Another "cureY for Consumption.

Another cure" for consumption has
been found. This time It is a vegetable
fluid, the discovery OF n New York ply
sician. whose experiments have convinced
him that pulmonary tuberculosis is
disease OF malnutrition. From a study
OF the value of food properties and their
effect upon nutrition and disease pro-
cesses he came to the conclusion that
tuberculosis required some food elements
not heretofore obtainable, and these ele-
ments he claims to have found In juices
extracted from common garden vegetables.
II is said that IL persons who were looked
upon as sure death patients recovered
under the administration of these veg
etable juices DIR. James F. Russell, who
is head of the hospital stan of the New
York Post Graduate hospital, is the dis
coverer Of this new method Of treatment,
and while he is very confident that he has
hit upon the right solution OF the tuber-
culosis problem, he guardedly says that
he wishes TO make more extended test
before definitely stating his conviction as
to the merits OF the cure. In this he is
wise. Many remedies and methods have
been heralded as sure triumphs over the
great white scourge" and the public
is inclined to be skeptical regarding any
new discovery II DR.. Russell really has
a cure, its value to humanity is almost
inestimable.

OF bonds is entirely different from that
OF money. The property securing bonds
and mortgages is in most cases already
in the tax list, and the attempt to levy
a second tax on the written instrument
Is simply an attempt to enforce double
taxation: such Is the universal belief Of
all sound financiers OF this country, and
such belief and principle has been in
corporated into the taxation laws of all
leading countries OF Europe; such, indeed,
is the decision OF the United States su-
preme court and several OF our state
courts, notably that of California in 1873.
Under this view OF the case, the failure
to place bonds and mortgages in the list
Is simply an evasion of double taxation,
but no such reason can apply to the
failure to place money there, which is
simply an attempt to evade, not double
taxation, but all taxation; and any insti-
tuition. be 1t national bank or state bank,
which gives encouragement to such action
should be held responsible for the injuries
inflicted upon other property which Is
thus compelled to bear more than its
proper share OF the burden OF taxation

The "comIns Nation"

Now the American immigration ques-

takes only three years for an immigrant
TO earn vote in Canada, and rs, 900

10000 Of whom are old enough to vote.
There are now between 100000 and $780,

lation OF 100000, a high percentage be-
cause many cattlemen without families

Pigeons Of the Pacific Coast.

Travelling in immense hordes, which
resemble huge black clouds sweeping
over the water, millions OF sea pigeons
came in from sea last week, close in the
wake OF the mammoth school OF sardines,
which they were intently pursuing Flying
three or four deep and score or more
abreast, millions upon millions OF the
small birds were seen floating over Bakers
Bay and the lower Columbia, forming a
solid but everchanging mass almost inn
pregnable to the human gaze.
The speed at which they flew was large
ly a matter OF conjecture, but probably
was not less than so miles an hour. One
flock OF pigeons was more than two hours
passing over the bar.
Thousands OF the birds became entangi-
ed In the mesh OF the FISH trap leads at
high tide, and the weight of their bodies
is serious menace to the gearing.
At sea the pigeons can generally be
found where the sardines exist, but they
come to the river every summer. The
usual custom is to follow schools of whale,
which also feed on sardines. Waiting
till the sardlnes are surrounded and the
whales are about to rush on their victims,
the pigeons slip in and gorge themselves
upon the fish.-[nwaco Journal.
