Generations of rulership have
stamped the Hopi women as the SUI
perior sex. They are beautiful as
maidens. good looking as women and
often retain their rounded faces and
fine hair until old age comes on.
Compared to them the men are
stunted. The women are of more than
average good figure, muscular and
healthy looking. The men grow wiz
ened early and go about their task as
though they didn't get much out of
life. OF smaller stature. they are
often very hardy. and as messengers
are capable of going tremendous dis
tances without apparent fatigue.

while the women are alert and ener-
getic, and in disposing of their bas-
kerry and pottery. made by them
selves, they are much the better bar
gamers.
The men are slow of speech and in
clined to be silent. The women are
talkative, and a house building stunt
is accompanied by more conversation
than half a dozen sewing circles
among the palefaces.
The harder tasks are cheerfully
shouldered by the capable women, and
while they are busy at them the men
are condemned to weave the clothing
of their wives and knit the stockings
for the whole household. Only in the
preparation of food is the domesticity
of the women displayed.
The little there is of government is
in, the hands of the men, who also
form the priesthood. The Hopi is a
ysfy religious gentleman. About half
of each month is taken up in religious
ceremonials of one kind or another.
Most fnmed Of these ceremonies is the
snake dance.
The men wear their hair long, with
band about the forehead. Their
shirts are of calico, their trousers of
white muslin slit on the side from the
knee down. They wear rawhide moe
casinss and soleless socks. The more
fastidious assume loud velvet shirts.

The women wear dress made like

IDEAL SUFFRAG|sTs
Women of Hopi Indian Tribe Run
Things as They Please.
Aseendency Of Females Was Secured
Centuries Ago as Result Of Their
Strike Against Being Treated
as Beasts of Burden.

Flagstaff, Ariz.-Down here in the
Great Painted desert man beleaguered
by the suffragist hosts may find fully
illustrated the fate that will be his
when the woman's rights movement
reaches its fullest fruition. Long be-
fore the beskirted women of the east
even thought about demanding the
ballot their blanketed sisters in the
Hopi Indian nation had fought out the
matter and won.
The Hopis are better known to fame
as the Mokis or Moquis. but the latter
appellation was bestowed upon them
in derision by their warlike Navijo
and Apache enemies. Hopi means
people of peace" Moqui means
dead men,"
Hopi women do not vote. but 1t is
only because they do not want to.
They do about everything else that is
masculine and do 1t because they like
it.
Hopi houses are built by the wom-
en-. The houses are theirs, and their
children take their mothers name, not
the fathers. When a Hopi maiden
makes up her mind to marry she does
not trouble herself about asking the
consent of the man upon whom her
eye has alighted with favor. She
asks his mother.
The husband does not prepare a
home for his bride. She takes him
into hers. The produce which he
raises is hers whenever it is stored in
her house. and no Hopi man ever has
property in his own name.
Tradition hoo that tho aucapdapcy
of these Hopi women was secured CEN

CANCER is ON THE INCREASE.
Theory That Dire adfui Disease May Be
Caused by Excessive Eating
Of Meat.

One of the latest theories pro-
pounded in regard to the rapid and
most alarming increase in the deaths
from cancer is that it may be caused
b. excessive meat eating and by eat
ing bad meat.
Statistics show in the annual re.
port to the state health department
that the average death rate from can
Ger has increased in the last 10 years
little over % per cent.
The Chicago board of health some
time ago discovered that the percent
age of deaths among immigrants from
cancer was far in excess of the death
rate from the same disease In the
countries they had left. The physician
who undertook to investigate and dis
cover the causes for this found the
mortality records showed that deaths
from cancer among immigrants from
Oriental countries and native Ameri-
cans were much less in proportion to
numbers than among Germans and I'M
migrants from Southeastern Europe.
On studying their diet he found the
Orientals did not eat meat and the
Americans comparatively little. while
the people Of other nationalities ate
flesh in large quantities.
Another theory is that cancer comes
largely from indigestion and conse-
quent poisoning OF the system through
lack of proper mastication Of ones
food. and also through overeating, SO
that where people eat largely of meat
and are in the habit of "bolting" their
food cancer is more than likely to in.
crease.
To eat slowly does not necessarily
imply masticating properly. for One
can dilly-dally and not chew. In any
event, the careful chewing of food is
absolutely -ccessary to good health.
Slow chewing prevents over feeding
and the consequent choking up of the
system and results in a clearer brain
and more active and beautiful body.
Every one knows that too much
fuel chokes an engine, and so in like
fashion too much food chokes the
body.
At its best. cancer is a frightful dis
ease. painful and disgusting, and
every care should be taken by all to
avoid it. If prevention can do It,
every one should Join in the crusade
and by right diet and proper eating
ward of one of the greatest curses of
humanity.
