Washington, Nov. 29.-Depreda-
tions of predatory animals accompa-
MED by outbreaks of rabies among
them in parts of Oregon, California,
Nevada, Idaho and Utah, resulted in
the shooting, trapping and poisoning
CT over 1000 coyotes during the last
fiscal year by hunters in the employ
of the Biological Survey of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Altogether, over $4,000 noxious ami
mails, including wolves, coyotes, noun
tain lions and bobcats, were destroyed.
The seriousness of the outbreaks of
rabies will be realized when it is
stated that more than 60 presons were
treated by state authorities of Ne
vada during the year on account of
having been bitten by either wild or
domestic animals. The loss of live
stock has been very heavy. At Win

This shows the absolute democracy
at the bottom of Sweden. The United
States, too, have some influence on
the national mind, though the "ruling
classes" would scarcely admit it.
"The population of Sweden outside
the big Cities" a Swedish editor re-
marked, "knows more about the Unit
ed States than they do about any
other country. And most of them
known Chicago, Minneapolis, New
York and other American cities better
than they do Stockholm. The reason
for this is plain. Many Swedes have
gone to the United States. They have
ret with success there. They like
the country. SO they write home glow
ing accounts of the great country,
the cities and towns, and tell the
folks at home how this and that is
done in the States. All this has a di-
rect influence. 1t may not be pressing
and aggressive, but it is constant.

DEMOCRATIC MASSES
OFSWEDENKEEP THEIR
NATION OUT OF WAR

Sweden is sure to become a republic
some day. Not because it wants to
copy any other nation, but because
the whole tendency of democracy is
in that direction, and Sweden, heart
ard soul, is democratic. l don't mean
that we ore going to become re-
lubic next week. We will simply evo-
lutte into republic-do it by o vote
Of the people, by consent Of the ma
jority.
"For, believe me, the majority has
it's say in Sweden, and perhaps that
is why the Queen, exceedingly intel
igent though she is, and all the court
officials, mobiles and "ruling classes" J"
have not had any great influence in
placing Sweden on the side of Ger
many. Like the United States, most
Swedes do not want war. And, though
there was danger at one time of Swe-
den coming in, l believe all danger is
past now."

TO PROPERLY NOURISH
BODY FOODS MUST BE
CAREFULLY SELECTED
Nv DR.. Samuel G.. Dixon

>
PENNSYLVANIA Commissioner of Health.
We have many among us who be-
lieve themselves intelligent, and yet
are starving to death.
The human body represents the most
complicated piece of machinery known
to man. To maintain it we must sup
ply it with albumin, found in meats,
beans and some of the other vege-
tables. 1t must have starch or sugar,
found in bread, potatoes and sweets.
We must have fats also, found in
meats, nuts and so on, and, of course,
pre-eminently in butter and good
milk.
The body also demands certain salts
such as are found in many of the vege-
tables if they are not robbed of them
by being soaked in water before or
during the process of cooking.
These constituent parts of the diet
must be intelligently proportioned.
We must urge our educators to teach
children of understandable age the
scheme of selecting rational com,
b;nation of foodstuffs.
At present we want real all-aroune
f. mily physicians whom mothers car
crsult as to how to feed their flocks
including the grownups Of the house
hold as we'll as the small children.

Stockholm, Nov. Z (By maiD-De-
spite the fact that the queen of Swe-
den is German, and the crown prin-
cess, her daughter-in law, is English,
it is said they never have clashed over
the war.
The Queen of Sweden, formerly
Princess of Baden, has the reputation
of being one of the most intelligent
women in Sweden. From the start of
the war she has been center of pro-
German sentiment, but the Grown
Princess, formerly Princess Margaret
of Connaught, is said to be the most
tactful of women, and the combina-
ton of intelligence and tact has pre-
vented rupture between mother-in-law
and sons wife-a relation notoriously
hard to maintain.
1t, is said here that for some weeks
row the Queen is no longer as active
as formerly she was reported to be.
Until some three months ago she had
rs her right bower her kinsman, son
of a daughter by morgaaatic mar
rage, Prince Douglas Of Ludwig, Of
Bavaria, and therefore as German as
she. His death was a distinct loss
to the pro-Germans. AS Marechal of
the Court, his influence was great,
and it was through him mostly that
the Queen exerted Jan influence on
the politics of Sweden as they bore
upon the war.
The University of Upsala, oldest and
most influential in the country, is
another center of conservatism and
pro-Germanism. This is perhaps be-
cause the university classes belong to
the "ruling classes" or nobility, and
the nobility seems to see something
menacing to itself in the destruction
of the ruling mobiles of Germany.
But if Queen, court, army circles and
the nobility, or "ruling classes" OF
Sweden, are pro-German, why did not
Sweden long ago join the war on the
side of the Central Powers?
asked this question of number
of men-bankers, editors and business
men. Summed up, the reply was
this:
The bulk of the population of Swe-
den is democratic in the extreme.
There is even fairly strong current
in Sweden favoring republican form
of government. Once year, regular
ly, some one gets up in the legisla-
ture and proposes a republic. He is
not howled down. He is not hanged
nc a traitor. He is not imprisoned for
lcse majesty. To the contrary, ne IS
listened to quite as though he were
proposing the building of a postof-
flee at Haparanda or increasing the
tax on tobacco. A debate follows-a
warm debate-various members OF
the body of law makers stating their
views on the subject. Then comes
vote and the republic is defeated.

Fact of the matter is that it was
Just this point-considered the cham

defeat Robert Gardner for the ma
tional title, and which carried him to
victory in the open tournament some
time earlier. Of course, there were
few times when Evans nerves were
strained by the nature of the puts
he was forced to make, but the fact
that he had lost many matches in his
lo1g career as a tournament player
through poor putting made his per-
fo1mance stand out.

Experiments to determine economic
methods of controlling land crabs were

mated to have destroyed GO per cent
of the tomato plants of the locality,

was found that the crabs could be
exterminated by introducing 5 or o
