Kfctr STIIX. ttrTfm Commissioner «C Indian Aftln has suggested to several mem bars of Congress the propriety of some legislation which should look at least toward placing the Indians under the Jurisdiction of civil law. The Commis­ sioner and the Congressman with whom be conferred are of the opinion that tbe Indian thorougly understands some of tbe grosser crimes, such as murder, outrage and robbery, and (bat be could readily appreciate tbe law- lessness of such acts if he knew that he Would suffer civil punishment for com­ mitting them. It Is probable that a bill waking this Initiative toward bringing the Indians within the juris­ diction of tbe Courts will toon be pre­ sented. 0QrX?ndoubtedly -one of the most healthful and nourishing articles of di­ et is oiitmeal. When properly cooked and eaten with sugar and cream It forms a dish which most people relish better than meat for breaksaet, and Is much cheaper. Liebtg has chem­ ically demonstrated that oatmeal Is almosts as nutritious as the very best English beef, and that It is mneb rich­ er than wbJateu bread in the elements that go to form bone and mu«cle.
