Poison in Yolk of Eggs.

M. G. Loisel has arrived at the
somewhat startling conclusion that
the yolk of the eggs of fowls and
ducks, as we'll as those of the tortoise,
contains poisonous substances. When
isolated and injected into the veins OF
rabbits or other animals these prompt
ly cause death. The phenomena pro-

A numerously signed petition was
presented to the city council Tues
day evening for that body to try to
find ways and means for doing away
with the dual system of telephones,
it being understood that the Bell
company was willing to buy out the
Independent and that the latter
company was willing to sell.
Inasmuch as there will be more
people benefited than harmed by
the transaction, it looks as though
it would be the proper thing to do.
OF course. the council, before grant
ing an absolute franchise to the Bell
people should be sure that the people
were properly safeguarded in the
matter of rates, that Greeley may
get as square deal as any othel

CREDIT MEN GATHER
Have Banquet and Warm Dis

The Weld County Credit Mems
Association held its annual meeting
and luncheon In the parlors of the
Unitarian church last Wednesday
evening. A large part OF the even
ing was spent in discussing an edi-
torial on the credit system, published
Dec. %.
A resolution was introduced con-
demning the editorial. This was
lost, and an amendment passed, that
while not quite agreeing with the
Tribune conceded the force OF the
argument, but believed the figures
given were too high.
Another resolution passed In the
same connection was practically an
endorsement OF the Tribune editor
ial, and will have the effect OF more
careful methods in handling credits.
Both resolutions will be found on
the editorial page Of this issue.
Barring the little discussion that
grew heated at times, the luncheon
was delightful affair, and some
good suggestions were made by vari-
Gus members of the association for
business during the year 1906.

Protecting Wild Birds.

1t is generally we'll understood
that one of the most efficient means
of preventing the spread of noxious
weeds as we'll as the ravages of in
sects destructive Of vegetable life is
the protection of wild birds. AS yet
there has been very little legislation
In the various states having this OBJ
ject in view. There are statutes for
the protection Of some varieties of
game birds, but few, if any, laws
have been enacted to protect the
ordinary seed and insect eating
birds.
This economic aspect Of bird pro-
tective work is certain to receive
greater attention in the future, mas
much as the need for it is becoming
more apparent with the lapse of
time. There is also another aspect
to bird protective work than the
economic. The best test Of progress
in civilization is the growth in the
humane sentiment. The degree in
which mankind is considerate Of
birds and lower animals, ''fergittin
not that even critters has their
rights" is certain test of culture.
''The merciful man is merciful to
his beast" is a truth universal in its
application.
In recent years there has been
more or less instruction in the pub
lie school concerning both these as
poets of bird and animal protection.
For educating public sentiment out
side the schools two magazines are
published having this direct object
in view. These are Bird Lore and
Our Dumb Animals. Recently, for
the purpose of assisting the teachers
in the schools in imparting instruc-
tion relative to the protection of
the wild birds, the National Associa-
tion Of Audubon Societies of 14l
Broadway, New York, has issued a
series Of educational leaflets on
Our Common Birds Each leaflet
contains four-page description of
the habits and economic value of a
single species, and is illustrated with
an accurately colored plate showing
the male and female bird, photo.
graphs Of their nest and eggs, etc.
There is also-and for teachers this
seems valuable feature-a facsimile

children from the original, an object.

Ing the birds distinguishing marks
on the mind Of the student.
These leaflets and illustrations are
first published in Bird Lore, the
organ of the societies, and all teach
ers subscribing to this magazine will

copies Of each leafiet, two colored
plates and six outline drawings on
