AS the bottoms of the feet commenced to heal, a strip of skin, one inch wide and one and half inches long, was cut from the vertex of the scalp. This caused severe bleeding, which was checked by applying dried, routed spruce powder, raw halibut or clay packs (glacier mud). These remedies were considered the best known astringents.

The gall stone operation is omitted, as it appears to the writer to be propria qual maribuS. < Trachoma and conjunctivitiS neglected eye diseases, a bear bone was whittled down to fine point and beginning at the outer edge of the eye to the bridge of the nose, above and below, barely missing the eyeball, was pierced to the bone, the cure being left to nature. During this trying or deal, the patient was given a spruce limb, so as not to bite the tongue.
 Headaches, skin was pierced to the bone, below the temple on the affected side, and after bleeding was dressed with down. (The chukchees and canshadalls of Si- beria, used blue clay. glacier mud, as a dressing). Small veins were lifted and bled in severe cases.
 Coughs and sore threats, patients were bled from under the tongue, sublingual veins; stomach aches, from legs and arms. Bad blood was judged by it's color, and was also taken as a prognosis of i'm pending death.

Rico had a treasury surplus in the fiscal
year ended June 80, Gov Theodore
Roosevelt's second annual report dis
closed today.
Conditions In general are somewhat
better In the island, the report said.
UNEMPLOYMENT has decreased, health
conditions have been improved, there
was a larger trade balance and all the
important island banks improved their
positions during the year.
The general government policies are
sound, the Governor wrote, and If they
are pursued and developed they will
solve the islands problems.
Porto Rico must, however continue
to "realize funds from private contribu-
lions in the States for our school lunch
rooms and milk stations, or these must
be closed with the disastrous results to
the health Of the children" the report
stated.
The people of the United States, the
Governor wrote, must not neglect their
fellow citizens In Porto Rico "aS they

"They should remember" his report
states, that Porto Ricans are Amer
lean citizens just as are the residents
of any State in the Union, and they are

DIR. Frederick w. Hodge was talking
about the remarkable eyesight of Zuni
Indians. He said that when he was
digging at Hawikuh, he had some In
dian workman. They were impressed
with the idea that nothing in the dirt
removed, no matter how small or how
useless looking, was to be thrown
away. One member of the party had
Indigestion and carried some soda
minis in his pocket. One of these lit
tie tablets became so soiled that he
tossed it aside. A Zuni, with horses
and scraper, was removing loose top
soil. When he dumped the scraper at
the refuse heap he saw the soda mint,
picked it up and brought it back.
Again it was thrown away, and again
the Indian retrieved it. When this
happened third time, the owner Of
the mint bored a hole three feet deep,
dropped the pellet in, and sifted earth
in on top of it. This appeared to be
the only manner in which he could get
rid of it.

To Be an "Absalom"

To Be an "Absalom"
THE most objectionable sin of
Il them all-the offense than which
hardly any other was considered more
grave-an epithet than which none
could be more scathing-such Is the
significance which attaches to the man
who is an "Absalom," who is. in other
words, an undutiful son.
For the origin of this expression, we
must go to the Bible Oh SamueD,
source of so many of the phrases that
all unknowingly we moderns let slip
glibly from our lips.
And the allusion is to Absalom-
needless, disobedient headstrong, heart
breaking Absalom, son of David, about
whom David wept the bitter tears of
a grieving parent.
In 1861 Dryden wrote famous
satire entitled "Absalom and Achito-
phel." This achieved considerable
fame, particularly because 1t was
known that in it Absalom represented
