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

Portland. Ore.-Kiuing rabbits by wholesale is a favoiite winter sport in the Lakeview country in southeast ern Oregon. No fewer than 10000 rabbits have been killed off in this way, 1t 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 bunnies are driven ih one general direction until they ina themselves between two lines or hunters, and the oniy escape is into pen, where they are killed with cluos' No firearms are used fin the hunt.
 Were it not for this method Of ex. terminating the rabbits, they wouio destroy the crops of the farmer Ill that district. Coyotes kill large num- bers of rabbits and between the two enemies the pests are kept dowh u a comparatively small number
 A recently announced project was to establish a rabbit cannery near Lakeview and put the meat or 'ne slaughtered hares- up in tins Tor saie chiefly in foreign countries, Wheio rabbits are highly prized for fooa, There Is now a tremendous waste oi the meat. only few of the killed ray bits finding their way into the ro,e land markets and practically all 'n0 remainder are not used at all
 Every winter when the iarm.'o have plenty of leisure time to XII 'no rabbits, they are slaughtered in yer. large numbers, and 1t appears 'nas the meat and skins could be put " profitable use. The supply seems 'n' exhaustible.

N0N-T|PP|NG HOTEL
Makes Success, and Another Will
 Be Erected.
Public Likes Idea and New Hostery Will Be Largest in World-Con- tans 1000 Bedrooms and Has
 Roof Garden.

London.-When Sir Joe Lyons, Eng. lands newest knight. opened a big hotel on The Strand about IS months ago and announced that there would be no tips in the new hostelry, most old Londoners laughed They predicted that within a year either the servants would be accepting tips in the time honored way or the hotel would be closed.
 Neither has happened. The hotel has not closed and the no-tipping system has proven such success that the dj- rectors are going to build the biggest hotel in England and probably in the world, where the same system will be practiced. It will contain 1000 he'd. rooms, and its total dimensions will he over 10000 cubic feet. It will have a large roof garden-an innovation in English hotels-fine smoking and bil. Hard rooms, libraries, and in fact, every modern convenience
 What the exterior of the buildine Is to look like has not been quite de. clded, but from hint dropped by MT salmon 1t may be assumed that 1t VIII be distinctly impressive In ap- pearance
 The site intended for the hotel is the old world neighborhood which lies be. hind Regent street and Piccadillv cir GUS. It Is within few seconds walk or each, yet a Quieter or more easily gettable spot could hardly be ina gined A number of very interesting old pullulngs will have to be demolished to make room for the hotel and a whole block of houses will have to come down. In one of the streets which are going, the undertaken who made Nelson's Aboukir coffin had his shop' and number of other venerable oid business places will disappear. The cost or the site has probably been nigh, as great many leases must have been bought up.
 The rates at the new hotel will he six shillings a night ($1.5O).
 l asked about the success of the mo- tipping system.
 The system has been a complete success" said one of the directors.
 How do the public fall in with the regulations?' l asked. Do they ever attempt to evade them?"
 They do occasionally" he replied But it's only occasionally. As a rule they fall in with the system at once"
 And you find the servants just as ready to Oblige AS when they had depend on tips?"

 There has been invented and intro duced in Chicago 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 propor- tonately to admit of its use by adults. It is inflatable and collapsible and the administration of bath to Mir.

 The tub is inflated by means of a pump and rubber tube connected with the walls, in the same manner in which one would pump up deflated bicycle tire. The operation of infiat- ing the tub requires about one minute. the water is poured into or conveyed to the tub by means of hose and the bather is in the enjoyment of his ab. lutions without having left his bed He is not disturbed even when the bath is terminated.

BATHING IN HIS BED

Hates. This done the bather is dried, the tub slipped from beneath nim and the bath is over.
 This bed bath is the invention of a southern physician who designed 1t pri. marily for use fin 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 1t doctors dislike to remove their pa tients from the bed to a movable or stationary bathtub fearing that the llftlng and carrying necessary under the circumstances will induce hemor- rhage. It is asserted by physicians that the rubber bed bath, which does away with this difficulty, will be hailed as one of the greatest medical inyen. tions 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 50 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 may have his inning.

r HICAGO.-Lady Tennessee Claflin N Cook has become the champion of Chicago lovers, and would intro duce a system in the churches where by young men and women would be enabled to abandon the street corner as the place of meeting and courting, out of sight of unsympathetic parents. She would furnish halls and churches where they might carry on their. love- making unmolested, but under the supervision of not only the church, but also of the state.
 Lady Cook at heart is a matchmak- er and says she is proud of 1t. She declares the reason for so many un- happy marriages is that the young men and women have no real chance to become well acquainted before matrimony

 Yes, l am matchmaker Why not |? l am proud to be one. There is no better work that person can do than to start the boys and girls on the right path to happy marriage. What l would do is to open the churches which lie idle all week and there al low the young people to meet.
 Would it not be better for these young men and girls to meet in a holy place and become acquainted than to be forced to use the street corner as a meeting place? Boys could come from the streets and meet girls who otherwise would be forced to stay at home.
 Some people say that the sexes should be kept apart. l say that 1t is natural for boys and girls to grow up together to pure man and woman hood, and that this plan will aid in their doing so.

 These field workers do not treat cases unless there Is no other physi- clan available. The plan is for the field worker to travel through the country calling upon such persons as are reported suffering for prolonged period. He explains his mission and asks permission to make the hook work investigation. If a diagnosis shows the hookworm disease, he calls in the family physician and gives him the data obtained and consults with him as to treatment. Dr. Olin West of Nashville says:

FEDERAL GRAND JURY SAID TO

New York, N. Y.-The federal
grand jury for the criminal branch of
the United States circuit court has
been conducting for several weeks a
secret inquiry into the affairs OF the
United States Steel corporation, and
it is said at least one Indictment will
be returned next week.
The basis of the inquiry lies in the
charges recently made by officers of
the Alpha Portland Cement company
against the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
1t was asserted the railroad company
gave large rebates to the Universal
Portland Cement company, which is
owned by the Steel corporation, and
which is the principal business rival
of the Alpha. The proposed indict-
ment, it is said, will be under the Hep
burn anti-rebating statute.

cuss the work of the grand jury, but
it is know that body began its inves-
tigation early in May. This CORE

Railroad company with unfair rate dis
elimination and involves 100 other de-

railroad lines of the country.
At the first hearing of the COM
