PASSING OF AFRICAN GAME.
Extinction Of Many Species Leads to
Legislative Measures for
Protection.

For two centuries there has been little
let or hindrance to the slaughter of ami
NAL life in southern Africa But now
game laws exist, and with their enforce
ment it is expected that the supply OF
game can be kept up and that some
of the old hunting grounds may be re-
stocked.
Lions are still plentiful over large
areas, and even in the mining districts
Of Rhodesia. Elephants are becom--
ing scarce, being practically extinct
south of the Zambesi, except on the east
coast and in few parts of Rhodesia
They are now strictly protected to save
them from extinction.
The rhinoceros is rare, except in the
Portuguese country south of the Fam
best. The hippopotamus is to be found
only in Orange river, the streams OF
Zululand and in the Portuguese rivers.
One of the remarkable natives is
King Khama. The headquarters Of his
tribe is Serowe, a town Of 10000. Here
and in all his dominions he has abol-
ished European liquors, and their in

witchcraft and so encouraged education

The Mashona1and plateau is beginning

its perfect climate and fertile land 1t

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM

You can interest any man over ffty
years Of age in anything that will make
him feel better because while he
may not AS yet have any positive or.
ganie disease, he no longer feels the
buoyancy and vigor Of twenty-five
nor the freedom from aches and pains
he enjoyed in earlier years, and he
very naturally examines with interest
any proposition looking to the i'm.
provement and preservation of his
health.
Tie will notice among other things
that the stomach of fifty is a very
different one from the stomach he pos.
sessed at twenty-five. That greatest
care must be exercised as to what is
eaten and how much Of il, and. even

Is one which interests not only every
