Daniel Webster's house in Washing

one of the most historic buildings in
the capital, will be torn down soon.
On the site of this old house will be

Webster's house was better known
as the Corcoran house, and was
bought for Webster by popular sub

people, a large part of the money
coming from the pennies of school
children. After the death of Webster
the house was purchased by w. w.
Corcoran, who lived there until he
died, his heirs having sold the property
to the chamber of commerce.
In the Corcoran house Wing pol

EATONIC Users
DO This Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, nl.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the U. S. who
have tested Eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that it stops

really lasting benefits are obtained by
using Eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire

little time, for Eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out Of the body and Of course,
when it is all removed, the sufferer gets
well, feels fine-full Of life and pep.
If you have been taking an Eatonic

wonderful benefits. Please speak to

u. S. Army Uniforms Will Now Fit the Men

THE ARMY has found the perfect
man. 1t all came about because
of the poor fitting uniforms with which
Uncle Sam had to equip his army. The
uniforms have been made to order on
antiquated patterns, held to by the
war department from time immemor-
ial. Try as they could. army officers
couldn't fit the recruits. Every now and
then, by accident, uniform would
'fit like the paper on the wall"
Just before the war the army took
measurements of 1000 men. Fro3 the
average, the patterns were made by
which uniforms were ordered. But the
result was the same. The clothes
wouldn't fit.
But from now on they probably
will. Dr. c. B. Davenport, of the Car
negie institute Of Washington, and a
major in the surgeon generals depart
ment ofIthe army, has solved the prob
lem.
Measurements of 100000 men Of mil

Did Employees to Lose Jobs and Pensions

No comparatively large number of
federal employees is affected by the
decision, it is believed, but among
those employees who will be deprived
of retirement under annuity, and of
their jobs at the same time, there are

Fuel Oil Distribution to Be Regulated

COME plan for the regulation Of the
~ distribution of fuel Oil may be
resorted to If the present menace of
serious shortage continues. A con-
ference of representatives of the lead
ing refineries and users of fuel oil to
work out some joint plan of distribu-
ton has been suggested by Secretary
Of Commerce Alexander.
The suggestion has been made par
ticularly with reference to the situa-
ton in California, in a letter to Sena-
tor Phelaa of that state. Secretary
Alexander opposes any embargo be-
cause of it's effect upon American ex-
port trade. He takes the position that
an embargo should be used only as a
last resort.
Latest figures show that the navy
now needs 100000 barrels of fuel oil
year and that the shipping board,
with it's new merchant fleet, will re-
quire 100000 barrels for 1920 and
6OOOO,OO0 barrels for 1921.
The demand for fuel oil for the
ships of the navy and government
owned merchant marine alone equals
the present output of American re-
fineries for about four months.

Dates Back to Old Testament.

Throwing old shoes after a bridal
couple dates back to the Old Testa-
ment. When man transferred piece
of property he took off his shoe and
handed it to the purchaser to seal
the bargain. In marriage ceremony it
has come to mean that the parents
give up all dominion over their daugh-
ter. In ancient times, when the young
man was unable to arrange with the
parents for the purchase of the girl,
he would run off with her and hide.
Many times he employed the help Of
a trusted friend. From these incidents
comes the well-known custom of the
wedding journey of hidden destination.
The trusted friend of long ago is the
best man of today, who still helps
with the arrangements of the marriage.

copper, jade, shell, Obsidian, and stone.
Beautiful specimens of painted pot
terry have also been found, and some
of the finest samples of Mexican ce-
ramic art come from the tombs of
Oaxaca.
The Indian tribes inhabiting the
state of Oaxaca are the Zapotecs,
Mixtecs, Mics, Cuicatecs, Mazatecs,
Mexicans, Amusgos, Triques, Chatinos,
Chinantecs, Huayes, Zoques and
Chontales. OF these the Zapotecs and
Mixtecs were the most important and
they resisted the Spaniards long after
the rest of the, country had been con-
quered. The Huaves, Amusgos and
Triques have nearly all disappeared.
Each. Tribe Has Its Dress.
The Indians sCill use, in their native
villages, peculiar dress in each tribe,
the most picturesque being that worn
by the Tehuantepec (Zapotec) women.
The Mazatec and Chinantec dresses are
made with elaborate designs in red.
The Indians weave their own cloth and
use vegetable dyes and cochineal for
coloring. In the mountain villages
they still observe many of their an
Gent customs and they are very super
stitious. The Mije Indians belong to
one of the widest tribes found in Mex
leo and few people enter their rugged
country.
When the Spaniards came to Mexico
the Zapotecs had their own govern
ment; Zaachila was their capital and
Cosijoeza their king. They had been
at war with the Mexicans for many
years, and with the aid of the MiXtecs
had been able to resist the invasion
of the Mexicans.
The conquest of these tribes was
mostly due to the influence of the
Spanish monks, who went to the most
remote parts of the country and lived
with the Indians many years, learned
their language and preached the Cos.
pei to them.
On market days and feast days in
the city Of Oaxaca many types of In
dams can still be seen, with their
own peculiar dresses, and many of
them speak nothing but the language
of their own tribes. In few parts of
the republic can so many different
types be seen together.
