dismissed by Judge Page Morris,

mixed blood Indians, bad paid the

BY the government from 1909 to

''As there was no authoritative
evidence to show which Indians on

and which mixed bloods, the 1926
suits were settled out of court, and
by the time the last claim had been
settled, the department of justice
had recovered 10000 acres of land
for the Indians and in addition a
sum of $4,000 which was paid
back to the Indians who had not
received fair compensation for

TooLong In Water
Cause Of Ear and
Throat Trouble

Physicians report an epidemic of
throat and ear trouble IN Dallas at
this time and one declared that thirty
per cent of the eases are caused by
swimming.
This specialist, who is himself fond
of water sports, declares that the
blame cannot be placed entirely up
on the pools or streams that are be-
ing visited by such large numbers
Of people this summer, but that many
of the cases Of Illness are caused by
improper swimming and diving.
Should Breathe Correctly.
Breathing correctly while in the
water, and especially just before and
after diving, is vitality important to
the health, II is declared. The palate
should be raised and closed as tightly
as possible before going under water
and care should be exercised in ex-
pelling water from the nostrils or
throat in case Of strangulation, no
matter how slight. Most of the head
troubles are caused by those who
strangle expelling the water too vio-
lently, thus straining the delicate
nasal passages and causing to circu-
late therein any accumulated forma-
tions and often resulting in congest-
ions.
Stay In Too Long.
And another cause Of lot of the
trouble is the fact that many bath
ers stay in the pools and streams too
long. Just a few minutes of diving,
swimming and splashing around for
exercise should be enough for any
one, the doctors say. Over-exertion
weakens the constitution, they say,
and makes one more susceptible TO
the troubles now being experienced.
II is the general concensus of opin-
ion that the swimming pools and
stream resorts are all right ne rule,
but that the main danger Of infection
is caused by the fact that so many
people get into the water Mt one time
and stay so long.
II has been pointed out that II the
sizes of the crowds change every few
minutes with the running of the water
through the pools, there would prob
ably be less occasion to visit a spec
ialist a day or two after taking \
plunge.-Dallas News.
