The savageS are numbering their
boys and girls by torturing methods
in the belief that the children are
responsible for the diseases and all
ments which attack the older per-
sons and those who are fortunate
to escape death in this manner are
sold into slavery.
The medicine men are responsible
for the many Ubiquitous and dis
gushing practices besides these
murders. The unimaginable condi-
tons exist among the Chunkos. who
inhabit the head waters of the
Amazon. the situation being aggra-
waited by the liquor of the white

secure some of it. While in this

knowledge of medicine and nursing

no less the militarism which sees in
war an end in itself than the op-

Huge Delegation
From Colby to Go
To u. of M. Game

Much enthusiasm is in evidence
about the campus concerning the COM
ing game of football with the Universi-
ty OF Maine which takes place at Orono
Saturday Of this week. A large delega-
ton of Colby students and cheerers
will attend in body Arrangements
have been made with the NJ. c. r. Il.
whereby a special train will be sched-
uled to transport the group to Orono.
Plans are being laid to have the stu
dent band accompany this body Of
students. There has been more or less
difficulty this season in organizing the
regular student band here at Colby.
There is much talent here in college,
there being in the neighborhood of 80
pieces available. The result of the
inability to organize the band is part
ly due to the lack of leadership. but
this has been partly overcome and it is
expected that the band will be in full
attendance at the game.
