THE INDIAN OF TODAY.

The story of the band of Ute Indian
who have taken to the mountains at
Cortez, Colo, determined not to de-
liver Big Rabbit to answer to a muir
der charge, sounds like a leaf fror
all old newspaper.
When the Indians were living on
the reservations in greasy idleness
the Indian problem seemed about to dis
appear by the extirpation of the In
dian. Had not the race had yirility
1t could NJ yer have withstood this de-
generating life. Now that the Indian
is forced to compete with the white
man, he holds his own numerically, an
makes respectable showing indus
trially. The corporations that employ
the Apaches say they are the best
labor attainable.
The up-to-date Indian is neither
the flaming creature in war paint and
feathers, nor the greasy beggar reach
ing dirty palm to the tourist.
He may be one of the 391 Pine
Ridge Indians who put up 67O0 tons
OF hay for their stock in a season, or
one of the 1000 Sioux who attended
the last Episcopal convocation at

A few years ago an Indians word

Old Age

Olo ago
Old age as it comes in the orderly
process of nature is a beautiful and
majestic thing. It stands for expert
ence, knowledge, wisdom, counsel.
That is old age as it should be, but
old age as it often is means poor d.
gestion, torpid bowels, sluggish liver
and a general feeling Of i'll health, de-
spondency and misery. This in almost
every instance is wholly unnecessary.

Liver Tablets taken Immediately after
supper will improve the digestion, tone
up the liver and regulate the bowels.
That feeling of dependency will give
way to one of hope and good cheer.

provides for the appointment of pro-
bat officers by the &C, ETY. commits
sioners as we'll as by the probate
judge. The measure prohibits the ap.
pointment of more than two officers

5000 inhabitants and dispenses with
the probation official when the popu-

The consideration of Senator Robin.
sons senate bill No. 20 and Mac,
ueths ''trespass bill No. 4, by the
committee of the whole, stirred up
opposition to the passage of either
bill. Robinson's measure provides
that city councils and boards of vii
lage trustees may borrow $4,000 for
current expenses, when their expens es
! have exceeded the amount raised in
the general levy.
Opposition to Robinson Bill
The opposition was voiced by Sena'

councilmen and trustees and that l.

Lee of Gilmore was another who OBJ

made to amend the bill to provide tn;

cities or towns containing less, thar

reDOrted for reference to the finance
committee with recommendations fol
amendment.
Macbeth's bill prohibited hunters
and anglers from trespassing on en-
closed lands for the purpose of hunt

permission of the owner.
This bill met with storm of pro

The bill was the first measure con

Future Promising If Tobacco
Growers Avoid Excessive
Production.

Hon. j. Campbell Cantrill, father of
the Cantrill tobacco bill, Tuesday even
ing gave out the following interview
at Georgetown, KY, regarding the to-
bacco census just issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce, at Washington:
1.-The second report under the Can
trill census has just been issued, and
showed a very favorable condition of
the crop from the farmers viewpoint,
especially as to the hurley type. 1t
should be borne in mind that there is
practically no hurley tobacco in the
| hands of the farmer of the 1912 crop,
! and that it will be seven months before
| the 1913 crop will begin to move to
market. On October /, 1912, there
were 215, 900, 900 pounds of hurley in
the hands of dealers and manufacture
ers. From Oct. l, 1912, to May ], 1913,
! the entire 1912 crop went into the hands
of the manufacturers. This 1912 bur
| lev crop was estimated at about 225,-
| OOO, 900 pounds. Adding this amount
| to that on hand Oct. l, 1912, and then
subtracting the 327, 100000 pounds now
on hand, shows that 113, 900, 900 pounds
have been consumed within the past six
months.
at is fair to presume that consump
ton of hurley will be the same for the
next six months as for the past six
months. Upon this basis we will get
to market next winter under exactly
| the same condition as last year, name
/ ly, about 215, 900, 900 pounds of hurley
! in the hands of the manufacturers.
Last year the entire crop of hurley sold
| for an average of nearly fourteen cents
I nd &c no r
| ever, why this years crop, now being
| planted. should not bring good price.
This report shows the consumption
of hurley tobacco equals the produc-
| ton for last year. Under this condi-
ton the hurley planters should thrive.
| sincerely hope the growers of hurley
will not attempt to increase the acre
age. We are now growing about all
that our labor conditions and the fer
| tility of our soil will stand. 1t is the
part of wisdom for the planters to keep
conditions as they now are, namely,
equality of production and consumption.
1.-The law under which this report is
made is great protection to the tobac-
| co growers, and let US not destroy our
selves by excessive production. We
are now in a safe position, and with
cduClOn ana WlSUOn, the growers Ol
hurley can keep up the high prices of
last year. | am profoundly grateful to
my colleagues in the House of Repre-
sentatives for assisting me in the pas
sage of the bill under which this report
is made, and to Senator Bradley for his
successful work in the Senate. In my
judgement, this measure has been of
untold benefit to the tobacco growers
of the nation, and l rejoice that l had
the opportunity to draft the bill AMI in
troduce it and assist in its passage.

Take Plenty of Time to Eat

There is a saying that rapid eating
is slow suicide" If you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you are
most likely suffering from indigestion
or constipation, which will result in
serious illness eventually unless cor
rected. Digestion begins first in the
mouth. Food should be thoroughly
masticated and insalivated Then
when you have fullness of the stom-
ach or feel dull and stupid after eat
ing, take one of Chamberlain's Tab.
let's. Many severe cases of stomach
trouble and constipation have
been cured by the use of these tablets
They are easy to take and are most
agreeable in effect. Sold by all deal
