THE MEASLES CANNlBAL.
Method Of a Vancouver Island Tribs
TO Drive Away Disease.

Method Of a Vancouver Island Tribs
to Drive Away Disease.
A few years ago an epidemic OF
measles broke out among the Indian
tribes living on Vancouver island, in
British Columbia, not far from Fort
Rupert, and the shamans or medicine
men came TO the conclusion that a can
nibal sorcerer. whom they termed the
'hamatsu" measles cannibaD, was
Staying their children to eat them and
that he would continue to do so until
he was killed.
AS they could not STAY a ghost In his
own person they arranged ceremony
In which one Of their number posed as
the cannibal and was treated as they
would have liked to treat the real foe.
This fact Of a substitute was, of
course. not made public, only the med
icine men knowing the truth Of the
matter.
Against wall Of rock was painted
an imitation opening, in the center Of
which the "cannibal" was fastened.
At the proper time, after going
through various ineantations. a cover
ing was jerked away, exposing the
cannibal apparently springing through
the solid rock. He was promptly grasp
ed by two Of the priests, who dragged
him out and rushed him through q fire
which was burning In front Of the
place and which was surrounded by
all the members Of the tribe beating
drums and singing at the top Of their
voices. By some jugglery the canni-
bal was got rid Of. and the people were
told that he had flown away through
the air and would not come back.
After this ceremony had been re-
peated several times to put an end to
other epidemics, which were only too
prevalent among the Indians, It grew
into sort of annual affair, managed
by the members Of a secret society
whose members know that the sup
posed "hamatsu" was only a man.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Webster People Should Learn

Kidney Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
so unmistakat,e that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys excrete

sediment, irregular OF passage OF

The back aches constantly, headaches
and dizzy spells may occur and the vic
tim is often weighed down by feeling
of langour and fatigue. Neglect these
warnings and there is danger of dropsy

OF these symptoms is warning enough
to begin treating the kidneys at once
Delay often proves fatal.
