peace and security reign. The endless
plantations. clean villages and well
kept houses make an impression OF
general prosperity. The Batetela, also
of the Belgian Congo, is an excellent
agriculturist and stock breeder and
very Industrious. He is not at all con-
servative; any innovation will tempt
him. Rice Madagascar potatoes and
fruit trees imported by the white man
are found in every village. The people
are scantiiy clothed, but this is great
advantage In their hunting expeditions.
The havoc of sleeping sickness Is
greatly limited by the native custom

forest. The disease is most acute along
the caravan routes. Here one finds viii

are grass grown caravan routes with
only the foot-deep tracks to prove

HOWTHE WAR MAY
AFFECT AFRICA

Washington, Aug. 81. Belgian
Congo. in Africa, so frequently mem
toned in recent European dispatches
as possible objective point of the
German troops, is the home alike of
the most progressive negroes of Africa
and of the primitive and savage canni-
| balls according to a statement issued
by the National Geographic Society at
Washington. d. c., yesterday.
This African colony IS so cut up by
rivers and impenetrable forests that
the tribes inhabiting the country vary
greatly in their customs and language"
says the society's bulletin. But a
few miles distant from these bar
oarous savages are endless plantations
OF mil!et and grain Of their civilized
coun,rymen- The cannibal Bankutus of
Belgian Congo make a practice of re-
moving the upper incisors. Their dress
consists of pleated skirt does not
quite meet on the right thigh: but the
women in the south wear hide girtile
with deep fringe OF palm-iiber string.
Among this tribe the slaves are COM
PEELED to wear special dress. which
is, in fact the ordinary costume of the
Akela, TO which tribe most of them
belong. The Bankutu are great canni-
balls. as far as the male members of
/ the tribe are concerned. and the vic
tins are always slaves. In fact, all
slaves are ultimately eaten, since it is
believed that If slave were buried
his ghost would kill his master.
Their chief weapon is the bow. pois-
on being used on the arrows; shields
are now obsolete. One of their most
interesting points is their use of a con-
ven,ional throwing knife asacurrency.
Inc Bankutu are almost the only tribe
OF this region who have been sue
cessful in resisting the advance of the
white man. This fact is due to their
skill in forest warfare. The way lead
ing to their village is defended by
poisoned spikes hidden by leaves. They
use bows and arrows set like traps in

The Deadly Weakener.

La Grippe in itself is seldom fatal.
But the weakness, lassitude and loss
of appetite induced by it leaves the
system easy prey to the ravages of
other ills.
81. F." Atwood's Medicine is an
unfailing remedy for these dangerous
after-effects. 1t tones up the entire
system, builds up the appetite and re-
stores strength.
Mrs. Croxford's letter tells the
whole story:
