Analysis of HaiIstones.

The infrequency of their occurrence
and the difficulty Of keeping them for
examination, have stood in the way Of
any careful investigation of the char
acter of hailstones, but Prof. Boris
Weinberg Of Tomsk, Siberia, has just
perfected an apparatus which is ex-
pected to obviate these difficulties. He
will gather the hailstones as oppor-
tunity offers and preserve them by
plunging them In liquid of about the
same density contained in double
walled receptacle like superior ice
cream freezer, but packed" with a
mixture of ice and sulphate Of copper.
AS needed for study the stones can
be removed, sliced in extremely thin
sections and photographed by polar
izing microscope or autochromatic
plates, as is done with anatomical
preparations.

RASH ON FACE FOR 2 YEARS

Sioux Falls, S. D.-"My trouble of

kept getting worse until large scabs

NEVER TIRES
OF the Food That Restored Her to
Health.

Something was making me i'll and

tism.
Il had tried different kinds Of diet,

Finally, Mother suggested that |

A change for the better began at once.
To-day | am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've
gained 10 lbs in the last five weeks

Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
The favour of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. 1t is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreeable, healthful quality
that never grows tiresome.
One of the sources of rheumatism is
from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu-
larly, digestion is made strong, the
organs do their work of building up
good red blood cells and of carrying
away the excess of disease making
material from the system.

Of tribal property. 1t is expected that
this matter will be fought out at the
nXet session of congress and some
action taken whereby the closing up
of affairs of this particular tribe may
be fastened.
Another influence which must be
combatted. but which already is los
ing its power, is the coterie of attor-
neys who have for the past several
years maintained representatives in
Washington, in behalf of the freed
men who are fighting for enrolment
in the various tribes. 1t is known def
lnltely that there is strong senti-
ment both in congress and in the de-
partment of interior against reopening
of tribal rolls in the state. as this has
been likened unto "Pandora's box"
However, these attorneys have done
much to prevent various steps taken
looking toward the winding up of tri-
bal affairs for always they have been
able to obtain followers in influen-
tial circles, who, knowing l.ttle about
Indian affairs, are willing to accept
the views of the first to reach them.
Many a worthy measure has been
beaten in congress by misguided en-
thusiasts.
SANDERS Won't Avail.
For n time the activities of many
employees of the Indian service who
openly scattered broadcast slanderous
statements about the incompetency OF
the state in handling Indian matters,
were successful in stirring up SEN
timent against various reforms, par
ticularly the efforts to curtail the en-
penses of Indian administration. They
were fighting for their jobs. Officials
in Washington and members of con-
gress who heretofore have listened.
are now pretty well acquainted with
the purposes Of such tactics.
Representatives Carter, Ferris and
Davenport all have introduced bills
in congress in the past several months
which are designed to hasten the
winding up of Indian affairs in the
state and Senator Gore but recently
introduced three, looking to the same
end.
One of these would make the posi-
ton of commissioner to the Five Civ
ilized Tribes appointive by the presi-
dent and one would bring about an
expert accounting of expenditures of
Indian funds in recent years. Both
of these were tackled to the general
Indian appropriation bill as amend
ments and are practically sure to
pN'. The last one would force the
distribution of $21,OOO,OOO in Indian
funds now held by the United States
treasury among the various banks of
the state.
All members of the delegation in
congress are leaving no stones un-
turned to explain away the misunder-
standing in departmental and con-
gressional circles as to conditions in
Oklahoma, which in reality is about |
the biggest work that can be accom-
plished at the present time, for with |
misunderstanding gone, worthy |
measures will be given closer and |
more friendly hearing.

Summer Hints to
M0thers Who Care
Seasonable Advice on the Health Of
Children in Hot Weather.

1t is well that mothers be advised
not to oyer-feed the children during
the hot months. No one requires
as much food in summer as in win
ter Feed the children the lighter
and more easily digested foods. See
that the milk is cool and kept away
from flies. BE careful that the fruit
is ripe, and if the child begins to
scratch the skin, indicating too mucn
acid in the blood, deprive it of fruit
for several days.
1t is quite natural that under these
conditions there will be some digest
i've disturbance, such as constipation,
Indigestion or summer diarrhoea. 1t
may be accompanied by a cold or by
eruptions of the skin. The timely
remedy, and one which you can rely
on for results, is small dose of Dr.
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin on retiring,
and by morning the bowels will move
and the trouble will vanish. The ex-
ceptional tonic ingredients in this
remedy will tone the stomach and
ernich the blood, and the child will
feel its usual self again.

GRANT INJUNCTION
0USTED BOOKMEN
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING Or
DER TO BOARD OF EDUCATION
CREATES MORE MUD.

Oklahoma City, Okla, June 2S.-A
temporary INDUCTION restraining the
present state board of education from
adopting school textbooks to sup
plant those adopted by the board as
it existed in July, 1912, was granted
by District Judge John ]. Carney
Thursday afternoon, on the petition
of six book companies who secured
contracts in 1912.
Notices asking bids for new adopt
ion to be made July Is, are now be-
ing published. The present contracts
awarded in 1908 expire shortly be-
fore the next school year begins.
Judge Carney held that the book
company, petitioners had done every
thing demanded of them as their part
in making valid contracts in 1912,
and the fact that Governor Cruce
did not approve the publishers bonds
did not affect their property rights,
acquired by the favorable action of
the board of education. The court
commented on the fact that the gov
ernor had simply not acted. He
neither had approved nor disapproved
the book company bonds.
Judge Carney held that the mem
bers of the old board sought to be
dismissed by Governor Crhce when
they were on the point of making
an adoption, were not legally removed
and did not lose their offices until
the state senate in December, 1912,
refused to confirm their appoint
ments.
The court made the injunction ap.
ply only to the proposed adoptions
and awards of contracts and said the
advertisements for bids would be per-
mitted to continue. The case will go
