Minneapolis MINI, May 2.-Robert
G. Bell, special assistant tOthe At
torney General announced here today
that in the last year and a half the
acses Of more than 1000 White Earth
Indians have been disposed of and
that 10000 acres of reservation land
have been returned to the government
to be held in trust for the Indians In
addition hundreds of thousands of dol
lars have been recovered for the Ind
ians and title to 10000 acres of land
has been cleared, throwing it open to
cultivation, he said. The litigation
which has been pending for six years
followed passage Of the Clapp Act,
which allows Indians of mixed blood
to sell their lands. 1t was charged
that lumberman and spectators took
an unfair advantage Of the act in many
instances, obtaining Indian land at
prices far below their value.

No Joyous Spring-Time for
Those Who Can Hardly
Breathe.

If you are in the grasp of Ca
tarrh, your experience should
convince you that the disease is
beyond the reach of sprays,
douches, jellies, balms, salves
and other locally applied rene
dies.
When the air passages become
so stopped up that every breath
you take is difficult, when the
throat and nose are so clogged
up with offensive mucous that
you are constantly hawking and
splitting in an effort to clear
your nostrils, every effort you
make to get relief by the use of
sprays and douches is promptly
followed by new accumulations,
so that no Roadway whatever is
made toward getting rid of the
disease.
If you want to get rid of Ca
tarrh, throw your sprays, ato-
mixers and other local treatment
to the winds, and pay heed to the
voice of science.

from a germ which infests the

ing Of the International League, sched-
uled to be held in this city on Monday.
March %. The conference will be the
second since the annual meeting OF the
league was adjourned late in Decem-
Der. 1t is expected that at the coming
session the club owners will decide
definitely whether the organization
will continue its circuit during the
season OF 1918 or abandon play for the
duration of the war. Such evidence as
is available in advance would appear
to indicate that the league will operate
this summer.
Several of the club owners have al
ready lntimated that they are clearly
opposed to continuation of play I'M
der present unsettled conditions, Incl
dental to the war. Others stand ready
to back baseball for another season at
least, but just what side will hold the
majority vote can not be stated before
the day of the meeting.
Others May Be SWayed.
The outcome of the conference is
likely to have a distinct bearing upon
the decision of other minor leagues in
