WASHINGTON.-Uncle Sam, money
w grubber, who seems to have lost
all his sentiment, has spoiled the pref
ty romance of the adoption of Robert
D. Heinl and his bride into the Black

Mr.. Heinl, who is a Washington cor

Miss Helen Corbin, were admitted to
the tribe at picturesque ceremony
in Glacier National Park, Mont, short
ly before their marriage. Chief Three
Bears acted for the tribe and bestow-

The redskins made their new pale

through his sympathy and affection
for the vanishing race of Americans,
Of which he has made an exhaustive
study.

at this period Corsets and high heel

vexing problems of this period is the
corset. Every girl wants to wear one.
Nature has provided every girl
with corset of bony framework, COW
cred with muscles and liCaments for
the thorax and pelyis and several lay
ers of muscles for the abdomen and
back. Tight lacing at this period de-
forms the bony framework. The
curved front corset-the one that
gives the wasplike waist-causes flu

them at this period
Next to the corset must be placed

it does girls. They should wear low,
square heeled shoes with wide toes"

HAVE RABIES STAMPED OUT
Persistent Work In Great Britain Has
Had Results That Are Most
Gratifying.

At the present time rabies does not
exist in Great Britain. The last sus-
pected cases Of rabies occurred there
in 1908, but diagnosis showed that the
suspicion was unfounded This British
immunity has been obtained only by
the taking of great pains. Consul
General Griff1ths of London has con-
tributed interesting information on
this subject to the Daily Consular and
Trade Reports. The principal way in
which rabies has been exterminated
has been by the issuance of muzzling
orders, which are very strictly en-
forced. In London and other populous
cities, and throughout the large manu-
featuring districts, the muzzling of all
dogs remains in force for twelve
months or longer; in other districts,
six months or longer, according to the
circumstances in each case. The own
er of every dog six months old Is re-
quired to obtain an annual license.

this fact, whenever an outbreak occurs
the area brought under the jurisdic-
ton of muzzling and confirming order
is very large. To prevent, If possible,
the spread of the disease the provi-
sions of the act are applied at once to
the entire territory.
Whenever an actual or suspected
case of rabies is reported. an order is
issued requiring every dog within the
district and the surrounding area
where the outbreak occurred to be
kept under control by confinement in
a kennel or other Enclosure from which
the dogs cannot escape; or securing
it by a collar or. chain; or efficient
muzzling with AM effective wire cage

tons in this manner.
The acting chief of the Indian Blu
reau says the adoption Is not legal
because the Indian bureau will not
confirm it when it comes before them
officially. Therefore, Mr.. Heinl and
his bride will be cut out of their share
of the Blackfeet allotment of lands
and money which their red-skinned
brothers were anxious they should
have.

I'VE will disapprove of this adop
ton matter when it is brought to our
notice for verificatton. The Indians
themselves, l feel sure, must have
looked on it simply as joke They
were admitted to the tribe by an In

one, which requires tribal council

In an address on THE Natural

ternational Peace Congress at Geneva,
Switzerland, Mrs. Elmer Black, chair
man of the propaganda committee of

little noise, but with irresistible
power.
Using conditions in America as an
example, she said in part:
There are certain great natural
forces working in America toward the
final contamination of world peace.

Past Event Cause Of Bad Dream.
Another patient of DR.. Waterman.
a girl OF twenty-one, had been trou-

tacks Of severe pain In the right side.
AS In the previous case no organic
cause for the pain could be found and
1t was similarly traced to the baneful
effect of a peculiar dream-a dream Of
moving a piano which rapidly grew
heavier while she raised it from the
floor, until it caused a severe pain
extending from her right arm through
her right side into the leg. All at
once the piano fell with crash, and
the dreamer. awoke to experience a
distinct sensation Of pain in her right
side.
Investigation brought to light the
fact that some time earlier a piano
had actually figured prominently in
an episode most disturbing to the pa
tent. This explained the symptom
