(TO BE CoNTINUED.D
KNOW NOTHING OF DYSPEPSIA
Eskimos Apparently Able to Digest
Anything In the Form of Food,
Without Cooking 1t.

There is at least one native race OF
America that is little troubled with
dyspepsia. The Eskimo seems to defy
all laws in this relation and to thrive.
He eats until he is satisfied, and 1t
takes much to satisfy him, If, indeed,
as there is shred Of the feast before
him. His capacity is limited only by
the supply.
The Eskimo, 1t further appears, can
make no mistake in the manner of
cooking his food for the very simple
reason that he does not cook it. Nor,
so far as the blubber or fat of the Arc
tic is concerned, is be worried about
his manner Of eating it. Indeed, he
may be said not to eat 1t at all. He
cuts it into long strips an inch wide
and an inch thick and then lowers the
strip down his throat as one might
lower rope into a WELL Notwith-
standing all this, the Eskimo does not
suffer from indigestion He can make
a good meal off the flesh and skin of
the walrus, provision so hard and grit
ty that In cutting up the animal the
knife must be continually sharpened.
The teeth of little Eskimo child
will, it Is said by those who know,
meet in bit of walrus skin as the
teeth of one of our own children woul6
meet in the flesh of an apple. althoug
the hide of the walrus is from half all
inch to an inch in thickness and bears
considerable resemblance to the hide
of an elephant. The child Of the Arc.
tic will bite 1t and digest it and never
know what dyspepsia means.

know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.

It is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores

MONROE DOCTRINE
DEFINED BY WILSON
No ACKNOWLEDGMENT By American Nations Allowable
Under 1t All Members of League of Nations

a very frank interchange of views be
tween the antiquities in Washington
and those who represented the other
states of this hemisphere, an inter.
change of views charming and hopeful
because based upon an increasingly
sure appreciation OF. the spirit in which
they were undertaken. These gentle
men have seen that if America is to
come into her own, into her legitimate
own, in a world of peace and order,
she must establish the foundations of
amity so that no one viii hereafter
doubt them-I hope and | believe this
can be accomplished. These confer
ences have enabled me to foresee how
it will be accomplished. 1t will be
accomplished in the first place by the
states of America uniting in guar
anteeing to each other absolutely po-
litical independence and territorial in
tegrity. In the second place, and as
necessarily corollary to that guaran-
teeing the agreement to settle all pend
ing boundary disputes as soon as pos
sible and by amicable process; by
agreeing that all disputes among them
selves, should they unhappily arise,
will be handled by patient, impartial
/ investigation, and settled by arbitra-
| ton; and the agreement necessary to
the peace of the Americas that no
state of either continent will permit
| revolutionary expeditions against an
other state to be fitted out on its ter
ritory, and that they will prohibit the
expectation of the munitions of war
for the purpose of supplying revolu-
tionists against neighboring govern
ments.
