An Indians Comment.

Are We civilized? A young woman
who visited the Grand canyon a few
weeks ago had an educated Indian as a
guide one day, and as the party went
along they saw a father, aggravated
by something his young son had done
stop on the edge Of the canyon and
give the boy thorough spanking. The
Indian was indignant THAT Is what
l call barbarous." he exclaimed. Nov
that boy will always remember this
great canyon as the place where he re
ceived a spanking. He might have car
rled a picture Of its grandeur In bis
mind that would have assisted In de
veloping him, but now all that is spoil
ed. We Indians don't do things that
way. We expect our children to endure
pain, but We don't inflict It." And
wasn't the Indian right?-Leavenworth

A Head Full
of Ache

There are many forms of headache,
but the sick headache is about the
worst ever. When it once fastens on
you, it lasts good while, unless you
know how to get rid of it. Sick head
ache usually comes from the stomach
or liver, and you must help these or
gans before the head can be relieved.
A few doses of 81. F." Atwood's Med
icine will put your stomach to ri ghts,
regulate the bile, and act on the bow
els. AS soon as good order is Sc
cured, the dizzy feeling and nagging
pain will leave your head, and soon
you will be as we'll as ever. No medi-
cine is better for sick headache or
biliousness.
Buy 35e bottle at your nearest store.
