scious Of all his powers and faculties
is in state Of high physical and
spiritual health.
Think health. Keey your thoughts
on level of health, which, as already
stated, means harmony. This does
not mean that you are to disregard
signals of physical distress If they
appear. If your head aches ascer-
, tain the cause, whether it is nerve
or liver, stomach, or the cause too
infrequently understood. eye strain,
Then correct the trouble. Head
ache is not disease, but symptom
and for that reason it is folly to
take so.called headache powders
Try first rest and complete relax
alton; induce circulation by exercise,
You cannot think clearly if your liver
is out of working order and your
circulation is sluggish.
The law Of health is the law Of
prevention Keep well, and, obvious
ly, there will be no need for cures
A few simple rules conscientiously
adhered to should be sufficient to
keep = healthy mind in a healthy
body, and the first of these rules is
moderation" Practice it at al
times. 1t is impossible to overin.
dulge ones self in any way and fai
to reap the consequences. If tht
mind is overburdened with menta
food, brain fag, with its long list OF
diseases, may follow; if the body i.
overworked nervous prostration OIL
some one of thousand maladies may
ensue.
In this climate and this age of rusl
and worry there are few who do no
need occasional aid to keep the bod,
in condition so that the mental ia
culties may be assured of free play
A glass of water with few drop
of lemon juice in it before breakfast
with saltspoon of salt added, is al
excellent suggestion. laxativ
when the liver is out of order is an
other. Aside from these, fresh al
and reasonable amount of directe
exercise, and any person ought to b
able to keep on the plane of goo
physical and mental balance whicl
spells health.

THE INDIAN GRAND
COUNCIL OF 1916

While adhering in the main to the
original plan of the proposed grand
council of North American Indians in
Denver two years hence, the pro-
moters of that ambitious undertake
ing, we are pleased to find, are look
ing to it as means of permanently
benefitting the red man. The oppor-
tunities which the gathering of rep
resentatives of the ITO TRIBES in the
United States would afford in the
way of pageantry are, of course, very
great and should not be lost, but at
the present juncture in his experience
the Indian is more concerned in the
practical than in the spectacular. If
the latter can be made to advance
the former, well and good, but all
thoughtful Americans, whether of the
old stock or the new, will be disposed
to look askance at this time on any
project for the mere exploitation of
the aborgines for commercial pur-
poses.
AS if in response to this sentiment,
the promoters Qf the Denver enter
prise are wisely contemplating the
assembling of preliminary council
in that city the coming fall, for the
purpose of forwarding a movement
by the Indians looking to the pro-
curement from the government of a
sufficient area of land to enable all
the Indians in the United States to
live in one district. Their number
is about 100000. Of these some 50,-
900 are classed as educated" The
educated Indians, as a rule, are
making fair progress; the uneducated
or reservation, Indians, are not doing
nearly as well, and the movement re.
ferred to is in their interest.
At first glance this proposal may
seem like step backward, one that
will have a tendency to perpetuate
segregation. On closer examination,
however, it must appeal to all true
friends of the Indian as the next and
most practical move toward making
him self dependent. From the secre-
tary of the interior down to the
humblest observer of Indian affairs
it is the common belief that the pres
ent reservation system is most per-
nicious, and that if long continued it
will result in the determination of
the race. If the Indians are congre-
gated in one place, the matter of ed
ucating them-snd this is the prime
consideration-will be greatly simp-
lifted. The Indians have done splend-
idly wherever they have been gath
cred in large numbers, as, for ex-
ample, in what was once the Indian
Territory.
Some tangible good must come out
OF the present popular interest in the
Indians welfare, end the grand coun-
ell at Denver in 1915 will be all the
more appropriate. and all the more
deserving of national support and
commendation, if it shall celebrate a
radical departure from the Indian
policy of the nation and the begin
ing of brighter era for the red
man.-Christian Science Monitor.

EUROPEAN IDEAS TO IMPROVE
HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION

Mr.. Samuel Hill, president of the
American Road Builders associa-
ton, has returned to America after
a happy summer spent in inspecting
the roads of England, France and
Germany and gathering ideas for the
improvement of the roads of the
United States One of the particul-
arly bright spots in the itinerary of
"the Apostle of Good Roads," by
which title Mr.. Hill is generally
known, was the visit TO Sidcup, Eng.
which is the paradise of all those
who are interested in the good roads
movement, for in a limited area 80
different kinds of roads have been
laid in Sidcup, so that the compara-
tive merits of each under similar con-
ditions and during the same period
of time may be readily ascertainabe.
These various road pavements are ex-
perimental and nave now been laid
for two years. The section laid with
water-bound macadam was found to
be one of the least durable 1t was
dusty in summer, muddy in winter,
"and required more scavenging than
any other section according to the
report on the different pavements
issued after two years trial One
Of the best pavements was tar ma
cadam, and other pavements which
bore the heavy traffic Of the neigh
borhood without undue wear were
those made of pitch grouted macad-
am and asphalt macadam with a one
inch wearing surface.
Mr.. Hill also inspected the roads
of the cities, including London, Paris
and Berlin. The object in going
abroad was to attend the third in
ternational road congress, which tool,
place in London in June.
Good roads throughout the coun-
try, in the opinion of Mr.. Hill, would
do more to solve the problem of the
high cost of living than any changes
which may be made IN the tariff or
in the laws affecting trusts and mo-
nopolies, He is convinced after q
number of years investigation of the
subject, that railroads, waterways
etc, are all less important to the
farmer than the broad highway which
runs past his door and constitutes his
natural avenue for traffic with cities
near and far. That the expense of
wagon haulage in the United States
is so great is one of the principal
reasons why the business of farming
is not regarded with enthusiasm, and
Mr.. Hill points out that the Europ-
can farmer has greatly the advantage
over the American farmer in this
matter, as it costs him only a third
as much to haul ton of produce
mile as it costs the American farm.
er to haul the same load the same
distance, the difference being due to
the better roads over which the Eur.
opean farmer does his hauling.
Although the citizens of the United
States, especially in the farming dis
ticts, are gradually awakening to
the importance of good roads the gov,
eminent has not yet, according tc
MIR. Hill, been fully aroused to the
Importance of the matter as it af.
tects the great masses of consumers
as well as producers. The associa-
ton hopes, however, that before the
next congress of the American Road
Builders association, which will be
held in Philadelphia in December
there will be better understanding
Of the Importance Of the good roads
movement at Washington.
