Navajo Therapeutics.

The Medical Council, medical
magazine of Philadelphia, in an article
by DR.. Basil A. Warren, who is IN
charge of the United States govern
ment hospital at Leupp, Ariz, de-
scribed some of the methods employed
by the Navajo Indians in the treat
ment of diseases. The Navajos have
q strong belief in demons or evil Splr-
its and think that when body is bur
led care must be taken to cover
uD all tracks of those who left the
grave SO that the demons attending
the burial could not follow them to
their hogan-the hogan is the rude
hut of the IndianS-and do them harm.
The chief measures used in treating
disease are singing, dancing and III
vocations. The singing idea is much
In favor and might perhaps be adopt
ed by civilization in some cases to the
exclusion of less palatable potionS.
Certain songs are specific for certain
diseases, but the song to be effective
must be sung without single error.
These songs are not to be sung oy
ouacks or irregulars, and to keep out
such practitioners the regular profes-
sion employs q language which is not
understood by any but themselves,
dead language which the Indians be-
iieve was spoken by "the ancient holy
people"

ORKNEY ISLANDS IN HISTORY
Christian of Denmark Put Them Up
for Security Of Cowry When His
Daughter Married James I'LL.

No other territory in the British EN-
pire has a more tragic significance to
Englishmen today than the Orkney is
lands, off whose shores the most dis
t.nguished victim of the world war,
Earl Kitchener, lost his life when the
cruiser Hampshire was sunk.
These islands, 80 in number, OF
which only 80 are inhabited, are sep
arated from the mainland Of Scotland
by the Pentland Firth, from six and
half to eight miles wide. They were
selected as England's North sea naval
base not only on account OF their
proximity to the field of operations,
but on account of their semi-isolation
and the advantage Of the superb har-
Dor of Stromness, in the largest island
of the group, Pomona, which has an
area of 200 square miles,
While the original inhabitants OF
the islands were Picts, whose round
towers and chambered mounds are
among the interesting ruins of this re-
gion, the Morse pirates secured 6
foothold here during the early centuries
Of the Christian era, and carried on
their depredations against all naviga-
tors of the North sea. In the last
quarter Of the ninth century Harold
Haarfagr put an end to the rule OF
the pirates, and added both the Ork-
neys and the Shetland islands to Nor
ways domain. In 1853 the Orkneys
came under the sway Of the Scottish
crown, Christian I Of Denmark giving
them as security for his daughters
dowry when she became the bride
Of James III. AS the dowry was never
paid the islands have remained a part
Of Scotland's domain ever since.
The Orkneys, which are the Orcades
of classic literature, furnished the set
ting for many of the episodes in Sir
Walter Scots novel, 1.-THE Pirate" the
character of that romance being John
Cow, the notorious freebooter born IN
Stromness and captured of the Is
lands in 1925. Another literary as

The Worm That Turned.

Just by looking at him as he sat IN

could tell that he was harmless, but a
close inspection would also have re-

fire indicative of q past when his life
had been his own-a past now long

Charm Widely Used.

Il is curious to note in how many
forms Of ornamentation the Swastika
appears. In Italy it has been d1scov'

encased; in the Swiss lake district IT
was stamped on pottery; in Scandi'
navia it appears on carved pins and

SCHOOL DAYS.

Again the youth of our COM
munity are getting ready to go
back to school and prepare them
selves for the duties of life. A
few years hence they will be
bearing the burdens Of the com.
munity that are borne by US to-
day, and it is incumbent upon US
to see that they are in every
way fitted to cope with the many
and intricate problems that will
confront them. Education Is a
modern necessity. 1t is no longer
a luxury reserved principally for
the rich. II is just as essential
that the mind of the farmer be
developed to the utmost capacity
as it is for the merchant or the
doctor or lawyer. Each branch
of industry is dependent IN a
great measure of the success at
tanned by other branches. No
longer can we go it alone as our
forefathers did in the good old
days. Hence, if we would have
our children successful in life it
is necessary that we afford them
every opportunity to acquire the
education that is the first re-
quisite to such achievement.
Keep the public schools in mind,
encourage the teachers by your
personal interest and support,
and commend the children in
their efforts to meet your expec-
tations. Speak the good word
that breeds ambition in the heart
of teacher and pupil alike. and
begin the speaking today.

REWARD THIS OFFICER.

Nearly year and a half ago
Col. D. E. Mccarthy. quarter
master of the central department
of the United States Army, sent
a letter to the army authorities
at Washington strongly recon-
mending the creation of Quart
ermaster Reserve Corps, to be
composed of men of high execu-
tive ability in the different lines
Iof business throughout the coun-
try. Men thus selected would be
commissioned by the president
as majors, captains and lieuten-
ants il the reserve corps. and
would be subject to call for mil
Fitary duty in the quartermaster
corps in time OF war.
Congress has enacted Col. Nc
Carthy's recommendation into
law and many of the brightest
and keenest business men of the
country are making application
for membership. They include
railroad men in the traffic. ac'
counting, operating and mechan-
ical departments; managers and
department heads of the great
navigation companies; automo-
bile and auto truck manufactur'
ers and managers; warehouse
and terminal company men; ex-
perts in the animal industry
wholesale feed and grain men;
wagon, machine, harness and
other men; expert men in the
wholesale grocery, clothing,
shoe, hat and other industries,
including men skilled in the
manufacture of such articles;
officials of large hotels and
restaurants; men skilled in the
building trades; construction
engineers and managers; experts
in civil, mechanical, sanitary:
electrical and structural engl-
ueering; bankers and heads OF
banking departments, and skill
ed men in many other lines Of
business not herein mentioned.
No army can operate success.
fully without an efficient quar-
termaster corps, and no quarter
master corps can ever be sue
cess unless it is composed of
men of a high order Of intelll-
gence and executive ability.
Colonel Mccarthy is veteran
quartermaster who looks ahead
instead of musing upon the past,
and the newly created Quarter
master Reserve Corps is the ultl-
mate product of his shrewd brain.
There remains yet another
thing to be done. When the
president is called upon to select
new Quartermaster General OF
the Army it would be a fitting
recognition of his splendid serv
ices to reward this officer by ele-
waiting HIM to that highly re-
sponsible position.
He has earned it, he should
have it, and the country needs
men his calibre in the high
positions Of trust and responsl'
bility.
