MAKE IDLE INDIANS
SELF SUPPORTING

Secretary of the Interior Lane be-
lieves that the day for treating the
Indian as ward has passed. In a
letter to Representative Scott Ferris,
of Oklahoma, respecting the proposed
investigation of the Indian service,
he wrote; "The greatest service we
can do for the Indian is to set him
free; and the Indian bureau should be
vanishing bureau. Secretary Lane
thinks that the government has "no
consistent philosophy either as to leg
islation or as to administration touch
ing Indian affairs - He wrote: 81 am
satisfied from what examination
have made that there are tens of
thousands of so-called Indians, whose
property to a greater or less degree is
under the control of this bureau, who
are as competent to attend to their af-
fairs as any men or women of the
white race. There are thousands of
others of the half blood who are an ex-
pense to the government, who should
not be regarded as dependent, but who
should be given their property and al
lowed to shift for themselves. -

REPUBLICAN PAPERS DIVIDED
PATRONAGE WITH DEMOCRATS

Some of the Republican papers of

that the Democratic papers are to be

official advertising for the govern

own way so long that the awakening

There is no preference about it.

REMARKABLE RECES-

The cause of the recession of glaciers
is not fully understood, but it seems
to imply an average ameioration of
the climate. Glaciers are fed from
snowfelds, and if they become smaller
only one of two explanations seem
possible. Either the snowfall in the
higher levels must have diminished
or the temperature in the lower levels
has grown higher. There are several
reasons for supposing that the climate
of the north Pacific zone is becoming
gardually warmer, although the
change is very gradual. Sir Charles
Lyell, the famous geologist, in one of
his books, speaks of the breaking
away of a great ice barrier near
Greenland, winch occurred, if we are
not mistaken, in 1916, and says it was

PAST FIFTY YOU
NEED "CASCARETS"
What glasses are to weak eyes
-Cascarets are to weak
bowels.

Most old people must give TO the
bowels some regular help. else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
SO all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid
weak eyes with glasses as to neg
lect this gentle aid to weak bowels.
The bowels must be kept active
This is important at all ages, but
never so much as at fifty.
Age is not Il time for harsh phys
les Youth may occasionally whip
the bowels into activity. But lash
can't be used every day What the
bowels of the old need is a gentle
and natural tonic. One that can be
constantly used without harm The
only such tonic is Cascarets and
they cost only 10 cents per box at
any drug store. They work while
you sleep.
