We eat too much meat, which clogs Kidneys, says

If back hurts or Bladder bothers,
 stop all meat for

 When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat. says a well-known authority Meat forms uric acid which oVerWorks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells: your stomach sours, tongue is coated. and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and YOU are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good reliable phy- sician at once or get from your phar- macist about four ounces of lad Salts: take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been useG for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer ir. ritates, thus ending bladder weakness
 lad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It Is inexpensive, canno injure and makes a delightful, effer vescent lithia water drink.

tary, that the methods pursued by the congress for the past 15 years of providing federal buildings through so-called omnibus public building bills have resulted in the construction Of many public buildings in small towns and localities where they are not needed. and at a cost which is clearly uniustified by any actual requirem ents of the communities in which they are erected. The conclusion is irresist- ible that authorizations for public buildings in these small communities are too frequently dictated by local reasons and without regard to the best interests of the governme ment. The most serious aspect is this: The an- nual operation and maintenance of these buildings impose on the treas ury a permanent and constantly in- creasing burden.

"The financial strength of the United States-the greatest in our his tory-gives us a commanding position in world finance. We have been transformed from a debtor into a creditor nation. On November 1, 1916, the stock of gold coin and bullion in the United States was estimated at $2,700, ,136,976 an increase of $714,- 597,S04 in the past 16 months. This is the largest stock of gold ever held in the United States or in any other country of the world. Through the operations of the Federal Reserve system and without abundant supply of gold as a basis, the credit resources of the United States have become more than sufficient for home de- mand, and we have been able to finance our great domestic and for eign trade without strain and to ex- tend vast amounts of credit to other nations throughout the world.
 The experience of the past two years has brought into strong relief the value of the Federal Reserve Sys- tenn. It is not too much to say that our great prosperity could not exist it.

She Looks After the Rights of Indian Heirs

passed an act empowering all bonded
superintendents agents of Indian
schools or agencies to issue marriage
licenses. under the direction of the
clerk of the superior court of the
county in which the school or agency
is located. and to perform marriage
ceremonies. A similar law in all states
in which there are Indian reservations
would materially help to break up
loose marital customs of many tribes
and to improve the moral standard of
individuals. as well as be of assistance
in the determination of heirs and the
settlement of estates.
1T may be said that there is a gem
eral tendency to comply with the stat
utory marriage requirements in the
states where Indians live, and the in
crease of lawful marriages is apparent.
UnqueStiona bly, the heirShp work has
been material factor in impressing
upon the minds of Indians the impor-
tance of lawful marriages and the
certain relationship between parents
and children.
native custom is recognized as the law
governing the domestic relations In
this case an Indian custom divorce
which is nothing more than a separa-
tion between husband and wife, is as
valid as divorce between citzein In
dians.
The fact of an Indians dying does
not remove the restrictions imposed
by the governments Ruardianship of
his property. The department still
retains its guardianship until the land
passes by sale from the heirs.
There are some exceptions to this,
however. When an Indian has proved
that he has good mental capacity, with
the ability to protect himself in busi-
ness matters. he Is entitled to apply
to the Office for the removal of the fed
eral restrictions. His case is care
fully investigated both in the agency
and at the bureau. II he is found COM
petent his request is granted and the
government gives up its hold upon his
land. If he is found incapable of pro.
tecting himself in the way Of business
his application is disapproved, and the
government retains its control of the
protection of him and his heirs"
Miss Etheridge takes a deep interest
and an active part in the affairs of her

as represented. and especially to find
out that the heirs mentioned are the
proper legal inheritorS of the estate
This work is all preparatory for the of
fetal signatures We abide as far as
possible by the laws of the states in
which the wills are made. but the de-
cision of the Secretary of the Interior
is supreme.
Many of the Indians cannot read or
write. Here is will, for instance. with
the thumb mark this signature.
Again. many of them are well thought
out and are carefully drawn instru-
ments. There are many wealthy In
dians especially among the OsageS of
Oklahoma A number of these blanket
Indians are near millionaireS. The ma g
nitude of the oil industry to the Indians
of Oklahoma may be appreciated when
it is realized that 34.654,645 barrels of
oil were produced during the year.
"On these federal heirship cases un-
der the laws hearing is given to all
persons claiming a share in the estate
and the papers are forwarded to the
office and used in the determination of
heirs The claimants are entitled to
hire attorneys to represent them at
those hearings if so desired
Are there many difficult cases to be
settled"
Yes. there is fair proportion of
cases which have to be weighed very
carefully, and the result is sometimes
an alteration of the will
Here, for instance, is case which
has given some trouble. An allottee
who had large estate died leaving
will in which he bequeathed his whole
estate to his mother. He also left
wife. but no children. Under the laws
of Oklahoma no person can dispose of
more than two-thirds of his estate
away from the surviving wife or hus-
band, as the case may be
The wife of this Indian had been
notoriously unfaithful to him and on
one occasion stabbed him in the lungs.
Some evidence was brought in to show
that the pulmonary consumption of
which he died was connected with the
stab wound, but 1t was not sufficiently
plain to establish the fact. The testator
had attempted to secure a divorce. but
had died before the decree was made.
The question which had to be set
tied by the Secretary Of the Interior
was whether he should give his ap-
proval to the passage of the will. the
disposition under which was clearly
equitable. or decline to approve it on
the ground that it infringed the state
law. The Secretary decided in favor
of the testator."

To see that justice is done the heirs

There are over 10000 Indians in the

5000 of Uncle Sans employees to look

The work of determining heirs of de-

visions of the act of 1910 progressed
very satisfactorily last year About
$4,000 cases were received in the Office.

being made this year to close up all
undetermined Indian heirship cases on

whose property is still under restric-

The Bethel mission was Established
more than thirty years ago The
Moravian missions are doing well with
their reindeer. The Eskimos about
Bethel have fifteen hundred. and in the
last mIdwinter holidays they had what
might be called a reindeer contest or
fair. This was to stimulate an inter-
est in all matters connected with deer
raising. There were speed contests in
loading and lashing sleds and speed
races. There were premiums for the
best lassoing of an unbroken deer, the
best and quickest harnessing and
hitching, and in driving deer for a
quarter of mile. a half mile and
longer. At the same fair the men
practiced foot races and the women
brought in baked bread for prizes. The
Moravian missions have now about
eight hundred Eskimos among their
members. They are said to be doing
excellent work.
The Catholic missions are largely
managed by the Jesuit Fathers There
are nearly one hundred stations. of
which seventeen are provided with
resident priests Nineteen of the mis-
sions have chapels. There ore also a
number of schools and several con-

for Indian boys and an orphanage for
Indian girls at Koserefsky, and there
are schools for boys and girls here at

schools. They have now about 10 pu-

and they seem to have been dressed for

We were graciously received by the
teachers and pupils. There was a song
of welcome in English by the kinder
gardeners, and an address by one of
the older girls. which she read from a
paper. Later we had humorous songs
and recitations, and the hour closed
with the children singing My Country,

delightful. and 1t was hard to realize
that the little Indians came of tribes
