QUIT MEAT IF YOUR

The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog

blood to poison the entire system.

four ounces of Jad Salts; take a

breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of

stepped into tie bushes and hid. The
Wetzel boys played this dangerous
game of hlde-and-seek several times
before they finally eluded the savages
and returned in safety to their home.
When Lewis Wetzel grew Older he
crossed over into Ohio and soon be-
came one of the best-known scouts In
the country.
Wetzel was called 1.-THE Death
Wind" by the Delawares whom he
hated particularly. More than once a
Delaware warrior trembled with fear
as he heard shrill, moaning cry echo
ing through the forest, for 1t usually
was followed soon afterward by shot
from the scouts deadly weapon which
ended the redskins life.
In his later years Wetzel lost the
respect of many people because he be-
gan killing all Indians he met, whether
hostile or friendly, and several times
he was imprisoned for shooting menu
bers of peaceable tribes. In his last
days he became lonely, bitter old
man until death came to him In 1903.

SACAGAWEA, 1.-THE BIRD
WOMAN" SCOUT

In the Portland (Ore.) city park
stands the statue of an Indian woman.
A little baby is strapped on her back
and her hand is outstretched TO the
west, toward the Pacific ocean. The
statue is that of Sacagawea, THE Bird
Woman" the siXteen-year-old girl
scout and guide who led Lewis and
Clark over the Shining Mountains to
the "Everywhere-Salt- Water" toward
which her hand points.
When Lewis and Clark visited the
Hidatsa Indians in North Dakota on
their great exploring trip west, they
found Shoshone girl living with that
tribe. At the age Of five she had been
captured from her people by Hidatsa
war party. When she was fourteen
years old, Toussaint Charbanneau, a
French Canadian trapper, won her
from her captor in game OF hide
the-bone" and married her the next
year.
The Bird Woman wished to return
TO her people and Lewis and Clark
engaged Charbonneau and his wife as
interpreters to the Indians they would
meet. During the winter Of 1900 SAGA
gawea gave birth TO a son, whom she
called Baptiste, and this tiny papoosc
went with his dauntless mother
through all the hardships which the
explorers afterward endured. He was
strapped on Sacagawea's back one day
when the clumsy Charbanneau upset
One of the boats containing the
precious instruments and records of
the party. The Bird Woman at once
sprang overheard into the muddy
stream and rescued them.
More than once Sacagawea proved
her value TO the explorers. Far up the
river when the forest and snow baf-
fed her companions and they were
lost, the homing instinct of the In
dian girl led her on and she guided
them safely to her people. The chief
who welcomed them proved to be SAGA
gawea's brother. who was overJoyed
to see his lost sister again. He sold
the white men much-needed horses
and would have stolen them back, had
not the Bird Woman betrayed the plot
to Captain Lewis.
Sacagawea remained with Lewis
and Clark until they reached the Pa
cific. On their return journey she
stopped with her people, the Sho-
shones; and there she spent the re-
mainder of her days. She died on the
Wind River reservation In Wyoming

DAvY CROCKETT, THE HERO OF
THE ALAMO

-"Be sure you're right, then go
ahead" was Davy Crockett's motto.
He fought for the right, then went
ahead 10 a glorious death in the Ala
mo. Crockett was born in Tennessee
In 1856. He came of fighting stock
for his father, a tavern keeper, had
been soldier In the Revolution.
Young Crockett's early years were
spent In roaming the Tennessee
woods, hunting. He became re-
nowned bear hunter, fame which he
shared with his favorite rife. "Old
Betsy"
When the Creek Indians went on the
war path in 1913 Crockett tossed "Old
Betsy" on his shoulder and marched
away to fight the Indians. He served
as a scout under Gen. Andrew Jackson
and was in the great Battle of Toho-
peka when "Old Hickory" defeated
Weatherford's warriors.
After the Greek war was over Davy
returned to Tennessee and entered
politics. From magistrate he rose to
state legislator and next the renowned
bear hunter and scout was sent to
congress where he served two terms.
In February, 1886, Davy with II of his
Tennessee friends arrived at the Mis-
sion del Alamo where Col. William
Travis with little army of less than
200 men was defying the Mexican die
tator, Santa Anna.
Santa Anna had force of 5000
men, and although the Texans had
chance to escape before this over
whelming army cut off their retreat,
they refused to do so. The Mexican
general surrounded the rude little
adobe fort His demand for its sur
render was met with scorn. Then he
raised the red flag which meant, mo
quarter" and attacked.
The long rifles of the Texans moved
down the Mexican soldiers driven to
the attack. On March 6 Santa Anna
prepared for a grand assault. Twenty
five hundred picked men were detailed
to be hurled against the fort. The
first assault was beaten back with
heavy loss. A second failed, but in
the third desperate attempt the Next
cans broke into the fort.
After that the fighting was hand to
hand. Travis went down and Crockett
took command. Outnumbered a hun
dred to one, Crockett with a few COM
rades stood with their backs to the
wall of the church. One by one his
men went down. At last only Davy
was left. "Old Betsy" fired her last
shot. Then Crockett seized her by the
barrel and swung her about his head.
There was a short struggle. "Old
Betsy" was knocked from his hand.
Bayonet thrust and sword cut were
rained upon him. A mass of Mexicans
struck him. He went down fighting to
the last. The Alamo was history

LEWIS WETZEL, DEATH WIND
OF THE DELAWARES"

Many Of the great scouts did not
become Indian fighters until they were
men, but Lewis Wetzel started early.
He killed his first Indian when he was
only thirteen years old. Wetzel was
born in Virginia in 1852. His father
moved to the present site of Wheeling,
w. Va, and was killed there by the
Indians before the eyes of his sons.
Lewis swore eternal enmity against all
redskins.
One day while he and his brother
were roaming in the woods they were
attacked by Indians. Lewis killed one
Of the savages and the next instant
was hit by bullet which carried away
q piece Of his breast bone. Both boys
were taken captive. That night while
the Indians slept, Wetzel worked
loose the thongs which bound him and
then unfastened his brother.
After the boys had fled for about a
mile they discovered that their moe
casins were torn to shreds. Leaving
his brother in hiding, Lewis returned
to the Indian camp and, undetected by
the sleeping savages, robbed them Of
two pairs Of moccasins as well as a
gun and some powder and lead.
The next morning the Indians were
hot on their trail and soon were close
upon them. AS the Indians APP
preached, the boys stepped out of the
trail into a clump of bushes, allowing
their pursuers to speed past, and then
they followed. Soon they heard the
Indians coming back and again they
