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.
ity 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. I
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. 1 have
a 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
matter of record. 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.
IL am often asked what Is the secret
VI thC VI IhCoC Ahuioho. AhC
answer is simple, so long as an Indian
will live In the open, drink pure water
only and eat plain food. Many such In
dians 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. 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 q baldheaded Indian. This
man himself was as bald as billiard
ball.
"T will tell you, my friend I told
him, 1T Is the truth, although you will
probably not believe me. When the In
dian goes to bed he at once goes to
sleep; 1t Is different with the Whit
man, who takes his troubles to bed
with him, and always has something
on his mind"

be found In the statement OF Dr.
Charles J. Hatfield, executive secre-
tary Of the Nationl Association Tor the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
that "the war will not increase tuoer-

Admittedly, thousands of men VINO

one. The detection Of incipient tuber-
culosis is not possible through such
means.
A thorough examination by an eA-
pert is required This all the men are
now receiving, and it is not strange
that SO many tuberculosis sufferers
should be found. 1t should be under
stood that the majority of these eX-
hibit no obvious symptoms, but are ap-'

But it is realized that the disease
might make rapid progress under the
hardships Of life in the trenches, ana
it is the part of wisdom to keep these

Seventy-four per cent Of an egg is

Fifteen per cent of an egg is pro-

muscle and lean meat. Hens get pro-

And the flowers and birds are filling the

No questions or cares to perplex you;
There'Il be no little bruises or bumps tc

Nor patches OF stockings to vex you.
For I'll rock you away on silver dew

And sing you asleep when you're weary,
And no one shall know of our beautiful

But you and your own little dearie.
And when I'm tired I'll nestle my head
In the bosom that's soothed me Sc

And the wide-awake stars shall sing In

A song which our dreaming shall soften.

An important Difference.

The gasoline situation IN this coun-
try IL not to be compared with that In
Europe. England and France are al
most entirely dependent upon imports
Of petroleum products and the ability
to import is limited by lack Of ships.
It Is for this reason that the use Of
motorcars for private use has had to
be suspended except for the most ur-
gent requirements. America, on the
contrary, is the worlds largest OIL
producing country and Is unable to ex-
port more than one-Quarter of its gaso-
line production. To the extent that
gasoline, kerosene and fuel oil are used
for power purposes the supply Of coal
Is conserved.
