HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
# is an Internal Disease and Requires
an Internal Remedy.

The cause Of Rheumatism and KIN
dred diseases is an excess OF uric aciu
N the blood. To cure this terrible
disease this acid must be expelled
and the system so regulated that no
more acid will be formed in excess
i've quantities. rheumatism IS an IN
ternal disease and requires an inter-
nal remedy. Rubbing with oils and
liniments will not cure, affords only
temporary relief at best, causes you
to delay proper treatment, ana a.
lows the malady to get tirmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the
pain, but they will no more cure the
Rheumatism than paint will change
the fibre of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a
perfect and complete cure, which IS
called "Rheumacide.' Tested IN
hundreds of cases, it has effected
the most marvellous cures; we be-
l:eve it will cure you. "Rheumacide
"gets at the joints from the inside, -
sweeps the poisons out of the system,
tones up the stomach, regulates the
liver and kidneys and makes you
well all over. Rheumacide STRIKES
the root Of the disease and removes

GROWING
SELF SUPPORTING
COMMISSIONER VALENTINE
BELIEVES IN RED MEN
Shows by Statistics That Redmen Of
Present Day Arc Becoming Adapted
to Civilization Thrust Upon Him and
Is Now Money Maker.

Washington.-The commissioner of
Indian affairs, r. G. Valentine. in his
annual report just made public, says
that the number of Indians who are
working and becoming self-support-
ing is increasing. AS examples he
cites the following:
The Blackfeet Indians in Montana,
who had never been considered good
| workers were employed on an irri-
cation project on the reservation, and
made an excellent showing. Many
Of the tools they were required to use
were entirely new to them, but they
gave surprising evidence of their
ability to adapt themselves to the new
conditions For the season 1909 the
number of men employed rose from
16 in July to Sc in October, and their
earnings were $17,455.17.
An unexpected development grow
ing out Of the desertion of their res
ervation in Utah by band of Utes
and their going to South Dakota was
that after they were left the tract of
land on which they were temporarily
located In South Dakota, they were
induced by Mr.. Dagnett to go to work
on the Burlington railroad in South
Dakota. Contrary to expectations
they proved to be very satisfactory Ia
borers. quiet. tractable and for some
time well satisfied with the work.
They earned a considerable sum of
money. and the training they receiv-
ed had very salutary effect.
The employment of Indians about
Rocky Ford. Colorado. continued dur
ing the year. A large part of these
were boys from the Indian schools of
the southwest. They were placed in
the homes of farmers. and given a
81 per month for work in the beet
fields. They gave so good an account
of themselves that many were re-em-
ployed at the end of the contract pc
riod at from s12 to s14 per month.
Many other Indians with their fam
lilies were also brought to Rocky Ford
as the employers prefer them to Mex
leans and pay them more money than
would be paid to Mexicans for the
rthiiit NL<tco vi WI n. Dut liB
ming season in the beet fields, last
spring, beginning on May 20, there
were 230 Indian beet thinners, repre-
senting the Apaches. Pueblos, Nava-
jos. Moquis, Zunnis. Pimas, Papagoes
and Cheyennes, in addition to SO In
dian apprentice boys Over 40 In
dams were employed on the Jocko ir-
rigation project on the Flathead res
ervatlon during June.
A greater number of Indians is cul-
tivating land at the Fort Hall agency
in Idaho, than at any time before in
the history of the tribe. This is part
ly due TO the fact that nearly 500 In
dams. from the Lemhi reservation,
have settled among them and are
working hard to obtain their farms.
where they intend to make their
homes.
Most of the Indians on the Flat
head reservation are engaged in farm
ing and stock raising for a livelihood.
Many of them are fencing their al
lotments and putting substantial i'm
provements thereon. Some have nice
orchards Nearly all have several head
of both cattle and horses, and few
