HOW TIGER KILLS HIS PREY
Altarka 1 »on th. Klank and Hr.«,«
th. Animal*« N.«k.
1 have taken considerable trouble to
find out bow tigers kill largo game,
writes un aaxlsiattt controller of for-
ft* La at I’erah. Some time ugo I was
asked to come and ace a full grown bul
lock that hud been killed by a tiger.
On examining it I found the animal
had Ila neck broken and tliere were
claw marks on the now» and »boulder,
but nowhere else. There was no doubt
Unit the tiger had Jumped at the bull
and lam let 1 ou the shoulder and when
the bull turned his head to gore the
tiger lie must have put bls claw out
and with a sudden Jerk broken the
neck.
Ou another occasion I went to
a young buffalo which had been killed
by a tiger «nd found the same thlug
marks on the nose and also on the
rear shoulder, which clearly Indicated
tluit thia animal had been killed In the
same way. Malaya who have actually
seen a tiger killing a buffalo told me
they aaw the same thing happen, also
that In dragging off a heavy earcaaa
such aa buffalo or bull be geta most
of the weight across bls shoulder.
Thia must be fairly correct, aa I
have often followed a kill and the
marks left Indicated that ouly a |sxr-
tlon of the animal was trnlllug along
the ground. 1 have knowu a full-
grown bull which ten men could not
move dragged for two miles by a tiger
in heavy Jungle, where roots of trees
and swaiqp had to Is- gone through.
In no canes have I m>n the pug marks
facing the wrong way except when
stopping to feed, which proves he must
carry a iwirtlou of the animal over his
shoulder.
The old idea of a tiger killing large
game by a blow from his paw Is non
sense. Besides, In this country a tiger
never faces his prey, but attack» him
ou the flank unless charged. Another
curious fact that may aeem like a
fairy tale Is that a tiger does not seem
to mind a small lamp being tied over
a kill about ten feet high, but will
come and feed, I have known three
oceitslons whvu this has been tried,
and each time a tiger has come to
feed upon the carcass.

If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the
game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy
ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reason
able amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the
health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one’s
improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches,
etc. It is all-important, however, in selecting a laxative, to
choose one ot known quality and excellence, like the ever pleas
ant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effect
ually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after
effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs,
simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without
griping, irritating, or debilitating the internal organs in any way,
as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature.
As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu
facture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most
beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their
general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con
sidering in making purchases.
It is because of the fact that SYRUP ©F FIGS
is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by
physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well
informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain
quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a
bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a
laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the
genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size
only, by al) reputable druggists and that full name of the
company — California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on
the front of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle.
