In" "tllans of the United States can no longer be called a vanishing race. Figures presented to congress dur- ing the present session by Charles H. "Burke, the commissioner of In- affairs, show that th-e Indian population lias materially increased during the past 10 jears. There now about 341,000 Indians in country, half of them full 'bloods, and one-third of the rest more than half-bloods. Slowly but surely science and careful medical attention is cutting down the mortality which for so many years th-e (Hans suffered after coming- in contact with the diseases of the white man.

Shaw, 3227 Walnfet Street, Chicago, Illinois. "I had fe- male weakness so badly that I could not stand on my feet. Half of my time was spent in bed and I had pains in my back which were unbearable. I tried everything I could think of to help myself, and when a friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I began taking it at once.

it without 32.24 per thousand: in 1920 it was 22 So. The birth rate is now moie than keeping pace vuth tho death rate. At the beginning of (he present century the government had prc- only hospitals lor the whole Indian population. Today there are 7S Indian hospitals, and tlie goveinment is gmng treatment to more than 20,000 Indian patients year. The red man is particularly susceptible to tuberculosis, 25,000 of them bein? more or less aflicted with it.

An. even greater number have the disease of the eyes known trachoma. Ten years ago the government spent 540,000 a year in health woik among- the Indians. This year the medical and health appropiiation is 5370,000. The Indians fuiteJ States are also rapidly becoming independent citizens, losing their status of wards of the government.

One-third of them have been released entirely from the supervision of the Indian bureau, while -still another third are citizens with full oting rights, although the guardianship of the government over them has not "been relinquished. i Xearly 1.000,000 acres of land are now being farmed by about 43,000 Indians. Both the area faria- ed and.the number of Indian farmers have nearly doubled in 10 years. Fifty thousand Indian families are now living in houses of permanent construction, while only 10.000 families still cling to- their tents, tepees, and wickiups. Indian Rarely Retrogrades Commissioner Burke disputed the common, idea that after an Indian has been given an education, he promptly goes back to the reservation, drops his civilization along with his store clothes, and promptly resumes the blanket.

The commissioner is a man of long experience -with the aborigines, and he declared that the Indian who retrogrades is a rarity. The of the Indians is now- close to or al-j most $3,000 per capita. Their tribal and individual protected funds deposited in the treasury or in banks amount 60,000,000. The Osages constitute the wealthiest tribe, for on their lands in Oklahoma is located the richest oil field in the United States. The Oherokees originally owned this land.

Away back in' 1883 when automobiles were not yet invented and the demand for was small, the crafty Cherokees thought they had turned a neat piece of business when they suc- ceeded iu bcllmjr this aioa to the Osages lor an acre. After the purchase was made, all mineral lights in tho lands were reserved to tho Csage tribe as a whole. AVheii oil was discovered in tho Osage country, the iudhiduals of this tribe, whether they individually happened to be occupying oil land or not, immediately rich. Every Osage shares equally the royalties and bonuses paid by the oil operators. Last year alone each enrolled.

Osuge recon ed $10,000 in royalties, and certain largo families with ous children, ilrew an income as high as for the year. One sale of oil leases brought the tribe i $7,000,000 in bonuses at rates up to an acre, and they will draw royalties on every barrel of oil produced under the leases. The total oil production on the Osage reservation last year came to 29,000,000 barrels. Other Indians in Oklahoma did not secure to their tribes the mineral rights of their lands, but let them go to the individual Indians to whom tho tracts were allotted. The result is that some of these individual Indians have immense oil royalties, while others find themselves occupying only agricultural lauds.

There were instances last year of single Creek Indians who leceived as much as $50,000 in royalties. One Lucky Red Man The classic example in Oklahoma of a lucky Indian is a Creek whose name is Jackson Barnett. Creek Indians made their own selections of land to occupy as individuals, as a rule, but because of some dissatisfaction or other, Barnett refused select any. The government theie- fora arbitrarily allotted a tract LOSE YOUR FAT, KEEP YOUR HEALTH Superfluous flesh is not healthy, neither is it healthy to diet or exercise too much'for its removal.

Naturally, since the othsr Creeks made selections for themselves, only the poor land was left it came time for th-e government TO make the arbitrary allotments. Barnett's piece was practically worthless as farm land. Tears passed, and then prospecting Today Ear- aett's farm is one of the richest oil allotments in Oklahoma. Barnett has more than in Liberty bonds, and he has other property valued at $2,000,000.

One of the problems which the Indian office is trying to work out is that of educating- the Navajo Indian children. There are several thousand of these children, and the government is signatory to a solemn treaty promising to educate them. But the tribe itself is nomadic, moving from place lo place year after year. The" onp school that would seem to suit them best would be a portable school that could more along on its wheels with each section of the tribe it This, however, is not regarded as practicable. Boarding schools to which the children, could be sent for niontl-s at a time would be the best solution, except for the fact that the Indian parents do not like the system.

They believe in putting their children to work almost as soon as they can walk. The bureau has 5200,000 with -whidk to find a solution. A ers Questions An? reader can answer to any question by wilt- Ins the Iowa City Information Bureau. Frederic J. HasKIn.

Q. How high from the floor should a kitchen sink be F. A. O. A.

It depends upon the height of the worker. Every tuirface should be at least high enough 1,0 that the palms of the hands will rest on the surface when the person stands erect. For a woman 5 feet 5 inches tall working surfaces should be inches from the Sitting on a stool at sink or table is restful and makes their height unimportant, Q.What kind of twine should be used for tying wool fleece? A. D. A.

Paper jute twine should be us-ed. Strings of jute, hemp or sisal, when withdrawn, from the fleeces, leave particles in. the wool. As these are vegetable fibre and wool is animal fibre, the- dye will not. affect them alike.

Paper twine is easily and completely removed during th-e scouring process. Q. Where does blackboard slate come from? R. C. V.

A. Tie bureau of mines says that slate suitable for blackboards must be soft and fine-grained. Such slate is obtained from what is known as the "soft-vein" region of Lehigh and Northampton counties. Pa. This comparatively small area, not over 22 miles long, comprises 1 the best if not the only good, blackboard slate deposits in the i world.

Q. How Aif Pennsylvania Dutch originate? H. R. T. A.

During the eighteenth century. Pennsylvania was a refuge for European immigrants. No oth- 'er colony had so many different races and religions: Dutch, Swedes, Germans, Welsh and Irish; Quakers, Presbyterians, Catholics, Lutherans JVfennonites and Moravians. Many communities 'have a dialect showing traces of many of these languages--particularly Rhenp-Franconian German --which is known as Pennsylvania Dutch.
