America met modern America half
way at Musa Isle. near here, today
when Tony Tommy, chieftain of a
Seminole tribe. married Edna John,
his childhood sweetheart of the Ever
Glades.
There were many whites in the
crowd that witnessed the nuptials.
They had been invited by special
handbills distributed throughout this
section. as. for the Seminoles, it was
the greatest event of state since Osce-
ola decreed war against the whites,
and they poured into Musa Isle to
participate in harbaric ceremonies.
Chief Tommy, however. softened the
tribal customs somewhat. Instead Of

with the ancient Seminole law. The
chief and his l9year- old bride stood In
khe center of a circle of their own peo-
pie. while Charley Billy. Tommy's
cousin. recited the tribal marriage in
junction.
Billy told the young couple 'to be
good love each other and live to-
gether." The Indians nodded vigor-
ously when these words were pro
nounced but the white guests had to
wait for an interpreter to inform
them at what stage the ceremony
was. Tommy then placed another

bride. There were already many

Sea health in you food and if fish
is good for brain workers, then it GER
tainly becomes food for thought" COM
ments DR.. Herman N. Bundesen in his
latest bulletin.
Get more intimately acquainted with
fish than merely looking at the goldfish
bowl. Fish is easy of digestion, con-
tains vitamins for health, and has
strength and body building proteins.
Fish and sea foods are a good
source of iodine, the mineral that pre-
vents goiter," states the Commissioner.
"The poor fish in our good Lake Mich
igaf are itching to be broiled, baked
and chowdered AS a weight reducer,
fish is a good food because it is not a
fat producer.
Fish is one of our valuable staple
foods and, pound for pound, is one OF
the cheapest sources Of nourishment
You do not need to eat shark to get
all the food value of fish; the smallest
perch has all the necessary elements

HON. HENRY HoRNER WILL
BE REELECTED JUDGE OF
THE PROBATE COURT ON
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2.

The November election is fast ap-
preaching and the people are beginning
to pay close attention to the various
candidates who are seeking their suf-
frage. And it seems to be the uni
versal opinion that the Hon. Henry
Horner, Democratic candidate for
Probate Judge will be reelected No
vember End.
In discharging the duties of the
Probate Court since his election twelve
years ago, Judge Horner has displayed
legal ability, judicial qualifications and
such fairness, intelligence and industry
that this court has been accorded the
approval of the Bar and the admiration
Of the community.
He has applied efficiency and BUSH
ness methods to the dispatch Of the
Courts work, disposing of it expedi-
tiousIy and yet with just and fair con-
sideration of the cases which have
come before him and in accordance
with the splendid traditions Of that
court.
Judges of this character are not cas-
lily found. The benefit Of Judge Hor-
ner's service and his years Of experience
must not be lost to Cook County.
Every consideration demands his re-
election.
