Sells to study Usage Tribe
Every secretary Of the interior ana
every commissioner of indian affairs
for more than thirty yeas has found
the Usage indian question one of his
troubles. Commissioner Sells has
early discovered that the Usage is
his one worst dream He is going to
devote most of the summer to that
que ton and expects to be in the
Usage reservation a good bit of the
time between now and the settle
ment OF the lease difficulty, the
school problems and the liquor in
fanny
In addition to the territory covered
bv the Foster lease he commissioner
has to consider the leasing of 1000
acres to the westward of the Foster
lease not covered By it which is con-
sidered good wildcat territory. In
fact, it is better than wildcat terri
tory for there is development con
tiguous 10 il that proves some Of il
to be good oil territory This latter
territory is that which was assiduous-

that this provision leads to a chance

Officers of the Army general staff
said so far no facts had appeared in

a fair guess at what is in the minds
of the great French and German stra-
tegists. The one thing they agrees up
on is the contacts reported from
various points on the French and
German border like those which have
preceded them. are inconsequential
Such movements as the crossing OF
the German troops into French terri

the Germans across the Belgian from

your stomach sours, tongue Is coated

have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy. full of sediment; the chan
nels often get irritated. obliging you
tc get up two or three times during
the night
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table,
spoonful in a glass OF water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and blad-
