RECKLESS SHOOTING
BY THE SMALL BOY
Officers Propose to Put a Stop
to PromiScuouS Firing of
Small Pistols.

City Marshal Jack Stevens and
Deputy Marshal Frank Johnson have
started crusade on small boys who
carry firearms. Recently scores of
boys have been in the habit Of pre-
miscuOusly firing small calibre PTS
tbs within the city limits. They buy
the pistols presumably with the inten-
ton of firing blank cartridges Nearly
all of them, however, substitute the
blanks for % loaded shells and then
fire away recklessly wherever they
happen to be. Poles, buildings, water
tanks and boxed pipes in many parts
of the city have been punctured by
the little bullets.
Deputy Marshal Johnson and inc
other officers have taken many of the
small pistols from boys carrying
them, but there is no notable de
crease in the number in their posses
sion apparently The officers there
fore have determined on a more Wig
crous remedy. They propose TO ar,
rest the boys on charges of carrying
concealed weapons and prosecute
them. Jail sentences can be imposed
upon conviction OF this offense. In
the future the pistols win not only be
confseated, but charges will be en-
tered against the boys.
The practice OF the boys is a dan
gerous one, not only to themselves,

pose to take the contents from the
end of the sewer in a ditch and flume
To a homestead, approximately six
miles away, keeping it out of the
creek bed where the water will all
sink in the sand in a distance of 500

thereby saving tao city the expense of

We propose to furnish all labor

us in the sum of $500, provided II
gives satisfaction for one year.
The approximate cost Of this ditch

Ed. Moore, Prominent Sulphur
Springs Ranchman, Heartily
Approves Claim of This City
For County Seat.

Ed. Moore, of the Sulphur Springs
Valley Cattle company, was in the
city yesterday. Mr.. Moore says that
the cattle in the valley are getting
thin and the range is suffering for the
want of rain. Mr.. Moore said that
practically none of the cattle have
died for the want of feed, but should
the rains come late this year, grass
will be very scarce before the new
crop is grown. Mr. Moore is always
a welcome visitor IN Bisbee, where he
was actively engaged in business for
a number of years before embarking
in the cattle business, and the pleas
ure of his visits is always mutual, as
he still claims Bisbee as home.
In speaking of the proposed removal
of the court house from Tombstone to
some other portion of Cochise county,
Mr. Moore expressed himself as
Bisbee daily review., 1908-06-14

heartily in favor of Bisbee for the
proposed site. Said Mr.. Moore:
Some years ago, when it was pro
posed to remove the court house from
Tombstone, 1 opposed it. AT that
time Bisbee had not become the me-
tropolis it is today, but as things now
stand. with Bisbee practically the
mother of all other towns in the coun-
ty, think that they should step aside
in favor of the parent city, and
heartily support Bisbee's claims for
the county seat honor"
Speaking of Bisbee being the parent
city of the other towns of Cochise,
Mr.. Moore expressed it thus: shut
down Bisbee for thirty days, and
think of the condition that would ex-
list in any neighboring town at the ex-
piration of that time"

bad condition of the pipes used for

are in bad shape.

Quebec's Battlefelds.

From the 81. John New Brunswick) Telegraph.
Canadians Of English or French origin
are embracing with equal enthusiasm the
proposal to consecrate the battletields of
the Plains of Abraham and Ste. Fov next
year when the Quebec tercentenary is
celebrated. In 1S49 the British soldiers
serving in Canada under Sir Benjamin
dLrban contributed days pay to erect
a column in memory of Wolfe on the spot
where he died in the hour of that victory
which made this country British. The
amount of money thus raised was small
and the monument insignificant. But the
meaning of that final grapple between the
British and the French grows yearly in
significance. and there is now taking def
mite form plan to give permanent eX
preston to the honor i'm which Canadians
hold Wolfe and Montcalm alike. Today
as the immigrant comes up the river to
Quebect the first object he sees is the
Jail on the prOmontory. 1t is proposed
now to remove the prison and the Ross
rifle factory. and to set up there overlook
ing the river colossal angel of welcome;
to buy land enough to make certain the
preservation of the battlefieldS as u ma
tional park, to build a fireproOf museum
in which to store records and relics of
historic value. and TO construct a mag
niticent driveway from the citadel along
the edge of the cliff overhangfng the ST.
Lawrence to the place where Wolfe'S for
lorn hope climbed the height, along the
road over which Wolfe marched his men
before they deployed to take up their line
of two deep on the Plains of Ahra ham, on

Montcalm was victorious, and back to

beautiful valley of the St. Charles

RICE AS A MUSCLE-MAKER.
Value Of the Grain Decreased by the
Polishing Process.
From American Medicine.

|
A recent editorial in the Lancet-Ciinic
is devoted to this interesting subject. 1t
points out that the defeat of Russia by
Japan drew the attention of the whole
world to the power of endurance exhibit
ed by the Japanese. and that much sur
prise was expressed that a relocating ma
ton should develop such remarkable
physical power. One of the factors to be
taken into account, says the writer. is the
frugal abstemious habits of all Japanese
families, but ii is quite possible that rice
plays more important part In the matter
than is generally realized.
In the United States as we'll as in
Europe rice has usually been considered
an inferior food, owing to the excess of
starch in its composition. and this is un-
dototedly true of the rice as we meet
with it. But this defect in the grain is
the result of the removal of nutrient mat
ter for the purpose of making it presenta-
BILE for the market by what is known as
the polishing process. Not only is the
outer husk taken off. but what is called
the rice meal, which envelopes the
inner kernel. is also brushed away. al
though it is highly nutritious. being the
albuminous portion of the grain. 1t is,
however. an unattractive brown in color.
This rice meal is exported. to Europe by
rice growing countries, and in England 1t
is made into what is named "oil cake
with which cattle are fattened- Chemical
analysis of rice meal shows that it con-
tains about 12la per cent of albuminOids
and Az per cent of phOsphoric acid, and
the former appears to be easily digested
and utilized by the human system.
AS the Japanese. in common with other
rice-eating nations, do not polish the
grain except for export. they retain a
large proportion of nutrment and flavor
to which virtually all Americans and
Europeans are absolute strangers.
1t is remarkab BILE that the most highly
civilized nations are willing to sacrifice
nourishment to appearance when all the
facts are quite well known. White rice
no doubt, looks nice because we are ac-
customed to its delicate appearance. Be
ing purely carbohydrate (Starch), it is not
a muscle builder. When eaten in it's
natural condition. that is. without beirG
polished" rice is food that will build
I'D the body and will create force and
energy az we'll. Had the japanese pol
ished" their rice, without substituting
other albuminOus food. there can be no
doubt that the Russians would have de-
feated them, because men cannot thrive
upon starchy foods which contain no al
bumen to repair the waste caused by the
very act of living. and by daily work

Porto Rico Regiment.
From Army and Navy Life.

From Army and Navy Life.
On the score of economy the weight
Of the argument is all in favor Of the re-
tention of the Porto Rico Regiment. To
continue It in service involves no addition
to the present annual appropriations for
the support of the army, for the reason
that the cost of maintaining it has been
one Of the items included in the army
appropriation bill every year since 1899.
On the other hand to muster it out and
replace 1t by American troops would add
to the army expenses. Americans will
not serve in the tropics for any length
of time without the extra inducements of
foreign service pay and double time for
retirement. In the absence of these in
centives every American enlisted man
whose term of service expired in Porto
Rico would decline TO re-enlist. and il
would become necessary to send him home
on discharge with the added cost of trans
port alton. not only for the discharged man
but also for the recruit to replace him.
These are not the only items of additional
expense due 10 the substitution of an
American for the native garrison. but
they are sufficient. for the purpose of this
article. to illustrate the fallacy of the
contention that questions OF economy re-
quire the change
