There has been invented and intro
duced in Chicago a bed bath in which
one may enjoy plunge in six or eight
inches of water while in bed. The tub
is made entirely of soft rubber; it is
six feet long and large enough proper
tionate!y to admit Of its use by adults.
1t is inflatable and collapsible and the
administration of bath to Mr.. Lazy
Man or to an invalid requires no more
time than for an ordinary bath.

The tub is inflated by means of q

which one would pump up Debated

the water Is poured into or conveyed

KILL RABBITS BY WHOLESALE
Drive" in Oregon Disposes Of 10000
Little Pests Within Few Weeks
Clubs Are Used.

Portland. Ore.-Killing rabbits by
wholesale is a favorite winter sport
in the Lakeview country in southeast
ern Oregon. No fewer than 10000
rabbits have been killed off in this
way, it is estimated, within the past
few weeks
Hundreds Of men and boys engage
in the rabbit drive. They form line
extending across the prairie several
miles, while Dummies are driven in
one general direction until they find
themselves between two lines OF
hunters. and the only escape is into a
pen, where they are killed with clubs.
No firearms are used in the hunt.
Were it not for this method of ex-
terminating the rabbits, they would
destroy the crops of the farmer in
that district. Coyotes kill large num-
bers of rabbits and between the two
enemies the pests are kept down to
a comparatively small number.
A recently announced project was
to establish a rabbit cannery near
Lakeview and put the meat of the
slaughtered hares up in tins for sale
chiefly in foreign countries where
rabbits are highly priced for food.
There is now a tremendous waste of
the meat, only a few Of the killed rab-
bits finding their way into the Port
land markets and practically all the
remainder are not used at all.
Every winter when the farmers
have plenty of leisure time to kill the
rabbits, they are slaughtered in very
large numbers, and it appears that
the meat and skins could be put to
profitable use. The supply seems in
exhaustible.

Photograph Ones Thouuht's

Worcester, Mass.-Dr Max Baff of
Clark college, discussing the discov-
cry credited to japanese scientists en-
abling human thoughts to be photo
graphed, said:
AS method of taking thought pho
tographs, capital way would be to
expose the film in a vacuum tank. and
have the subjects, whose thought are
to be photographed, placed near the
tank, even with their heads against
it. Developing the film roll, after it
had been unwound in darkness, with
a pair Of subjects thinking on a given
subject while Is was being unrolled,
might show some extremely interest
ing results.
1T is a matter for close investiga-
ton and demands a long series Of
carefully conducted experiments"

THE HOG SERENE.

Consider for a moment the hog.
The hog is natures sedative. He is
the antithesis of excitement and the
anesthetic of worry When frayed
nerves cry out in protest, and the
tired brain aches with a surfeit of
care or pleasure, go then to the
humble pig sly and learn a lesson
of repose. What does the farmer do
when the hired man gives notice, or
grasshoppers threaten to take the
upper eighty? He heads for the hog
lot; and. with his elbows on the top
rail and one foot in an intermediate
crack, he watches the swine at their
evening meal till his soul finds peace,
says the Kansas City Star. AS a
preventive of nervous prostration, a
sanitarium, compared to a hog, is a
riot and the seashore Is an insurrec-
ton. His peaceful grunt is lullaby
livion Of the flight of time is re-
Duke to the strenuous. AS he pokes
his nose into the moist earth-never
furiously, but with calm and quiet
and upturns the succulent roots that
he may add weight to his hams and
breadth to his spare ribs, to the ulti-
mate profit of the butcher, we are re-
minded of the futility of crying out
against the rate for which we are be-
ing fattened and taught to bow the
head in humility. Reach over the
top of the fence and scratch his brist-
ly back with a raspy cob and his legs.
unable to support his excess burden
of pleasure, crumble beneath him, and
he sinks to sleep. singing song OF
contentment that rumbes forth from
cavernous depths. His humble limi
tations have not made the hog pes
simist. On the contrary. he is your
true optimist.

BATHING IN HIS BED

This bed bath is the invention of a
southern physician who designed it pri-
marlly for use in homes and hospitals
in the treatment of typhoid fever or
other diseases where the full or plunge
bath is indicated. In administering
the full bath in typhoid fever cases
known to physicians as the Brand
treatment, and named in honor of the
man, now dead, who first prescribed it
doctors dislike to remove their pa
tients from the bed to a movable or
stationary bathtub, fearing that the
lifting and carrying necessary under
the circumstances will induce hemor-
rhage 1t is asserted by physicians
that the rubber bed bath, which does
away with this difficulty, will be hailed
as one of the greatest medical inven-
tons Of the age
According to medical statistics, the
death rate from typhoid fever, which
has increased in the United States to
an alarming extent in the last few
years, has been reduced from so to 100
per cent. when the Brand treatment
was used, the only objection to the
Brand treatment being the necessity
OF lifting the patient from his bed
and back to 1t. Now that can be dis
pensed with-and the lazy man also
