CANADA AND INDIAN AFFAIRS

In Canada, the first and most important idea underlying the administration of Indian affairs is protection; that is, to protect dependent in it's lands, moneys, and it's contact with the con munity. The Magma Charta of the Canadian h. dians is the Proclamation of 1763, which set forth that Indian could be dispossessed of his lands without his consent and the consent of the crown. The reason of Canada's success in the m anage ment of Indians is based that broad prin cple.- Anchorage Daily Times

at a time like this? How can
you desert me with this child in
nv arms? What is to become
Of our little Sam?"
The mans answer was a
Broadway grin. A Broadway
grin, that Is, Of 1911.
THAT" he smiled, sis for you
to figure out. I did not ask
you to become my mistress.
When I took you driving, in my
new Pope-Hartford that after
noon, I didn't ask you to tell
me that you loved me. The
things that have happened are
no ones fault but your own"
The child-wife wrung her
hands.
t"But, Horace" she pleaded,
chow am to live? What am I
to do? What will happen to
our little Sam? What will my
life be without you?"
The man shrugged his shoul-
ders. He had a shrugged pair
of shoulders. too.
That" he replied softly, "is
for you to decide. AS far as I'm
concerned, I'm through. If you
must know the truth, I never
loved you. You always sus-
pected that I loved some one
else. You were right. did.
Threatens Revenge
I'm going to her now. You
hear? When leave this house
in a few moments I will never
see you again. I am not too
much of a cad. My solicitors
will send you sufficient money
for your immediate needs. But
beyond that-nothing."
The unwilling father gave his
mustache a definite pat and
strobe toward the door. He
slipped into his fur coat, placed
his hat upon his head, gave one
last derisive look at the woman
and stepped out into the whirl-
ing snow. The door closed with
a bang.
The gal verged on Mysteries.
Her mouth opened. Her mouth
closed. Her hands opened. Her
hands closed. Suddenly she be-
came quite calm. She held the
child before her and gazed into
its green eyes.
"You," she muttered, shall
be my revenge. Some day, some
how, you will repay Horace for
this horrible thing he has done
to me. I will work for you. I
will slave for you. And then,
when you are old enough to
understand, we will plan for re-
venge.

APPENDICITIS
j. s. SCOURGE

The annual loss Of life from ap-

the highest Of any civilized covn-
try on earth, according to latest
statistics on the disease.
At . conservative estimate, our
present death rate from append
citis is from 18,00O to 2Oy00o
yearly, according to Frederick L.
Hoffman, LID. writing In the
current issue Of the Spectator.
The disease, Mr.. Hoffman as
serts, has increased In relative
frequency from 1874 per 10000
in 1920 to 152 in 1929.
The average age at death in
appendicitis Is 32.4 years, when
the economic value Of the indf
vidual is highest. The average
age at death in tuberculosis in
1920. when the Census Bureau
made its survey, was 36.8 years:
in cancer, 60.7 years. and In
