INDIAN NAMES.

Commenting on the fact that the
Blackfoot Indians have petitioned Sec
rotary Lane to help preserve the In
dian names by which many of the
streams, mountains, valley and villages
in the Glacier National Park are desig-
mated, the Americas Times Recorder
e> presses the hope that a way will be
found to grant their request. That
this should be done quite as much for
THE sake of the country at large as for
the Indians themselves, most Ameri-
cans will readily agree. The Americas
paper says;
If there is anything which the
United States en- do to retain these
traces of the life of the American
Indian, it becomes our officials to
do so. Secretary Lane could act
in this matter as a majority of the
people would have him t., do and
retain these Indian names.
What Georgian is there who
would give up the nmes of Ocmul-
gee, Oconee Etowah and Chatta-
hoochee? And within the bounds
of Sumter county who would sac
rifice the names of Muckalee and
Kinchafoonee?
The Indian names are all that re-
mains in this part of the country of
the splendid race which once dwell;
here. There was time when all our
names were those of the Red Mans
washioning and each name told a
story. 1t had a meaning that told
something of the history of the local
ity, of at least reflected the Indians
love of natures beauties as pictured in
the streams, the lakes, the hills and the
majestic forests His names were no
haphazard jumbles of sylables, but
were fashioned to be word pictures Of
the things to which the names were
given.
Today we in Georgia have almost
lost sight of the fact that Flint river
was "Thronateeska' when the Indian
fshed in its waters, hunted along its
banks and quarried flint for his arti-
facts from outcroppings along its
course. Flint has five letters
AGAINST a round dozen in "Thronatees-
ka'-one sylabble against five. It is
an economy of ink and linguistic en-
ergy which appeals to the white mans
penchant for seeking and utilizing all
possible short cuts, but it sacrifices
something else which every person
not wholly devoid of sentiment can
hardly fail to deplore.
kinchafoonee, Muckalee, Coolawa-
hee, Chickasawhatchee, Itchiway-
Notchaway, Kiokee-these and other
familiar Indian names still survive in
this immediate section. Hundreds of
others were forgotten long ago, and
are, of course, lost forever. Most of
the chief rivers of the state are still
known by the names given them by the
Red Men-Chattahoochee, Oconee, Et-
oTah, Ochlochnee. It seems a pity
that "Thronateeska" should haze de-
generated to Flint"

The Daily Story
The Ways of Fate - BY M. Quad

Miss Dorothy Campbell knew that l.
had rained and frozen during the
night She opened the door and stepped
out TO find that the top stone step was
still glare Miss Dorothy was falling
and screaming when a male pedestrian
who happened to be passing at that
moment, rushed part way up the steps
and received her in his arms. The
shock landed both of them on the WALK,
hut on their feet and they suffered no
injury.
You will excuse me. miss" said the
man as he raised his hat.
Not only excuse, but thank you"
was the reply
And you were going out without
rubbers?" he queried.
Il never wear them"
you run a terrible risk such day
as today"
oh, 1 am pretty surefooted," she
laughed as she noticed that he had
provided himself with pair. Thanks
again"
AS Miss Dorothy was moving away
she noticed that her rescuer was a
man OF perhaps %. with a profess
siCtnal look about him. He had dark
hair and eyes and smile that was
coco nature itself. He was still stand
ing, and she realized that he would
watch her until she had crossed the
street, and, though there was ice un-
der her feet, she stepped out boldly.
She saw two or three pedestrians slip
ping and falling, but she would take
&c warning. BY sheer good luck she
reached the destination she had set out
for. and in time she started to make
her way home She had made half the
distance when rough neck of man
in passing her seemed to give her his
elbow with intent to make her fall,
and fall she did. But Miss Dorothy
didn't go right down amid the slush.
\ pair of strong arms prevented her,
and as she was lifted on her feet again
she turned to find the man who had
saved her before.

she replied.
1t was about the middle of the next
May, and there were early roses in &.
stead of slush and ice that Miss Doro-
thy Campbell arrived at a little couD-
try railroad station 20 miles out Of the
big city. She had come down to pay
her sister a brief visit and they were
to meet her at the station with an
auto. The auto had not arrived yet,
and the girl was standing on the plat
form, waiting.

to time. Sun baths are of great value
when taken with good judgment.
The question of operation for en-
larged glands is a mooted one. We
can only express a personal view.
If there is but one large gland or
perhaps two it may be good treatment
10 attempt its radical removal If
there are several, operation had better
be avoided, provided such general
treatment as above suggested is avail
able over period OF many months or
years. II a lump threatens to break
upon the surface-that is, if 1t softens
IN the center and becomes adherent to
the skin-then either aspiration Of the
fluid contents of the abscess or Incl
sion and drainage is always advisable,
to prevent the ugly soaring and pro-
longed discharge from the fistula or
sinus rupture the abscess certainly
leaves. But operation is TO be con-
sidered only as an alternative when
the open air life Is impossible.
AS for local or internal remedies,
they arc capable OF doing more harm
than good. and must be left to the
physicians choice.

GROWING HEALTHIER

Physicians are fighting fnfantile
paralysis not only with serum pre-
pared from the blood of previous pa
tients, but serum from adults who have
never had the disease. And the latter
serum appears to work nearly as well
as the former.
The theory on which this experiment
tation is based is that adults as a rule
are protected from the disease because
their blood has, in maturity. deveI-
oped the power of resisting the paral-
ysis germs; and thus a serum from
their blood will offer similar resist
ance in the blood of children who have
not yet developed immunity.
This opens up a fascinating field of
speculation. Some medical scientists
are suggesting that the incubation Of
children with serum from their par
ents' blood may serve to make them
proof against all the prevalent dis
eases Of childhood" whether the mar
ents have ever had such diseases or
not. That theory remains to be proved

PHYSICAL INTEGRITY

What prOhteth a man that he gain
the whole world yet lose his health? ?
Naturalists say that long ago the
prehistoric waters were infested with
species of enormous shark which
finally became extinct by reason of
the workings of its vOraciOus appetite
Thus nature eliminates the Over-fed.
The desire for ease of life and plen-
tiful diet is universal and is the great
stimulus of man and animals alike
When man becomes greedy and takes
more ease and food and drink than is
his share, nature discards him
In the race for power and place, for
ease Of circumstance and relief from
the stimulus of hunger, the modern
man is apt TO forget that unless he is
careful Of his body he will soon be
made TO suffer for the infraction of
natures inexOrabIe physical law. With
the loss in body tone comes an equal
loss in mental acuitv and the brain
despite the complaints of an over-fed.
under-exercised, self-poisoned body,
stops working.
StatistiCans have discovered that the
mortality rate of persons in the Unit
ed States over 45 years OF age is in
Creasing. The strenuous life of today
is not alone responsible for this. Lack
of health-giving exercise. superfluftv
Of diet, lack OF restoring sleep; over
stimulation, the high pressure of the
race for power, wealth and position,
plus physical neglect-these bring
early decay. The goal is reached,
wealth is amassed- honor. position
