And Are Now Wearing Clothes
Similar TO Those That, Are
MOrnbY White Men.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 1s.-
An examination of the statistical
Charts OF the report OF the commls-
sioner Df Indian affairs, Cato Sells, for
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1916
5discloses. upon comparison OF the
figures presented, among other notable
things, several startling facts which
are Of interest to those concerned
about the welfare of the American In
dian.
IN 1912 approximately 100000 liz
dians had given up their typical IN
dian costumes and adopted the habili-.
ments OF the white man. During the
four years ending in June, 1915. this
number had been increased by 10000.
Whereas in 1912 less tnan 5000
Indians could read and write the Eng
.lish language. during the last four
years that number has been increased
so that today very nearly $4,000 In
dians, or thirty per cent OF the whole
number. have learned to read and
write the English language.
That the Indian has shown no in
clination to neglect his religious duties
lis shown by the fact that where IN
1912, 10000 Indians We're reported as
churchgoing, this number has been In
creased to $4,000 or over forty per
cent in 1916.
The Indians as a class arc apparent

was more than $4,000 900.
Their live stock. which in 1912 was
worth about S22.0O0.000, in 1916 is
worth s28.000,OO0.
The Indian like his white brother,
is going back TO the land IN 1915,
29,2l6 Indians were engaged in farm
ing; In 1916, 35,823 have turned to the
tillage Of the soil for a livelihood and
are real farmers.
In 1911 the acreage cultivated by
Indians was 383,025; in 1916 the In
dams were farming CTS. 527 acres.
The Indian is approaching more and
more the Importance OF hospitals and
proper care during sickness. His
original objection to the white mans
medicine and his tendency to turn to
the Indian medicine man to ameiiorate
his disease is fast passing away.
OF all the figures given in Commits
sioner Sells's report. none show the
effectiveness OF his campaign to I'M
prove health conditions more than the
dropping OF the death rate from ap-
prOximately thirty per 1000 in 1915
to little over twenty-five per 1000 in
1916.
In 1915, thfrty-f1Ye per cent or the
deaths Of Indians were due to tuber-
culosis. while in 1916 only twenty per
cent We're attributed to that cause.
The effectiveness OF tho Save the
Babies campaign is disclosed in the
fact that while in 1914 there were
1891 death of Indian children under
three years of age, in 1916 there were
only 1903 deaths.

No really capable woman objects to
doing her own housework, but there
are certain consequences which follow
the doing OF it that are not altogether
agreeable. One OF the most annoying
is roughened hands. This comes largely
from using powerful agents In clean

are most efEicient, but hands suffer
from their applications as well as dirt

the smooth, hard surface OF enameled

perfection by ordinary soap. which is
comparatively free from alkali or ir-

one of the weaknesses Of human
nature, perhaps most often in evil
dence, is being turned inside out at
the daily sessions OF the federal dis
trict court in Omaha, reports the
Omaha Bee.
1t is the unappeasable desire 70 get
something for nothing. No swtndler
ever succeeded in hooking his victim
unless he presented the unacceptable
lure of 8proflt; he must persuade by
one means or another the buyer into
believing he is getting an unex-
ampled bargain or the deal will not go
on. So the unwaTy is trapped, and suf-
fers in loss of sympathy that might
be his, were 1t not that above all
other things it appears he felt sure
Of biting the bitter.

the sophisticated rascal. who deliber-
ately plots to take advantage OF the
trusting person who is eager TO put his

Nnt YET Affirmed.

The Washington Post numbers itself
among the newspapers that believe
neace is not IN sight as q result OF.
Germany's present peace oyertures- It
holds that none OF the objects for.
which the war has been raging has as
vet been attained. Says it:
All OF thR European belligerents
have ASSERTED from time 10 S:mc that
they are waging war TO reach certain
objects or establish certain principles
in the interest of their own people.
Each nation has asserted that it is
fighting for truth and right. One has
said that 1T is lighting for the freedom
of the seas and another that 1t is fight
ing TO crush Inilitarisrn. None has
admitted that 1t is lighting for terri
tory, commercial supremacy or any
other selfish purpose.
How, then, can there be any settle
ment OF the present conflict based
merely upon the return OF captured
territory or territorial readjustments
How can there be any cessation Of
hatred, envy or any OF the other violent
passions engendered By the war merely
by an attempt to return to the status
quo?
Something more than peace sugges-
tions will be necessary TO stamp OUT
