SAVES INDIAN BABIES

A unique baby-saving campaign
launched by Cato Sells, commissioner
of Indian affairs, is attracting the at
tention of statesmen, educators,
churchmen and philanthropists in
every part of the country, for, Mr..
Sells declared, on the success of the
campaign depends the survival of a
race.
Commissioner Sells sent circu-
lar letter to all superintendent and
other employees in the Indian service,
urging them to do their utmost to save
the lives of Indian babies. Three
ffths of the North American Indian
babies are dying in infancy on account
of neglect of ordinary sanitary treat
ment and lack Of food, says Mr.. Sells.
He declared that the Indian problem
cannot be solved with Indians, and
says that the race will become ex-
tinct unless the United States awak-
ems to the necessity of improving tho
conditions Under which Indian children

.M'CREARY QUITS PUBLIC LIFE

After thirty-two of his seventy
five years spent in public service,
James B. McCreary, who recently re-
tired from the governorship of Ken
lucky, announces that he is through
with public office.
Mr.. McCreary served six years
in the Kentucky legislature and was
elected governor Of the state in 1875
when he was th;rty-two years old.
After that he was elected to the
house of representatives, where he
served twelve years, and then was
transferred to the other end Of the
capitol as a United States senator.
For several years after the expira-
ton of his senatorial term he was a
private citizen, only to enter again
the political field as a candidate for
governor, and he is the only man on
record who was twice elected gov
ernor of Kentucky after long lapse
of years.
