HARDY SERl INDIANS.

They Can outrun Horse and Go For
Days Without Food.
From an chronological standpoint one
of the strangest peoples in the western
hemisphere is that tribe known as the
Seri Indians. living in the western
part OF the state OF Sonora. Mexico,
along the shore of the gulf of Califor-
MIA and on the island OF Tiburon in
that gulf.
From time immemorial Seriland has
remained practically unexplored, part
ly because it lies behind a desert bar
rier and partly on account of the war
ike reputation of its fierce and blood
thirsty Inhabitants.
These Indians are of superb ply
sique, able to run down feet game
and to capture half wild Mexican
horses without rope or projectiles; able
to run across the desert, waterless and
foodless, so rapidly as to escape pur-
suing horsemen; able to abstain from
food and water for days; able habitual-
ly to pass barefoot through cactus
thickets and over Jagged rock slopes
without thought of discomfort.
They speak a distinct language and
strictly practice homogeneous mar
rage Their hatred for alien peoples
is hereditary The remains of ancient
ruins in Seriland indicate that the in
habitants have always kept their coun-
try free from foreign invasion and
that for centuries their customs and
arts. which are crude and simple, have

removes dandruff, stops scalp-irritation
and checks falling hair almost in

Miss G. c.: You will find nothing as
good to strengthen your weak eyes,
clear them Of redness and make them
brilliant and beautiful as this simple
eye tonic: Dissolve an ounce Of crys-
tos in a pint of water and put. q few
drops in each eye twice a day. Many
very successful oculists recommend
this fine tonic owing to its great merit.
There is nothing better for treating
graduated lids and it acts very quickly.
Mrs. E.: It is very simple matter
to remove every trace of hair from your
chin. Make paste with little pow
dered delatone and water. then spread
on hairy surface, and in two or three
minutes rub of, wash the skin and the
hairs will have vanished This is
painless and certain way in which to
OaulSn mar SIOWlQS.
Mrs. NJ: Do not cut the eye-tashes-
Instead, apply little pyroxin to lash
roots with thumb and forefnger and
they will grow in islky and long. Thin
eyebrows can be made to grow In thick
and long If you apply pyroxin each
night with the foreinger. Use cau-
ton and do not get any pyroxin where
hair Is not wanted.
Juanita: The cost of fat reduction
need not be high. If you will buy 4
ounces of parnotis and dissolve it in
Ia pints hot water, you have the best
and safest fat remedy known. Take
tablespoonful before meals and your
excess fat will soon be gone. No
dieting or violent exercises are neces-
sary and your skin will remain smooth
and unwrinkled. Parnotis Is abso-
lutely harmless and has worked Won
ders where other remedies failed.
A. l. NJ: I do not Hike to recon-
mend any of the prepared cold creams,
as most Of them are too greasy and are
likely to cause hair to grow on your
skin. Try this: Stir one ounce almo-
| zoin and two teaspoonfuls glycerine in
| II pint cold water. This will make an
excellent cream that will cleanse your
skin and keep it perfectly clear and
! free from chapping. It will leave your
complexion radiant, perfectly clear and
free from blackheads and wrinkles.
