In every possible way not only by the cure
of disease but by It prevention and the
building up of strong bodies; second. In
dustrial and farming work and day labor
ing. If w can accomplish these two thing
we shall solve the Indian problem, make
the Indian self-supporting and self-respecting
and fitted to be a taxpayer."
This was the statement last night of

Indian reservations he has visited during

Mr. Valentine emphasized the efforts be

FIGHTING BOB AND COL
CODY GUESTS OF HONOR
Newspaper Mem of Portland, Ore.,
Break Bread with Two
Fighters.
Rear Admiral Robley D, "Fighting Bob,"
Evans and Colonel W. F. Cody greeted
each other In a remarkable meeting at a
Portland, Ore., banquet Sunday evening,
according ' to a report. The two distin
guished men were guests, with a big gather
ing of newspaper writers at a banquet
given by the Portland Commercial club.
One a scout of the sea, the other a
scout of the land, and both the heroes of
famous victories, the aged warriors formed
a strong friendship within a few minutes
after their remarkable meeting.
There were elghty-slx newspaper men In
the gathering, the largest number of such
craftsmen that was ever brought together
on a festive occasion In Portland. This
unusual attendance of scribes was made
possible by reason of the time set for Its
occurrence. Sunday noon Is the only hour
at which at least a portion of the news
paper men are not at work, and was
chosen so that the most men of the profes
sion might be got together.
Rear Admiral Evans was Introduced as
on of the five men whose names stand
out pre-eminent In the annala of the Ameri
can navy. He delivered a short address In
which he pointed out the need for a fleet
of battleships on the coast. The naval man
declared the coast populntlon was resting
In peace because Its neighbors are peace
ful. "If your neighbors were not peaceful,"
he raid, "you would be like a lot of Jelly
fish. This count) y needs a fleet of formlda
ble ships, with a compliment of colliers and
supply stations along its coast In order
to be safe."
. "Buffalo Bill," responded to a toast by
telling several very amusing stories re
lating to his early life on the plains.

DLQQD DISEASES
CONTAGIOUS TROUBLES
Contagious Blood Poison more
thoroughly permeates the system than
any other disease. Its infectious virus
contaminates every corpuscle and
tissue of the circulation, and for this
reason its symptoms are of a varied
nature. When it enters the blood it
is but a short time until the mouth
and throat begin to ulcerate, the skin
becomes spotted, rashes and eruptions
appear on the body, sores and ulcers
break out, the hair falls, and fre
quently nails on hands and feet thick
en and come off. Mineral medicines
which simply shut the poison up in
the system should be avoided, for when
such treatment is left off the old dis
ease will break out again, often worse
than before. S. S. S. cures Contagious
Blood Poison permanently, and it does
so because it thoroughly purines the
blood. S. S. S.
goes into the
circulation, and
drives out the
last trace of the
destructive
germs, adds
. richness and
vigor to the cir
culation and
allows it to nourish the diseased por
tions of the body back to health.
S. S. S. is purely vegetable, being
made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, without a particle of mineral,
and its vegetable ingredient always
hasten the cure by toning up the
stomach and digestive members.

Engineers Meet
to Discuss River
Will Try 'New Method of Keeping
the Missouri Kiver
Straight
New methods of Improving the Missouri
river will doubtless be tried between
Omaha and Plattsmouth following a meet
ing of the board of engineers to be held
here October 10. These are the cable and
sand methods, which it is hoped will cause
the stream to retain its channel with suffi
cient water to Insure safe navigation.
Notice of this meeting is being given out
by Major Edward H. Schuls ot the en
gineering corps, who Invites all Interested
persons to attend or to send any communi
cations they may desire on the plan pro
posed. Besides Major Schula, Majors Charles
Keller and M. L. Walker of the United
States army corps of engineers will be
present. The official call announces the
meeting Is for the purpose of "considering
and reporting upon cable and sand methods
of river Improvement with a view to trial
between Omaha and Plattsmouth."
As this la believed to be the first step
toward practical Improvement of the
stream Omaha members of the Missouri
River Navigation congress are taking an
Interest in the meeting of the engineering
board and every local member will be
asked to attend the meeting In the army
engineer's office at 9:30 a. m. October 10.
Not .OS also will be sent out by Will A.
Cairrpbell, secretary of the Missouri River
Navigation congress, to the river enthusi
asts in Nebraska, especially in Nebraska
City and Plk..smouth.
As has been announced, Major Schul
has been placed at the head of the Im
provement work and will devote his entire
time to this duty, a successor having been
appointed to take active charge of the river
for its enure length so that Major Schuls
might devote his time to the Improvements
authorised by congress on the lower river.
