ROMANCE OF PLAINS
Two Braids, Apache Chief, Finds
He Is Not an Indian.
After Forty Years with the Red Men
Thomas Springfield Applies to
the Government to Be Re-
stored to Citizenship.

Washington.-Two Braids, chief OF
tribe of Apache Indians. has made
application to the government to be
restored to citizenship. and this brings
to light strange story. for this In
dian chief is not an Indian at all.
For nearly forty years Two Braids
has been known as an Indian and has
supposed himself to be an Indian, but
he has Just learned of the fact that
he is really Thomas Stringfield, white
man, who was captured A years ago
by band of Apaches in raid In Nc
Mullen county, Tex. His father,
mother and elder brother were killed
in the raid. and his little sister was
left for dead. with several ugly wounds
from the Apaches' tomahawks. But
the little girl survived, was adopted
and reared by an uncle and is now liv-
ing not many miles from the scene
of the massacre. Her name is Mrs.
Ida Hatfield, and she and her brother
have been reunited.
Two Braids tells an interesting
story OF that part of his life which he
remembers. Reared in an Indian
camp, 1t was natural that he should
fall in love with a woman of his race,
and about thirteen years ago he mar
ried Bright Moon. daughter of another
Apache chief and niece of the no.
torious Geronimo. Two children were
born of this union, a daughter, Nucki

and has won fame for her horseman-
ship and rife shooting, and Starlight.

story of his life from an old warrior

tion in San Francisco and close tele-

The laborer Eats Food That Would
Wreck an Office Man.

Men who are actively engaged at
hard work can sometimes eat food
that would wreck man who is more
closely confined.
This is illustrated in the following
story:
Il was for 10 years clerk in store
working actively and drank coffee all
the time without much trouble until
after l entered the telegraph service.
There l got very little exercise and
drinking strong coffee, my nerves
were unsteady and my stomach got
weak and l was soon very sick man.
l quit meat and tobacco and in fact |
stopped eating everything which l
thought might affect me except coffee,
but still my condition grew worse, and
l was all but wreck.
Il finally quit coffee and com.
menced to use Postum few years
ago, and l am speaking the truth
when l say, my condition commenced
to improve Immediately and today l
am well and can eat anything I want
without any bad effects, all due to
shifting from coffee to Postum.
Il told my wife today / believed l
could digest brick if l had a cup of
postum to go with it.

All in Fight Against tuberculosis.


Prevention of tuberculosis versus
dividends is the proposition which
some of our largest insurance com
panies are now trying to establish.
The Metropolitan Life recently ap-
piled for permission to erect a sana-
torium for its policy holders and EN-
ployes afflicted with tuberculosis, but
the application was refused on grounds
of illegality by New York State Super
intendent of Insurance Hotchkiss. The
company is, however, conducting an
active educational campaign by dis
tributing 100000 pamphlets among
its policy holders. The Provident
Savings Life Assurance society has
also established health bureau,
where its policy holders may receive
free medical advice. Several fraternal
orders, notably the Modern Woodmen,
Knights of Pythias, Royal League,
Royal Arcanum and Workmen's Cir
Gle. have already established or are
contemplating the erection of sana-
toria for their tuberculous members.
