RED MAN Progressing
Passing of Indian Medicine Man
New Step Forward.
Uncle Sam, In Effort to Perpetuate
Race, Aids His Wards in Put
ting End to the Ravages
of Disease.

The day of the old-time Indian medi-
cine man is rapidly passing. Encour-
aged by Uncle Sam, the red man is
turning more and more to the white
mans physician and his medicine.
The passing of the Indian medicine
man marks another step toward the
Americanization of the original Amer
lean. In the face of the march of civil
lization through the reservations of
the red men, the medicine man has
held his own to a remarkable degree
until recently, when the ravages of
tuberculosis and trachoma among the
adults and the heavy mortality among
the infants on the reservations led to
the conclusion that if the red man was
to be perpetuated, modern sanitary and
medical measures must be adopted.
Uncle Sam has endeavored to do his
part In the protection of his wards by
greatly increasing the number of hos
pitfalls for the use of the Indians.
While there were only SO hospitals in
1912, with a capacity of 1886, there
were IA In 1915, with a capacity of
2,045, and more are being built or
planned.
Substantial Increases have also been
made in the number of field matrons
and nurses, and an attempt made to
furnish the best practicable service
with the appropriations that congress
would make possible.
In view of the widespread prev
alence of trachoma and tuberculosis,
as reported by the investigation OF the
public health service, ophthalmologists
have been increased in number from
three to seven, and the number of reg
ular agency physicians increased from
so to 100, and contract physicians from
SO to 76.
The appropriation for relief of dis
tress has been increased from $500. 1000
to $3.50, 900.
Modern thought having indicated the
Importance of well-cared-for teeth,
seven travelling dentists have been en-
ployed, whose duty it is to keep the
, teeth of the children enrolled In In.
dian schools In the best condition prac-
ticable.
In an effort to improve the sanitary
| surroundings under which Indians
} must live, campaigns for sanitary
clean-ups have been waged on the va
rious reservations.
The Importance of bringing about G
real Improvement In infant mortality Il
the Indian Is to be perpetuated has
been recognized. and an earnest cam
paign has been instituted and is nov
In force to save the babies. This cam
paign has brought ont the most cor
dial cooperation on the part OF all EN-
ployees In the service, and while tn,
results can only be shown after
. period of years its effectiveness is ever
. now apparent

General Trade Conditions.

Duns Review says: A certain hest
tation in business with shrinkage in
it's volume is natural at this season,
and there is now all the more reason
for it because of present disturbing
elements. Yet the volume of transac-
lions is greater than usual at this pc
riod and the position of commerce and
industry remains remarkably strong,
Notwithstanding the foreign compiled
titno,s transportation delays and
doubts about future supplies and
prices.
Recent storms and cold hindered eff
forts to relieve the freight congestion,
and overseas shipments continue diff
cult and uncertain, but domestic move
ments OF raw materials and products
freer and there is somewhat less re-
straint on manufacturing activities
Outputs in many directions, however
have appreciably diminished, and in
ability to make adequate progress in
reducing accumulated contracts still
prevents the acceptance of considera

"CONSCIENCE FUND.- BOOSTED
Uncle Sam Enriched by More Than
$4,000, Biggest Contribution
Made in Any One Year.

Whether or not it is indicative of
the growth of the public conscience,
Uncle Sam profted more in 1915 by
the awakening of the consciences of
some individuals than he had in
any other year since the conscience
fund" of the treasury department came
into existence in 1887. In that year
the total contributions to the fund
were $3.50. During the last fiscal
year the fund was increased by more
than $4,000.
II is pointed out that conscience has
recently been unusually active, not
only to enriching the federal treasury
but In helping private and public cor
porations and individuals An Ohio
man paid % cents for. apples stolen
six years ago; Californian paid a
newspaper subscription 33 years over
due; woman sent stamps to Kan
sas City street railway company to
pay for four fares, and a Pennsyl-
vanian paid up hotel bill he skipped

FEW REALIZE VASTkESS
OF THE GRAND CANYON

Few persons can realize ON a
first view of the Grand Canyon
that it is more than q mile deep
and from eight to ten miles
wide. The cliffs descending to
its depths form a succession of
huge steps, each 300 to 500 feet
high, with steep rocky slopes
between. The cliffs are the
edges of hard beds of limestone
or sandstone; the intervening
slopes mark the outcrops of
softer beds. This series of beds
is more than 5000 feet. thick,
and the beds lie nearly horizon
tai. Far down in the canyon is
a broad shelf caused by the
hard sandstone at the base of
this series, deeply trenched by
narrow inner canyon cut
thousand feet or more into the
underlying granite" The rocks
vary in color from white and
bufr to red and pale green.
They present a marvellous va
riety of picturesque forms,
mostly on titanic scale, fash
Toned mainly by erosion by run
ming water, the agent which
has excavated the canyon.

Clothes exactly suited to their use
are sure to possess distinction, be-
cause this is one of the elements of
good style. Now that everybody goes
bicycling, costumers have bent their
fertile minds upon toys for the wheel,
and have turned out such altogether
fetching creations that the sportswom-
an dotes upon them. 1t is enough to
tempt one to live out of doors all the
time, when comfort and beauty are
combined as they are in sports clothes.
From top to toe the lady who smiles
at life, in the accompanying picture,
is dressed as she should be. Her suit
comprises three pieces, knickerbock-
ers, coat, and skirt. She wears golf
stockings and low-heeled, broad-toed
calfskin shoes. Her hat is close fit
ting, smart shape with brim enough
to shade the eyes. 1t is of light-col-
ored velour, trimmed with a scarf of
soft silk.
While on the subject of sports hats
a new, rainproof fabric which is dou-
BILE faced merits mention. 1t looks
like a thin leather on one side and a
satin on the other. 1t is used In hats
Intended for motoring. or any other
sport. Then there are hats crocheted
OF patented braid. They are beauti-
full and comfortable, clinging to the
head like glove to the hand.

The wheel suit shown in the picture
is made of serge in shepherds check,
and depends upon bone buttons for its
decoration. The coat is made with a
set-in belt of the material, and is pro-
vided with patch pockets. The wide
sailor collar is faced with satin. Plain
coatsleeves are finished with deep
cuffs with a pointed turned-back flap
at the top fastened down with a but
ton. The Knockers are just plain
Knockers, with nothing to distinguish
them from any others. The skirt is
perfectly plain, fits smoothly about the
hips, and is just full enough to allow
comfortable stride. When the fair
bicyclist aOandons her wheel to walk,
take tea, or otherwise disport herself,
she may fasten it at the front, for it
is furnished with buttons and button
holes for that purpose.
The skirt is cut rather short, hardly
long enough TO reach the shoetops- Its
advantages for climbing are evident.
1t may be buttoned only part way to
suit the requirements of the wearer's
action, and permits perfect freedom
either on or off the wheel.

AS the term Branch is still used with different
meanings the following statement is made in
order to define il clearly.
Branches are subordinate parts of Chap

independe nce as the Chapter may give them
within the regulations established by the Cen
trail Committee. They may be replieas Of th.
Chapter on small scale, carrying on all OF
the activities expected of a Chapter.
Their basis is geographical and their names
indicate their location. Chapter with jul
rsdiction over more than one community can
develop it's field of work by organizing
Branches in the various towns OF its jurisdic-
ton. Chapter with jurisdiction over a large
city cay have branches in suitable districts OF
the city.
They are not limited. like the Auxiliary. as
to the kinds of work they may do or the term tern,
Branches and Auxiliaries.
Branches. like Auxiliaries. should get their
information and instructions from the Chap.
tiers and should not write to national head
quarters.
