1t should be remembered that none of the prod
ucts raised at Shiprock under the supervision of
the superintendent and employees were permitted
to participate for prizes. but every prize went to
reservation Navajos for products purely their
own. The vegetables and other agricultural prod
ucts of the agency are. however. worthy of spe-

themselves and included besides the ordinary
products of the section. many of the vege-

since coming into contact with the influence of
the institution which he has founded. Neither
could they have been induced to have brought
together their most valuable and cherished per-
sonal effects for public inspection but for the
fdence which this agency has awakened within
them.
We have therefore the first beneficial
effects of education and proper example upon this
neglected people. The changes which have been
wrought upon those coming in contact with this
institution have been rapid and sweeping that
1t challenges credulity. The difference between
them and the Navajos on some other parts of the
reservation is SO marked that they would not be
taken for the same people and it is these differ
ences that commend the policies and practices
initiated by Mr.. Shelton at this institution and
places it in favorable contrast with other govern
ment and private Indian schools.

He usually thinks only of the big

Boy Tortured by eczema.

f
when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would i~rritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started In a small place on the lower
eXtremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part Of his leg to the knee.

cura Ointment and Cuticura pills and
