uad helped to produce this fruit, and
they could eat it without sin. Their
prophet had phophesied that on their
arrival at Yorktown their babies would
be taken from them, and they gave
them up willingly. for they take the
voice of their prophet as the voice OF
God.
Hitherto the Doukhobors have not
been propagandists, and they have not
sought to extend their faith among
their Canadian neighbors. Now they
are missionaries and have invited out
siders to join them, thus offering a
| chance to homestead the fertile lands
reserved for exclusive settlement by
Doukhobors in all the years they have
been in Manitoba.
The Doukhobors, who emigrated TO
| Canada from the Caucasus in 1899,
! left Russia because of the persecution
to which they were subjected. Their
name signifies spirit wrestler ana
was used as long ago as 1888. AT that
. time certain members OF the Greek
church who objected to the use or
icons were called "iconobors," or I'M
age wrestlers. Then the term do
Khobor," or spirit wrestler, was used
to designate those whom the orthodox
Russians regarded as wrestling against
the Holy Spirit. Like the terms Quak-
er and Methodist in England, the nick
name adhered to the sect and came
into general use.

hobors were subjected aroused an in
tense religious feeling among them.
One of their tenets was vegetarianism,
but after they settled in Canada many
of them returned to the use of fish and
meat. Some of them, however, repudi-
ated not only the use of meat, but
went so far as to say it was wrong to
enslave domestic animals and turned
them free.
A recent English writer said of the
sect:
1.-THE present circumstances of the
Doukhobors are such as to suggest the
possibility of the sect disintegrating
or at least dividing into two or more
separate bodies. Such splits have &C.
Cured in the past and may occur
again. at the present time, besides
the question of vegetarianiSm and the
use Of domestic animals, there is great
divergence of practice in the matter Of
communism. Some villages are more
or less strictly communistic. other viii
lagos are on an individualistic basis,
while some Doukhobor families have
settled on their own separate home
Steads," and considerable number
have established themselves in the
towns. where they get living as car
Oenters and blacksmiths Every Douk-
hobor knows some handicraft, and one
possible solution of the cattle question
is that those who believe it to be wrong
to use domestic animals will move into
the towns and remain there.
ut is such an unusual thing nova
days to come across any considerable
body Of men who are willing to risk
their material prosperity for the sake
of their principles that the interest
aroused by the mad colony" is nat
ural enough The DoukhobOrs have
undoubtedly given some trouble to the
Canadian government, and they have
at times shown cantankerous spirit
which has disappointed some of those
who took part in arranging their mi
grafton from Russia; but, looked at all
around and fairly judged, they are
very worthy folk, Industrious sober,
honest and taking their religion seri-
ously as a thing that should guide
their practical life"

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and LOG
years ago.
Salt pork is good if man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulSionis themod-
ern method Of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phiteS in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.
