University of Oregon, Eugene,;
Jlarrh 13. A .school teacher who
shall lie nameless ban just torn' tli
mask with rudeness from the life of
a pedagogue on the Central Oregon
plateau. This teacher, who is also a
homesteader and in spite of it is
either a very conscious or a. very un
coriKcioiiH humoritit, is in the employ
of a" school board in northern Lake
county, SO miles from a railway and
20 miles from the nearest town. Into
lil hands there was put a queation

department tit eduVaUom, which has

betterment of rural wchool conditions.

community could meet the teacher and
learn something of the work being at

teacher could learn the lines of

teacher to accompany the children to

Stone-Age Relics

Skulls and Parts of Four Indians Un
covered During- Course of Excavation
work in Washington.
Arrow, Or., March 20. Skulls and
parts of the skeletons of four Indian's,
two-men and two women, are part of
the find of Fred Egli and Jajmes Sil
ver In what is believed to have been
an om cave on the slop 6f Table
mountain. . Woven grass-mats, so old
they crumbled When disturbed; a col
lection of perforated shells, j believed
to nave Deen usea as beads; arrow
points of flint, ancient stone) weapons
from which the wooden handles and
buckskin thongs had decayed and
crumbled; mortars, pestles and other
utensils of the stone-age Indian also
were found on a ledge of roick above
the earth and stone from Which the'
skulls were taken.
Messrs. Egli and Silver are employed
by the biological survey, ahd have
been carrying on their. work In the
desert country. Sliver Lake valley, and
about the foot of Table mountain all
winter. The ancient burial ground
was found at a place where a great
mass of rock had broken frorii the side
of the mountain. It Is believed this
rocft formerly overhung a dave used
by ancient Indians as a sepulcher.
The skulls and relics will be sent to
the Oregon Historical society.
This find is the third of the kind
in north Lake county within the past
six months. When excavating for an
irrigation dam on the deser land of
Elmer D. Lutz, workmen last winter
plowed into an Indian burial: ground,
uncovering several skulls, j. F. Wy
man also found two skills when
changing the channel of a show creek
through his ranch at the foot of Sum

Wonderful Healing of Rupture

Xuptnrea In Jtltfht Bide.
At an early age, Eugene Tullen was
an express driver, lie handled railroad
baggage. One day after delivering a
heavy trunk on an tipper rioor he iuc
a pain In the rikht groin. The suffer
ing increased and it was not long be
fbre the young man noticed the awell

The doctor told young Pullen that
he was ruptured and that he mubt
either wear a truss throughout life or

surgeons know that hernia operations,
with anaesth'Cs. etc., are dangerous;
they may end fatally. Moreover, it
is a well established fact that many
rupture operations are not successful;
the bowel soon . breaks through th
sewed-up opening and protrudes worse
than ever.
Afraid of Operation.
Like moat othera, Mr. Pullen de
clined to take the rlaks'of an operation:
the expense and loss of time had to be
considered, too. Hoping he might get
a little better encouragement, he went
to another physician, who, to his sor
row, gave him even less hope. It was

less the rupture were perfectly held all
the time or th surgeon's-knife suc
cessfully used, he might expect an In
crease or doubling of the rupture with
further complications, or the dreaded
strangulated hernia which kills so
many ruptured people.
Tlcttat of Trusses,
The victim bought a truss, a hard,
spring-like affair, the best he could
get. It tortured him. He. tried an
other still no relief. He was compelled
to give up hi express business. Th
hard tasks of ordinary men were for
bidden htm. He became an insurance
agent, in which position he did not
need to do bodily work.
For six .years Mr. Pullen dragged
around, using various trusses, hard,
elastic etc., with never any content
ment. On day his mother told him
something ah had juat found out. It
was a simple and eaay thing for Mrtj
to do. He lost no time.

Relief came at once; he almost for
got that he had any rupture. After
ward came a cure a complete healing
and, although years have passed and

He knows he Is completely, lastingly
cured. Ther was no operation, no Icat
