HUGE LOSS BY BIRD DECREASE.
Audubon Society Chief Says Sum
Would Total Big Amount.

New York.-Because of the decrease
in birds, the United States is losing
yearly without protest sum larger
than the capitalization of all the ma
tional banks in the country, was the
statement made by President William
butcher Of the National Association
Of Audubon Societies. at the annual
meeting of the association here. The
public, declared Mr.. butcher, placid
ly allows agricultural crops valued at
$500, 100000 to be annually destroyed
by insects, which destruction is en-
tirely due to the rapid decrease in the
number of insectivorous birds in the
country.
"If million or more dollars are
lost through the management OF a
bank or other fiduciary institution
he said, ut creates wave of protest
throughout the entire country, yet a
yearly loss equal to the entire capital
ization of the national banks Of the
country creates no comment what
ever, simply because the public do
not realize what is going on"
Mr.. butcher said that the associa-
tion was in position to do good work
along the line of protection to birds,
but in order to successfully carry on
its work it should have larger en-
dowment fund and far larger mem
bership.

does not affect the nerves as ordinary

TO PRETEN DERs.
A Wholesome Word for Guidance.

Just word to you, Golfers" and
other glaring examples of Modern
Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes.
Environment gives you a viewpoint
from which it is difficult to under
stand that some people even nova
days act from motives of old fashion
ed honesty.
There are honest makers of foods
and healthful beverages and there are
honest people who use them.
Perhaps you are trained to believe
there is no honesty in this world.
There is, although you may not be
Of kind to understand it.
Some of you have been trained in a
sorry class Of pretenders, but your
training does not taint the old fashion
ed person trained without knowledge
of pretense and deceit.
These letters came to US absolutely
without solicitation. We have a great
many thousand from people who have
been helped or entirely healed by fol-
lowing the suggestions to quit the
food or drink which may be causing
the physical complaints and change
to Postum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food.
You are not intelligent enough to
know the technical reasons why the
change makes a change in the cells
of the body. Your knowledge, or lack
of knowledge, makes not the slightest
difference in the facts.
You can print from old and worn
plates all the cheap books your
presses will produce and sell them as
best you can, but such acts and your
learned" editorials are but CONNER
cial, and seek only dollars" and much
by pretence.
When you branch out into food
values you become only ridiculous.
Stick to what you know. The field
may be small but it Is safe.

ent railroad rates were a most in
tolerable abuse.
w. w. Cotton, of the Oregon
Railroad G. Navigation Co., an
swered for the railroads. He said
that 16 or IS years ago Spokane
was a small town and although his
line was built to within so miles Of
/ here there was not enough business
to Justify extending 1t. He said that
notwithstanding water competition
Spokane now has a preferential
rate In the Palouse country. In
1905 it distributed 1854 tons there
against Portland's 1886 tons. Spo-
kane, by the prevailing system Of
tariffs, was enabled to ship 113
miles west and absolutely control
that territory known as the Inland
empire.
He argued that the real object Of
the fight was to reach down and
sell goods in the Walla Walla
valley, which Is controlled by Port
land. He pointed out the fact that
in 1892 Spokane's population was
10000, while now it claims 10000.
Cotton claimed Spokane had a rate
to Colfax cheaper than the rate
from Colfax here. He said the ulti-
mate decision of the commission
would either bound Spokane's terri
tory or add to 1t.
Seth Mann, of San Francisco.
representing the jobbers' associa-
ton down there, said that If the re-
suit of the findings of the commits
sion favored Spokane he would ask
| for 80 days in which the coast
cities might prepare evidence and
he would ask that the commission
hold sessions In those towns. II
anything, he said, there were dis
examinations in favor of Spokane.
| There has been very material in
crease in ocean competition and he
belied Spokane's fight was an at
tack on this competition.

by the officer was that he went into
the saloon and was called a vile
name by one Of the men. He at
tempted to quiet them, when they
attacked him and bruised him up
badly. A telephone message
brought Detective Macdonald, who
arrested man named Bell Later
