Members Of the Civil Service Council.
an organization of Government en-
ployes, today expressed the opinion
that cooperative buying among en-
ployes will be extended as a result OF
the address made by Willett NJ Hayes,
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. at a
meeting of the council at the chemistry
building yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Hays designate cooperation In
buying necessities Of life as the safety
valve against the high cost Of living. He
said It had proved satisfactory in the
West, notably in Minnesota, and had also
been satisfactory here, where 1t Is
done to some extent by Government en-
ployes. He urged employees to live In
suburban communities and purchase
foods and clothing by groups direct
from producers.

ell, indorsed Mr.. Hays suggestions

stimulant and tonic that influences
for good every important organ Of
the body and brings restful sleep.

little glands Of the stomach to a
healthy action, causing a sufficient
flow of the gastric juice to digest
the food, and it promotes perfect
assimilation. It also excites the
flow of saliva for the digestion Of
starchy food, preventing fermenta-
ton In the stomach and bowels.

INDIANS CONCLUDE
TESTIMONY BEFORE
INTERIOR PROBERS
Mojave Apaches Quail When
Told Their Stories Would
Be Read by Agents.

Or. Carlos Montezuma. Chief Yuma
FRANK. George Dickens. Charles Dick
ems, and Thomas Surrama, .Mojave
Apaches, are today speeding back to
their people.
While here they gave startling testi-
mony before the Committee on Expen-
plrures In the Interior Department re-
garding the efforts of the Indian Office
10 move them from their fertile lands
on the Verdi river. at Camp Mcdowell,
10 the Salt river, beyond the Roosevelt
dam.
The case Of the Apaches is one of a
dozen which the committee will take
up In Its investigation Of the Indian
Tureau of the Interior Department The
result OF the investigation is in doubt
as yet, as the committee has not delved
tar enough to reach any formal con-
clusion. 1t is probable, however, a stiff
night will be made against the moving
OF the Motave Apaches. These Indians
nave had for the past eight years Is, 900
fertile acres on the Verdi river. They
nave this land in fine state Of fertility
and productiveness.
Ordered to Move.
A wear ago. the Indian Office essayed
to move them to $40 acres on the Salt
river. The Indians declined to move.
Testimony before the committee tended
10 show that the Indians in their pres
ent location were practically self-sup-
porting, and more than all they werc
satisfied and happy. Several of the In
dians testified that when the Govern
ment abandoned the dam which waters
their farm land the Indians built and
maintained dam themselves. Still the
Indian agents were not satisfied. II
the testimony of the Indians is to be
them bodily of their lands. II the In
dians were moved to the Salt river
country. they would again become pub
lie charges. and an appropriation would
location. The mystery of the whole
question seems to center on the dis
covery Of lust who would benefit by the
change. and who would get the Indians
present fertile lands.
They Were Afraid.
To show the feeling OF the Indian to-
ward the agents. who govern their af-
fairs, the Apaches, not only descend
ants Of warriors. but warriors them
selves, Quailed and quaked before the
committee when they were told their
testimony would be published for the
agents to see.
1eSleTudyt NHeU the LHOldnS ndO COM
pleted their testimony before the COM
Snittee, they received their allowances
as witnesses. Though some Of them
could scarcely talk English, they were
experts at mathematics. They knew to
q cent how much was coming and how
much their expenses were. The bill
amounted to a total Of something like
S1,20O.
The Indians, with DR.. Montezuma, who
is one of the finest stomach specialists
in Chicago. left at II o'clock last night
for their homes, much pleased with
their visit 10 the Capital.
