Hunters Every Year Venture
Forth on Niagara River.
Nlmrods Caught In Running leo Jam
Observed by Man with Glass, Who
Watches Them Plunge Over Z
the Falls. f't!f

Buffalo, N. Y.-The fascination OF
hunting must be very great when it
will lure men out onto the Niagara
river in the winter to an almost GER
tain death trap. It seems that the
duck hunting is especially good but
very dangerous about a mile above the
falls. Every winter adventurous duck
hunters put out in small boats and
dodge the ice cakes while they hunt
their favorite game. As a rule, how
ever, most Of the hunters perch them
selves upon ledge Of ice and hunt
from 1t. They take terrible risk even
by this method, for the ice jam that
is constantly moving down stream is
at any time liable to dislodge the hunt
er's perch and down he goes victim
to the merciless cataract.
Not many years ago two men were
observed in a duck boat trying des-
perately to row out Of running ice
jam which had carried them down the
Canadian channel from far up the
river. Their terrified efforts were
closely followed by a man with spy
glass. who had discovered them from
the windows of one of the large shore
factories on the American side. The
unfortunate men had already drifted
too near the first roaring cataract to
admit Of any possible rescue, so the
watcher could only helplessly wait for
their pitiful death.
In describing the incident afterward,
he said: "God, what could do to help
them-what could any man do? The
Almighty alone seemed to hold them
in his power. One man seemed to be
wrenching his shoulders from their
sockets with the oars; the other stood
In the stern, desperately plying pike
pole. An oar broke, and was replaced
by third. The man didn't lose a Sec
ond in its replacement. Then, in a
mighty stroke, the other oar went,
and he fell sprawling back in the boat.
He stood up, pulled the good oar from
It's pin, and began padding insanely
from the side.
"They made little progress. Slowly
the great field of ice swept them
down, down toward those snarling.

agony before the hopeless vision. Into

between the condition Of the blood and
The activity Of the stomach. The blood
depends upon the stomach for Z larro
part Of i1 nourishment; while every
oct of digestion, from the time the food
enters the stomach until Il is' dieested
and assimilated by the blood, needs
plenty Of pure, well-oxidiSed blood.
The stomach works only according to
the quality Of the blood. I'D is,s@ss.
The most common cause Of indiRes-
Gon is anmmia, or lack of blood. In
deed there is not single disturbance Of
the health of the body nor any form of
exhaustion or lowered vitality, that
may not lead to stomach trouble. Dis
ordered blood is the one common cause
Of indigestion. Thin, impure blood
weakens the muscles of the stomach
and lessons the product of tho glands
which furnish the digestive fluids.
Nothing will more promptly cure in
