AID Is SOUGHT FOR INDIANS
Catawbas of South Carolina Have Al
ways Been Friendly to the
Whites.

In South Carolina is the earliest
civilized tribe of Indians in the United
States, and they are not the wards of
the government. These are the Ca
tawbas, and they number approximate
ly 100
State Senator w. H. Stewart, of
South Carolina, is in Washington to
confer with the congressional delega-
ton of that state with the view Of
having these Indians placed on the
same basis as all other red men, and
1t is probable that bill will shortly
be introduced to this end
''It is strange, perhaps, that the Ca
tawba Indians, who have been wards
of the state of South Carolina for
many years should never have receiv-
ed any recognition from the national
government" said Senator Stewart,
"but it is a fact, nevertheless. The
Catawbas are the only American In
dams, so far as my knowledge goes,
that have always been friends of the
white man. They never took the blood
of white man, and during all the
early struggles of the whites against
the Indians the Catawbas remained
true. They were in what is now South
Carolina when the first whites reach
ed that territory, and they have re-
manned there.
'For long time the Cherokees &C.
cupied the same territory and there
was continual strife between the two
tribes, for the Cherokees were among
the most bloodthirsty tribes on this
continent. In all the struggles the Ca
tawbas took sides with, the settlers
against the Cherokees. The latter In
dams massacred many of the settlers
in South Carolina.
The state government, after having
taken care of these Indians for so
many years, now is seeking to have
the national government make pro-
vision for them, so that they can, in
common with other Indians, have
lands lands allotted to them and be-
come American citizens, which is on
ly just and fair. Washington Post.

SURGEON in Ancient Times.

High honorariums were paid sur

his foot Damocedes was called in

was successful, and the king took him
to his harem and introduced the doc

The eunuch let fall the vase, and the

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
For a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi.
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own expe.
rience:
Il had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe it was injuring
me although I had palpitation of the
heart every day. (Tea contains caf-
feine-the same drug found in coffee
and is just as harmful as coffee.)
FINALLY one day g. severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time | have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when | tried a small
quantity of coffee, which caused severe
irritation and proved to me must let
1t alone.
when we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to directions
but now we put little bit Of but
ter in the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boil full Is minutes
which gives it the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color
II have advised great many OF
my friends and patients to leave of
coffee and drink Postum, In fact daily
give this advice" Name given by

Many thousands Of physicians use
Postum in place Of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe it tc
patients.

Since the railroads adopted the tor

 qation of Countrys Finances

WASHINGTON, D. c, Dec. s.
 After months spent in gathering data
 and compiling statistics. the house
 committee on banking and currency,
 through it's chairman, Representa-
 tive Pujo of Louisiana, announces its
 readiness to resume on Monday the
 taking of testimony in the exhaust i've investigation it has undertaken with q view to discovering whether small group of rich men has con- trolling grip on the finances of the country.
 Under the direction of Representa- tive Pujo and Samuel Untermyer of New York. special counsel for the i committee experts have prepared an elaborate compilation of statistics i embracing practically every financial and industrial institution in the l country, and tracing the relation of ! each individual concern to otehr con cerns. This compilation will be used as q basis for the examination of wit l ncsses with a view to determining | the exact influence eXerted by New 1 York banks and bankers on other banks and bankers throughout the 1 United States.
 l some Ot the hearings are to De | conducted in New York and others | in this city. It is understood that | J Pierpont Morgan. John D. Rocke- ! feller. William Rockefeller, Cleveland
 H. Dodge and George R. Perkins, will i be among the prominent financiers
 summoned to give testimony.
 l The committee will endeavor first i to clear up that branch of the in

CTS conferred by congress it will be i unable to complete the inquiry into 1 the concentration of money and cred f it's.
