the body of their mother, Mrs. Grace
Carley, who died last Wednesday at

II WAS at first proposed to send Mrs.
Hartman through on a special train

caboose being attached for the gang
who cleared the track to return to

Washington. March 21.-To pre-
serve and develop the wonderful
music of the American Indian now
fast disappearing with the passing OF
the race. Secretary of the Interior Lane
appointed Geoifrey O'Hara, a compos-
er, as an instructor in music under the
bureau of Indian affairs. II will be
Mr.. O'Hara's duties to record native
Indian music and arrange it for use in

ROAD TAX LAW


Pierre. March 21.-Township super
yisors who have for some time been in
a quandary as to how funds were to
be procured during 1913 for road pur
poses, may now, under the provisions
of eenate bill No. 33, prepare to levy
such taxes on March 25, and the
board of supervisors are empowered to
Issue warrants during the calendar year
against the levy. The Gist section OF
the law which covers the points in
doubt reads as follows:
s'SeDate bill No. 33, an act. En-
titled an act providing for the levying
OF road tax in townships where the tax
has not been heretofore levied as pro-
vided by law.
"Be ii enacted by the Legislature
OF the state of South Dakota:
Section /. The township super
visors of any township in this state
are hereby authorized and empowered
to levy a tax for road purposes for
the year 1913, on the fourth Tuesday
of March, 1918, 10 case such super
visors have failed aud neglected to
levy such tax to secure money for road
purposes for the year 1918 or the first
Tuesday of September, 1912, as provid-
ed by chapters % of the session laws or
1909; and the board ofssupervisors are
hereby empowered TO Issue warrants
during the calendar year of 1918
against the levy herein provided for.
Provided, that such tax shall be ex-
tended on the tax list at the same
time, in the same manner and the
collection thereof, shall be subject to
all of the provisions of existing laws
governing the taxes for 1913"
Chapter 81 of the session laws of
1911 was referended by the peonle and
no provision existed for the levying Of
a road tax by township supervisors to
secure money for road Purposes during
1918. The above law 0 remedies
the situation.

al belonging which he left when he
quit the White House : picture of
Theodore Roosevelt, which hung on
the east wall Of his private Office.
Several days before he started for
Augusta the president took down the
only other picture in bis sanctum,
that Of his father. but the Roosevelt
picture has been hanging there alone
since President Wilson assumed Office.
A letter came to the White House
Offices today requesting that the picture

MOST INDIANS ARE
BLIND OR DISEASED
Findings Of Senate Committee
Made Public.

Washington, March 21.-Trachoma
and tuberculosis are decimating the
American Indian. More than % per
cent of $4,000 are trachoma victims.
Hundreds are blind. These are the
findings of a senate committee investl-
eating Indian diseases.
Trachoma Is most prevalent in the
Indian government boarding schools,
and less in the day schools. Segrega-
ton of Indians affected by trachoma,
a visiting Nurse system, construction
of better ouses and hygienic i'm
provements are recommended.
Nearly 1000 Indians on all reser-
| yations were examined by public
health surgeons. Trachoma is most
prevalent among Indians in Oklahoma,
the health service declares, 6S.7 per
cent of the Indians examined being
affected.
The old Indian custom of passing
the pipe is attacked as unsanitary by
| the surgeons. They also deplore the
undermining of Indians.
In recommending hat Indians be
compelled to submit to medical treat
ment the surgeons say:
poor Lo expects one or two doses
Of medicine to cure him and IL it
fails he seeks a medicine man."
Generally, the surgeons state, the
Indians battle infrequently and often
wear clothes until they drop of,
worn out.

Figures Do Not Tell All.

Even these figures however, do not
show the enormous reduction in the num-
Der of deaths occurring from this class
of disease, and, therefore. in the number
of cases of these diseases that has re-
Gently occurred. The average annual
death rate from diarrheal diseases dur
ing the five years 1S.6-l9Oo was 900 per
100000, apd had the same rate continued
during 1912 the number of deaths record
ed would have been so. instead OF the
number that actually occurred, 1871.
1T is not possible yet to analyze further
the statistics for the year 1912. The fact.
however, that the figures set forth above.
indicate a tendency toward lowering of
the death rate must not be allowed to lull
the individual or the community into
sense of security There is no evidence
to show that there has been any decline
in the prevalence of many of the diseases
that seem to depend wholly upon the per-
sonal habits of the individual, and whose
ha bits with respect to the causation OF
these diseases are now beyond the control
of the public authorities Such, for Ia
stance. are heart disease. hardening OF
the arteries, Bright's disease, apopleXy,
Inflammation of the stomach and gin
drinkers liver. Recent statistics have
shown a tendency of all of these diseases
toward increased prevalence.
1T is safe to say, too, that many of
the deaths that occurred from diseases
the public and of the individual might
have been prevented had more care been
exercised. OF this group of diseases may
be named tuberculosis, typhoid fever.
diphtheria and scarlet fever The fact
that certain diseases have not declined
and are even on the increase. and the
fact that other diseases have not de-
c.ined as rapidly they might have
done, ought to stimulate the community
and the individual toward the improve
ment of the public health. If so much
has been accomplished with our present
stock of knowledge concerning the pre-
vention of disease and with present
limited opportunities for the most eff
fectual work. through lack of legal au-
thority and of money. and under cir
cumstances rendering it practically i'm
possible to carry on any educational CAM
paign whatever, how much more will
be accomplished when all of these require
ments for effective work are satisfac-
torily met?' p
