corded in the Ceylonese chronicles the
date of the Nirvana of Buddha is found
by the latest writer on the subject to
be 4s7 B. c.; and as tradition assigns
so years as the period of his life, he

The Wrong Diet.

That part of the Good Book that
says we shall live on milk and honey
If we get a season ticket from St.
Peter, has little comfort in it for a
dyspeptic. Physicians now are quite
generally agreed that milk is a food
for babies and children. Certainly it
does not agree with most adults-and
a dyspeptic seldom INDUCES in it
without bad results. Honey, too, is
one of the indigestibles for the major
ity of people. Honey for breakfast,
for instance, has caused more rheu-
matism than cold feet. The only con-
ISOLATION, therefore, that a dyspeptic
can get from the promise of a land
flowing with milk and honey is tina.
this reference to the menu is purely

Around all night on an awful spree!

IA great physician and doctor of laws has said: When a single dose of alcohol is taken it's effects gradually disappear, of course. But not until the third day was there a gradual restoration to complete normality, although the subject himself-and this should be particularly noted-felt ab. solutely free from after-effects of alcohol on the day following that on which the beer was taken.
 Now, if it takes three days to get over one drink what about the cumulative effect when the dose is repeated every day? Kurz and Kraeplin. scientists of indisputable authority say that for twelve days indulgence, the working capacity of that mans mind is lessened by from twenty five to forty per cent.
 The sad part of this truth is that the fellow does not realize it. He thinks he is as fresh as a spring blossom, and thinks that other people believe him to be, when really a causual observer notes the stupid look, the slacken- ed step, the dull eye and the slow speech and slower thought. Poor, deluded victim of the wine cup or beer mug! D.
 Would to God that those of stronger mould would speak with voice and vote in such strong and unmistakable terms as would "Smite the power that forged his gall
 ing chains,
 Sweep from his brain the mist that
 clouds his mind,
 Give back the lustre to those listless
 seyeS, And let him hear once more life's melo-
 dies.
 Unlock his bosom to the claims of love, Give back the manhood that once was
 his;
 Speak thou and haste! Thy ballot is
 thy voice. If silent now what will thy answer be In that dread hour when the Judge
 shall ask:
 Where is thy brother? Lo, l hear his
 blood
 Cry unto me for vengeance from the
 groundv"

TRAINING FOR FIGHT
WELSH AND BROCK RAPIDLY
GETTING INTO SHAPE
Both Men Are Fast Boxers and the
Coming Battle Will Be Holly
Contested from the
Start

Freddie Welsh, the English light
weight, is rapidly getting into condi-
tion at his training quarters at Doyle's
place, near the Vernon fight barn, and
by the date fixed for the contest, May
co. will be in first-class shape.
He went on the road for a sprint
yesterday morning and in the after
noon took on his sparring partners
and Whooped it up a a terrific pace
for several rounds. The young
Britons wind seems to be in good trim
and after each hard go seemed to be
as fresh as when he began.
Welsh has always lived the simple
life. He eats but little meat and goes
in strong for the vegetarian diet. He
attributes his stamina to this manner
of living.
Phil Brock, who will meet the Eng
fish champion in the Vernon arena on
Decoration day, also is hard at work
getting in shape for the coming
event.
He has quarters in the East side
and is going through The usual train
ing routine He is a hard and agrees
sive fighter and the coming contest
will no doubt be a fast one from start
to finish.
Brock needs no Introduction to the
Los Angeles fight fans. His recent bat
ties in this city have shown the lovers
of the fstic art what he can do.
Both men are about evenly matched
and it will be difficult to pick the
winner.

LUMBER COMPANY SAYS
RAILROAD RAISED RATES
Bridgeford- cunningham Concern De-
cIares Road Wanted to Drive 1t
Out of Business and Monop-

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 13.-The case
of the Bridgeford- cunningham Lumber
company against the McCloud River
Railroad, now on trial before the state
board of railroad commissioners, took
a sensational turn today when the
plaintiff submitted evidence to show
tat it's rates had been advanced for
the purpose of driving 1t out of bus
mess.
The purpose of the railroad in try
ing to drive the ridgeford-Cunning-
harr people from the field is alleged to
have sprung from desire to monopo-
lize the business for the McCloud River
imber company, which the railroad
controls.
The case will be resumed Monday,
when the railroad will have witnesses
from Shasta county.
The activity of the commission has
brought forward a number of protests
from big shippers against rates now in
force. In many cases the commission

CUT ANNUAL SUBSIDY FOR
FORESTERS' OFFICIAL ORGAN
PetaIuma Delegation Tries Hard to
Have Appropriation Entirely ELM
inated-kIinger's Fight Will
Be in Vain
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NAPA, Cal. May bat this morn
ing's session of the grand court of
Foresters of America the Petaluma
delegation led fight to cut off entirely
the subsidy of 5000 a year for the Of
fetal organ, the American Foresters'
Review.
There was a three hours debate on
the committees recommendation to fix
the subsidy at 5000, Petaluma opposing
this. The committees recommendation
was adopted by vote of 1866 to 49,. A.
S. Alexander was recommended for ap-
pointment as next state organizer. A
resolution was adopted to issue new
grand past chief ranger certificates to
replace all those lost in tibet San Fran
cisco fire. Supreme Grand Chief
Ranger John O'Grady wired the grand
court that he will visit California in
July.
Aside from approving reports of the
transacted little business at this af-
ternoon's session.
The decisive manner in which move
to take the financial support from the
official organ was defeated this morn
ing, plainly indicates that the fight of
William K. Klinger of San Rafael to
defeat Leo Kaufman of San Francisco
for grand sub-chief ranger will be in
vain. Kaufman has been holding
subordinate grand office for five years
and Is in line.
Tonight grand ball was held at the
East Napa pavilion and was very
largely attended.
