HOW TO PROTECT
CHICKS FROM HAWKS.
A Number of Methods More or
Less Ingenious and Practical.

"' i"i SoIuo way VI pre-
venting hawks from catching
little chickens. This query is
one that comes annually, a.,
about this season. There are
several ways suggested by peo
pie who have this pest to CON.
tend with, go | will give the
various ways that | have any
knowledge of, and Mr.. Ii. can
take his choice.
One method is the feeding of
nux vomica, three times a week
In corn-meal dough, bran, or
breed soaked in water and
squeezed nearly dry. The guam
tity of nux vomica TO be used
depends on the size of the chick
ems. For chicks two or three
weeks old pinch would be sui
ficien' tor 10 chicks. This me-
thod has its disadvantages, for if
YOU raise ducks and they feed
with the chickens, it's good. bye
ducks, if they eat any of the
food containing the drug. A Sc.
cond plan is to take as much
strycanine rs will 60 on the point
of a pocket knile, add to this 8
or d drops of molasses, part back
the down under the chickens
neck, and with straw, put a
touch of the mixture on the neck
and smooth the down.
A third and more humane wsy
to both chick and hawk--for in
above methods the hawk must
catch the chicken and eat it be-
tore he kills hims lf,--is to pro-
cure from the timer. or s,se-
where, few squares of new tin,
punch hole in one corner of the
TIN and attach to this a strong
twine string, about eighteen
inches long. Erect few poles
slightly out of the perpendicular
and attach one tin on each pole
by the end OF string, let il
hang about a foot from the tor
of the pole. The wind blowing

bottles hung on poles or tree
limbs are considered by some as
good as the tins The tins will

You need . sufficient amount Of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest 1t.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach II
It is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat q SUMO
lent amount Of food regularly.
But this food must be digssted,
and 1t must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. Whom
the stomach Is weak 1t needs help;
you must help 1t by giving It rest,
and Kodol will do that.

For any one to be brought out in

impossible, and when an attempt

1t was known, however, that the

IS reported recovery cleared up

The proceedings promise to be
interesting, as Judge Dibell held
~ his order of July l that the
gift of $4,000 by Mr.. Shea to his
wife did not remove the money
rom his control, and he was liza
,le on the judgment for that por-
ion of the sum not exempt on &C.
count of right of homestead.
Mr.. Shea sold the timber on his
claim for $4,000 and gave the
money to his wife, who went to
the West with it. The story of
the theft was doubted by the Seat
tie police, and their suspicious
were strengthened when $4,000
of the sum was reported to have
been returned.
Shea was examined on supple
mental proceedings and ordered
to pay Mr.. Washburn $6,333.33 of
the judgment secured on a note
and for attorneys fees and Incl
dental expenses. He failed to do
this, and today was sent to Jail for

WILL FORCE ROADS
TO EXPLAIN RATES
IGNORANT SHIPPERS MUST BE
TOLD HOW MUCH "RELEASEl
CONTRACT" SAVES THEM.

OLYMPIA. July 17.--As a re-
suit of a hearing to be held here
August 4 the state railroad COM
mission expects to issue an order
designed to save in the aggregate
thousands of dollars to shippers
of household goods and other
freight where under a release con-
tract lower tariff than the usual
freight rate may be secured. The
order for the hearing was issued
today and was directed to all the
railways in the state.
The incident which brought VI
the order was where s. A. ClausoL
of North Yakima had some berry
bushes and rhubarb plants ship
ped to him from Puyallup. They
were invoiced at value of 27.60
for the go pounds, or about SO
per hundred. The shipper, a
farmer, unfamiliar with railroad
tariffs, simply told the railroad
agent to ship them. Had the
shipper signed contract to re-
lease in case of loss to SIS per
hundred, which would have been
more than the articles were worth,
the freight rate would have been
1874. He did not sign release,
and the Northern Pacific exacted
$3.50 freight and refused to
make refund.
Realizing that ignorance of
rates is general among small
shippers. the commission has cit
ed the railroads to show cause why
the commission should not make
an order requiring that in all
cases where two rates cover the
same article and the lower rate
may be gained by signing a release
contract, IL shall be mandatory
that the railroad agent receiving
the shipment advise the shipper
orally and personally of the effect
of the release contract and the re-
Iduced rates to be secured there
by.
Such release contracts cut ordi.
nary rates in half and sometime
lower, and consequently the in
forming of every shipper of sucf
result is a considerable saving to
those who pay the freight.

FIVE MEN HAVE ADVENTURE
IN ONE OF ENGLAND'S FA-
NOUS "POT" HOLES.

LONDON, July 17.-Five men,
bers of the Yorkshire Ramblers'
club have had a weird and exciting
weekend adventure. Engaged in
exploring Gaping Ghyll, one of the
deepest and most famous pot"
holes in England, they were I'M
able TO regain the surface owing
to an thrush of water, and were
imprisoned in the bowels of a
mountain for more than thirty
hours. "Pot" holes, which belong
to the pre-glacial period, are faults
or declivities in the limestone,
and are believed to have been prin-
eipally formed by the chemical ac-
ton of water.
Gaping Ghyll is picturesquely
situated on the shoulder of Ingle-
borough, NORTHEAST Yorkshire, a
mountain some 1000 feet high.
At the foot of the pot" is a vault
over $50 feet long, 1872 feet high.
and 80 feet wide, and the pot
could easily accommodate Man
chester Town Hall.
A large party of explorers
camped at the mouth of the ia
nous hole about 6 o'clock in the
morning. The descent of the
pot" a distance of $50 feet, was
successfully accomplished by
means of a chair and a windIass.
After spending the day in the
hole the majority of the party re-
turned to the surface about five
o'clock in the evening. Five en-
thusiastic hunters" however, de-
cided to remain below all night
and explore the subterranean pass
ages.
The five explorers intended to
leave the hole about 6 o'clock the
following morning. During the
night. however, rain fell heavily,
and in very short time the
stream of water which runs over
the edge of Gaping Ghyll became
SO swollen that it tumbled down
