any more. It's the little, smart, al

AT THE MURRAY

In the Paul J. Rainey African Hunt
Pictures which come to the Murray
theatre tomorrow and Wednesday, is
shown one of the most marvellous mo-
ton pictures ever taken. 1t reveals
the trailing and killing of an African
leopard by a pack of hunting dogs. At
different times motion picture manu-
facturers have tried to reproduce wild
animals by using broken down circus
animals. The pictures always showed
plainly the subterfuge and gave no
more idea of a big game hunt than a
Autographed poster on wall. But
the Rainey pictures are SO obviously
the real thing that nobody ever thinks
of questioning their genuinenesS.
The leopard hunt starts with prepa
rations in camp. The horses are sad
died and mounted, the gun bearers fall
in behind, the trailing dogs runabout
at random until they find the spoor or
scent, when instantly the greatest ex-
citement prevails. The fighting dogs
are unleashed and off go all the hunt
ers, hot in pursuit of the leopard
which, despite it's fleetnes, is soon
overtaken.
Then the leopard is plainly shown
being driven down from a small tree
and up to the topmost branches of a
taller tree. And then a most wonder
full sight is revealed, for two of the
dogs, contrary to their nature, actu-
ally climb the tree in their eagerness
to get at the leopard, and the fight is
resumed almost in midair. The Loop
ard leaps to the ground. is Immediate
ly bounced upon by the fighting dogs,
and a royal battle ensues, which is
ended only when leopard has been
killed without a shot being fired
Mr.. Rainey was the first big game
hunter to prove that both the leopard
and the lion can be hunted success
fully with dogs. 1t is most likely that
from now on all hunters who invade
the big game country of British East
Africa will carry along pack of dogs.

I~HERE are some disadvan-
tages that naturally accrue
where any one policy OF
life is carried to an extreme.
On this last point the learned
Dr. Kulmitz, physician to the
King of Siam, has recently con-
tributed little pamphlet, a copy
of which the doctor was so kind
as to send me.
In this booklet the claim is
made that ali diseases are caused
by either too much excitement or
not enough
Excitement. OF course, increases

thought flows-all the secretions
are active.
Up to certain point this is
well, for the digestion is aided,
lungs expanded. and the glands.
through exercise, are in condition
to do their perfect work.
But If the excitement is con-
tinued beyond this certain point,
the bodily functions become de-
ranged, the nerves get tired of the
tension. and eventually we will
have a case of nerves" variously
known as "Americanitis". or ner-
vous prostration, with fine ar
ray of local symptoms, covering
every sort of twinge and tired
feeling.
On the other hand are the dis
eases and complaints that come
from lack of excitement--that is,
too much Canned Life. The poor
creatures perish for the lack of
fresh thought. First in the list of
diseases caused by the lack of
excitement our learned author
names cancer which he explains
is caused originally by faulty
circulation.
A stoppage occurs, and Nature
tries to relieve the distressed
point by sending more blood to
the spot.
Then we get congestion and
