OWNS BIG
HERD OF BUFFALO
From the New York World.

Aioih thC iNC" YIN "oiAd
The Canadian government is meeting
i }ag with signal success in it's efforts to
Preserve the buffalo from the swift eX-
junction which threatened it Il few
! ears ago. This is shown in a report
IA the growth of the herd at Vain
might Buffalo park. Alberta, just
t sued by j. Il. Harkin, dominion parks
commissioner,
The report shows that in April, 1909,
ltae herd numbered 4O2. Since then it
as gradually increased at the rate of
i,GoGt zoe Il Year, until today it num-

al%est III The world, dates back TO

The herd increased under their care

carried out by IS cowboys, horsemen

TESTS FOR DIABETES.

There are 1000, 900 of diabetes in
the United States. The best authorities
are agreed that it is advisable for a
diabetic to learn a few laboratory tests
n to note for himself the effect OF
certain diets. The most Intelligent dia-
bette with whom | have had close con-
tact kept himself in very good condi-
ton for 20 years. He was taught to
perform a few simple laboratory tests.
For a while he experimental with him
self to determine just what he could eat
and how much. During this period of
experimentation he tested his urine for
quantity of uga every time he voided
any. Having worked out a dietary for
himself. he discontinued strenuous lab
oratory examinations, only making tests
at considerable intervals.
Benedict's test for the presence of
sugar: Five c. c. (about so ,drops) or
II little more than a t~easpoonful of Ben
edlct's solution is placed in q test tube
and s to 10 drops of urine is added.
The mixture is then boiled vigorously
for three minutes. If no sugar is pres
ent, the solution will remain blue.
There may be a slight precipitate, but
the solution remains a blue. If there is
less than one third of 1 per cent sugar
the mixture remain blue so long as it
is boiling; but, as it cools, it turns
green or even yellow. II more sugar
is present the mixture turns green
'ihiS W. - lilC quantity 10 Il Z, lilS
color is yellow or even red.
To make Benedict's solution, mix So
dunn citrate, 173 grams, and sodium
carbonate tcrystallized). zoo, in 700
PARTS of hot distilled water. Filter. Mix
copper sulphate (pure crystals), 17.3,
solution No. 2 into solution No. /, stir
ring constantly. Add enough cold dis
titled water to make LOCO parts.
Tests for Amount of Sugar in the
Urine-lt being known that sugar is
present in the urine, it is desirable to
know the quantity. Joslin teaches.his
patients to test the urine for the guam
ttty Of sugar, as follows:
Benedict's test-1O c. G. of urine and
80 C. c. of water are mixed. Half OF
this. or 80 c. G.. is poured into . hura1:
IS C. C. of Benedict's solution is meas
ured into a white porcelain evaporating
dish: 10 to 20 grams of crystalliZed So
dunn carbonate and a small quantity
of powdered purnice stone or talcum
are added to the solution in the porce-
ain dish. The mixture is heated to
boiling. While the solution is boiling
the diluted urine is run into it from the
buret until the blue color is gone. To
get the percentage Of sugar divide so by
the number of c. c. of diluted urine re-
quired to decolorize the copper.
To make enedict's cumulative So
luton dissolve 200 rams of crystal

sodium citrate, and 1875 grams of potas-
SUM sulphate cyanide in enough water

The presence of the moving picture
men in such numbers ut the front does
~ mean that the governments are
going into the show business. The

expense, become matters of official rec

no previous war has such com

Prohibition Fails Aaain.

The state tax commissioner of West

and drunkenness Is per cent. But what

TRINIDAD YOUTH SLAIN
MURDERED BY CATTLE RUS.
Tiers NEAR SCOTT RANCH.
James Scott Shot Short Distance
From Spot Where Father Was
Killed Over a Year Ago.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Trinidad.-A short distance from the
spot where his father, James Scott,
was shot and killed year and half
ago. William Scott, 10, was murdered
by cattle rustlers near the Scott ranch,
fourteen miles northwest OF Trinidad.
Scott and a younger brother set out
from the house late in the day and
came across two men skinning the
carcass of a calf. The men fled, and
William Scott remained with the car
cass while his younger brother re-
turned to the house for horses with
which to overtake the fugitives. When
he returned he found his brother dead
with bullet wound through the heart.
The carcass had disappeared.
Posses are securing Las Animas
county in search of the two men. The
younger boy described the men as un-
dersized and of foreign appearance,
presumably either Mexican or Italian.
James Scott, justice of the peace
in this district, and the father of the
murdered boy, met his death while
driving down road near his ranch in
April, 1915. Six weeks later Frank
Fucurino was found guilty of the muir
der and sentenced to a life term in
the penitentiary. Police authorities
do not believe the two murders have
any connection.

ed the proposal to embody in its can
ons a provision forbidding its clergy
men to solemnize marriage for a per-
son divorced from a living spouse.
The six hours debate which pre-
ceded the action indicated wide diff
ference of opinion among members of
the church. The recommendation was
contained in the report of joint COM
mittee composed of five bishops, five
clergymen and five laymen, appoint
ed three years ago to study matters
relating to matrimony.
By its action the lower house of

Reading for a Boy.

We wish we could get the boys to
read ''In Tune With the Infinite" Lub-
books pleasures of Life" Drum
mond's Natural Law in the Spiritual
World" Wagner's The Simple Life"
Serviss' Astronomy With an Opera
Glass" and similar books, all of which
could be read in the time that boy
usually fritters away. 1t needn't take
away a moment of the time devoted to
fun and play, though it might divide
time with the usual branches of study.
We speak of the above books be-
cause they tend to awake ones divine
energies and make ones life nobler
and happier. The greatest part of
lad is his spirit. With that, impulses,
aspirations and tendencies are created.
Without it, his life becomes negative
and vague. These books in places may
be little difficult to appreciate, but
a boy can get some flavor from them
that will be n decided benefit to him.
1t is the way to acquire diligence, pur-
pose, insight into the meaning of
things, the love of duty, the grand
heights of self-reliance, traits and
qualities that glorify boy.
The fact is the boys spirit Is mis-
used at home and school because it Is
not fed on the food that strengthens
1t. 1t cyphers and parses and refuses
to admit to its heart, courtesy, cOur-
age, work, aspiration, reverence and
other divinities that are knocking to

will change all that and actually put
