HOW TO KEEP WELL.
Sleep in Room Cooler Than Living
Apartments Daily and Dash Cold
Water on Chest and Throat.

You dread the cold room on rising?
1t need not be bitterly or dangerously
cold, please remember.
A well ventilated house does not
necessarily mean cold house, and
pure air does not have to be iced air
Extremes are very apt to be danger
Gus, and, while the lungs demand
fresh air, that they may do their
work well, too low a temperature is
not wise. But the sleeping room
room you are apt to have to spend
most of your working and waking
hours in.
You will feel better for having
slept in a cool room, and If on rising
you think it too cool just try those
lively breathing and stretching ex-
ercises l suggested last week-adding
a few arm swinging exercises.
Then sponge your chest, face and
throat off with cold water, rub brisk
ly till dry and rosy-fill the lungs a
dozen times, and dress as quickly as
possible; you'll find you feel so fresh
and well that you will never again
risk the discomforts and lack of rest
attending a close sleeping room.
But if you hope to effect a cure
permanent, not temporary, we must
take care that natures laws of
health are obeyed.-Chicago Inter-

PAYMENT TO DELAWARES.
Each Member of Tribe to Receive
$1O2.5O from the Gov
eminent

Muskegee.-One hundred and twelve
thousand dollars has been placed at the
disposal OF Indian Agent Kelley, and
the Delaware per capita payment be-
gan yesterday at Bartlesville. This
payment was ordered more than a
year ago, and is a settlement in full of
all claims of the Delaware tribe of In
dians against the government.
Each Delaware will get $102.50 The
payment was made at Bartlesville
April %; Nowata, April 81, and will
will be allowed to draw money for him
self, and for the minors legal guar
dams appointed by the courts will
draw the money.
Administrators will draw per capita
for Delawares, who have died since
October Is, 1904. There are LOO Del
awares who will share in the payment.
The claim of the Delawares dates
back nearly 40 years. 1t is principally
for lands in Kansas. for which the gov
eminent failed to settle. TIL claim was
for $625.000, but only $4,000 was al
lowed. Of this attorneys get $4,000,
the chief beneficiaries being Walter s.
Logan of New York, Senator Marion
Butler, James X. Jones, former senator
from Kansas, and J. NJ Vale
According to their contract with the
Indians, had the attorneys secured the
full amount of the original claim,
they would have had a fee approaching
100000. The payment will be the
largest made to Indians since the
Cherokee strip payment in 1894

REFUSE FREAK IMMIGRANTS
Half Human Creatures Brought to
America for Exhibition Not Per-
mitted to Land.

New York.-Under the names of
Heinie and Fritz, two creatures that
seemed to be half-human and half-ape
arrived on the steamship Beidenfels a
few days ago, and were not permitted
to land by order of the government in
spectors because of their deformity.
Inspectors refused to allow them to be
taken ashore at Boston, and the own
er, the proprietor of circus, has ap-
pealed to the United States govern
ment.
The steamship took the creatures
aboard at Ceylon, along with animals
and members of troupe of circus.
Heinie and Fritz are four feet six
inches tall. Both are deaf and cannot
talk, and make peculiar granting
noise. They have tiny feet and hands.
Their heads are the size of cocoanuts
and are covered with the hair of an
ape from an inch above the forehead.
They cannot stand without supporting
themselves and have made the deck, at
the bow. their quarters, where they
curled up like rope basking in the sun.
Both smoke cigars and eat cake.

CHURCH cHASES SALOON.
Religious Edifice on Wheels Moves
About Town Wherever Most
Needed.

Philadelphia.-Ther is in Philadel-
phia lively little church which is in
dulging in a merry chase after saloons
of this city, much to the discomfort
of the men behind the bars.
This little religious edif1ce is on
wheels, and it has instigated one of the
liveliest campaigns against the selling
of liquor ever waged.
This little church always has been a
mission church, going hither and yon
wherever 1t seemed to be the most
needed, but it has only recently entered
so actively upon the temperance field.
Wherever the pastor of this perambu-
lating church and his assistant, Harry
A. Machey, learn that man is apply
ing for a license in new district they
wait until the application has ben filed
and then, picking up their little
church, walk to within few feet Of
the spot, plan their edifice and then
enter protest against the establishing
Of a saloon.
Fourteen tfmeS-and It has been
working only a few weeks-has this
church chased~a would-be saloonkeeper
out of business. 1t always has con-
gregation of more than SO souls, and
so can rightly term itself thorough
bred church, with all accessories &C.
corded to a stone edifice. The congre-
CATION almost gleefully follow their
vagrant church and they have grand
rally meetings after every successful
, fight against the establishment of sa-
loon.
1t will not be long before other mis-
sion churches on wheels will enter this
crusade against the selling of liquor.
and they will be able to put up one OF
the biggest fights ever waged against
the saloonkeeper They have the law
with them and the sheer humor of the
I, situation will render a would-be sa-
, loonkeeper helpless with the Judge.
TIL mission is a misunderstanding
wooden church with seating capacity
of $50. The pastor is man Of means
and number of Influential temper
ance advocates are backing him, SO
that the money is always forthcoming
, when he desires to lease lot for his
church, and he feels it no hardship if
the exigencies of the case make him
deem 1T wise to set the wheels Of his
church moving before a lease has ex-
pired. He always secures the land
for the very shortest possible time, sub
ject to renewal, and thus, while not
binding himself and his church I'M
necessarily, he lends an air of perma-
necy to the action, which justifies him
in telling the Judge that he does not
know how long he will remain.

LUNGS OF CATTLE
Government Begins Investigation OF
Tuberculosis Among Dairy
Cows.

Topeka, KAMA test of the health
of all Kansas cattle is to be made by
the government bureau of animal IN
dustry and the state live stock COM
missioner The specific purpose is 10
ascertain whether or not tuberculosis
exists among the animals. The tests
are to be kept secret as much as posi-
BILE because of the excitement which
the discovery OF the existence OF tuber-
culosis among dairy COWS would
cause in the community.
John B. Baker, state live stock COM
missioner, has received from the bu-
reau of animal industry his first sup
ply of "tuberculin,' government prep
aration, which will be used in the tests.
The government has also furnished
blanks on which the results OF the
tests can be recorded. The only pub
lie test of dairy animals will be OF the
Emporia cows. The county physicians
convention there recently discussed the
probability of tuberculosis existing
among the cattle of the county and
Mr.. Baker is furnishing the tuberculin
with which to make the tests. He says
he sees no need of secrecy in this case,
as the physicians have advertised the
fact that there are symptoms or the
disease among the cows from which
Emporia's milk supply comes. Enough
of the government preparation to test
100 cows was sent to Emporia and Dr.
Richards will make the test.
1--WE have already made one test,
said Mr. Baker, "but we're keeping the
fact secret. If l should name the COM
munity in which a test has been made
or is to be made 1t would excite the
people and cause great deal or
trouble. The tests will be conducted
by the county health officers. l am
now working to get into communica-
ton with them. They will be fur
nished free with all the tuberculin they
need to make the tests and we will
know In a few months whether the
dairy cows of the state are diseased
or healthy. l have received some COM
plants to the effect that there are
symptoms of tuberculosis among the
dairy cows throughout the state and
the danger is too great to allow such
a condition to exist when it costs moth
ing to learn the truth
In a letter received by Mr.. Baker
from E. B. Jones, chief of the bureau
of animal industry, the latter says that
the Kansas commissioner will be fur
nished with all the tuberculin he can
use.

RAISING GARDEN HERBS.
This Is a Practical Occupation Open
to a Woman Thrown on Her
Own Resources.

Among the practical occupations
open to women that are thrown upon
their own resources without previous
training in any sort OF business Is tha'
of raising garden herbs.
There has never been suftic1ency OF
seasoning herbs to be had at any mar
ket; parsley, thyme, sweet marJoraAi'
bay leaf, mint are always In demand
by those who know their value In the
proper cooking of savory dishes. Inelr
raising is neither difficult nor expen-
sive. A small piece Of ground Will sup
ply any large private market establish
ment or green grocer, and 1t Is WORK
that even a delicate woman can under
take.
But she must, first of all, Instruct
herself in the nature of the soil need
ed. the amount of sunshine, water and
general habits of the things she is
going to raise. To do this 1t is only
necessary for her to visit any good IL
brary and study books on the subject,
making notes and really learning, just
as If she were at school.
Then she must study how to get the
very best plants for her purpose; all
florists and agriculturists are glad 10
send catalogues for the asking. and'
while the gorgeous cuts exaggerate the
fecundity and appearance OF their
wares, such catalogues are help.
Once she knows the right soil to pre-
pare, the rest is easy. If she has no
10 RI
and define the various beds, she can
simply tie stout cords to sticks stuck
in the ground to keep one variety from
running over the other. The spading
she may have to hire done, and the
pulverizing of the soil, which is very
essential to success, most failures be-
ing due to the caking of imperfectly
prepared ground that either carries off
the water that is applied or allows 1t
to stand without penetrating the earth
to reach the roots OF thirsty plants.
Take the fragrant garden mint as
very fair example of an herb that is
we'll worth cultivating. | have seen
single root spread in a couple of years
over a 12-foot square of ground, and its
The woman who wills to do SO can
find a market for her mint the year
round, if she will care that it will not
freeze. Sweet marjOram grows fast
also, as do all these seasoning herbs,
and needs but little care when once
started. Curly parsley makes lovely
garnishing for dish of croquettes or
for any sort of brciled meats or fish,
and never can there be too much
grown.
If to these be added chives and len
ills, there are always purchasers for
these green's that make such delicious
spring salads But this business must
be properly attended to if there is to be
a livelihood in it; like everything
else in this world, it amounts to moth
ing without certain amount OF care
and trouble. If there is sudden biz
zard the plants must be protected; ii
the midsummer sun is too hot, some
sort OF shade must be evolved, and sc

TROUBLE OVER TOWN LOTS
Legislation Will Be Needed to Right
Matters in Indian Territory
Town Sites.

Muskogee, l. There are lis
towns in Indian territory in which
the government has not yet COM
pleted the sale Of town lots. The first
towns that were appraised and the
lots sold under government supervi-
sion are now making final settlement
and every day the Indian agent sends
out hundreds of notices to the prin-
cipal chiefs that final payment has
been made on lots in the various
towns.
Some peculiar conditions have
arisen and without relief legislation
the government will never be able to
close the townsite business. In some
not worth the appraised value, and
they have never been sold, as the
government cannot accept less than
the appraised value. There will have
to be legislation allowing authority to
make disposition Of such property.
Again there are hundreds of in
stances where purchasers have made
payments in lots, but have not made
the final payment. The deeds cannot
be issued until the final payment is
made. These payments must not run
over 60 days past due, and ten per
cent. interest is charged, but there is
no way to enforce the payment of the
interest or the last payments either,
if the purchaser wants to let the prop
erty drop. In such cases the property
reverts to the tribe and there it
stands. They are found in every
one of the 300 government towns in
the territory. 1t is believed by the
townsite department of the Indian
agency that such relief will be pro-
vided in the Indian appropriation bill
this session of congress.
