The Art Of the NavajOs = !; $ s s' r s s
BY GARRETT p. sERvIss.

when shall we ever learn TO appreciate
the real character Of the American In.
dians? The brutal, unreflccting pro-
nouncement or one Of their white
enemies; The only good Indian Is q
dead Indian" has mad far too much
influence In forming ;ne general public
judgment concerning the red men. Let
us turn from the evil side Of the indian
character and consider little the better
side
Take the Navajos Everybody has
seen or heard of the wonderful Navajo
blankets. nCople capable of producing
such work. the invention OF their own
taste and intelligence, have, by that fact
alone. earned the right to be treated
with respect II the Navajo blankets
now turned out are inferior to those OF a
few decades ago, II they are glaringly coll
ored with anilino ayes and decorated with
patterns THAI lack the simple beauty Of
their predecessors. the fault is the white
mans, and not the Indians
Formerly the Navajos used native dyes,
of exquisite deiioacy, and their designs
were remarkable for the simple harmony
of the combinations. But 60 please white
people, whose taste is interior to their
decorative forms which Danish most OF
the unsophistioated charm which once
ohara cterized thor work. Tho still how
ever turn out blankets, saddle sirths,
etc, in large numbers. and some of tho
work Ia comparable in beauty with that
formerly produced.

looms being employed. and the wool

goats that the tribes raise a. a principal
source OF food. The Navajo men are
often excellent siiversmithB, hammerina
out articles OF pure silver with surpris-
ing skill
But II you would understand the Navajo
indian as a member OF the great human
race, you must look az him from another
viewpoint than that of his industrial
capacity and artistic ability. The social
and religious cermonies that mark his
life reveal his imagination, and show how
far above tho plain Of mere brutality and
savagery he exists. lie has his myths,
like the ancient Greeks, and some OF his

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood Is a try.
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or IN
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
enee with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it Is hard TO recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring For the child, and q distinct
change in the mother results.
There Is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing Is
that, with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which TO prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.
