SEATTLE, Wash, MAY 8, 1911.
About nine years ago L was taken
sick with erysipelas which affected
my whole body, causing great
amount of suffering for two years,
after which time a large cancerous
sore formed on the top of my nose,
eating large hole in the top of it
till nearly the whole of my nose was
a raw sore. My face was all swollen
and very sore and painful. My eyes
were so bad that | expected to lose
my sight at any time. L could not
recognize any one few yards away.
My feet were SO badly swollen that |
could not wear my shoes but very
little and was unable to walk block
without the most intense suffering
and cramps in my limbs.
Finally a friend who had been
cured by Dr. Swick induced us 10
consult him as she had received such
great help when all hopes had been
abandoned. This we did after much
persuasion on their pant. | am only
too glad to tell the readers of 1.-The
Ranch of my wonderful cure. No
one knows the JOY that now fills my
life as we'll as those of my family.
am now 63 years Of age and am able
to do all of my work; my nose being
entirely free from any sore and my
feet and limbs are perfectly we'll. |
can now read ordinary print for the
first time in ID years, my headache
entirely gone.
This is what one months treatment
did for me. | have been reader of
1.-THE Ranch over IA years and can
say to it's readers that if any one is
suffering you will surely find relief
in going to DR.. Swick. | can most
heartily recommend him and his
treatment by his drugless method to
any one as | have not only received
my health at his hands but know of
others that have received the same.

any appreciate extent, filthy. And
it is not difficult to exclude drafts
and dampness. Oddly enough, at first
thought, the open front house is the
dryest. But it should not be open
anywhere except at the front. At
the other side and at the ends even a
knothole should be covered as soon
as noticed. And the open front itself
should be boarded up for two or two
and a half feet from the floor. 1t the
pens have a dirt floor the floor should
be a foot higher than the ground
outside and a sill of concrete six
inches wide and Is inches deep is a
good thing in rainy country but by
no means necessity.
With dry floor, whether of ear tn
or wood, clean roostS and nests, clean
and dry litter and no drafts or vermin
the fowls will be healthy and pro-
ductive There is no hard and fast
rule as to feeding, equally good
results are obtained by different egg
ranchers using different methods,
but it is vitality necessary that they
should be fed good grain-musty and
mouldy grain NAV have fatal results
Meat scraps and green bone should be
fresh and sweet, never sour or faint
ed, no food of any kind should be
allowed to lay around and ferment or
rot and green stuff should be fed when
fresh and bright, not wilted and
sinking. Aids to digestion in the
form of charcoal and grit should be
plentifully supplied and vermin never
allowed to get start.
There will be no sickness in focks
thus cared for, excepting occasional
cases of liver complaint caused by
gluttony and not preventable and
occasional loss of fowls by ovarian
ruptures or similar trouble also not
preventable. Again, death may occur
because of an accumulation of fat,
but close watch of the fowls will
detect this before it is too late to
remedy it, The old saw can ounce

COLONIES

| sydney (Australia) - No little
uneasiness is manifesting itself In
Australian circles over the activity
of the Japinese in colonizing the ISL
and Of New Caledonia, which lies
nine hundred miles almost due east
from sydney There are to-day two
| thousand Japanese on the island. this
number having been imported from
japan by the Society lie Nickle, which
4 Is the name of the company owned by
the Rothschilds. which is developing
the immense deposit of nickel in New
! Caledonia The society has further
engaged 1900 more Japanese to work
in its mines.
New Caledonia, It Is pointed out,
would make an excellent naval base
for Japan. The island has "a magnifi-
cent harbor, 1t has immense deposits
of coal and Is enormously wealthy in
other minerals.
II is estimated that the Japanese on
the island to-day could take possession
of IL tomorrow II they chose.
Island Unprotected.
There ale less than three hundred
soldiers on the island, and not Il sin
gle piece of artillery The harbor,
Noumea, is entirely unprotected.
While the island nominally belongs
to France, France has for years main
taned only a nominal control.
The Daily Sun" of Sydney has made
careful investigation of conditions
In New Caledonia. II sent Il special
representative to the island, and his
report is somewhat startling to the
people of Australia.
The representative of the Daily
Sun" discovered that the -Iapinese on
the island are not coolies, but that
the larger proportion of them are
skilled workmen. Many of them are
engineers, some are bridge builders,
some are masons, and others repre-
sent many other trades.
Nearly all of them fought in the
Russo japanese war. They walk
about after work wearing the military
cloaks which they wore in the war
with Russia Many of them make no
concealment of tire fact that they are
armed with heavy revolyers.
Japanese Gather Data.
II has been discovered that parties
of Japanese, under guise of fisher
men, have taken soundings of the
channels leading to ihe harbor; that
they have charted all the islands and
shoals off the harbor, and II is even
believed they have imported the
necessary mechanical appliances for
the establishment of wireless tele-
graph station.
The Daily SUM- after presenting
these facts gathered by its special
representative. sounds a warning to
Australia. It appears that the Jap
anese are planning to make new

from which Japanese labores can find

There are also indications that the

already installed a wireless station
there, according to adyices from Vic

WESTERN UNION PAYS TAXES.
Company Tenders $1os,4o7 In Overdue
Assessments.

St. Paul, July 6. - The Western
Union Telegraph Company has paid
s103, 407.33 to the state treasurer. the
amount due in back taxes, interest and
costs.
In 1901 the Western Union Tele-
graph Company refused to pay part Of
the taxes levied upon It, It paid only
on the valuation of $750,O00. The
valuation had been raised to $1,000 900
and later $1,250,000. In 1906 action
was brought to recover the amount
due the state. A verdict was secured
in favor of the state for about $40, 900.
In 1907 the legislature passed law
placing penalty Of IL per cent on
all back taxes. The lower courts held
the penalty valid, but the supreme
court at first reversed it. The supreme
court held to the principle but not to
the penalty. At q rehearing, however,
the penalty also was affirmed. Tho
case is now pending in the United
States supreme court.
Some time ago the company asked
for settlement, saying 1t would pay
the back taxes and pay a 6 per cent
interest. The legislature authorized a
settlement on that basis. The state
originally claimed $111,290. OF the
SOB ,4o7.33 paid in, $s6,s25.52 is prin.
ciple, $16,296.21 interest and $2s5.5c

Washington, July 6.-The loss of the

figures on the number of deaths and
injuries all over the country bear out
The indications # the first nights fig
ures that the celebration of 1911 def
nitely inaugurates safer method of
observing the Fourth of July.
Up to midnight the totals were 38
killed and 1917 injured, as compared
with A killed and 2,4S5 injured up to

and two of them were killed outside
The city limits. The total reported &C.
cidents was So, 10 Of this number hav'
Ing been struck by stray bullets or &C.

The smaller number Of injuries
throughout the country charges up the
toy pistol with 142 in 1911, as com.
pared with 218 last year. or $50 in
1909, and gives hope that the final
death list which will be published in
August, will show q considerable fall
ing off.
The smaller number of injuries due
to firearms is another indication that
the final death list will show much
fewer deaths.
Deaths are reported as follows:
