Seminole Indian Customs,

Seminole Indians take care Of their
own law-breakers and set their own
penalties, which must be obeyed un-
less the Indian wants to be outlawed.
II an Indian is banished for a number
Of moons, for instance, he must pre-
sent himself before the council, some
times for further punishment, unless
he wants to be ouuawed.
The Seminoles have managed to keep
themselves absolutely pure blooded by
the rigidity of their laws against in
termarriage with the whites. The pen
atty is death-but only once in recent
times has it been enforced, when the
Indian squaws hanged the Seminole
wife of white man and destroyed
her child.

ARSENIC IN COAL PRODUCTS
Recent Serious Cases Of Poisoning
Have Called Attention to lts
Presence in Quantities.

Arsenical poisoning by coal and
coal products was recently discussed
before the French Academy OF
Science by Charles Richert in a pa
per.
There had been an outbreak of
serious symptoms at a briquette
works. The name given to the dis
order was the pitch disease. In many
cases there was cutaneous cancer of a
grave form, which even proved ia
tai; about 80 per cent Of all the en-
ployees were affected in THIS way.
A chemical analysis was made of
the pitch, and arsenic was clearly
found in it, and traces we're also dis
covered in the dust at the works, in
the hair of the workingmen (and
that in considerable quantities) and
in the blood Of most of them. It was
evident, therefore, that they we're
under the influence of arsenic.
It was ascertained that similar re-
suits have been met among tar dis
tillers, road asphalters, tarred-paper
makers and lamp-black makers. The
origin Of this arsenic is to be sought
in the coal. It has been long known
that certain varieties of coal contain
notable quantities of arsenical
pyrites, but it is a new thing to find
that arsenic is so widely to be found
in coal.

PULPWoOD IN MONTANA.

Unlimited quantities of timber
suitable for wood pulp used in the
making of paper are available in
Montana and would furnish material
for huge industry, according to J.
C. Van Hook, state forester. The big
drawback is transportation, and this
factor has been largely responsible
for the failure to develop the paper
industry in the state.

 INCONTESTABILITY
 Fourth, the policies shall be incon- testable from the date they take eff feet, except for non-payment of pre- miums, and are issued free of re- strictions as to travel, residence, oc- cupation, or military or naval service, except that the discharge or dismissal of the Insured fro mthe Military or Naval forces of the United States on

 When writing either directly to the Insurance Division, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C., or to other offices, it is necessary in all cases to furnish the following six points of information for tn identjfi- cation of the cases in the records:
 1. Full name (including first, mid dle, and last name) and complete ad- dress.

 3. Army or Navy organization at time of original application for insur- ance. ,t -. ..
 4. The No. of Insurance Certificate or Government Life Insurance Policy, if known. ea
 5. Army Serial Number, if in the Army.
 6. Date of discharge, if discharged
 Service men whose insurance has lapsed or has been cancelled are re- minded, however, that so long as they without insurance, they are without it's protection, and that if they wait, they may not be able to make the necessary statement of health. In their own best interests, they should apply for reinstatement of their in- surance without delay.
