well known that the tribes who drink
1t are immune from consumption. Kou.

A famous English physician, Sir

consider the latter superior. When 1t

still better"
According to Professor Metchnikoff,
sour milk or buttermilk is a sort OF

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade" says:
Industrial, commercial and agricul'
tural progress continue satisfactory.
Nothing has occurred to weaken con-
fdence, the disposition being to extend
plans further into the future, and many
plants have their facilities engaged well
into next year. AS demand broadens
there is natural tendency to enlarge
capacity, which adds to the already ex-
ceptional structural activity.
'Jobbers have secured much more for
ward business than at this date last
year, especially in dry goods lines, and
the frequent reminders of autumn tenn
perature stimulate retail distribution of
wearing apparel.
"Thus far the weather has not been
cold enough to harm the crops that re-
main to be harvested, and another week
of favorable conditions should insure
an unprecedented yield of corn.
Railway earnings thus far reported
for September were 81 per cent. larger
than last years.
Each week brings better news from
the iron and steel industry, demand
broadening and production keeping pace.
Failures this week numbered Io4 in
the United States, against ga last year,
and 20 in Canada, compared with FL a
year ago"
Bradstreet's says the wheat, including
-four, exports for the week are I,6S2,4o4
bushels, against I,Io42I5 last week, o35,-
834 this week last year, I,ooo,o83 in 1903,

How Owls CAUGHT Chic kens.

When was chunk of hoy | shot
a horned owl, the spread OF whose
wings was Az feet, and to the sur
prise of the boy who had carried 1t Tor
several miles the weight was only
four pounds.
They were rather numerous at that
time in that section of the country,
and were troublesome about carrying
of chickens, which mostly roasted in
apple trees about the farm buildings.
The belief that they could carry away
full grown hens was a common one.
1t was also commonly believed that
an owl never picked chicken off the
roost. but, alighting on the limb,
crowded the chickens off, and as it
flew toward the ground caught it on
the wing.-Forest and Stream.

FISHING IN ARIZONA
Methods of Evading the Stringent Game
Laws of the State.

Laws of the State.
The fish and game law of the Ter
ritory will have to be remOdeled by
the next Legislature in order to make
il q little more liberal AS it stands
now John StrOehle and several other
sportsmen are technical vioIatOrs Of 1t.
On Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Stroehle
and several others were fishing below
the city. Mr.. Stroehle was armed with
fish spear with which lie intended
TO violate the INV, but he never got
the chance.
While he was w.ading about in the
water looking for a victim monster
fish rushed by and M. Stroehle hurled
his spear and missed. The water was
not very deep. and Mr.. Stroehie
seized the fish by the tail and held on.
Just then small boy with pitch-
fork came splashing throue b the water
and set Up claim to the fish. SAID
he: II been chasin' that b'A' med hsh
all afternoon and had him IA n down
when you ketched him. You ouion {
never "a done il if he'd been free 81.
The violent and successful seizure OF
that fish by the tail is as technical a
violation Of the law as If Mr.. StroehAe
had used dynamite, for, according to
the statutes. fish may be taken only
with "a hook and line" Stroehle was
provided with none of these lawfGl
means Of catching fish.
The same day Deputy Sheriff Wayne
Davis was fishing at the same place
He had hook and line. and it was
very nice and expensive line, too nice
to be spoiled by exposure to wet wealth
er. Mr.. Davis also had pitchfork'
with which he jabbed at fish, with
the result>that the tines OF the FORK
straddled him and held him down
against the sand until Mr.. Davis could
insert his fingers In the gills and ex-
tract him from the water. Though
the fish was not actually punctured by
the fork, still here was violation Oh
the law, for the hook and line had
played no part in the capture. Ii Mr..
Davis. after catching the fish, had In
serted the hook in his mouth. the form
of the statute would have been COM
piled with.
Soon after that Mr.. Davis caught an
other fish by the simple process or fail'
ing OH him. The law is silent regard
ing this method of catching fish, but
the act might be brought under the
head of cruelty to animals The dep.

AMBITION As A TONIC.
Il Is Well, Occasionally, to Depart
from, the Beaten Track,

The world is full of "beatsn-track
people who exist exactly after the
fashion of millions Of men and women
who have preceded them. New ideas,
new methods, new undertakings are
alien to them, and to move them out
of the beaten track would require lit.
tie less than moral or material cy.
clone. Their gait is plodding, and
their motto, Let we'll enough alone"
These people have their uses, no
doubt in the general scheme of things
mundane. They are important factors
in making life severe discipline
They hold In check the enthusiastic
progressive and original people who
would otherwise run this poor old
world too swiftly.
Granted their usefulness, 1t might
be possible, and would surely be ad.
vantageous, for smaller number OF
beaten-track people to serve the pur.
poses Tor which they exist; and some
power evoked to transform the ma.
Jority OF them into progressive and
enthusiastic citizens of the world.
Their numbers have far outgrown
the needs, while the ranks of the ad.
vance guard Of humanity have grown
thin.
Our attitude toward the sluggish
and satisfied people ought to be one
OF pity rather than scorn, perhaps, for
they are generally the product of un-
toward circumstances. Physical or
mental or moral incapacity is respon'
sible for their apathy, and has left
them only energy or will sufficient for
the beaten track. They at least are
far above the degenerate and crimt
nal classes In humanity's scale, for
these are too feeble in intellect and
will to keep even in the beaten track,
not to mention the power to blaze a
higher and finer way through the
world.

LIGHTING LORE
AcETYLENE ExcELS AS AN llU-

Gas Fdr Lighting Fori aerly Confined to-

The satisfactory light ing of suburban

Everybody admits that these are not;
the characteristics OF the candle or
kerosene lamp, which. formerly, were
the only feasible means of producing
light for domestic use in the rural dis

For generations there was a crying
need. yearning for something better.
which was not satisfied. A few years

Commyn lime. and carbon in the form
of coke or coal are the raw materials
which. fused in an intensely heated
furnace. make Calcium Car bide. and
there is no difficulty In obtaining 1t in
any part Of the country.

and cheaply installed, either In the cell

The light from burning Acetylene is
exquisite, and lighting experts agree
that it surpasses all other known illu-
minants. 1t does not faint the air nor
strain the eyes. and is not objection
able in any respect. Every up-to-date
rural residence should be equipped
with Acetylene light.
