scientist group seeking to perpet.
uate an older of things among the
Pueblo Indians, and progress on
the part of individuals is deemed
by them as an interference with
the religious liberty OF the people.
As we understand the term,
religious liberty means that every
individual Indian has the right to
worship God according to the
dictates of his own conscience,
whether he belon gs to the so-calied
pagan party or the Christian pro-
gressive group among the Pneblos.
We believe that the fundamental
principle of religious liberty is
federation, and that neither party
has the right to force its views on
the other-it is a policy of live
and let live. If any of our readers
can give better definition, we
shall be glad to have it.

WHAT IS EvAPoRATEp MILKi

Did you ever stop to figure out the
exact meaning Of "Evaporated Mkt
The word "evaporated" may give you
the idea that In the process Of evapo.
ration the milk has lost some of its
valuable qualities. It hasn't. 1t has
lost only water. Sixty per cent of the
water is evaporated from the milk
after 1t comes fresh from the COW.
The first step In processing the milk
: Is the evaporation, when q portion Of
the water content Is removed. The
second step Is the homogenization,
which insures the cream being dis.
tributed evenly throughout the milk.
The third Is the canning. The fourth
Is sterilization, which takes place In
the can when the milk Is subjected to
sufficient heat to destroy the bacteria.
Thus evaporated milk remains as pure
and fresh In the container as when Il
foamed into the pail In the farmers
barn.
Evaporated milk 10 now generally
recognized as the freshest milk avail.
able to those not living on farms and
producing their own milk. For fresh.
ness in milk means purity.
Transportation of milk from the
dairy country to the city is well syste-
matized and rapid and yet owing to
the immense quantities Of milk that
must be rushed In daily, much Of II
must be obtained at considerable dis
tances and large per cent is neces-
sarily some days old when It is de-
livered by the milkman.
Evaporated milk, on the other hand
Is last nights md this mornings milk.
From the dairy barn, always under
rigid inspection, 1t Is hurried by farm.
ers to factories located In the heart Of
the dairy country and delivered wher
It Is fresh. Evaporated milk Is canned
just at It's freshest moment" when
It IL in its finest state. It II never
allowed to get old The whole proc
ess from COW to can requires only .
few hours. It may be interesting to
know that the process Of sterilizing
takes place after the milk has been
sealed In It's containers. Once In its
sterllized containers, thers II no pos.
sihility Of deterioration.
] The sterillzing Of evaporated milk
insures its purity--it makes safe
milk for the children. y Evaporated
milk is boiled milk, hnd this makes Il
more digestible.
II may be used for any milk need
with safety and economy.
For ordinary cream needs. use II
inst a. It comes from the can. When
a rich milk is desired, add an equal
part of water. For cooking and bak-
!. ing, two parts water and one part milk
win usually suf,ce. II

The indians and
.,., Religious Liberty.
Il is as,, @l Ed that soma peo

1t is astlMiEg that some peo
pie of intelligence have such a
confused idea of Religious Lib
erty.' To many of them it is
merely an abstract term. They
appear TO think it should be ap
piled to an entire community, sn1
not to the individual. Such a
theory in the very antithesis of our
State constitutions Mexico,
for example, provides that
Perfect toleration of relig
ious sentiment shall be secured,
and no inhabitant of this State
shall ever be molested in person or
property on account of his or her
mode of religious worship"
Any other Interpretation of the
term would mean liberty for q
ruling minority 10 tyrannize a ma.
jority. in which the right of the
individual is ignored.
A correspondent accuses as OF
trying to destroy native customs,
abolish paganism, etc., and advo.
eating a most grievous collection
of wrongs. As his observations
have been limited to Colorado
(wbere there are 7s0 Indiaus) and
New Mexico, it is assumed that be

So far as we are aware there il
no movement to crush native arts,
crafts and religion, any more than
in ancient times there was any or

vancement of our forebears from
the stone age period to a better
form of civilization. 1t is one ol

hauling the output from the mills
to the railway at Ogema, five
miles west of White Earth. 1t is
we'll to remember also, that there
are a great many who are not able
to work, even if work was plenti.
full. The garden crops in the
Chippewa country this year were
nearly all killed by early frosts.
which makes it necessary for the
Indians to buy what they want in
the way of vegetables, and pota
toes are bringing unheard OF prices
at the present time and will no
doubt bring higher prices before
spring. The State has put a stop
to the Indians trapping fur, only
certain kinds may be taken.
With all these things to think
about, is it any wonder the Chip.
pewas feel uneasy as the first
chilly blasts of winter creep into
their homes and bite into their
none too we'll clothed bodies, and
that they await with great fore
boding the arrival of extreme cold
weather. It is safe to say that
unless some assistance is given
them a large majority are going to
experience much suffering and
hardship, and in many instances
disease and death, before the
coming of spring.
The proposition of rationing the
Indians in order to relieve suffer.
ing among them, is poor one. II
affords opportunity to show
favoritism by the person or per
sons in charge and works to the
disgust of everyone. In many
instances the rations issued are not
fit to eat and-cause disease. thereby
doing more harm than good. The
Indian is no different from any
other man; he must need have a
little cash uow and then to NEE,
his obligations that are sure IT,
arise in the course of his daily
life, he cannot pay these with
rations. And furthermore, these
rations are purchased by the. gov.
ernment with funds belonging to
ALL the Chippewas and are then
doled out to only few who may
be actually starving, providing
they are in the favor of the person
issuing the rations, while the rest
of the Indians whose money has
been used to purchase said rations,
get nothing at all, this a rank
injustice to these Indian people
and il one of the many objections
to the ration system. In justice
to all concerned, a per capita pay
ment is the only means that will
attain the end. 1t is hoped thai
our friends in Congress will be
successful in their efforts to obtain
a per capita payment and thereby
forestall suffering among them
and give them q chance to spend
at least a little of their own money
in their hard struggle for exist
ence.
