Tired, But Clean and Neat Complain
That Government Will Not Let Them
Live According to Their Creed.
Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 4.—Not on a
religiouspilgrimage, but ' on a long
journey to find some country where
;they may live according to the I die
Cates of .their strange religions beliefs,
a party, twelve or the hand of Douk-
aSobors who left Swan Lake several
weeks .ago, arrived in Winnipeg this
morning, and are now resting and be-
ing eared for at the All People's Misr
sign.
In scattered groups of three and. four,
others of the party which reached
leadingly last mgnt continued to
come into the city all day, and being
met at the outskirts by policiemal,
were escorted to the mission, where
they will remain at least until they
experienee a . revival of their inclina-
tions to jti ander. The party at tine:
mission numbers thirty -lour, all being
now in.
The strange people all wore blue
smocks and despite the fact that they
hail travelea several hundred miles
on foot, all looked clean and neat.
The men do not differ in appearance
from other 'foreign immigrants, and,
were they clad is other clothes, would
never be identified. as Doukhobors.
Their hunger appeased, the wander-
ers thanked their benefactors, and
through G. Genick, of the Immigration
Department, consented to reply to any
questions which the press representa-
trees chose to ask them.
Asked where they were going, they
replied that they were in search of al
warmer climate, where they would not
have to eat cooked food, wear boots,
milk cows or do any other thing which
was. contrary to their religious be-
liefs.
Asked why they had left their homes,
they replied that the Government had
refused to let them live as they wiah-
ed, The, Government had promised them
this, and had given it to them and
taken it away again, They had no
money all they had having been left
behind with their brothers and sisters.
The Government had told them each
to go on his own homestead and live,
but they could not do this, so preferred
to go away. Asked how they expect-
ed to get to their destination, the
Douks replied that they were going
south, and would only wait in Winnipeg
till their other brothers and sisters, who
were on the way, arrived.

_._._ Yesterday a coin thrown t the ele-

bars,
There rose a piercing shriek from
Hoffman, followed instantly by a heavy
thud as he was flung. full force from
Gunda's trunk, and then the elephant
walked deliberately to the man and
prepared to trample him. As Ganda
was getting in position to crush the life
out of him Hoffman had sufficient•pres-

mal's tusks and wind one leg around
the thick part of the trunk. His screams
brought several keepers to the spot.

DOCTORS SHOULD COOK. jos,
Medical Students Require Schooling irl
the Culinary Art.
Berlin, Aug. 4.—Dr. Wilhelm Stern-
berg, the leading Berlin specialist, has
launched a campaign in favor of includ-
ing a course of cooking in the training of
physicians and surgeons.
He asserts that many doctors are in
the habit of preseribing a diet for their
patients with regard to only the chemi-
cal ingredients thereof, forgetting it is
not the nourishing qualities which the
food contains, but the relish wherewith
it is eaten which is the all-important
healing feature.
Physicians and surgeons, therefore, n
Dr. Sternberg's opinion, should receive
practical instruction in the culinary art,
and so may recommend not only the
strength of building -up food, but fodd
that tastes good when well cooked, and,
through being keenly appetizing, will as-
sist the process of recovery.
