No creature is more jealous or sen.

to win the heart of almost any bird.
and that without starving him or max.
ing him think he has mastered you.
Simply talk to him great deal
Place his cage near you on your
desk or work table, and retain his
choicest dainty to give to him with
your fingers. Let him know that he
can never have that particular thing
unless he takes it from you. and he
will soon learn, if you are patient and
do not discomfort him by fixing your
eyes upon him.
After this he will more readily take
it from your lips; and then when
you let him out of his cage, after the
first excitement is over, he win come
to you, especially if you have a call to
which you have accustomed him. and
accept the dainty from you while free.
AS soon as he becomes really con.
vinced that you will not hurt him, or
try to catch him, or interfere in any
way with his liberty, he will give way
to his boundless curiosity about you ;
he will pull your hair, pick at your
eyes and give you as much of his com
pany as you desire.

SAVING THE BABIES
MILK DEPICTS ARE DOING EXCEL,
LENT WORK.
City OF Rochester, N. v, a Pioneer in
Movement That Will Interest
Every Mother Throughout
the Country.

1t is estimated that so per cent. of
all deaths Of children under one year
OF age are due to gastro-enteric dis
eases. And the evidence points strong
ly to the impure milk fed to the babies
as the chief cause of this unnecessary
waste of baby life. Compared with
the money expended to protect the
purity of other foodstuffs, the sum re-
quired to insure an adequate supply of
clean, pure milk for the thousands of
babies who must of necessity depend
upon cows milk. is a mere bagatelle.
DR.. George w. Goler of Rochester es-
Inmates that it is possible to obtain a
supply of milk for the summer months
(July and August which can conscien-
tiously be labeled food and not poison,
for the babies in a city which has a
population of 100000 at an expenditure
of about $1,000. The estimate is based
on the amount it costs the city of
Rochester annually to maintain its
milk depots. A preliminary feature of
this supervision of the sources of the
some farm within reasonable distance
from the city in which the dairy and
COWS are kept under clearly, whole
some conditions. The source of sup
ply selected, and the milk contracted
for, portable laboratory is erected on
the place, and the establishment is
put in charge of trained nurse, who
supervises the milking. the steriliza-
tlon OF the utensils, the preparation,
bottling, packing and shipment of the
milk. Packed in ice, the milk is car
rled to the city and distributed from
four centers in as many parts of the
city.
During the ten years before the es-
tablishment of the milk depot the total
number of deaths of children under
one year was 1875. From 1897, when
the work was begun, TO 1906. the total
number of deaths of children of that
age was 3,421, a reduction of over 80
per cent, without taking into consid.
Grafton any increase in population dur
ing that period.

Brains for Diet.

There is a latent truth in the prim-
tive Maori belief that by eating the
brains of his enemies a warrior ac-
1uired their skill and cunning.
1t was a custom among these saw.
ages. whose descendants | have seen
and admired in Hawaii and New Yea
land. to hold a brain feast after a
successful battle. The conquering
chief always reserved for his own
portion the gray matter of the oppos.
ing leader. ~
Observe how the practice works out
in modern life. We do not actually
eat our rivals brains. but If we are
wise we will try to absorb what those
brains contain. The man who makes
4 big success is the man who makes
he best use of his enemies, studies
heir moves, learns their methods
xnows what thought processes they
ire apt to follow. Down here -
he street guess we're more a. lose
akin to the Maoris. anyway.

Reader" Says "Kickers" Would
Wreck City By Advertising
1t is Broke.

Editor The News:-I have been
keeping tab on the additional levy
of taxes as proposed, and on which
your people there will vote in few
days and am pleased to note the stand
you are taking in the matter. Your
editorial of the 2Sth is about the best
that l have read in a long time. It
fits the vacant places in good reading
matter and has more good sound
sense and unvarnished truth in it
than anything l have seen in years.
If every newspaper in the country
would tell us about the feelings,
ETC., of the poor, downtrodden, over
worked and heavy laden poor peo-
ple,' as you have, then there would be
less of the stump" speeding by the
well-to-do or rich class, when it comes
to a matter that worries the ricn
more than the poor.
If the so-called rich in Hatties-
burg did not have to pay the addition
al levy, there would be no long pent-
up speeches and no hurlyburly about
the grinding of the poor under the
wheel of over-taxation. Take the
levy off the Kicker" and you will
also hear no more about the Traction
Company getting all the benefit. II
the Traction Company can make a lit
tie money by opening Hamper Park,
why let them have it. They deserve
it. They held two streaks of rust. a
few ties and heavy mortgage togeth-
er a long time there for the benefit
of the working people who laid the
tracks, and who received all the benz
fits of the work, while the Traction
Company paid the bills principally.
presume by borrowing more money,
and paying a duced high rate for
same.
Why don't a few who are claiming
that the Traction Company will lie the
only one to benefit by the additional
levy, take up Mr.. Camps proposition? ?
If they think the matter such a good
investment, why not buy it, and make
the money? If they think the school
levy is not going to do them any good,
and that it will hurt the poor people
only, what are they raising so much
sand about? The people who are
raising the principal part of the kick
get all the money the poor man
makes, selling him goods at 10 TO
65 per cent profit on same, and then
pull down the corners of their faces
and try to make us believe that they
have the good of the poor man at
heart They have, but when his pay
envelope fails to come around, they
tell him that they have locked the
meal barrel and his name is Dennis"
as the slang goes.

DOwNEY TO PLAY
 WITH KANSAS CITY

Downey has been bought by the Kansas City team of the American As- sociation for $760. A few weeks ago President Murphy of the Cubs wrote President Chambers in regard to the Downey matter and said that three clubs of the big leagues had refused to waive on the infielder.
 This from The Kansas City Journal evidently settles the matter:
 '"An almost entirely new infield will greet the fans on the first day that the Blues line up this year Jake Beckley, who had a bad streak in the last part of the season, will be missed at first and Roy Brashear will hold also cease to adorn the blue uniform Downey will play second and Hetling will be on third. Manager Monte Cross has signed his contract for the year ought to profit by the experience he gained last season and be more suc- cessful as 6 manager. He led the shortstops of the association last year and hit in timely fashion.
 "Outfielder Shannon ought to strengthen the team if he can work off some of his fat. Tebeau is after a major league pitcher. Eastern papers say that he is making a bid for "Iron Man" McGlnnity. A first-clas twirler Is undoubtedly a necessity for the team and Tebeau says that he wants one as good as any in tho league He is also hunting for an experienced catcher.
 Prospects look unusually bright for A good season and the fans can look for better baseball and of the club standing up higher in the race. Last year the club was most unfortunate in having it's outfield completely broken up.

s'shepheRd King.@


 Wright Lorimer. who will appear at The Grand on Friday. Saturday and Saturday matinee In the shepherd King" is a magnetic young actor well known throughout the country.
 "The shepherd King" was written by Mir. Lorimer and he will appear at every pefformancs in his role of David, the shepherd boy, who after wards becomes the King of Israel. The play although founded on a Bib Heal theme, is, as Mfr Lorimer says. In no sense of the word a religious drama. The love of David for Mical, the friendship Of David and Johpa- than, the mad vagries of King Saul, afid the incantRtions of the witch of Endor are some of the features that form the web and wo of the play.
 The story of the play besins where David is a shepherd boy tending his fathers sheep. It takes him to the camp of Saul where. when all feared to Ro out to meet the mighty giant. Goliath of Gath. stripling as he was, and armed only with his sling. he slew Goliath. Although he had charmed the evil spirit away from the mad King and had delivered him from the teunts of the Phiiistines. Saul's Jealousy soon endangered his life. After the pastoral first act there is g. succession of events throughout the drama until the curtain falls on the final triumph of David when Micai is restored to his arms and he is crowned King of Israel.
