The wonderful adaptability of the logged-off lands of Western Washington to the dairying industry is
verified by the prevalence of herds of fine blooded stock to lie found all up and down the coast of 1'iiKCt
Sound Here the abundant rainfall keeps the grass green almost the ycai round, and the climate is never
so severe that cattle cannot roam at large in winter. Conditions in general arc such as to make possible the
development of the highest type of animal life. Nearly all the representative breeds o.' cattle arc to be
fennd here, and large shipments of beef and dairy products are made from the railroad stations and Puget
Sound ports daily. Yet the Industry is still in its infancy.
Physician Proposes to
Substitute Laboratory
for the Electric Chair
"The great need of the day in ex
perimental medicine and surgery Is a
supply of live human beings to ex
perintcnt upon. I have no doubt that
with plenty of human material to ex
periment upon wizards like Carrel
and Flexner would within the next
two years solve almost all the prob
lems which arc yet baffling the medi
cal profession."
Thus spoke Dr. George G. Ram
baud, director of the Pasteur Insti
tute "I hold no brief to speak in
behalf of those scientists, and it may
be that they would even disapprove
of my suggestion, but I can't help
feeling that rabbits, sheep or even
gorillas are .very poor substitutes
for human beings when it come to
testing the remedies to be applied
to human beings.
"Let me give you a personal ex
ample of the difficulties we encounter
in our experimentation. Take hydro
probia. The period of incubation
is rather indefinite, though never
shorter than three weeks. I have
known people to be attacked by hy
drophobia as long as a year after be
ing bitten
"At the present day there is no
cure for hydrophobia. We can pre
vent it, but can not cure it. And
even our preventive medication is not
perfect. We give the patient one in
jection daily for eighteen days. Four
teen days afterward immunity is as
sured. Eighteen and fourteen days
make thirty-two days from the time
the patient is bitten until the pre-,
mtivc cure takes effect.
"Wc may make successful a dan
gerous experiment on the whole ani
mal series from the guinea pig to jhe
gorilla. Hut then it takes a pretty
nervy man, I would almost say a
conscienceless dare-devil, to jump
from gorilla to man. You are justi
fied in experimenting on a man who
is m a hopeless condition. If a pa
tient is doomed and a daring opera
tion might cither save his life or kill
him, you might take the risk. But
when a subject is otherwise strong
and healthy what can we do?
"I once saved a man's life by In
jecting tetanus serum directly into
lus brain, an operation never per
formed before in this country. I
might have never dared to do it,
however, if the other surgeons hadn't
declared the patient beyond their
help. If the man had had even the
slimmest fighting chance I would
not have submitted him to an un
tried experiment of whose technique
I was practically ignorant. As a
matter of fact, intracerebral injec
tions are not the least bit dangerous,
but at the time they were considered
an bound to result fatally.
"The cure for exophthalmic goitre,
or Graves' disease, was found in the
same way. A physician's wife was
suffering terribly from the disease
and losing ground very rapidly. In
fact, a brother physician had declared
to her husband that how long she
would live was only a question of
hours.
"My proposition may sound dread
ful to some sentimental and ignorant
souls. Still every man engaged in
surgical or bacteriological research
could recite cases of people who have
volunteered to take the place of
rabbits or guinea pigs in laboratories.
Everybody has read about the poison
squad how easy it was to find a
group of healthy young men ready
tc submit themselves to the action
of certain poisons under the super
vision of a scientist, There was no
material inducement; not even fame
was promised them.
"Dr. Carrel of the Rockefeller In
stitute once received a letter from a
boy who offered himself for expert
ments of any kind provided he could
obtain a pension for Ins mother.
"There is good material going to
waste every year in every state pris
on, going to waste without being of
any use to the world. I allude to the
men sentenced to death. Why de
stroy their lives wantonly, stupidly.
with the excuse that we arc making
them pay their debt to society? The
fact is that they are not paying any
thing at all.
"If a man has destroyed life can
we say that he reimburses the world
by having his own life destroyed?
If a firebug burns down my house
shall I go and burn his house? That
i too primitive, too childish to be
even discussed Dy executing a
murderer wc make the world poorer
by two human lives instead oft only
one, the'victim's. If a man destroys
value, property, isn't it more logical
to set him at work creating anew the
things destroyed, replacing the prop
erty damaged? Such is the use to
which I would put convicted crimi
nals. "Instead of the lethal chamber,
with its absurd and wasteful electric
chair, I would have in Sing Sing and
other prisons an experimental labor
atory. This was done in pant cen
turies and many a time surgeons of
the French and German courts were
authorized to try difficult operations
on people sentenced to die."
A GOOD EXAMPLE
Mr. Vincent Astor, who recently
became of age and came into the in
heritance of his father's estate, has
shown his manliness and hi dispo
sition to exercise a careful supervi
sion over the vast amount of wealth
now in his possession by making a
personal investigation of his estate
as one of the first acts of his ma
jority, in order that he might be
conversant with each separate piece
of property, but particularly that he
might know if any of his numerous
buildings were being used for im
moral purposes This step on the
part of Mr. Astor was prompted by
the revelations during recent inves
tigations into the vice -situation in
New York City that many of the
most notorious resorts of the city
were owned by men of at least nom
inal prominence. In many instances
these conditions existed because the
immediate owners had placed their
property in the hands of others who
did not exercise the proper amount
of precaution in leasing the build
ings. Mr. Astor has forestalled any
such condition in his properties by a
personal Inspection of them, doing it
quietly and without ostentation. It
is apparently a genuine and unsen
sational attempt on the part of a
large property owner to Inform him
self immediately and thoroughly of
tht condition of the property for
which he is ultimately responsible.
This action of Mr. Astor is laudable
and affords an excellent example to
other large property owners.
An Even Break.
Mr. Jinks: "You've spent H mortal
hours and $35 and what have you got
to show for it? One hat, worth about
3.50."
Mrs. Jinks: "True. And last week
you spent 5 days and $118, and what
have you got to show for it? One
fish story about a big trout that got
away, and an awful cold in your
head." Country Gentleman.

High Cost of
Living Due
for a Drop
"I believe the high cost of living
bugaboo will have disappeared two
cr from now."
Such was the declaration of Daniel
O. Lively, chief of the livestock dc
partmcut of the Panama-Pacific Ex
position, in the court of a discussion
in the international livestock show in
Chicago recently.
"This country Is going to see won
ders worked by the farmers and live
stock raisers within the next few
years," he said. "Everywhere I go
and everything I hear indicates that
ue are on the threshold of an era of
great prosperity."
Mr. Lively blames the underpro
duction of cattle for the present con
dition of living costs. He said the
bulk of Western lauds are best fitted
for stock grazing and that the farm
c sold his birthright for a mess of
cold turkey when he turned from the
splendid beef production of the old
days to raising grain.
"The production of livestock I
going to grow in leaps and hound
for the reason that the farmer and
smalt ranchman finally have realized
the profit there is in raising livestock
'especially as contrasted again!
truck farming," he continued. "The
generous prices paid for stock in the
open market, combined with the
work of the agricultural colleges to
ward this end, has helped convince
the farmer that he'd better change
and reap this new field Two years
will see the West back at its old
game of cattle raising and perhaps
the old-style cowboy may come back,
too "
Big Land Sale
Gradually and surely, the remain
ing lauds in Indian reservations are
being sold out to settlers and the na
tive American i being crowded into
cloier quarters Just now the big
gest sale of lands ever conducted by
the Government is in progress in Ok
lahoma, in the Choctaw and Chicka
saw nations, the area comprising ag
ricultural, coal and timber lauds.
It was begun at Chickasaw and
will close at Odabel, in McCtirtaiu
county, on December Sith. The land
is in 'ii counties and is being told at
the county seats.
Some of the 000,000 acres contains
timber, but the most of it is valu
able for agricultural or grazing pur
poses. When the lands of the Choc
taws and Chickasaws were allotted
among those tribes there was a con
siderable portion left over in each of
the Indian nations, and it is this resi
due that is now being disposed of.
In addition to the unallotted lands
there are to be sold also the segre
gated coal and asphalt lands and tim
ber tracti of the Choctaw and Chick
asaw nations, and it is understood
that these will go on the market soon
after January 1st. There are 415,000
acres of the mineral and coal lands,
and 1,'."J2,000 acres of segregated tim
ber lands.
The men who appraised the Okla
homa timber lands were experts, who
came as a rule from Ilritish Colum
bia and other portions of the North
west, The expert appraisers were amazed
at the conditions they found and
which upset the theories of the For
estry Ilureau relative to reforesta
tion. They found that the areas from
which timber had been cut was re
foresting naturally and the new
giowth of timber to be in a flour
ishing condition. In the rapidly dis
appearing pine forests of the north,
and. on the mountain ranges of the
Northwest, it is well established that
the only means of reforesting an
area from which the timber has
been cut or burned is by a tedious
and expensive method.

Natural Flesh Tints
Tlit'iv is no improving n Nature. When art es.snyH

effective. This was the prompting idea in the invention of
Pears' Soap

wholly of such pure emollient and detergent ingredients
as the skin naturally and freely responds to.
Pears never spoils the natural flesh tinUs. It im
proves them, by keeping the skin soft, fine and pure. Its
influence is so kind, beneficial and refining that its ust
