Passing of Famous Army Posts

Old Fort Apache, one of the historic
army posts OF Indian war times, is
soon to be abandoned, according TO
an order issued at Fort Sam Houston,
and the troops stationed there are
to be transferred to other posts in
the Southwest. BY this change the
Government is carrying out plan
of consolidating army activities
adopted about the time when the re-
port of House subcommittee which
had been investigating public prop
erty advised the abandonment of al
number of old forts. Fort Apache
was one of these, and Fort Reno,
Oklahoma. even older and with as
interesting a historical background,
was another.
To the abandonment OF Fort
Apache there will be little or no OPP
position. II was post dreaded by
soldiers and officers. 1t was built
on the lands of the Apaches with the
primary purpose of having troops
near when these Indians or their
neighbors, the San Carlos tribe, went
on the warpath. Some of the most
famous of the old time Indian fight
ers saw service at this post.
Aside from its usefulness in Apache
uprisings it had little value. IL was
200 miles from the international
border and so miles from a railroad,
and thus was able to afford small
service in the turbulent times on the
Mexican frontier Fort Reno, how
ever, has become an important re-
mount depot. ii has long been one OF
the best OF the Oklahoma posts. and
IL is only a short distance from the
capital of the State. The proposal
to abandon it met with considerable
opposition. and the fate of the old
fort is still in the balance.
The most famous OF Oklahoma's
old army posts, Fort Gibson, passed
with a much earlier order OF aban.
donment. IL was established 100
years ago and had an important part
in the development of the surround
ing country. ZACHARY TAYLOR was
one OF its commandments. General SAM
ToUsToN lived at Fort Gibson. JEF-
FERsox DAVIS was young officer
there when he eloped with General
TAYLoR's daughter, WASHINGTON In
WING paid Fort Gibson visit on his
memorable tour into the wild South
west, and HEyRY STANLEY taught
school there as a young man. Only
the ruins Of the old barracks and
post buildings remain to-day.
Other Western forts which after
their usefulness ended were aban-
doned were Fort Niobrara, Nebraska;
Fort Brown, Texas. Fort Grant, ART
IONA, and Fort Yates, North Dakota.
Kansas retains only two OF It's IA
nous army posts. Fort Riley and Fort
Leavenworth: Texas has compare.
lively few of it's early army posts
now in service. In the Northwest
only the most important Of the posts
which we're famous In Indian wars
are still garrisoned
Along the coast many " the old
forts have Jared better. Although as
defenees in modern warfare they
would prove of small value, their
usefulness as military depots has not
entirely departed. With many of
these old Notifications sentiment has
had not a little to do with theig prts-

whole house costs 10 per cent. more
than the earlier figure. while the nine
items. aside from the three about TO be
mentioned exceeded their previous fig-
uroa by from 35 to rs per cent.
Foundations and cement are las per

two ana one-haf times the earlier fig-
use. Masonry is III per cent. higher
than in 1914. Plastering IL i2s per

drowned in the Ridenbaugh canal
south of Meridian, Sunday, met death
in an unusually sad and distressing
manner. The child had gone with
some playmates to the ditch, which
was running full OF water. II l.
thought that the boy, with spirit OF
bravado, told his playmates that hs
could swim across the canal, but NJ
found the swift water was too muef
for him. He called for help, bu
as the other boys could not swim
they were powerless to help. H'
sank from sight, and the boys thel
gave the alarm
He was taken from the water an'
pr. h. f. Neal called, but efforts .

Makeup Of Human Body.

One reason why milk is so excel
lent food is that it contains much
calcium, which is the principal miner
al of the human body, contributing to
the makeup Of the bones and teeth.
A grown person carries in his skele-
ton about four pounds of it, says an
exchange. The body contains about
three ounces of sodium, combined
with chlorine to form common salt.
There are also about two ounces Of
magnesium, which is a silvery-white
metal. Another highly infiammable
metal contained in the body is potas-
sium-about two and one-half ounces
of it. The body contains about 50
ounces Of phosphorus. Seven-eighths
of the phosphorus is in the bones
{going to form phosphate of ime);
half an ounce is in the brain tissues;
the rest is in the red corpuscles of
the blood. OF sulphur there are
about four ounces in the bones and
teeth. The body is three-fifths water
and one-fifth carbon.

IN SHADE OF HlMALAYAs
Majestic Panorama Displayed When
the Gray Clouds Break and Re-

Northward from Darjeeling the
view of the Himalaya mountains is
inspiring. When the gray clouds break,
they reveal crystal ramparts, lifting
far to east and west, and majestic
panorama of range beyond range in
fhe blue distance The primevai for
est no longer extends to the snow
line. There are bare spots and grain
fields and hundreds of tea gardens.
But the farther mountains are
clothed with great trees and with a
tangle Of ferns and creepers, bamboos,
climbing palms and wild flowers. The
hill tribes living in these solitudes are
very dissimilar in features, dress and
habits, but alike in their half-supersti-
tious awe of their great mountains
and in their quiet friendIiness. Some
times woman from the Himalaya
forests appears in the Darjeeling mar
ket place, bearing OIL her back, it
may be, a bundle of fagots for fire
wood, burden less beautiful to west
ern eyes. than armfuis of scarlet
rhododendron blossoms or strange
hued orchids would be, but no. less
precious to the heart of a dweler in
d land Of unceasing ';rain.-From I'm
