Christian Friends Indeed

During our siege of the grip
we got better acquainted with
the Homer. Bushman family.
This good family were ever aux-
ious to do something for our
helpless and miserable condition.
The family don't live close by,
but no matter how bad the wealth
er nor how deep the snow, they
would come and every time they
came they did something. And,
again at the Office, when we just
had to get out a paper, sick or
we'll, Mr.. Bushman saw to it that
we had all the help it was posi-
BILE to give-lifting forms, start
ing the engine, and such. Now,
all such brotherly feeling makes
us Wsnt to move our wine and
fig tree" right close up snug by
the Bushman home. Such neigh
bors make life worth living, ever
with the grip.

The Congress of the United
States voted the President
of the United States his So
called "autocratic powers. y
Now, let Congress take those
"autocratic powers away
from the President. Con-
gress alone is responsible for
the fix it is in by which no
way can be found to tie a
can to the Secretary of the
War Department. Congress
alone is responsible for the
sO-called zone man war" In
the eyes of the President
Baker is the best man for
War secretary. In the eyes
of the people and of our al
lies, also of a goodly part of
the Congress, Baker is the
inefficient man for the
place, But, whatever the
dilima, Congress did it.
Now let Congress undo it.

serves great credit for her efforts
in collecting funds for the Snow

pay for the yarn used in knitting
the sweaters recently shipped to

Lindsey put in over two days
hard work and succeeded in col
lecting about $50. In her rounds
she ran up against some (very
few who accused the Red Cross
being a graft scheme. With
some such they think it smart to
accuse philanthropic undertak-
ings as graft schemes. They
have no better sense than to
make ounces of themselves in no

How We Treat Spies.

TheUnited States of North
America has been at war
now for eight months or
more. We have been observ-
ers of the worlds most ter
rible war for over four years.
Yet we have not awakened
to the realization of war and
what it means. We go slid
ing along down the toboggan
and don't realize where we
are going. We talk about
fighting battles in a humane
manner so as not to hurt
anybody and all that kind of
rot. When we hear of how
the Germans treat their
prisoners we say "My; isn't
t h a t awful so brutal" "
When the Germans capture a
spy they shoot their heads
off and do it without any un-
necessary ceremony, and we
say "Those murderous Ger
mans!" When we capture a
spy, if anything is done at
all, we send them to the pen
for awhile. The interned
Germansare paid good wages
for whatever they do, instead
of making them work for us.
If we capture a spy and he
happens to be an officer of
the German army, we pay
him the same salary as we
do our own officers of same
rank, feed him we'll, see that
he has every attention an
officer of his rank should
have.
Hundreds of inn ent
babies, helpless mothers and
women and some of the
worlds most noted men-in
all, several thousand were
sent to the bottom of the sea
without a moments notice
when the Lusitania was tor
pedoed. The spies in this
country burn our granaries,
munition factories, wreck
our freight and passenger
trains, blow up our ware
houses, distribute disease
germ in candy for our child
ren, innoculate our soldiers
with lockjaw, tuberculosis,
and other deadly germs, and
we just go on sliding down
the easy-go-lucky toboggan.
We catch the brutes and if
we. don't turn them loose, we
put them in the pen and see
that they get out with their
lives. If he happens to be
an officer, as before stated,
he is kept, fed we'll and paid
for his time.
This country may wake up
if it can live long enough!

what Causes La Grippe?

Now comes Mr.. E. F. Chat
f.p who deposes and says
that;
Ia Grippe is nothing more
tban winter time malaria
and we get it from our open
wells; that by drinking the
water from open wells we get
,oison8 produced from decay
ID matter in the wells; that
thousands Of insects, trash,
caves and other filth produc-
ng objects fall into our open
veil, sink to the bottom,
decay and thereby poison the
water.
We know that typhoid
rginates in decayed matter
and that we get most of our
typhoid from our drinking
water sources. We know
that we are very careless
about our drinking water;
that if we could see the bot
toms of some of our wells as
We drink the water it would
be like taking an overdose of
ipecac, or in other words, if
We could see some of the
things and filth in the wells
as we drink the water we
would need no stomach
pump to get rid of it.
Then, our we'll should be
cleaned twice a year just
after the leaves have finish
ed falling, and next time
about May l. This would
give us fairly clean water to
drink during both winter
and summer.

INDIANS HELP
 RED CROSS BY
 GIVING MONEY

SALT LAKE CITY.-Pe-retta, 75 years old, whose chief at one time controlled big faction of the Ute Indians, has given her fortune to the Red Cross. As some fortunes go, her donation wasn't much, but Pe-retta had S513 to her credit with Albert H. Kneale, superintendent of the Uintah Indian reservation in southern Utah, and she gave the Red Cross $500 and kept SIS for her self
 MT. Kneale, after addressing the Utes recently on the Red Cross needs, concluded his remarks with the question: How much will you give?"
 Scores of hands shot up into the air, each showing one or two fin gers hydden, those upstanding to indicate the size of the contribu- tions. One finger meant s1O, two fingers $20, according to the word signs of the Utes.
 From the knarled fist of Pe-retta five knotted fingers confronted Superintendent Kneale Her sub scription was entered at $50. A few days later Pe-retta limped to the Indian agency to fill out the Red Cross contribution card, and when she saw that only $50 was called for she became indignant and told the superintendent she wished to con- tribute $500.
 "But you have only s513 to your credit" MT. Kneale told her.
 Thirteen dollars left? That's enough for me" And she signed the card for $500.
 Indians in the Uintah basin, ac- cording to MT. Kneale, have pat riotically supported every govern ment movement. Not only have they increased their crops, but in the Liberty Loan, War Savings stamps and other campaigns, have averaged a per capita of $175 for every man, woman and child on the reservation.
