as "a place where there was night and

drums were beaten at some particular

Grief of relatives at a death was
often extreme, causing them to cut
gashes in their bodies Relatives usually
went to a grave at evening and walled
for a long time. A man in deep
mourning painted his entire face black.
In less extreme cases he painted black
circles around his eyes. In every case
1t was required that the widow remain
in mourning for at least a year. She
could not go to any public place, wore
ragged clothing, and cut off her hair
or wore it unbranded. If she wore any
bright ornament the relatives of the
dead husband had the right to tear it
off. If she remarked within the year
they had the right to tear down her

Another mourning custom was to
keep spirit bundle" A lock of hair
was cut from the head of the dead
person and wrapped in birch bark. On
the night of the burial the relatives
built fire, took this spirit bundle to
the flames and sat around all night
! talking. This was repeated four con-
secutive nights.
The spirit bundle of a child was made
by its mother. She carried it on her
back as she went about the camp, or set
it upright in the wigwam, placing food
before it as though it we're a living
thing. Sometimes she placed the child's
clothing in a cradle board and carried
that for year.
When a woman kept the spirit bundle
of her husband she treated it as il

her at night At first the bundle was
small but it grew larger as she wrapped

TO EAT WITHOUT
BECOMING FAT
Avoid Too Much of Any
Food-and Too Little Ex-
ercise, Say Authorities

! Some people seem to think that
I all they need to do to reduce is to
stop eating sugar. That isn't true.
| AS a matter of fact, as prominent
medical authority says, Every food
that has any food value at all is
fattening If taken in large enough
quantities" Reducing weight" he
goes on to say, means to eat less,
keeping the diet balanced and at
tractive"
Medical authorities are alarmed
at the national craze for reduc-
ing" 1.-The experience of centuries
has shown says celebrated doc
tor, that poorly nourished body
becomes much more quickly subject
to such disorders as anemia, tuber-
culosis, the common cold, or various
types of infection, than does one
properly upholstered. :. The craze
for thinness is an attempt TO modify
the process of nature"
How much more wise and sane 1t
is to eat moderately of all foods
rather than omit the one ingredient
that adds so much to the enjoyment
of eating. Sweetness is natures
ideal flavor. And no other food is
so pure or so cheap as sugar. Eat
plenty of such healthful foods as
cereals, apple sauce, grapefruit and
fresh and canned fruits and vege-
tables of all kindS-sweetened to
taste. Sweetening makes 1t easy to
eat the healthful foods regularly
and daily. Don't overeat, but re-
member 1t is dangerous to undereat.
The sugar way Is the happy way.

before a well filled house Sunday
afternoon. All of the numbers by
both bands e keenly appreciate
ed by the crowd which was the
largest that has ever turned out
for an indoor boys band concert.
During the intermission between
the two parts of the contest,
Director Staples made a few re-
marks, calling attention to the
collection being taken to defray
the expenses of this concert and
help towards the purchase of
music for the state tournament be-
ing put on at jamestown in June.
Needless to say all who attend

performance of the local bands.
The boys conducted themselves in
