BARBER POLE AS TOMBSTONE
Indian Insicted on Placing Headstone
of His Own Choice Over Grave of
His Dead Squaw.
Here Is a ourious'story of Indian sim
plicity. as related by an official of the
Indian bureau at Washington, says the
Los Angeles Times.
On the Navajo reservation great ef
forts had ut one time been made to in
duce the Indians to abandon their cus
tom of leaving the bodies of their dead
above ground, and to adopt the white
man's system of hurlul.
The agent's success wus encouraging
and arrangements were made by which
the government should supply neat
headstones. A stock of them was laid
in, and soon after they arrived a tall
Navajo appeared. He bad lost his
squaw and wished a headstone. He
looked the collection over, bat said
"No, no!” to each one.
"If you will tell me what you want,
I will try to get one,” said the agent.
"Want United States tombstone,"
said the Navajo.
The agent made every effort to find
out w’hat was meant, but the redmnn
would only respond, "United States
tombstone.”
At Inst the agent, fearing that the
man’s disappointment might result un
favorably to the scheme for Introduc
ing white men’s burial methods, gave
tie* Indian some money and told him t»*
go and buy the kind of gravestone he
liked.
Sometime afterward n party of hunt
ers came Into the agency. They had
been to the lodge of the tall Navajo
who had just lost his wife, and hud
seen her grave, am at the head <lf it
was posted a red-and-white bnrbers’
pole!
This was the Navajo's idea of a
United States tombstone.” It was as
near ns he could come to a gravestone
bearing the natlonul colors, and us ho
wus a very putriotle Indian, he wus
content.

An Easy Way to Reduce
Flesh
Driak Hot Water and Take Tassco
Haven't you often wished for a
medicine to reduce your flesh? Some
thing that does not require dieting or
calisthenics? Well, right here you
have it in 5-grain tassco tablets,
which you may secure at T. L. Rob
erts, Pinehurst. They are pleasant
to take, perfectly harmless and cause
no restrictions of habit or eating, and
reduce the flesh, little by little, un
til you are down to the number of
pounds you wish to weigh. Too much
flesh is undesirable, as most quite
stout people will readily admit, and
it detracts from one's good appear
ance; makes one clumsy and short of
breath.
There isn’t any reason why any
one should be too stout, when there’s
this much-tried,, perfectly satisfac
tory remedy at T. L. Roberts, Pine-
hurst. Tassco tablets (don’t forget
the name) are recommended by phy- j
siciana and are ‘guaranteed to be per- I
fectly harmless. Refuse substitutes,!
if you can not come to our store, we |
will mail 'tassco to you.

MAN SHOULD LIVE 100 YEARS
Spanish Irishmen.
A recent writer draws attention to
the connection which has long existed
between Ireland and Spain. In the
days of the "Wild Geese,” when Irish
men were carving out futures for them
selves as soldiers of fortune In many
lands, they went in large numbers to
Spain. Then again large numbers of
Irish men nnd women, many of them
belonging to well-known families, emi
grated to Spain in the early days of the
nineteenth century. All these Immi
grants were adopted by the country,
and they adopted It, whole-heartedly;
so whole-heartedly, indeed, that, as
the writer already referred to pointed
out. hardly any of their present repre
sentatives speak English, at any rate
as a "native tongue,” nlid they have
lost all touch with Irish life. They
have retained their names, however,
unaltered, and in the Spanish army
list are to be found many such names
as O’Connor, O’Neil, O’Donnell, Shaw,
and so on.—Christian Science Moni

Value of "Push."
One man with "push" is better than
an army of Idldrs. The mob lacks
ideals and direction without the mao to

them regain lost prestige. It's the man

The old busluess may huve been known
for generations, but It must be coutlnu

tions. It takes a man of push and dare
to depart from the old lines und

Thera Is more Catarrh In this section
of tho country than -J1 other diseases

posed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly foiling

it Incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional con
ditions and therefore requires constitu

That He Usually Reaches Only Half or
Three-Quarters That Age la Hia
Own Fault, It la Declared.
Sickness nnd death have always ex
isted in the world and always will so
long ns man’s physical constitution re
mains whnt It Is. The body is evident
ly Intended to last only a certain time,
although mun himself hns unquestion
ably greatly shortened the length of Its
durance. The limit of threescore years
and ten, set by the Psalmist, deprives
us of many years that are our due.
, Students of longevity have estab
lished the rule that the animal body,
Including man’s, should endnre, barring
accident, five times as long as It takes
It to reach full maturity, as marked by
the complete ossification of the bones.
In man that period Is about twenty
years, and man should, therefore, live
to round out a century. That he usual
ly lives only a half or three-quarters
as long Is his fault and the fault of his
ancestors.
A French writer once asserted that a
man Is as old as his arteries, meaning
that tho degenerative changes of old
age were dependent upon or measur
able by the degree of hardening of the
arteries. That Is undoubtedly true to
a certain extent, but epigrams do not
•^Ive problems or even explain facts.
Iz affords slight comfort to know that
we are as old as our arteries if we do
not know how to prevent them from,
aging prematurely.
Fortunately, we do know many of
the causes of the presenlle degenera
tion fhat cuts us off before our time.
Heredity counts for much. Some fam
ilies are long-lived; In others, most or
all of the members die young. That
sounds hopeless, yet we can do much
by hygienic living to lengthen out days-
even if we come of a short-lived fam
ily. More than that, we can transmit
to our descendants a. still higher de
gree of stamina. The other causes of
early aging may be summed up In the
one word excess—overwork, mental or
physical, worry, overeating and even
oversleeping. Moderation (not Insuffi
ciency) In all things—eating, drinking,
working, playing, sleeping—Is the se
cret of health and longevity.—Youth’s
Companion.
