Within the comparatively short time ot three one one-naif years Uncle Sam has set up machinery to aid home owners rivaling any of the other vast and intricate governmen tal mechanisms.

They are the primitive Cree Indians who live around James Bay in northern Canada. Rarity of these diseases, two ot which, cancer and heart disease, are the leading causes of death in the United States, was noted among the Crees by the Rev. Dr. John M. Cooper, anthropologist of Catholic University of America, who has just returned from the north after a summer spent there. He has no explanation for their freedom from these diseases except possibly their way of living. The Crees still live much as did their aaeestors before the comic? of the white mart. They suffer considerably from tuberculosis, however, and the Infant mortality rate ia high, t-'se Medicinal Kerb Dr. Cooper brought back with him for study a large collection of herbs used by the Cree la treating the sick, which they believe are superior to the white man's medicines. The Crees value the herbs for their actual curative properties, and not for any magical potency. They understand the idea of Infection and some of their herbs are good antiseptic, Dr. Cooper said. The Crees apparently had no ideas of as evil spirit such as the devil or of belt, until Christian teachings were brought to them by mission aries. Dr. Cooper discovered this in the course of a study of the Indians' own religious beliefs.

Turkish tobaccos are famous for their spicy aroma, and a blend of the right kinds of Turk ish tobacco with our own home, grown tobaccos is better than any one kind used alone.
