One million two hundred and thousand mestizos, or mixed from interinurriuges of the whites with the Indians, 000,000 whites, 100,000 negroes, 40,000 Orientals and 2,000,000 Indians. The great problem of Pern Is the problem of the Indian, who Is not only numerically the Importunt fuctor in the country, but Is also virtually the only support of the vast majority of the populntlon, according to the Limn cor respondent of the Christian Science Monitor. It is it common saying that ull Peru lives off the Indian. If the Indian was taken out of Poru to day tho country would suiter until the remaining portion of the population had learned by necessity to cultivate tho land and to make a living. Tho ancient Incn empire, of which Cuzco was the center and the home pf tho IncO kings, extended originally from beyond Quito to the southern coast of Chile, Including what Is now known as Ecuador, Peru and Chile, and these ancient peoples had here a civilization in miuiy respects more ad vanced than that of tho Spanish ad venturers who conquered them. When Plznrro came to Peru thcro were nearly 8,000,000 of these Inhab itant of the Incas' realm In Peru nlone, Industrious, law-abiding, prac ticing progressive arts and having Ir rigated farms, traces of which are still to be seen along the high peaks of the Sierra tablelands. Their old homes and fortresses, their temples and their architecture reveal a state and Quality of knowledge and architectu ral skill resembling that of ancient Egypt. When the Spaniards came, not to colonize so much as to conquer, and exploit, tho Indians were driven from cupy land on the great estates of the Sierras (and there arc often as many as 400 families of Indians who live In these large haciendas, as their fathers have for generations) the own er has the right to demand the labor' of the Indian for virtually any work lie requires and at any time. At time of planting, weeding and harvesting all the Indians are requisitioned to culti vate the great estates, and when the owner wishes to send his produce to market he has simply to call upon his Indians, who respond with their trains of llamas, carrying the produce many leagues to the nearest shipping place without charge to the owner. While this appears at first sight nothing short of slavery conditions, the lot of Indians in these mountains Is not so bad as It might seem. They hnve their own bits of land, which they cultivate assiduously and which yield them a good living, and they huve their own sheep, llamas and alpacas and a certain number of cnttle. Their grazing lands are apportioned to them and they are protected In their rights. There Is no danger of their homes be ing taken from them. In fact, the In dians In the interior are so truly wed ded to tho place where they and their futhers have lived for gen erations that it Is virtually Impossi ble to move them from their homes, arid when the land changes hands they are practically sold with the land, and simply transfer their ulleglunce from one master to another.

An Inside Bath Makes You Look and Feel Fresh Says a glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast keeps Illness away. mm ,w Most Delicious of Supper Parties. This excellent, common-sense health measure being adopted by millions. Physicians the world over recom mend the Inside bath, claiming this Is of vastly more Importance than out side cleanliness, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing 111 health, while the pores In the ten yards of bowels do. Men and women are urged to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of helping to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's Indigestible material, poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purify ing the entire alimentary canal before putting more food Into the stomach. Just as soap and hot water cleanse and freshen the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the dim inutive organs. Those who wake up with bad breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or have a dull, aching head, sallow complexion, acid stomach; others who are subject to bilious attacks or constipation, should obtain a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but la suffi cient to demonstrate the value of In side bathing. Those who continue It each morning are assured of pro nounced results, both in regard to health and appearance. GVSIWINCI TMC POTATO IN FtRU, ITS OR.IQ1NAL HOME, P. N. V.

Now all the lit tle Fairies knew that any sort of a party the Queen of the Fairies gave would be nice, although they did not ex actly know what sort of a party a ginger-bread and ice-cream one would be. "H 0 w do we give a gluger-bread and Ice-cream party?" asked the little Fairies. "Ah, that's my secret," said the Queen of the Fairies. "Does It mean that we are to have ice-cream and ginger-bread for sup per r asked Fatry Ybab. That's probably It," said Fairy Prin cess Twilight-Dell. "It's a pretty good guess," said the Queen of the Fairies. "But it's not the right guess." "Do tell us," said the little Fairies. "All right," said the Queen of the Fairies, "but first of all, before I let you Into the secret, you must go around and ask the guests. I want this to be a big party." "Hurrah," shouted the little Fairies. "Who shall we ask?" "We'll ask the Elves," said the Fairy Queen. "That's good," said the little Fairies. "The Elves are such dears I" "And we'll ask the Brownies too," said the Queen of the Fairies, "Oh, they're such fun," said Fairy Princess Joy. "And, of course, we'll have to ask old Mr. Giant. A Party wouldn't be quite complete without him. And we'll ask Witty Witch." "Let me ask her," shouted Princess Twilight-Bell. And the Fairy Queen consented. "And we'll have the Gnomes and the Goblins," said the Fairy Queen. "Oh, it's to be a great, big party," said Ybab. "Indeed, it is," Bald the Fairy Queen. "I want to have this party tomorrow, so you'd better all start with your In vitations. Then, when you come beck, I'll let you all into the grent ginger bread and Ice-cream party secret. One, two, three, go!" And at that all the Uttle Fairies stnrted off. They carried their Invitations on bits of birch bark, and they were written In letters made out of soft snow and Icicles. They looked very lovely, and the Fairies were proud of taking such invitations. The Fairy Queen had mode them all herself, and there wera lots and lots of them as you can Im agine For every single guest had to have a separate Invitation, and the Fairy Queen had spent a great deal of time over them. This is what the lnvlta tlons said: "The Fairy Queen and the little Fairies invite you to a Ginger-Bread and Ice-Cream Party tomorrow after noon. Come at three o'clock, and most important of all be hungry "The guests were all on tlmo the next afternoon. Not a Fairy was to be seen. "This Is a surprise party," they all exclaimed. Soon, out of the deep woods, came a house made of snow with windows made out of the snow too, and lciclea were hanging from all sides Upon the house were the worda: "Tills may be the last snow and ice day. So let us en joy It while we m a y." These words were writ ten In letters of soft mud, fox there had been a few warm days when the snow bad melted. The Fairy Queen had kept the mud lo a little chest, and had kept a fire burning under It, so the mud would not harden. You may net think W. L.

A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any drug store, but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callous from one's feet Millions of American women will welcome this announce ment since the inauguration of the high heels.

For 60 cents you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use preparation, im proved by the addition of other Ingre dients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound."
