TIGER BACK HOME

EORMER Premier Clemenceau is back
! in France after six months visit
to India. He contemplates an early
trip to Australia, and is being urged to
visit the United States in the near fu-
ture. Should he come here he will re-
ceive the welcome that his services to
humanity in the war and in the peace
that followed demand. Clemenceau
completely outgeneraled and outwitted
the man at the head of the American
peace delegation, but only because that
man had his mind set on but one thing,
the league of nations, to the exclusion
of everything of interest to the country
he was supposed to represent. Clemen-
ceau thought of France and succeeded
in writing into the peace treaty clauses
of tremendous benefit to his country.
He earned the title of "Tiger OF
France" for his single-hearted efforts
in behalf of his native land.

cuItivating Edible Bamboo.

The Japanese edible bamboo has
been successfully introduced into the
southern portion Of the United States
by the department of agriculture. Sew
eral plantations are now established in
Georgia and Louisiana. POpu1ariza-
tion of the bamboo will furnish large
homegrown supplies Of this useful
timber required by our manufacturing
industries. The giant grass grows a
foot day, and its 50foot stalk is
well adapted for making frames, furni.
ture, ladders, trellises and barrel
hoops. The new sprout is a delicious
vegetable and resembles asparagus in
flavor and in the manner of its prep
aration. There is an increasing de-
mand in America for the bamboo tim
ber, and also for the edible bamboo
shoot.

JOURNAL PRINTED BY INDIANS
Cherokees Once Had a Newspaper
That May Be Said to Have Be-
come q Power.

The Cherokee Indians, when still oc-
cupying what now is the state OF Geor-
gia, published newspaper in their ma
tive tongue in 1928. One Of their tribe,
Sequoyah by name, in 1923 designed
S6 characters that were to represent
the Cherokee language in print. The
national committee and council OF the
tribe meeting at New Echota, the cap
ftal of their nation, in 1926, voted q
fund to buy type, press and the nee
essary equipment. The paper was
known as the Cherokee Phoenix. HaIf
of it was printed in Cherokee and half
In English. Hundreds Of fullblood In
lians who otherwise would have re-
mained illiterate all their lives, were
thus enabled to read after mastering
the alphabet. These Indians became
subscribers of the paper, as did mem
bers of neighboring states, and the pa
per became power.
The Phoenix was 'knOwn in Eu-
rope" and among other famous pa
pers that asked to BE placed on the
exchange list was the London Times.
The paper was in operation for about
five years, and was harassed when the
movement having for its object the re-
moval of the Cherokee Indians west
ward was at it's height. 1t suspended
publication when the Georgia state
legislature forbid white man to live
among the Cherokees.
The honor of becoming the first In
dian editor fell to Elias BOudinot, q
native-bOrn citizen of the nation.

Preventative Medicine

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one Of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows a
cold or attack Of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on,
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
first indication Of cold appears so as
to get rid of it with the least possible
delay. 1t is folly to risk an attack of
pneumonia when this remedy may be
obtained for trifle.

FAIR WARNING TO PROFITEERS

DREsIDENT HARDING-I have
l said to the people we meant to
have less of government in business as

It is well to have it understood that
business has right to pursue its nor

meet government competition where all
risk is borne by the public Treasury.
There is no challenge to honest and law

approval of fortunate, untrammeled
business does not mean liberation OF re-

that just government, mindful OF the

to expect the cooperation of that legiti-
mate business in stamping out the prac

policemen saw man swinging wom-

story window of a building while she
kept up a continuous screaming. They
rushed upstairs and into the room,
saved the woman and arrested the man.
But, they noticed that his eyes were
closed. At police headquarters doc

was suffering from nightmare and was
not aware Of what he was doing. If
