nouncing that a lone Indian woman
had been wandering among the set
tiers and could not give an account
of herself. Hitchcock sent man and
a horse for her and week later she
was brought to camp. The soldier had
found her surrounded by frightened
white settlers, who in their alarm had
put a rope around her neck. All the
woman did in response to the threats
was to burst into tears and cry inces-
sanity. She was about thirty-five years
old.
When not spoken to she was quiet,
Colonel Hitchcock sent for skillful
interpreter, who tried all the southern
Indian dialects, but could get no re-
sponse. Colonel Hitchcock was In a
auandary, but one day he pointed to
the fire and asked her what 1t was.
She replied with word which the Of
ficer recalled was of the Chippewa
tongue. Colonel Hitchcock had been
long on duty among the northwestern
Indians and picked up many words.
He tells how the unfortunate woman's
face lighted up when she heard the
colonel use words she knew. Imme-
diately he concluded she had strayed
from the northwest. On being ordered
back to jefferson barracks Hitchcock
took the woman with his command
and putting her on trading boat sent
her a thousand miles up the Missouri
river, where she found her tribe.

SANITATION IN SCHOOLS
Physical Health and Strength Arc Es-
sentlal to Vigorous
Mind.

Keeping the skin In good condition
is SO important to the general health
that 1t should receive especial atten-
ton at school. The school lavatory as
we'll as the home bathroom, should be
furnished with Resinol Soap, because
1t removes the germ-laden dust OF
the playground and street atmosphere
better than anything else. 1t prevents
the advent of contagious skin trou-
bles and keeps the complexion fresh,
rosy and smooth as that Of youth
should be. No child should be ham,
pered or disfigured with skin erup-
tions when few applications of Resi-
mol Ointment will cure them. Eczema,
Acne, Rashes, Sores. Pimples and
blotches are quickly cured with this
easily applied remedy, and it should
be kept in every home SO that 1t can
be used at the first appearance of
skin troubles.
Students who shave will find the
Resinol Medicated Shaving Stick the
best. 1t is highly recommended by
physicians and skin specialists TO keep
the face free from pimples and erup-
tions. Its soothing, healing lather
counteracts any irritation or tender
ness from shaving too close. Resinol
Soap and Ointment can be obtained
wherever the best toilet articles are
sold.

DIARY OF GEN. HITCHCOCK
Way of Winning Confidence of lndi-
ans-How Wandering Woman
Was Restored to Tribe.

Giving to the white man the dubious
honor of teaching the Indians the hor-
rible practise Of scalping, the editor
of the diary Of Maj. Gen Ethan Allen
Hitchcock, United States army, takes
the reader over the early history OF
the ancestors of the subject of the vol
ume. says the Army and Navy Jour-
nal. In the years Just preceding the
Revolution we are told, here, "the
tomahawk never got rusty in the will
derness and the governor of New
Hampshire never ceased to pay
bounty for the scalps of Indians and
Frenchmen
Indeed, so natural and legitimate
was this singular industry rewarded
that an amendment was added to the
bill offering premium for the heads
of wolves and panthers, so as to in
clude the 'enemy's scalps.' Scalping
seems to have been the invention OF
the white men, who taught the Indi-
ans to scalp, that they might keep
tally of their dead, and thus be enti-
tied to their bounty" In Buckles
History of Civilization" volume /,
can be found this: Among the ex-
penses of the war that the government
laid before parliament one of the
items was for five gross of scalping
knives"
General Hitchcock, though unusual
| ly firm, was singularly winning and
gentle in his dealings with the Indians
and as one reads of the way he won
over the most obdurate Indians to
concord and amity one falls to specu,
lating what would have been the his
tory of our western frontier If he had
been sent to settle all disputes. Pa
tience was his predominating note
with the Indians. First he would gain
their confidence and then with this
same confidence and with the same
patience with which he would teach 9
wild animal he would wear down theil
animosity toward the government
One incident of his life among the
southern Indians shows how the hap

was never beyond his thought ant
care, and that he proved fully in hii
