The results of the program, he said, is that the Indians are “clothed better, nourished better. and have better prospects for a happy and prosperous future than have any similar group of Florida Seminoles during the past cen- tury.” Scott added that the Indians have shown unusual industry and many of them have more than average mechanical ability. i latagit vw yee Ge ue me: BEY PLAY SAFE— By keeping FOODSTUFFS at the right temperature in one of our ALL METAL ICE REFRIGERATORS These refrigerators are doubly HEAT PROOF and absolutely air tight Priced from $20.00 v Easy Terms—10 Days Free Trial On Display at a man gets too big, he is shunted to some corner pocket, or retired.
