INDIANS HELP CONSERVE
THEY EAT MUsKRAT MEAT

LA CROSSE, Wis, March L. -
No Hoover pledge is required to in
duce Lo, the poor Indian, to conserve
food during the war. Winnebago
Indians in Western Wisconsin have
become sulf-supporting, law abiding
citizens, and a majority of the mem
bers of the tribe are cooperating with
Uncle Sam in all movements having
tn do with fod conservation.
gone are the days when the Winnie
bago Indian stewed all his game and
vegetables in one pot and squatted be-
side the camp fire to devour his meal
He has learned the ways of the white
man at the Government Indian school
in Homah, and he appreciates good
meal served in style. The young
squaws learned at the same school how
to bake bread, cook vegetables in vari-
Gus styles and roast meats. And these
dishes supplant the time honored
Indian stew at most of the meats
First announcement of the Hoover
plan was sufficient to induce the
squaws to forego the use of wheat
flour and use corn and rye and bar
ley several days each week. Recently
a majority of these housewives have
given up the use of wheat entirely.
Muskrat is the favorite meat of the
Winnebago Indian during the war.
He declares it tastes much like veni-
son and it is healthful food

TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black Draught.

Rossville, Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, OF
this place, writes: "My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
iured himself with piece of heavy ma
chinery, across the abdomen. He was
so sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he
weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
He became conStipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
lsent and bought Thedford's Black
Draught. made him take a big dose,
and when it began TO act he tainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief and
began TO mend at once. He got well,
and we both feel he owes his life to

GERARD, OPERATED ON,
WAS CRITICALLY ILL

NEW YORK, March %. James
". Gerard underwent a grave opera
ton for chronic abscess of the bone
OF the nasal sinues last Wednesday,
ii was learned last night, when it was
announced that his condition which
had been critical was improved and
he was considered out of danger.
DR. Lee NJ. Hurd of No. 202 River
side Drive, who operated on the former
Ambassador to Germany, said last
night the operation was most serious
one and that the crisis in Judge Ger
ards condition had not been passed
until yesterday The patient had
spent restful day when word of the
operation and his convalescence was
given out last night and it is now be-
lieved to be only matter of a few
weeks before he is able to be out
again
Mrs. Gerard has remained almost
constantly at her husbands bedside
and it was said at the Ritz-Carlton
last night she was still in the sick
room.
Mr.. Gerard believes that the disease
was contracted on one of his early
visits to the German prison camps,
DIR. Hurd said if the abscess was not
occasioned by contact as Ambassador
with the foul and unsanitary condi-
tons at the camps, his visits greatly
aggravated.
Dr. Hurd said that the abscess had
been chronic for a long time, and it
was impossible to- definitely assign
the cause Under the strain placed
on Judge Gerard by his duties in Ger
many the affection grew steadily
worse, and when he contracted a cold
recently it became so serious that
Wednesday an immediate operation
was necessary.
Mrs Gerard was operated on for
appendicitis at the Ritz-Carlton Dec.
10. She recovered rapidly

WIFE THREW BOTTLE.
HUBBY ASKS FOR DIVORCE

ATLANTA, Ga, March i. His
wife's deadly aim in throwing a bottle
at his head, which she barely missed,
so that the bottle shattered itself on
g wall just back of of him, caused
T. c. Jackson of this city to suspect
that perhaps his domestic situation
was not as smooth and harmonious
as it ought to be; and suspicion gave
way to conviction when he returned
home a few nights later and found
the madame in close and interested
consultation with a hOme-breaker.
Whereupon Jackson sought refuge in
the divorce court with a petition ask
ing for total divorce and the re-
moval of his disabilities
