OF an Interesting Lecture
Given Saturday
PROF. FRANK TUBBS
Addresses the Children Dur
ing Story Hour
Speaker Says There are Just as
Beautiful Birds in Marion County
as in the Tropics

The "Story Hour at the Pub
lie Library this morning proved
more interesting than any of its
predecessors, this being especially
true of the older boys and girls.
Prof. Frank ID. Tubbs talked for
nearly an hour and during that pc
riod held the closest attention of
his 100 youthful auditors.
I His subject was "Birds" and
he very sensibly talked not about
the birds themselves, but explained
the distinguishing characteristics of
the various species that frequent
Marion county. This gave the
youngsters something tangible to
work on and the result was that
at the end Of the story hour, nearly
every child eagerly sought the lib
rarian for books dealing with
birds. -5-
Mr.. Tubbs explained that it re-
quired keen eyes, keen ears, gen
tie ways and infinite patience to
know birds. lie thought there
were just as beautiful birds around
us in Marion county as there were
in the tropics, if only the children
would make their acquaintance.
There are, according to Prof.
'Tubbs, as many as two hundred
kinds of birds in this vicinity,
about fifty varieties frequenting
the city dooryards. The following
list Of twenty of the more common
birds now here was given the child
rem and the children are eager to
look for them now that their in

Easy To Mix This.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper,
giving a simple prescription, as form.
ulated by a noted authority, who
claims that he has found a positive
remedy to cure almost any Ease of
backache or kidney or bladder
arrangement, in the following simple
prescription, If taken before the stage
of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract DaudeliOn, One-half
ounces: Compound KargOn, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-knOwn druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescrip-
ton, stated that the ingredients are all
harmless, and can be obtained at a
small cost from any good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put up if asked to do so. He further
stated that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic Attic.
tiOns with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and urinary
troubles and backache, as it has a
peculiar action upon the kidney struc-
ture, cleaning these most important
organs and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids and
waste matter which cause sickness and
suffering. Those of our readers who
suffer can make no mistake in giving
1t a trial.
