Those who think that the day of
the Indian Is done, and picture him as
a pathetic mlaltt, slow-
ly fnillug Into the sun-
set, should visit the
lllackfeet and their
chief, Two Guns
White Calf.
Here I* Ihe roost
traveled Indian In Ihe
world today, and the
best known. Hid fa-
ther, White Coif, the
last lineal thief <>f the
Hlaekfeet, was a
warm friend of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. and It
was during a visit to
him la Washington that the Great
Spirit summoned hint. President
Hoosevelt seni the body of White Calf
back to his people In * private ear
with a military earort—honors which
the lllitokfeet deeply appreciated.
Two flnns did not choose to shine
by Ills father's tjght. He coold have
made a wistful figure as the son of
the last great rhlcf, living In the glo-
ries of the past.- Hut Two (tuna la a
modern. There Is, he finds, a great
deal to Interest an Indian In the pres-
ent day, and be Intends to sec and
learn all about It For the last twenty
yearn, the famous Blaokfoot has been
enjoying a unique life, for an Indian,
and no doubt he will continue to do so.
In 1912, a group of Indiana, of which
Two Guns was one, went Eaqt. The
striking sppearai.ee of the chief at-
tracted Instant attention, and hie un-
usual mental qualities brought him to
the fore as a man well worth featur-
ing. The hand was quartered In tipis
on the roof of a New York hotel, then
the highest hotel building In the world,
and crowds [mured up to see the pic-
turesque folk and their especially pic-
turesque leader, who was as much at
home on the skyscraper roof as he was
In hi* own camp by the peaceful lake.
Two Guns was the first Indian to go
up in a plane. During this eastern
trip, he was taken up In a hydroplane
nr Dodd s Ferry, on the Hudson. As
the spirits of dead and gone Hlaekfeet
watched from tlielr happy hunting
grounds In the land Beyond, were
they outraged at hi* daring? I doubt
It; more prohnbly. they nodded their
ghostly heads In npproval, and said.
"He It our own brave son—a true
Blackfoot"
Queen Mari* of Romania, daring her
American visit, stopped ro greet Two
Guns on hit reservation. Bnrety no
more striking picture than this could
he Imagined: the gracious royal lady
and the stately and striking indlnn
chief, exchanging courtesies to the
music of drum beats, before s back-
ground of tipis, war-bonnets, and ptnto
ponies. It Is not recorded that Two
Guns lacked one whit of the poise of
bia queenly guest.
Beptember 17, 192T, found this most
sophisticated Indian at the White
House? The Great White Father, Pres-
ident Coolldge, and the great red
rhlef. Two Guns, met aa leader* of
their people should meet—ceremonial-
ly and with courtesy. Presidents and
chief* have met before. It Is true, since
the days of Washington, bat never be-
fore ha* their meetlog been on such
equal terms.
There It nothing of tbs taciturn In-
dian of legend about Two Guns White
Calf. The chief has a ready sense of
humor, and enjoys a hearty laugh,
even at his own expense. He likes to
meet people, and to be In large gath-
ering*, and he naturally dominates any
crowd.
Unusual In his character aa Two
Guns Is, In appearance he I* the typ-
ical Indian. His head reminds one of
a buffalo'* His strikingly fine
physique, garbed In the picturesque
clothing of his trlba, la an eys-filllng
sight. His good-nature does not dis-
guise the strength of character which
oae feels It hit chief attribute.
Examine a buffalo nickel, and com-
pare It with the photograph. While
the Indian besd shown on th* coin I* t
composite picture, th* likeness to Two
(Inns Is apparent. II* might have
been the "InvtsIWs model" for the head
evidently he stood out strikingly In
th* artist's mind.
And It I* fitting that Two Qaa*« It ho
neas should gdorn the coin. The old
order Its* changed, srnl only t mod-
ern Indian, alive to the interest* of th*
modern world, would represent ths
first families of America at the pres-

hut that the people, because of lark
of faith, made the request There wnt
a threefold purpose In tending out the
spies:
1. To see whether the land was as
God had told them (v. 181.
2. To see whether the people who
dwelt there were strong ot weak, few
or many (v. 18),
8. And to see whether the cities
were made up of strongholds or of
tents (r. 1ft).
II. Ths Commission Executed (13:

They entered the land from the
south and traversed It to Its northern
limits On their return they gathered
some specimens of fruit
HI. Th* Spies Rendered Report*
(13:26-33).
OH their return this committee of
explorers rendered both a majority
and minority report to the entire con-
gregation (v. 2fl).
1. The majority, report (vv. 2tV2ftl.
a. 'The land flowetb with milk and
honey" (v. 27).
b. The people who live there are
strong <v. 28).
e. The people live In walled cities
(v. 28).
d. The land (s Inhabited hy giants
(v. 28 cf. v. 88). In comparison with
the Inhabitants they saw themselves
as grasshoppers. Furthermore, thdy
saw the people so distributed that it
seemed Impossible to conquer them.
2. The minority report (tt. 30-83).
This report In part agreed with the
first It did not Ignore the difficulties
nor dispute the facta, bnt it did deny
the conclusion of the majority They did
not minimize the taak hefore them,
but asserted that with God's help they
were well able to get possession of
the land, and therefore urged Imme-
diate action.
IV. The Rebellion of th* People.
(14:1-44).
1. This rebellion began by crying
(vv. 1-3). They even wished that they
had died In the wilderness or In Egypt.
Ood took them at their word. H# sent
them hack to wander In the wilderness
for thirty-eight yearn, during which
time all of that generation died ex
oept Caleb and Joshua.
2. Proposition to return to Egypt
(vv. 4-10). They proposed to select
■ eaptaln as their leader. Joshua and
Caleb protented against this, which ao
exasperated the people that they were
about to stone them when God mani-
fested his glory before all Israel In
vindication of the loyalty of Joahua
find Caleb.
a God’s smith upon the peopl*
(vy. 11, 12). Because of their unbe
lief Ood purposed to smite them with
pestilence, disinherit them, and tup
plant them with a nation mightier
than they.
4. Moses' Intercession In behalf of
th* people (rv. 1S-1PI. Moses plead
with Ood against this Jtfdgntent be-
cause the Egyptian* would hear af It
and blaspheme and this they would
para on to the other nations, saying
that God waa aot able to bring them
Into th* land
A The Lord's response to Moaes'
plea (vv. 20-BU) He tenured Moses
that he had granted pardon according
to hi* Intercession but told him that
although be would bring them Into the
land according to hts promise, yet with
the exception of Joshua and Caleb the
men of that generation should be d®
barred.

Can a baby thrive like that, if his mother’s
milk fails ?
Millions of mothers nod a beaming
“Yes!” For millions of mothers in America
have had proof in their own homes that
Eagle Brand builds wonderfully sturdy
babies—babies that grow to be men and
women of fine physique, outstanding
health.
And recently, two famous baby special-
ists put Eagle Brand to one of the most
searching tests that modern science has
ever given a baby food. They fed fifty aver-
age infants on Eagle Brand* for a period
of months, comparing results with other
groups of babies similarly fed on other
foods. They tested these babies’ progress
with the X-ray, 4vith blood counts, with
measuring, weighing, every modern check
on growing structure, growing strength.
And measured by every scientific test,
the result was favorable to Eagle Brand.
These Eagle Brand babies showed them-
selves superbly nourished—lacking in
nothing that makes for future health and
stamina. Eagle Brand* had proved itself
equal in every way to the building cl
1004$ babies!
You see, Eagle Brand is wonderfully
easy to digest—second only to mother’s #
milk in easy digestibility. Every drop goes
quickly into the making of bones and teeth*
tissue and muscle, energy and strength.
Eagle Brand is easily prepared-yon
merely add boiled water. See direction*
on the label. Eagle Brand is free from dan-
gerous germs—safe for your baby. It keep*
indefinitely in the can. And can be obtained
at any grocer's.
Send for a free copy of “Baby’s W elf are”
—an 80-page booklet on feeding and car#
ing for baby. It gives you pictures and
histories of a number of Eagle Brand babies.
And let us send your physician a report of
the scientific test we have described.
