TROUBLESOME SQUIRRELS.


In a. Colorado Town They Destroy
Birds Nests and 0naw Through Roofs.
p. Greeley 10 contemplating organizing
a squirrel hunt to rid the city of the
hundreds Of squirrels which make
their home In Lincoln Park and which
destroy the eggs Of. the song birds.
Ten years ago. Greeley was the homo
of many linnets., WILD canariss. mock
ing birds. and robins, writes a. CORE
,spondent Of the Denver Republican,
hut ONLY a few. are saen now. and there
are noAs left .in ~ trees in the park
because. Of the ,AsDgedations Of the
squirrels. ;,.s s.1.
Eight years ago some one brought
two pairs of Squirrels from the East
and made houses tor them in the park.
where they and the progeny became
great attractions. They have multi
piled SO fast, however. - to overrun
the park and extend their nesting
places to private; grounds. In several
cases they have. gnawsd through the
roofs Of houses in order to make nests
in the garrets. At first it was be-
heved that the English sparrow haa
driven away the other birds. but in
vestigatiOn proves that not even .
sparrow's nest can be found
The placing Of the tin, collars from
eight to ten inches wide around every
tree not in the park was suggested
for:the protection of tho birds, but this
wilk prove no remedy because of the
ability Of the squirrels to spring from
one tree top to another The talk OF
e1terminating the squirrels has been
going on for two years and people say
they must go.

Do Not Crowd III. s...s..

The first warm days OF spring
bring with them a desire to get out
and enjoy the exhilarating air and
sunshine. Children that bave been
housed up all winter are brought
out and you wonder where they all
come from. The heavy winter
clothing is thrown aside and many
shed their fannels. Then a cold
wave comes and people say that
grip is epidemic. Colds at this
season are even more dangerous
than in midwinter, as there is much
more danger of pneumonia. Take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
however. and you will have nothing
to fear. 1t always cures, and we
have never known cold to result
in pneumonia when it was used.
1t is pleasant and safe to take.
Children like it. For sale by II.
