The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-11-01

The democratic tariff law which is
now in force is certainly very unfair
to farming interests. Practically all
the articles put on the free list are
something tie farmer produces.
Among the articles produced by the
farmer which are put on the free list
are horses cattle, sheep and wool,
and after March 1st sugar and molas-
ses. wheat, eggs, tea, coffee, milk,
-four, potatoes. cabbage, corn, lard
and meat s. Butter was reduced from
six cents to two and One-haIf cents a
pound; hay from 81. 90 a ton to So. 90;
apples from % cents a bushel to 10
cents bushel; wool from three cents
to one cent per pound.

A Fish With q Lantern,

No matter what animals or groups of animals are studied. it will always be found that their leading physical traits are exactly adapted to their hab- its and conditions. A striking illus tration of this fact is afforded by the torch fish. This is deep sea fish that carries on its nose something like a short, thin bctie. which it can ilumi- nate with a phosphorescent light 6f extinguish at pleasure. 1t does not use this lantern to guide 1t on its way in the depths of the ocean or to enable 1t to see what is going on in the neigh borhood. The light is put to more practical tise. When the fish feels hur- gry 1t lights up to attract smaller fish They daft for the light and find them selves in the capacious mouth of the fish. How the lantern is lighted and extnguished is not yet clearly under Stood.

Head Hunters of the Philippines.

tiS
 Cautiously enough, the head hunting peoples of the Philippines are appar- ently limited to northern LiiZon. None of the warlike hill tribes inhabiting other parts of the archipelago are known to take the heads of their vic tins. The explanation of their head hunting customs which is given by the Negritos of northeastern Luzon is very simple. They believe that each family must take at least one head year or suffer misfortune in the form of sick ness, wounds, starvation or death. Their victims are always beheaded with bolos. Heads are buried in the ground under the houses" of the men who take them. Plates or ollas are placed over the spots where the heads are buried and possibly contain offer ings to evil spirits. The "houses" under which heads are buried are then aban- doned and their supposedly fortunate owners look forward to a period free from death. sickness or injury and to success in their hunting and fishing National Geographic Magazine.

Get a Decent box now.
Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural II Is just
as natural as 1t is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels
must be kept active This Is impor-
tant at all ages, but never so much
as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But a lash can't be
used every day. What the bowels of
the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only
