Manufacturing company in this city
which proved the foremost asset
in Pittsfelds electrical growth. 1t is
now the Pittsfield plant of the Gen
eral Electric company.
Mr. Stanley was thirty-two years
old when he constructed his first al
ternating current machine adapted
to the transmission OF light and pow
er for a considerable distance. He
came to Pittsfield in 1890 and inter
ested the late William w. Gamwell
in the proposition of establishing an
electrical industry here. He and
others, including the late William A.
Whittlesey, succeeded in organizing
in November, 1890, the Stanley com
pany, with capitalization of $4,000
which in its third year, with a capitil
ization OF $4,000, earned $4,000.

Sometimes it occures to be that / take
my job too seriously, but after all do you
think it possible to take too seriously re-
sponsibility involving the health, education,
property, and in some measure, the destiny
of human race? The Indian Office deals
with people numbering approximately
$4,000 souls We have virtually Govern
ment within a Government Our Bureau
deals with every social, educational, econom-
ic and contractual relationship. 1t has
some feature of nearly every other bureau
or Department in Washington. 1t is origin
al in it's operation, constructive in it's ac-
ton, and frequently without precedent.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs might to
advantage be a lawyer DOCTOR teacher, farm
er, stockman, lumberman, oil expert and

the equipment within the range Of human
affairs. There is no phase of life upon
which he does not have to act practically

has to deal with the varied relationships Of
almost six thousand employees, and there
are numerous perpleXing and constantly
arising conditions which require courage
and faithful, unbending adherence to duty.
In closing let me say that believe the en-
ployees of the Indian Service as a whole
are the most capable of all employees of the
Government Service, and that their average
compensation is not in proportion to their
worth and accomplishments. In the per
Torrance of my duties as Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs, / have had no greater salts

in many instances are making sacrifices and
who are rendering the most faithful and eff
ficient service.
My pilgrimage across the continent to
meet you in this splendid conference is not
only to express to you something of my views
on Indian administration, but that we may
consult with one another; strengthen our
appreciation of duty to the Indian race, and
so execute our respective responsibilities as
to insure enlargement Of vision to the end
and that the white and red race, shall,
through our efforts, become more and more
integral parts of our civilization, and to-
gether march side by side in peace, prosper

the sentiment, and saying You are abso-

save the American Indian from the curse of
whiskey, we can save him from pretty much
all the other ills that threaten him." No
better proof of the evils attending the use
of liquor can be given then to cite the at

little opportunity for acquiring knowledge
of conditions prevailing in their respective

is that the nomadic student acquires no last

beautiful relationship which should main

in the school where he received his educa-
ton.

poses How can we expect boy or girl
to learn industrial efficiency when he has
been educated at a non-reservatlon or reser-
walton boarding school where the methods
if adopted in private business would prompt
~ lead to bankruptcy? During the last two
years we have industriously undertaken to
work out program which will make such
things impossible in the future.
It is indefensible for an Indian school or
reservation to purchase anything, soil and
climate considered, that can be produced.
Tt is of the highest Importance that the In
dian boy and girl be made to realize and
fully understand the Importance of economy,
production of self-support. They should
have continuous object lesson justifylng
the expenditure for their education.
The time must come quickly when tn In
dams are producers rather than altogether
consumers. In this connection it is graft
flying to announce that our agricultural and
stock raising efforts are meeting with gen.
eral and splendid success. The Indians on
numerous reservations are demonstrating
their capacity for stock raising; they are
increasing their crop acreage rapidly, as
indicated by the fact that this year they
used several times as much seed as during
any previous year, and that their cattle,
horses and sheep are being upbred, in
creased, and cared for in a business-like
and profitable manner.
I firmly believe that if the industrial pro-
gress of the last two years is continued for
ten years, our Indians will be practically
self-supporting, with CORRESPONDENCE re-
duced Congressional appropriations.

Making the
Home Comfy
Beauty and Habit.

1t is impossible to be beautiful with
out being healthy. Health Is the foun-
dalton Of beauty. If one wants to be
really beautiful the beauty must be
more than skin deep. The trouble
with most people is that they are
quite satisfied with a beauty that is
superficial enough to deceive the on
locker. Beauty includes vigor and
efficiency.
To be really beautiful one must
have, not only beautiful face, but
beautiful hands as well; not simply
a good complexion for the face. but
a good complexion all over. Not in
frequently a persons body is covered
with pimples. With such blemishes
on the face one would feel very
badly, but so long as they are out
of sight. they are not regarded.
However, they mean that the whole
body is in a state of uncleanliness,
and of low resistance because of this
uncleanliness.
The only way to be really beautiful
Is to live beautifully, to live rightly.
That means to live naturally. For
example, IL one Is aiming to be beau
tiful, one must eat beautiful things,
because our bodies are made of what
we eat. If one eats corpses, how can
one expect to be beautiful? But II
one eats the beautiful fruits and nuts
that are hung from the trees, in
viting us to reach up and partake--
IL one eats these and other natural
foods that nature has prepared for
us, that are all pure and sweet and
good and clean, then one may have
normal, clean blood, and the result of
good, clean blood will be a clear skin
and a good complexion. A lady once
asked the writer what was good for
her complexion, and we told her oat
meal. She said, "Do you mean rub 1t
on?" Eyes, we said, rub 1t on, and
rub 1t in--swallow it,. H. Kellogg,

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps Of
lead; your back hurts or the urine il
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.

of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
