The English Sparrow.

In many parts of the country the
English sparrow has become great
nuisance, and their destruction is
sought by the people. The United
States department of Agriculture has
issued "Farmers Bulletin No. $685."
on the subject, "How to Destroy
English Sparrows. 1t gives much
valuable information on The subject,
and says that the sparrows may be
used for food. On this point the
bulletin says, "Since English sparows
are pest and a reduction of their
number is important on economic
grounds, there would seem to be no
reason why the birds, when trapped
or shot, should not be utilized for
food in this country, as they have
been in the old world for centuries.
Their flesh is palatable and nutritious
and in city restaurants they are often
served under the name Of reed
birds.

Find Body
On Flats

The body of A. w. Severn, rail-
road brakeman on the Tacoma
Eastern, was found in the water
near the Milwaukee bridge just off
Marshall avenue early this morn
ing by duck hunters.
Coroner Shaver made a careful
investigation, but there were no
evidences of foul play. 1t is
thought probable he was endeav-
oring to step off the trestle work
in the darkness to protruding
part of the piling, and, losing his
footing, struck his head in falling,
stunning him SO he drowned be-
fore recovering.

$4,000 Children Dead
Because They Were
Born I'm America

PARIS DOCTORS WOULD HAVE
SAVED THAT MANY OF OUR
DIPTHERIA VICTIMS; MED
ICAL IGNORANCE AND PREJU-
DICE, TOGETHER WITH HI
OH PRICE OF ANTITOXIN,
BLAMED FOR OUR ENORM
GUS DEATH RATE.
Five children died in Tacoma
last month with diphtheria. Four
teen thousand died last year in
America.
And they could all have been
saved.
The health department of this
city found itself last month in
the throes of an epidemic. There
were AZ cases reported. This is
unprecedented for Tacoma. Be
fore the disease could be checked
five little ones had closed their
eyes forever.
The epidemic has been practi-
cally wiped out, and today there
were only seven cases. This
shows pretty fair work, but Edwin
Morris in Pearsons for January
declares that practically the A.
1000 dead in America could be
saved if doctors would use anti
toxin.
But doctors in some of the old
schools are backward about new
innovations and so they neglect to
use this remedy. In at least one
of the cases last month where
death resulted in Tacoma there
was no anti-toxin used.
Price Exorbitant.
The manufacturers of the medi-

cine have also formed a combina-
ton against the lives of the little
ones. They charge in Tacoma 81
a thousand units for anti-toxin. II
takes from 1000 to 10000 units
for each case, and in some cases
as high as 10000 units have been
given. 1t can be seen at glance
that this runs into money fast
The average case costs over SIC
just for anti-toxin.
1t is prohibitive for many q
poor family and in the poor fami-
lies is where the disease generally
starts.
Works Well in Paris.
OF course the city pays for the
anti-toxin after it gets hold of the
case if the family absolutely can
not do so. But in the meantime
it may be too late. Anti-toxin
should be used for best results in
the early stages of the disease.
Mr.. Morris shows what has been
done in Paris. When the use of
|anti-toxin was started there the
death rate was 60 to the 100000
population. Now it is but 6. This
rate would mean that the death
rate for Tacoma if it reached the
Paris mark would be only for a
year.
But there were five in Tacoma
last month.
Paris has gone at the case sys-
Dramatically, and is wiping out
|diphetheria. Tacoma can do as
well if the medical profession is
hand.

THE MAN HIGHER UP

who has foreseen the event and
planned for it, pulled up a loose
board in the corner and drew out
the sum total of his worldly
wealth-a single dime. Then his
flight was resumed.
He did not cease running until
the tumble-down tenement do
trict was far behind him. Then
he set his face toward the down.
town business section of the city.
A portly gentleman of good
natured aspect came toward him.
The boy boldly accosted him.
Say. mister, where can | buy
some papers?"
I've no money for you" an
.swered the gentleman impatiently.
Don't want any money. Got
all l want" the boy said sturdily.
The gentleman laughed.
That's more than / have, my
youthful Croesus. Press office.
Fifth avenue, three blocks down"
And the boy trudged bravely on
his way through the crowded
thoroughfare, unmindful of smart
ing shoulders, his fortune grasp
ed tightly in his fist.
The statement that his fortune
was carried in his fist is true in
two senses of the word. For
when he had expended his treas
ure in copies of that organ of pub
liclty known as the Press, with
the instinct of genius he sought
the most crowded corner of the
city's busiest avenue. Here an
unforeseen obstacle met our
young knight Grant. Hardly had
he begun to cry his wares, with a
holiness of mien born not of ex-
perience but of the spirit within
him, when another "newsie," who
had pre-empted the corner, swag-
gered up to him and fiercely chal
lenged:
Say, Kid, wotcher dom here? ?"

,"seltin' papers," said our young
friend.
Not much. yer don't. Dis is
my stan. Take a sneak.
Avn go to hell" And then
the fight began.
The assailant was the older and
bigger, but this was a style u
argument with which Rob was IA
mtliar. In his hard little body
was packed the beginning of that
great strength which later won
Chin fame, so that he was a match
FOR his bigger antagonist, sending
as, good as he received. He dealt
his blows Justify and mahciously
greatly TO the delight OF the crowd
that gathered to observe the hostil-
tiles. Not the least interested was
the burly. red-faced limb of the
law who controlled the traffic at
that corner.

laughed youth of apparent sport
ing proclivities.
