Drive a Nail Here=Now.

In every healthy body there
are ffty-grains of iron, about as
much as is contained in an ordl-
nary ''tenpenny'' nail. By reason
Of lack Of iron in the blood many
persons are anemic, pale, thin,
emaciated, their blood corpuscles
are uneven, instead Of being round
and full Of good red blood, and
the nerves are lacking in strength.
Feed the nerves on good, rich, red
blood, and one feels full Of vigor.
How can we acquire good red
blood? It Is easily answered. For
many years DR.. Pierce and his
star Of physicians at the Surgical
Institute, in Buffalo, N. Y, expert
mented with iron and other tonics.
and finally found a soluble iron
which, when combined with native
herbal extracts, made a wonderful
blood and nerve tonic. This they
named 'Iron-tic." It can now be
had at most drug stores, and comes

SIR: -1 .,a.
I'm a recent issue of your paper
under the caption of "A Judas in
Camp" you state the following:
while the members of the leg
islative committee, General Coun-
Gil of Minnesota Chippewas, now
in Washington. have and are now
doing all they consistently tcan to
advance suitable legislation for the
general welfare of their Indian
constituency, they have not es-
capped the annoyance and vulgar
aggressions which is conceived of
the despicable motives of the low
bred vo.arist of selfish interests.

The CARTER BILL.
Continued from 1st Page.)

by made available for such pur-
pose The term of Office of each
commissioner shall be two years
during which time such work shall
be completed, at the end of which
time all of such commissions shall
be abolished.
, Sec. 6. That it shall be tae duty
of such commission to visit in per.
son each Indian reservation and
other community in the United
States where Indians have been or
may hereafter be allotted lands and
whenever practicable the home of
each such Indian of one-half or
more Indian blood with a view to
establishing the capabilities of each,
removing restrictions from his
land and other property. and de-
Iiverinq to him a patent in fee if
he is adjudged to be competent by
such commission. -,
Sec. Z. That each commission
shall make a detailed report to
Congress annually on the first
Monday in December setting forth
the progress of the work, showing
the number of applications receiv.
ed, those favorably acted upon, and
those rejected on each Indian res
ervation and in each community
where lands have been or may
hereafter be allotted to Indians,
and shall further report the num-
Der of reservations and communi-
ties where lands have been, or may
hereafter be, allotted to Indians
but not reached by their investi.
cations, and any other data that
may assist Congress to deal intelli
gently with the question of com
potency and incompetency of In
dians.''
Judging from the many express
sions of approval heard concerning
the merits of the above bill, we are
inclined to the conviction that the
people, generally, are heartily in
favor of the measure providing it
is amended on one or two points,
viz: by eliminating all illusions to
mixed or full blood Indians and
provide for 'self-supporting In
dams instead. Then again instead
of lone to be a member of the
Board of Indian Commissioners, -
amended so as to read, lone to be
q member appointed by the .Gov-
ernor of the State wherein the
Indians reside, etc The above sug-
gestions were recently embodied in
a letter written t. Hon. Charles
D. Carter, NJ. c., who introduced
the bill in Congress, and We here.

thereto:
