Monday morning, when JEFF Saunders
living in Buckeye township. went ont
about six O'Clock to DO his morning
chores to his great surprise found his
barn smouidering IN ashes. Besides
several tons OF hay z7i small amount
Of grain; there were also IN the barn.
four head Of work horses. five milk
COWS, two young calves and several
sets OF harness. The loss is estimated
at s, coo. with $50 insurance on the
barn and no insurance on the stock or
feed It was severe loss as the in
surance money viii not pay the loss On
the barn let alone the balance Of the
chattels that went up IN the smoke. It
Is thought the FIRE occurred between
the hours OF three and six O'Clock IN the
morning as the young man who Is help
ing him had been out, presumably to
visit his sweetheart, returned at three
O'Clock and put the horse he had been
riding IN the barn and there was no
sign Of fire then The young man 5id
not use tobacco in any form and was
not in the habit Of carrying matches,
and it seems mystery how the FIRE
started.

Some Facts About HovIer the Well
Howler the Wolf belongs to family
against which man has ragged relentless
war since the beginning Of things. Yet,
despite ceaseless hunting and trapping,
he still holds his own IN many places.
The great Gray or Timber Welt, which
is the largest American member of the
family, once roamed all over North
America, but is now confined largely to
the West and Southwest and to Canada,
ranging clear to the Arctic region,
where he becomes white.
Howler looks very much ike large
dog. Indeed, he Is closely related to
the dog tribe. He is wonderfully keen
of scent, feet OF foot and sound of
wind. Wolves hunt mostly In packs,
especially when in pursuit OF large
game In this way they pull down deer,
elk, even the lordly moose, when they
can catch him deep snow. On the
ranges they raise havoc with cattle,
sheep and even horses.
Howler's jaws are very wide and
strong, and his method OF fighting is TO
jump in, slash with his great teetn, and
jump out again By nature he is
coward, but when starving or cornered
will fight desperately. A pack viii at
tack man if driven to it by hunger, and
IN Russia this not infrequently happens.
Howler usually mates for life. The den
is usually in so-called bad lands where
they are not likely to be disturbed
They will not hesitate to kill and de-
YOUR the weak or injured Of their own
pack, and in this particular are unlike
and a degree lower than other animals,
so the race is always strong and virile.
The howl of the wolf is one Of the most
fearsome sounds in the forest.-Thorn-
ton w. Burgess, in The Peoples Home
Journal for February.

CALIFORNIA; EFFORT TO
 SUPPRESS "FAkE HEALERS"
Two injunction Suits Are Pending
 Against Alleged "Quacks"

Washington, Dec. 20.--California's s so-called "drug1ess healer laws, en- acted in 1913, were attacked as un- constitutional in two injunction suits of P. L. Crane, Los Angeles chiro- practor, and Mrs. Kate P. McNaughton, a Los Angeles opthomologist. No Christian Scientists were parties to the suits, but have been watching them because of the statutes exemption of Christian Science and other prayer practitioners from examination and H- censing by the state medical board.
 The laws. designed to suppress osteopaths, neuropaths, chiropra cites and other so-called drugless headers to have certain physiological knowledge California federal courts refused to enjoin enforcement of the statutes under the soud discretion of the court" but without deciding their va lidity. In the Supreme Court, the state authorities contended it was not necessary for that court to decide their constitutionality, but merely pass on the discretion exercised by the lower court, the California state courts hav- ing upheld the statutes and Crane and Mrs. McNaughton not having applied for licenses.
 Exemption given Christian Science was attacked as unconstitutional in the injunction suits. It was contended that, the law gives Christian Scien- lists a monopoly in prayer practice" discriminates against druglesss prac- titioners of every school of drugless healing in favor of those using prayer only, is class Legislation, and an arbi- trary exercise of the states police powers"
 These charges were denied by the state authorities. The state supreme court had declared both laws exercise of the state police authority. The re- quirement upon drugless healers to have rudimentary knowledge of anat- omy, hygiene, bacteriology, materia medica and other subjects was de- clared reasonable, for protection of citizens against treatment by persons without medical knowledge.
 Twenty-Five other states and, terri tories it was said have similar exemp- tions in favor of Christian Science and other prayer practitioners. These are Maine. New Hampshfre Connecticut,
