Secret of Longevity Of
Indian Is That He Lives
In Open, Eats Plain Food

Chief Manitoweg white Wings), an
Indian evangelist of the Siwash tribe,
who has been preaching in churches in
Harlem and in New Jersey, told his
auditors of the good health and longev-
lty Of the Indian.
'The Indian" he said, "who lives in
his native state on the reservation at
tains an age that few members Of the
white race would believe possible. l
am aware that my race is rapidly be-
coming extinct, but this is because so
many Indians have followed the mode
Of life Of the paleface and the soften
ing influences of civilization. l have
sister who is more than one hundred
years old, and know Indians today on
the reservations who are more than
one hundred, and whose births are a
matter of record. I am sixty-nine my
self, but my years trouble me not at
all. / once knew an Indian woman
who lived to be one hundred and twen-
ty-eight years old.
81 am often asked what is the secret
Of the longevity of these Indians. The
answer is simple, so long as an Indian
will live in the open, drink pure water
only and eat plain food. Many such In
dams are at their best physically at
the age Of fifty. The Indian at fifty
still has his hair, his teeth and his
eyesight, and can run ten miles before
breakfast without an effort. I was
preaching recently at church in New
ark, N. J., and after the service man
of thirty-four came to me and asked
why it was that so many Indians had
thick hair and were not afflicted with
badness. He remarked that he had
never seen a baldheaded Indian. This
man himself was as bald as a billiard
ball.
"T will tell you, my FRIEND told
him, it is the truth, although you will
probably not believe me. When the In
dian goes to bed he at once goes to
sleep; it is different with the white
man, who takes his troubles to bed
with him, and always has something
on his mind"

Magnetic Storms Interfere
With the Flight of Pigeons.

One Of the many explanations that
have been offered to account for the
fact that migrating birds are able to
find their way by night and in cloudy
or foggy weather is that they are SEN
sitive in some way to currents Of ter
restrial magnetism, and therefore d.
rect their flight by the magnetic me-
ridians. This suggestions was put forth
by M. A. Thauzies, a French pigeon
fancier, who declares that carrier
pigeons make poor flights during the
occurrence of magnetic storms. He
also asserts that the general use of
wireless telegraphy has diminished the
reliability of the birds to a surprising
extent.-Popular Science Monthly.

French Women Tenderly Care

Aged, French women in the villages
in the rear of the American sector in
Picardy have asked and received per-
mission to take care of one or more
graves of American soldiers. The af-
lection with which the villagers regard
the Americans is most pathetic. The
difficulty of language is swept aside
and the villagers share the American
sorrows and joys. In the villages
where American troops are billeted
and which are in constant danger from
enemy shells, the Americans share
their gas masks with the peasants and
teach them how to use them.

Formation of the States.

From the beginning of our history
the tendency has been toward terri
torial expansion in the formation of
new states. OF the 10 original states
seven contained less than 10000
square miles, as Vermont, 1854; New
Hampshire, 9,341; Massachusetts,, 81
266: New Jersey, 1924; Connecticut,
4,965; Delaware, 2,370; Rhode Island,
1,248. New York contains only 49,
264 square miles. The middle western
states were considered of great size
when formed. Ohio, Al ,043 square
miles; Indiana. 36,3S4; Illinois, o6,-
665; Michigan, 57,980; Wisconsin, &c.
COG, but they are small compared with
the far western states Of California,
1929 square miles; Montana, 146,-
997; Arizona, 1886; Nevada, no.
500. and Colorado, 103,94S. Texas, with
her 265, 500 square miles, would almost
make six states as large as New York.
