INDIANS CIVILIZED,

After the dissolution of the tribal
organizations of the Cherokees, Chick
asaws. Choctaws, Creeks, and Semi
noles, these Indians, to the number Of
10000, will be full-hedged American
citizens. Indian Territory will be part
Of the State Of oklahoma, when state
hood Is obtained, and gradually the
red ana the white citizens will merge
and become one. The following figures
relating TO the Indians, and published
by Leslie's Weekly, are of interest:
There are 10000 Indians IN the coun-
trv OF the 10000 who are outside
Of the Five Civilized Tribes of the In
dian Territory and outside OF the state
Of New York 10000 are attending
school. Civilized clothes are worn
wholly by 100 900 Of these 10000 In
dlans, and are worn partly by $4,000
more four-fifths OF these reside In
dwellng-houses of civilized style: TO-
900 talk English enough for ordinary
purposes, and most OF these can read
II; and 10000 are members Of churches
Practically all the members OF the Five
Tribes talk English, all wear civilized
clothes, all have good schools, and all
live in dwelling-houses. The same is
true Of the few thousand Indians In
New York
Since 1877, when the government be-
gan its work OF educating and preDar-
ing them for citizenship, the Indians
have made far more progress than the
whites ever did in any equal time. The

THE WHITE PLAGUE,

The movement to provide sanitarlums

nifty.
The same general fact has been
brought out through a recent elabor-
ate investigation made over consider
able proportion OF the area OF the
French republic. II was demonstrated
there that tuberculosis Is the direct
outcome Of economic conditions Of the
people; that It's prevalence is in In
verse ratio to the Income of the affected
classes, and that the most potent fac
tors in its production are the condl.
tons which seem TO be inseparabe
from modern industrial life. The man
ifesta,ions OF the disease were found to
be in direct relation with bad air bad
food, small wages, long hours, and pow
erty. In London Il was shown that
from 1000 to 5000 persons die annu-
ally from this disease, and 1t was es-
timated that about $4,000 are suffering
from il in some form.
In this country II has been proved
that there are lll,O00 deaths annually
from tuberculosis Seventy per cent Of
all cases It is claimed, can be cured
with the right kind Of treatment, IL
taken in time. Hence the Importance
