INDIANS TORTURE WHITE
MAN As AN EVIL SPIRIT
Smithsonian Institute Collector I'm
prisoned While Frenzied Warriors
Dance: Escapes


San Bernardino.-With his face
and body badly cut and bruised by
Colorado river Indians, who thought
he was an evil spirit, Captain James
Bartlett, who for years has ira
yersed the desert collecting specimens
for the Smithsonian Institute, arrived
here.
When I appeared in their village"
said Captain Bartlett, "the Indians
were terror-stricken. They seized me
and threw me into a hut, about which
they placed a guard. Their warriors
worked themselves into a frenzy with
religious dance which 1 supposed
was expected to have an exercising
effect upon me
Il learned that they thought I was
the ghost of another Captain Bart
lett, rifle expert formerly connect
ed with powder company, who died
several months ago in Los Angeles 1t
seemed that white men had read in
the papers of the rifle experts death
and thinking it was I, had told the
Indians l was dead.
When night came the guard about
my hut relaxed its vigilance, the war
riors rested from their religious
dance and 1 managed to creep out of
my prison and escape. Reaching
white men whom knew, I told them
TO see the Indians and correct their
mistaken belief about my death, so
that if my work should take me again
into their district they would not mo-
lest me again"

HOW TO MAKE
BETTER COUGH SYRUP
THAN YOU CAN BUY
A Family Supply, Saving So
and Fully Guaranteed.

A full pint of cough syrup : as
much as you could buy for $3.50
can easily be made at home. You
will find nothing that takes hold of
an obstinate cough more quickly,
usually ending 1t inside of "a hours.
Excellent, too, for Group. whooping
cough, sore lungs, asthma, hoarse-
ness and other throat troubles.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar
with " pint of warm water, and
stir for minutes. Put 2h ounces
of Pinex (fifty cents WORTH in a
pint bottle, then add the Sugar
Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly. Take a
teaspoonful every one, two or three
hours.
This is just laxative enough -
help cure a cough. Also stimulates
the appetite, which is usually upset
by a cough. The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup
on the inflamed membranes is well
known. Pinex is the most valuable
white pine extract, rich in guaiacol
and ali the natural healing pine ele-
ments. Other preparations will not
work in this formula.
The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe
is now used by thousands of house,
wives throughout the United States
and Canada. The plan has been i'm
itated, but the old successful formu-
la has never been equaled.
A guaranty of absolute satisfac-
ton, or money promptly refunded,
goes with this recipe. Your drug
gist has Pinex, or will get 1t for
you. If not, send to The Pinex Co.,
Ft. Wayne, Ind.

'CASCARETS' MAKE
YOU FEEL GREAT
A 10 cent box will keep your liver
stomach and bowels clean
for months.

!. Sick headache, biliousness, diz-
illness, coated tongue, foul taste
and foul breath-always trace
them to torpid liver, delayed fer
menting food in the bowels or
sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in
the intestines, instead of being
cast out of the system is re-ab-
sorbed into the blood. When this
poison reaches the delicate bre IN
tissue 1t causes congestion and
that dull, throbbing, sickening
headache.
Salts, cathartic pills, oil and
purgative waters force a passage
way for a day or two-yes-but
they don't take the poisons out
and have no effect upon the liver
or stomach.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse
and regulate the stomach, remove
the sour, undigested and ferment-
ing food and foul gases, take the
excess bile from the liver and
carry out of the system all the
constipated waste matter and
poisons In the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning.
They work while you sleep--a 10
lent box from your druggist means
your head clear, stomach sweet
and your liver and bowels clean
and regular for months.

1t is impossible for actresses to
get as much exercise as it is
necessary during their long and
arduous seasons; consequently, /
have formed little course of
physical exercises especially for
myself, and they are SO adequate
to my needs that have told them
to many of my friends and now
| am going to tell them to you.
The only principle involved is
STRETCHING. Did you ever
notice cat dig its claw into the
carpet and stretch after 1t has
been sleeping? 1t is waking itself
up-making it's muscles under
stand there is something doing"
The first thing when you wake
up in the morning, stretch your
lungs by taking long, deep
breaths. i am going on the as
sumption that you sleep with
your windows wide open. Then
stretch your entire body by
throwing your arms up over your
head and seeing how far you can
push your feet down toward the
footboard. Do not do this hast
lily; work slowly until you can
feel the blood Jingle to your toes.
Then jumping out of bed, go to
the window and draw three or
four deep breaths, filling your
lungs until they seem ready to
burst. Hold the air while you
count four, and then let it out
slowly through the nose. Now
of you, bending back and yawn-
ing with your whole might. After
you have done this two or three
times, you may be sure that you
have dislodged any lazy microbe
that may be lurking about in
your system. Then go over to a
doorway and standing with your
back to 1t, rise on your tip toes;
throw your arms up and see how
near you can come to reaching
the top of the door. Don't be
afraid, this will not hurt you, as
you are not trying to lift any
heavy weights.
When you go to put on your
stockings, push your legs out in
front of you as far as possible.
Work your toes even farther, and
when you clasp your corsets draw
your abdomen up by taking long
breath until you have stretched
your bust way out of the corset.
If you find that you cannot do
this easily and sink back with
ease, your corsets are too tight.
Now you are ready for your
'set up" Rise on the balls of
your feet. Take a long breath.
Hold yourself in this position and
raise your arms over your sides,
and still holding your poise by
standing on the balls of your feet,
walk to your mirror and stretch
your mouth in smile!
