Preventing Premature 1uriais.

The fear of being buried alive al
ways has been, and Is, so widespread
that the French Academy of Science
some years ago offered a prize equal
to $500 for the discovery Of some
means by which even the inexperi-
enced might at once determine wheth-
er, In given case, death had ensued
or not. A physician obtained the
prize. He had observed the following
well-known signs: If the hand OF the
suspected dead person is held towards
a candle or other artificial hight, with
the fingers extended and one touching
the other, and one looks through the
spaces. between the fingers towards
the light, there appears scarlet red
color where the fingers touch each
other, due to the blood still circulat.
ing; 1t shows Itself through the It's
sues which have not ret congested.
When life is entirely extinct, the phe-
nomenon Of scarlet spaces between
the fingers at once ceases. The most
extensive and thorough trials estab-
lished the truth of his observation.

shipped to the United States navy
yard at Brooklyn, N. Y. Instead OF

the accused men, it is charged, de-
posted it with the Madison bank to

CONFESSES GIVING WHISKY
Brakeman Who Caused Death Of 10
Year Old Boy With Liquor Sem
fenced to Five Years.

Sparta.-Arthur S. Deaney, rail-
road brakeman, was sent to Wau-
pun to start a five year sentence for
the death of 10-year-old Lawrence
Hunter, to whom Deaney admitted
having given whiskey which caused
his death. Deaney pleaded guilty and
was sentenced by Judge E. c. Higbee.
No one was present in the court
room when Sheriff Boss brought Dea~
ney into court. Owing to popular in
dignatiOn against the man at Little
Falls, the home of the Hunter boy
near here, Deaney's confession was
kept secret.
Immediately after Judge Higbee
had pronounced sentence, Boss and
his prisoner boarded the train for
Waupun.

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid of "Ceffee Habit"

The Injurious action Of coffee on the
hearts Of many persons is well known
by physicians to be caused by caffeine.
This Is the drug found by chemists in
coffee and tea.
A woman suffered long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give mp cot
fee, as that was the principal cause Of
the trouble. She writes:
my heart was so weak It could not
do it's work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it woxld seem that
I would never breathe again.
"The doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness Of my heart. He
said I must stop It, but 1t seemed /

in bed with nervous prostration.
"For eleven weeks I lay there and
suffered. Finally husband breaght

No WAR TAX On
CANADIAN LANDS
Untruthful Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.

OBTAINING O. neighbor at the expense
of the truth does not help those who are
guilty Of the practice, and 1t may be
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Canadian lands, In the
hope that they may secure customers
for their own, will certainly fail Of
their purpose. False statements SO
maliciously circulated will sooner or
later be disproved. And, as in the
case of the lands Of Western Canada,
the fertility of which Is now SO wen
known to people of every state in the
United States, the folly of this work
shows an exceeding short sighted
ness on the part Of those guilty Of the
practice.
The present war has given some OF
these people the opportunity to exer-
else their art, but In doing It they are
only arousing the curiosity Of those
who read the statements and trifling
investigation will only reveal their un-
truthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re-
Gently appeared In number Of pa
pers, reading In part as follows
ut Is believed that as result of the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana
dian Government q number Of former
Dakota farmers who went TO the Brit
ish Northwest will be compelled to re-
turn to the United States. Informa-
ton has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm OF 100 acres, which In the case
of many of the former residents OF the
two Dakotas would practically amount
to confiscation."
To show that the public has doubt
ed, hundreds Of Inquiries have been
made the Government at Ottawa,
Canada, only to bring out the most en-
phattc denial. A full-f1edged lie OF this
kind has, of course, only short life,
and will tell in the end against those
who forge it and spread 1t, but, as
Winnipeg paper points out, 1t is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos
that rival farming propositions need
audacious mendacity of this descrip-
ton to help them.
What is the truth? The Saskatche-
wan Government has authorized levy
of SO per quarter section on unculti"
waited lands owned by non-residents.
The Alberta Government has imposed
@ Provincial tax CT 10 mills on the as.
sessed value of all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications OF
these taxes, but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by non-residents in Western Can
ada form a grave problem. They are
making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. By having them
cultivated the owners as well as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. It is for this reasoa
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation of the non-resi-
dents. The high price of grain for
some years to come, and the general
splendid character of Western Canada
land win make the question well
worth Observation-Disclosures.
