A. U. HILL
Was 1t Murder or Was 1t Suicide? II
Murder Who Is the Murderer?

The body of A. U. Hill. who ran a
country store eight miles west OF
Keachie, was found in his well Friday
morning The place of business of the
deceased was located in Caddo parish,
and the we'll in which the body was
found is across the Texas hne, few
yards away. An inquest was held by
! the coroner of Caddo and, it is under-
stood, that the decision of the coroner's
| Jury was that Mr. Hill had been m,ir-
dered and his body thrown into the
we'll. Many, however, believe that il
was case of suicide. Two years age
the deceased became involved in fight
with his brother over the division OF
some property, during which the latter
was killed. This, it is said, preyed on
his mind and he has been mentally TIN
balanced for some tlme.-Grand Cant
Beacon.
| If murder, who is the murderer
What was the motive for the murder
why take and carry the body and throw
1t into the well? If murder why has
there been no effort to apprehend. ths
murderer The theory of suicide is the
most reasonable and is supported by th'
circumstances in connection with tls
lease. Beyond a doubt the unfortunate
young man had been mentally unbal
anced for some time. ..-.--.

Northern girls. imported to take the

irons of the company may not hesitate
to give full scope of their sympathy
which would not be in favor of the COM

In the employ of the company are
twenty young ladies. two of whom have
expressed their willingness to resign and
the other young ladies have evinced a
desire to assist the company and pro-
mote its interest to the fullest of their
ability.
As we have already conceded, the
company should run their business, but
what is the offending of Miss Williams
and why should she be superseded, when
it is the unanimous wish of all the en-
ployes that she should be retained and
she has rendered good and efficient
service?
The patrons of the company will in
sist on service being rendered. The
company can offer no reasonable excuse
for not giving that service. If the com
pany can not operate without friction
with it's employees, who have always been
dutiful, and in full harmony, until re-
Gently, then the company should sus-
pend business.
The company should bear in mind that
people do not patronize the telephone as
a luxury but as a necessity, and that
three-fourths of its patrons are also
patrons of the opposition company, and
that if the question of right and wrong,
fairness and justice be involved i'll this
contention the patrons will not hesitate

Concentrated Wisdom.

The following address was deliv-
cred by a young Indian student on
his graduation from the agency
school. Not many white pupils could
have condensed the truths enumer-
ated into such small space:
My friends, I do not propose to
excite hostilities by advancing the
proposition that we stand on the
threshold of life. leave that to the
pale-faced graduate of more athletic
curriculum. I came from a town of
300 souls and eighteen real estate
agents. On my return my kinsmen
will stroll out of the tepee to greet
their brother and ask him where he
got that hat, while the dusky daugh-
ter of Bay-Horse-With-the Chambers
will don her pink waist.
All that the red man is today he
owes to the pale-face. We have been
so benevolently assimilated that one
measly government agent can round
up and herd a whole Indian reserva-
ton. The pale-face lobster gives us
a bottle of whisky-with a string tied
to it, And the string reaches to the
federal court room, where we lie
around for a couple of weeks while
the witnesses are cashing in their pay
vouchers. Then we walk home in a
snowstorm.
The sun of the red man is setting
in the west Soon will his copper
colored tribes be assimilated by the
copper trust and he will be extinct
You may put him into a bicycle suit
and tan shoes, but he will continue
to yearn for planked muskrat and ia
maica ginger. His days are number

) ORGANIZE TO FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS S
Committee OF Congress Plans Thorough Edu
cato


Early In October there was held in
St. Louis, at the Hall of Congresses,
In connection with the Worlds Fair,
the American International Congress
Of tuberculosis, which consisted of
representatives gathered from all
parts of the American continent, to
discuss the best means of preventing
and curing this dreadful disease. Spe-
cial attention was given to the subject
Of prevention. The congress was in
session three days. Many important
questions were discussed and commit
ices were appointed for the purpose
Of carrying forward an active CAM
paign against this most terrible of all
the foes of human life. The commit
tee of publicity was charged with the
duty Of organizing a proper educa-
tional campaign III connection with
Chautauquas, conventions, associa-
tons and frateTnites of various sorts,
for the purpose of placing in the
hands of the public information re-
lating to the best means of preventing
and combating this scourge. Those
who are especially interested in this
phase of the question should address
for further information the American

Wanted-An Appetite.

Don't be without one. Why go to
the dining room under protest. Don't
try to buy appetite at a dollar a bot
tie. Earn it. One should enjoy eating
and he will, if he has natural apps
tite, such as comes to one who works
for it.
The outdoor life creates appetite,
and a cold morning bath awakens the
brain, lungs, heart, liver, stomach and
the appetite. An ice bag over the
stomach for half an hour before meals
is good natural appetizer for bed
ridden invalid.
Another method Is a hot application
over the abdomen for five minutes, fol.
lowed by an ice rub over the same
parts for one or two minutes. This
not only produces an appetite but
stimulates the flow of the digestive
juices and thus furnishes the ability
TO digest.

her, but instead "madrina," or god
mother. Neither does she have a

Before leaving they pay formal visit

Diet for Tuberculosis.

The tubercular patient needs pro-
teids, or tissue-building foods, but only
just the amount which can be assimi.
lated and utilized by the body. Any
excess must be treated like poisons,
and hence must be burden to both
liver and kidneys, and a waste of vital
energy.
Proteids must be taken, not only III
moderate quantity, but in the purest
form possible. The vegetable kingdom
presents proteids in combination with
fats in great abundance, and in nuts,
which can be made easily digestible
by thorough chewing or by proper
preparation.
The yolks of eggs afford also a com
bination of fats and proteids which Is
admirably suited to the tubercular pa
tient. Milk, especially rich milk, IL

and filberts, pinons, or pine nuts are
the best varieties. Half a pound OF
nuts may be taken daily by the con
