down to the fact that what 80 many Of
their neighbors said must be true. Any
medicine that is endorsed like Doan's

liens soon becomes household rem
edy. Ask any citizen of Honolulu
what will cure kidney trouble and the
answer invariably Is "Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills"
Mr.. Charles Comey, of Cyclomere
street, this city, is one of the many
persons who have tried Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills with great advant-
age. He relates his experience thus:
Il have been hack driver for num-
Der of years past and this Is an occu
patton in which, through exposure to
weather and much jumping up and
down from the vehicle, one Is partic-
ularly liable to kidney complaint. I
suffered myself, from lame back for
long while, and in my anxiety to get
rid of 1t tried several things which did
not reach the root Of my trouble. An
advertisement acquainted me with
what grand work Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills were doing, and / got
some of them at the Hollister Drug
Co.'s store. used them and with very
much profit, for they relieved my back
wonderfully"

and also the provinces Of Manitoba and
Ontario. The only states that have spe-
cial legislation for plume birds are Flor
ida and Texas.
In view of the widespread prejudice
against birds OF prey it is perhaps not
surprising that comparatively little pro-
lection is given to them. Only a few
years ago several states tried to exter-
inmate hawks and owls by means of
bounties, and, although most of the
bounties have been withdrawn, protection
is withheld still, even In states which
have the most comprehensive laws. Some
effort Is now being made to distinguish
the useful from the injurious birds Of
prey Nine states and the District of
Columbia protect turkey buzzards, three
states forbid the killing of eagles, one
protects fish hawks, while one prohibits
the killing of any hawks or owls In ad-
dition buzzards, owls and certain hawks
are included by implication in the list Of
species protected in Illinois, Minnesota
and New York. The services of turkey
buzzards as scavengers are invaluable.
The protection of eagles is probably
based on sentimental rather than eco
nomic grounds, and is inspired by a de-
sire to insure against determination the
bird which has been adopted as the ma
tional emblem Ohio includes eagles in
its list Of protected species, and Connec-
tiGut protects them by a special law,
while New Hampshire has prohibited the
killing of any bald eagles before 1902 I'M

East by the yellow-shafted flicker and in
the West by the red-shafted flicker, are
the only ones which are killed to any ex-
tent for food. They are still regarded
as legitimate game in some sections, but
apparently are so treated by law only in
Nevada, which fixes an open season. Like
other woodpeckers the flicker is mainly
insectivorous. Fliekers are more terres-
trial than other woodpeckers, and large
part of their animal food consists of
ants, which constitute nearly half the
food of the year They also eat May
beetles, swapping beetles, carabids, or
predacious ground beetles, and grasshop-
pers. A bird with such a record is far
too valuable to be killed for food, and is
entitled to al the protection ordinarily
accorded to -insectivorous species.
