CHEROKEEs FORGET OLD ROW
Indian Nation Reunited After Split
Over Slavery at Time Of
Civil War.

Talequah, Okla.-Tribal differences
dating back to the Civil war, when the
powerful Cherokee Indian nation broke
into factions over the question of slav-
cry, were wiped out here when several
hundred delegates met and unani-
mously elected Levi Gritts of MuskO-
gee, a full-blOod, as principal chief.
Levi COOkson, mixed blood, living
near Gore, Okla, was chosen assistant
chief.
For the first time Tn the history of
the nation white men, members
through intermarriage, sat at the coun-
Gil and voted. Many of them were un.
able to speak Cherokee and the pro-
ceedings frequently were halted while
translatiOns were made.

CATCHING COLD?
MIMI Oh OFTEN PREVENTS
PNEUMONIA.

It is surprising to read in the daily
papers of treatments that our fore
fathers and grandmothers used for
coughs, colds, catarrh, and bronchial
affections. 1t impresses the writer
with the fact that modern scientific
research had not advanced an iota,
when as matter Of fact, there have
been wonderful advancements in the
treatment of all diseases and condi-
tons that bring on disease. Just be-
cause grandmother used old-fashion-
ed mustard blisters for relieving colds
and congested conditions it is no sane
reason why we should resort to the
old antiquated methods when there
have been such wonderful improve
ments and new discoveries of rem
edies which are far more effective
and less painful to use.
SPECIAL NOTICE:-A druggist
said the other day that a customer
came into his store and inquired for
mustard plaster and he suggested
to the customer that they try MIN
TOL as more modern treatment for
congested conditions. The customer
accepted the druggists suggestion
! and in twenty-four hours the same
customer came into the druggist and
said: Glow long have you handled
MINTOL?" The druggist replied
that he had been handling it for some
little time and the customer frankly
stated that he would never use a
mustard cream or plaster for colds,
coughs, or any congested conditions
again. There are thousands of
others who would say the same as this
druggists customer did, if they would
only try MINTOL. If your druggist
cannot supply you we will mail you
a jar on receipt of price, 35c, soc
and $1.25 a jar. The Home Relief
