STEADY HAND.
A Surgeons Hand Should Be the Firm
est of All.

For fifteen years I have suffered
from insomnia, indigestion and ner-
vousness as result Of coffee drink
Ing" said a surgeon the other day
(Tea is equally injurious because It
contains caffeine, the same drug found
In coffee).
1.-THE dyspepsia became 80 bad that
I had to limit myself to one cup at
breakfast. Even this caused me to
lose my food soon after l ate it.
Cali the attendant symptoms of In
digestion, such as heart burn, palpita-
ton, water brash, wakefulness or dis
turbed sleep, bad taste in the mouth.
nervousness, ETC., were present to
such degree as to incapacitate me
for my practice as a surgeon.
1.-THE result Of leaving off coffee
and drinking Postum was simply mar
velous. The change was wrought

stored" Name given upon request.

where your father WAS born" he said.
Canton claims him and so does Hon

not been here in China for many years.
The English port Of Hongkong was
the nearest he ever approached.

himself Chinalnan, and In fact,

who sell wearing apparel for men. It's
the age OF the belt Manly shoulders
must be unhampared by straps; only
the patient diaphragm is to be subject

useful device, sacrificed to fastidious-
ness. We used to eat mashed pota-

percilious manners came along and
told us the fork was the proper uten-

It from saucers, all unconscious OF the
terrible improperly involved. Nor
was 1t formerly considered an indica-
ton OF boorish origin for one to sip
tea from a spoon. Oh, these changing

no cognizance OF mans various

It Is again fashionable.
A large band looks smaller below
a black bracelet, and one woman with
rather red hands wears an inch-wide
band of velvet around each wrist, for
which she has jeweled clasps, changed
to match her gowns.
Sometimes these velvet bracelets
are set with large diamond or pearl
buttons or pinned with a cameo or q
seed pearl brooch.

made of thin hoops studded with col

feeding would produce, but that the
ewes were in good condition to pro-
duce strong vigorous lambs. 1t was a
noticeable fact that right straight
through the whole three years, the
lambs from the ewes having the succu-
lent feed. i. e.. silage averaged nearly
10 per cent larger at birth. AS to the
cost of feed, the ration including
silage proved the more economical.
while more satisfactory results were
obtained The lambs from these two
lots of ewes were all fed out for an
early market and those from each lot
did equally well, gaining nearly half
pound per day until they were sold.
The general results of this test rum
ming for three years show definitely
that the use of silage for ewes. even
in large amounts, will not interfere
with the health and thrift of the preg'
nant eve nor of her prospective
lamb Also, the succulence which the
silage affords seemed to promote the
thrift and general health Of the eve,
and because of the added health and
vigor. the foeti were better nourished,
with the consequent result that larg-
er lambs were produced. Furthermore
the producing of all these satisfactory
results did not affect the lambs IN
favorably. and the silage ration was
more economical.
Accurate data regarding the value
of siIage in a ration for fattening
sheep and lambs Is scarce, but what
there is indicates that it is useful AS
| far back as the early nineties the
Michigan experiment station fed some
lambs on silage and other foodstuffs.
The gist OF their findings is to the
effect that a mixture of folders COM
posed largely Of a good quality OF
silage proved cheap and successful
ration for fattening lambs
The Iowa station at Ames made
some comparative tests Of dry hays.
roots, and silage as roughness In 1905
and 1907 In lots fed the first winter,
the silage cheapened the ration con-
siderably During the second winter
the various lots were fed for long
period. 16S days, and the silage lot
refused to eat much silage, They ate
almost as much grain and hay as the
other lots did and the gain on these
silage lambs was more expensive than
was that with some of the other food
combinations. But the average OF the
two years was favorable to the use Of
| silage as a means of cheapening the
ration. The lambs from all lots fin
ished into market toppers, but the
dressed carcasses showed the silage
lambs a little superior on the hook
Taking these few experiments then
into consideration. and also the gen.
eral results which various feeders
have obtained in practical work. It
seems that sllage has an important
place among desirable and economical
feeds for fattening sheep.
1t is my opinion that silage can be
fed to sheep with satisfactory results.
The use of moldy or frozen silage may
cause trouble, but good clean bright
silage can be used with excellent re-
suits either as a succulent food for
breeding ewes in winter or as cheap
but satisfactory and efficient roughage
for fattening lambs and sheep This
oninion is based partially on observa-
tons of flocks which have been fed,
aud partially on the experiments
quoted above The results to date

valuable feed for sheep.

FLETCHER DEAD
 IN FIVE HOURS
 AFTER ARREST
Ranch Promoter Falls into Well Eighty-seven Feet Deep and Breaks Neck While Officer Waits for His Reappearance

Five hours after he had been arrest ed at the Hotel Adams yesterday morn ing on a charge of issuing fictitious checks in Los Angeles. w. $. Fletcher. land and ranch developer and promoter, lay dead with his neck broken, as the result of dropping eighty-seven feet to the bottom of an uncompleted well on his ranch lands eight miles south of Maricopa station. Whether there was suicidal intent will never be known, but there is presumption on the part of those informed in the incidents leading up to the arrest of the man. well as being familiar with his earlier history. that Fletcher preferred death to the ignOminy attaching to being brought into court on felony charges.
 Chief of Police A J. Moore some days ago received information that Fletcher was wanted in Los Angeles. 1t came through q personal letter from George w. Lyons. a constable of Los Angeles county. Immediately he put out a drag net for the man. It was understood that he frequently came to Phoenix and registered at the Commercial Hotel But Policeman Egly. who was detailed to the case, found Fletcher registered at the Hotel Adams. He re- ported to the chief that the man had been located and was instructed to bring him to the police station.
 When Fletcher was informed of the nature of the charges against him he expressed surprise but later agreed to return to Los Angeles without the for mality of securing his eXtraditiOn. Fol lowing this he requested that in view of the fact that the trip could be made without loss of time he be permitted to visit his ranch lands in the custody of an officer. Policeman Leo TrOutman was detailed to accompany Fletcher to MaricOpa and Policeman Egly was in structed to proceed to MarcOpa on the evening train and pick up his man and take him on to Los Angeles.
 Troutman left with Fletcher at 1 o'clock. A Maricopa the services of Perry Williams and his automobile were secured to take the party to the ranch of Fletcher, eight miles distant. About this time Deputy Sheriff Pow CTS appeared at Maricopa and an nounced that he had an attachment to serve at the instance of the Valley Bank. The entire party went to the Fletcher ranch in the same automi- bile.
 Fletcher appeared to be in a deep study from the time he left Phoenix
