 Well, you are entitled to a surprise that ought to bring smile. A so- called confidential communication" to Federal Judge Manton and a jury here by an attorney for the Universal Film company was that the terrible octopus was only theatrical prop with rubber hoses for tenacles.

Stomach Not Helped
By Artificial Digestents
Doctors Now Advise Magnesia for
Acid Indigestion

Just how foolish it is to indiscrimi-
nately dose the stomach with drugs
and medicines is often not realized
until too late. 1t seems so simple to
swallow a dose of some special mix
ture or take pepsin tablets, or other
artificial digestents after meals, and
the folly of this drugging is not ap
parent until, perhaps years afterward.
when chronic dyspepsia his developed
or gastric ulcers have almost or en-
tirely eaten their way through the
stomach walls. Regrets are then un-
availing.
It is in the early stages when indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, heartburn, fatu-
lence, etc, indicate excessive acidity
of the stomach or fermentation of
food contents that precaution should
be taken.
In excessive acidity digestents are
unsuitable and have little or no in
fiuence upon the harmful acid; that
is why so many are discarding them
and advising sufferers from indiges-
tion and stomach trouble to get rid
of the dangerous acid and keep the
food contents bland and sweet by TAX
ing little pure bisurated magnesia
instead.
Bisurated Magnesia is a pleasant,
harmless, antacid which can be read
| lily obtained from Geo. A. Gorgas or
any drug store. 1t is practically
tasteless and a teaspoonfui taken in
| a little hot or cold water after meals,
will usually be found quite sufficient
to instantly neutralize. excessive acid

the distress to which it is giving rise.

The American Indian, although
long dead, continues to influence the
diet of the United States-thc sun
dried apple, which may yet return
with all its blessings to the people, is
one of the Indian foods which we
flavor of cooked chestnuts, has be-
come extinct, never to be revived.
In addition to fish and game, in
cluding the turkey. together with
corn, beans, wild rice and pumpkin,
the, North American Indian placed at
! the disposal of our forefathers many
other foods-potatoes, turnips, pars-
nips, carrots, beets, radishes and
Sago.
The Digger Indians" received
their name from the fact that they
were specialists in cultivating and
digging root plants and bulbs.
They preserved great quantities of
these foods for future use by drying
them in the sun. Sun-dried apples,
found now only in few enterprising
establishments in the country, such
as the Providence Public Market,
constitute another of the foods of the
redman which we have allowed to get
away from us.
The sun-dried apple is not so
SNOWY a thing as the sulphur-bleach-
ed apple. But it's flavor is infinitely
superior, and it's wholesomeness, un-
like that of the sulphured fruit, is
unquestionable.
The Indian turnip was dried,
pounded to meal, and cooked with
jerked bison, venison or bear and
corn.
The Sioux Indians were so fond of
the turnip-''prairie root'-that it
eventually found it's way to Europe.
T.. ID. Neill in 1858 wrote his His
tory of Minnesota" The turnip had
played such an important part in the
development of that territory that
Neill was obliged to notice 1t.
This root has lately acquired a
European reputation" he says. la
mar Picot has introduced it into his
native country and the savants of
Paris have given it the name of 'Pi-
cotiana.' 1t has been suggested that
| this dry prairie root might yet take
an important place among the vege-
tables which are cultivated for the
support of human life
The plains Indians from Canada to
Texas had dish called "kouse"
which was probably the origin of our

Pin,pLes Disappear

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to clear away all pimples, blotches
and other skin eruptions and that
makes the skin soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes. black heads in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 25c; an extra
large bottle, $l00. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

Corinth. Miss, April 26.-Hiram
Burrows shot and fatally wounded
his brother, Banks Burrows, ut the
formers home, 8 miles southwest of
Corinth. The shooting is said to have
been the result of nard feeling exist
ing between the two men for some
time.
Banks Burrows lived on his broth
ers place, and the latter had asked
him to move, it is said, which is
thought to have been the origin of
the difficulty. 1t appears that both
men were armed when they met in
Hiram Burrows lot, and each was
shot by the other. 1t is understood,
however. that Hiram Burrows injury
is not serious.
Both men are past 60 years old,
married and have families. They
have been residing in this county for
several years.

They dried and pounded the turnip

whole corn, and in the porridge
cooked fowl or game.
You may imagine the thrill of sur
prise which came to me when upon
seeking the origin of the word
'kouse" 1 learned that it was deriv-
word is to be found in the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica as "couscous,' or
"kous-kous," dish common among
the inhabitants of North Africa made
of pounded flour rubbed together and
steamed over stew of mutton or
fowl.
Surely the North American Indian
has had nothing in common with the
North African. Yet, the Arabic word
was known to them both and cur
iously enough it meant the same
thing.
Certainly for thousands of years
there was no connection between
these two peoples. Yet kouse per-
sisted on it's way from some common
point back in the unknown darkness
up through the centuries, until the
voyageVrs and their kindred found it
in Amer ca and made use of 1t.
Another root common among the
Indians, which we no longer culti-
vate, was called "camas." This root
they roasted and ground into a meal
from which they made bread. the
flavor of which was like that of
cooked chestnuts.
Tuckahoe. or tawke, was a root
which the Swedish settlers in New
Jersey borrowed from the Delaware
Indians.
Another root cultivated by the
Seminoles of Florida was converted
when pounded into meal called
"coonti." Coonti bread was used by
the white population and also by the
negroes of the south Atlantic states.
Walter Hough in his Handbook of
American Indians North of Mexico" !"
1907, says, "A demand among the
whites for coonti flour has led to the
establishment of several mills in
Florida
These foods, some of. which are
still to be found, but many of which
were lost during the numbering and
pillaging period of the settlement of
America by the whites do not by any
means complete the list. Others we

that "rest in bed is harmful for
these cases. and should be avoided
at all stages of treatment except in
instances of severe heart pain, Sc
