

Poultry Notes.

1t isn't bad idea by any means to
put a little pine tar in the drinking
vessels at this time Of the year. 1t
will help to ward OF disease and keep
the fowls healthy.
Provide plenty of dust In the poultry
house and runs for the winter.
Too much salt in the food produces
too great thirst, often resulting in
ruptured crop. Season same as for
your own eating.
The object in caponizing Is to i'm
prove the quality and increase the
quantity of the flesh in fowls and
hence receive better prices.
If the most prolific hens were retain
ed and the most worthless ones mar
keted, a great improvement would re-
suit. 1t is the keeping Of drones that
makes the expenses large and the re-
ceipts small.

A very opportune proclamation has
been sent out by State Master Hill of
Pennsylvania regarding the inspection
of subordinate oranges. He justly says
each grange should insist upon having
a visit paid it by the deputy for inspec-
ton. This service by qualified persons
has been found by actual experience to
be both profitable and necessary in
commercial enterprises, military organ
izations and In civil affairs. Deputies
are urged to visit and inspect each
grange within their jurisdictions at
least once during each year. The depu-
ty receives in Pennsylvania a dollar
from the state grange treasury for this
work for each inspection. He is to re-
port the working ability Of oranges
visited, should exemplify the unwritten
work and answer questions concerning
the Order and also give such helpful
suggestions as occur to him as most
beneficial to the special oranges Wis

A correspondent Of the National
Stockman hits the nail squarely on the
head by saying that a radical depart

that they are held for the purpose of
having good time" rather than for
discussing important business. He re-
marks that these state meetings should
