Cross Breed a Failure.

"The Mexican Indian is commonly a
full-blood. There are few of them in
the United States. You can ride across
Indian Territory, 225 miles, and be
lucky If you see full-blood Indian.
The government has encouraged white
men to marry squaw wives by giving
them the property benefits of such re-
lationship to the tribes; and as re-
suit the so-called Indians are half and
quarter bloods. The cross has been a
failure
The tribes that We're transported to
Indian Territory We're already we'll on
the way to civilization. The territory
was their ruin. There were newspapers
printed there in the Cherokee language
almost as soon as in Illinois, and long
before there We're newspapers printed
in English within the boundaries of
what is now Iowa. There We're schools
and churches and legislative govern
have developed and become a strong
and rich people IL they had been let
alone. But they We're not let alone.
Down at Shawnee, Okla, last October,
work was begun on a great school es-
Enlistment for a tribe of Indians, near
ly all of whom are now in Mexico.
Big Institution FOR Ninety Children.
"'Why was it done? If the entire
number that theoretically belong to
that group were there instead of in
Mexico, there might be ninety children
of school age to use these great build
ings that are being erected. But they
are not there. These buildings will
cost something like $15O,0OO. Around
them will be constructed regular VIII
lage of structures for the superintend-
ent and teachers. Nobody says Il word
about it: the white people roundabout
smile and keep still. They know there
are no Indians to use that big estab-
lishme1t, and they calculate that one
day it will provide a useful institution
for the new state"

interest in Washington this winter be-

The Coffee Debate.

erly educated physician, chemist and
food expert.
Please remember we never say ordi.
nary coffee hurts every one.
Some people use it regularly and
seem strong enough to Withstand it's
attacks, but there is misery and dis.
ease in store for the man or woman
who persists in it's use when nature
protests, by heart weakness, stomach
and bowel troubles, kidney disease,
weak eyes, or general nervous prostra-
ton. The remedy is obvious. The drug
fee, must be discontinued absolutely or
the disease will continue in spite OF
any medicine and will grow worse.
1t is easy to leave off the d-fashion-
ed coffee by adopting Postum Food
Coffee, for in it one finds pleasing hot
breakfast or dinner beverage that has
the deep seal brown color, changing to
rich golden brown when good cream
is added. When boiled long enough Us
minutes) the flavor is not that Of rank
Rio coffee, but very like the milder,
smooth and high grade Java, but en-
tirely lacking the drug effect Of ordi-
nary coffee.
Any one suffering from disorders set
up. by coffee drinking (and there is an
extensive Variety can absolutely de.
pend upon some measure of relief by
quitting coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee.
If the disease has not become too
strongly rooted, one can with good rea.
son expect it to disappear entirely in a
reasonable time after the active cause
of the trouble is removed and the cellu-
lar tissue has time to naturally rebuild
with the elements furnished by Postum
and good food.
It's only just plain old common sense.
Now, with the exact facts before the
reader, lie or she can decide the wise
course, looking to health and the power
to do things.
If you have any doubt as to the.
cause of any ache or all you may have.
remember the far reaching kilograms Of
hurt nervous system travel from heel
to head, and it may be we'll worth your
while to make the experiment of leav-
Ing of coffee entirely for ten days and
using Postum in Its place.
You will probably gather some good
solid facts, worth more than gold
mine, for health can make gold and
sickness lose it. Besides there's all the
fun, for it's like continuous internal
frolic to be perfectly well,

know both the American and the
Mexican Indians. The difference is
just this: that while this country has
ruined the Indian by making ward
of him, Mexico has turned him out to
hustle for himself, and he has made a
good citizen Of himself. The policy Of
the United States has been calculated
to degrade the Indian.
Curious Citizenship.
Today there are thousands of In
dian citizens in the territory; when
the new state Of Oklahoma is adj
mitted they will be entitled to vote for
congressman and president; yet if one
of these Indian citizens comes to
Washington on business With the gov
eminent he must first secure permis-
sion from the commissioner of Indian
affairs. and II he fails to do so the
commissioner and the secretary of the
interior will not give him audience
when lie gets here. What do you think
or that sort OF citizenship?
Left to himself and given chance
to be self-respecting citizen, the In
dian Of Mexico has developed. Made q
government ward. with the government
looking after his business, the United
States Indian has been ruined. Today
the Indians in the territory want to
leave the country and go to Mexico,
and they will be found doing it Just
as fast as they can after the tribal re-
lations are ended. Some of the tribes
are now divided between the territory
and Mexico, and in every case the
branch that is in this country is anX--
ious to get to Mexico. 1t is just be-
cause Mexico knows how to handle
them.

The published statements Of q num-
Der of coffee importers and roasters in
dictate "waspy" feeling toward us, for
daring to say that coffee is harmful to
a percentage of the people.
A frank public discussion of the sub
ject is quite agreeable to us and can
certainly do no harm; on the contrary,
when all the facts ON both sides of any
question are spread before the people
they can thereupon decide and act in
diligently.
Give the people plain facts and they
will take care of themselves
We demand facts in this coffee dis
cussion and propose to see that the
facts are brought clearly before the
people.
A number of coffee importers and
roasters have Joined movement to
boom coffee and stop the use of Postum
Food Coffee and in their newspaper
statements undertake to deceive by
false assertions.
Their first is that coffee is not harm
full.
We assert that one in every three cof-
fee users has some form of incipient or
chronic disease; realize for one moment
what n Terrible men0ca to n nation af
civilized people when one kind of bever-
age cripples the energies and health of
one-third the people who use it.
We make the assertion advisedly and
suggest that the reader secure his own
proof by personal inquiry among coffee
users.
Ask your coffee drinking friends II
they keep free from any sort Of aches
and ails. You will be startled ut the
percentage and will very naturally
seek to place the cause of disorder on
something aside from coffee, whether
food, inherited tendencies or something
else.
Go deeper in your search for facts.

plant, weak eyes, or approaching ner,

the person is one Of the weak ones and
says Il can't quit you will have dis
covered one of the slaves of the coffee
importer. Treat such kindly, for they
seem absolutely powerless to stop the
gradual but sure destruction of body
and health.
Nature has way Of destroying a
part of the people to make room for the
stronger. 1t is the old law of "the sur
vival of the tittest" at work, and the
victims are many.
We repeat the assertion that coffee
does harm many people, not all. but an
army large enough to appal the inves-
tigator and searcher for facts.
The next prevarication of the coffee
importers and roasters is their state
ment that Postum Food Coffee is made
of roasted peas, beans or corn, and
mixed with Il low grade of coffee and
that it contains no nourishment.
We have previously offered to wager
$1OO,OOO.O0 with them that their state
ments are absolutely false.
They have not accepted our wager
and they will not.
We will gladly make present Of
$25.0O0.O0 to amy rooster or Importer Of
old fashioned coffee who will accept
that wager.
Free inspection of our factories and
methods is made by thousands Of people
each month and the coffee importers
themselves are cordially invited. Both
Postum and Grapefruit are absolutely
pure and made exactly as stated.
The formula of Postum and the an
alysis made by one of the foremost
chemists of Boston has been printed on
every package for many years and is
absolutely accurate.
Now as to the food value of Postum.
1t contains the parts Of the wheat berry
which carry the elemental salts such as
lime, iron, potash, silica, ETC., ETC., used
by the life forces to rebuild the cellular
tissue, and this is particularly true of
the phosphate of potash, also found in
Grape-Nuts, which combines in the hui
man body with albumen and this COM
bination, together with water, rebuilds
the worn out gray matter in the deli
cate nerve centers all over the body,
and throughout the brain and solar
plexus.
Ordinary coffee stimulates in an nm
natural way, but with many people 1t
slowly and surely destroys and does not
rebuild this gray substance SO vitality
important to the well-being Of every
human being.
These are eternal facts, proven, well
authenticated and known to every prop

SUCH A DEAR CHUBBY"
From the Washington Star.

FROM tne w aSNlnStOn star.
Ihis Is 4 little story of resourccfulness,
young married man whose life Is such a
busy one that he occasionally feels 1t nee
essary to tell little bits of white lies.
A month or 50 ago he had to go to st.
Louis ON business trip. to be gone for
about two weeks His young wife hated
to have him go, Of course. for they've
only been married about a year. Not that
the length of time that couples have been
married really makes any difference In
such cases. but--however. this is not a
didactc discussion on the subject of con-
nublality. but Il concrete story. This man.
when he started OH business trips, always
pleased his pretty young wife immensely
by making q great show Of taking her
picture along with him. and while he was
away OF writing to her about how the
photograph soothed his lonesome hours,
and all that.
The last thing that he always did when
packing his bag was to grab that cabinet
photograph of his wife. the only one OF
It's kind in the house. that stood on the
dresser. and stuff 1t in his grip while she
looked on, pleased all over to observe him
In the act of doing such nice, thoughtful
ching.
1t is necessary to remember. by the way.
that the cabinet picture that he took away
with him OH these business trips was, as
stated, the only specimen of its kind in
the house. and that it always stood on his
"tfc's dresser while he was al home.
Well. when he started for St. Louis on
this last trip he was in such a dead rush
that IN packing up he quite forgot the
photograph of his wife. He had to make
the train i'll quick time, and ne overlooked
