WINTER BIRD HOME.
Many Varieties Gather About a
Maine House.

From the kennebec Journal.
In Bowdoinham is bird nursery where
all through the winter months the apple
and cherry trees are filled with bluejays.
woodpeckers and others. eight varieties
of birds having been seen here this sea-
son by Mrs w. B. Kendall.
In the trees the kendalls place long
strips of suet suspended by wires. and
further down in the branches of cherry
tree is big box fastened securely and
always we'll filed with corn. I'VE never
use cracl-ed corn now" said Mrs. Ken
dial las the English sparrovs get it
all away from the others. Some days
the box is blue with the bluejays. There
are two kinds of woodpeckers.
Morning Is the best time to watch the
birds, though: they. come in great num-
bers for their breakfast. When it is
very cold the Canadian sparrowS or win
ter chippies come down from Canada.
Then there are the pine grOs beaks-
big flocks of them-and that redheaded
woodpecker you see swinging away as
he hangs to that piece Of suet is very
tame. I 20 out and talk to him often
and he is never the least bit frightened.
Last week thirty birds were here one
morning. One chickadee family-father,.
mother and baby-is very interesting
1--WE have the hairy and downy wood
pecker the nut matches. chickadees, Ca
madam sparrows and the English spar
rows, the bluejays and the pine gros
beaks. and sometimes the shrek or butcher
bird makes his appearance. The other
birds are frightened of him. for he kills
them when he gets the chance"

good form. For instance, the manner
of beginning an epistle must follow
certain set rules. 4 formal note or
letter must always begin with MY

How to Reduce Fat
Proportionately

Proportion is the thing. A fat woman earns
to reduce her abdomen but she doesn't
to produce a scrawny neck. This fact condemns
the dieting method OF reducing. You can't starve
the fat of place and not OF another. Simply
impossible. But why try dieting. even
ercsing, when there is a better way OF reducing
fat than either?
Try the following: One-hnlf ounce Marmola.
\. ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic. ga
ounces Peppermint Water. Any druggist will MI
the above cheaply. Take q teaspOonful after
meals and at bedtime and see IL In a few weeks

but from those that are overly fat The re.

all OF your editorials. Many of your
ideas [ adopt as my own, because /
think you are right. Upon the other

You are etethaily aid uhaitetabiy

Jumped" on what you term the
lumber trust with "both feet"
and have mercilessly castigated those
southern members of congress who
voted to retain the duty on lumber.
You probably forget that when pros
perity was i" iii the saddle y iii this ia
voled section of the 4fl0ral vineyard,
the-price of timber went up like ton
of dynamite had been exploded under
it. Timber that had been selling for
from seventy-ive cents to one dollar
and half per acre went UP to ten,
twelve and in some instances, to $17
and $40 per acre, simply for
"saw-mill privilege" There had to
be corresponding increase iii the price
of the manufactured article, else the
millmen would have been bankrupted.
Now, the prices for timber per acre
was not paid to syhdicates who had
bought up all the timber; it was not
paid to a Crust" which had been
formed to control the price Of trees,
but it went directly into the pockets
of the farmers who owned timber iii
small tracts, and it was the tneaiis Of
putting an en9itnBus amount at MON

velopment of other industries which
in turn put MORE motley into citeula-

mill men have made motley; that is;
some have, while others In the Face
of suspicious conditions have "sone

view all Of these facts The purpose
of this letter is to ask you what diff
ference is there between the lumber
men getting together and fixing a
scale of prices to control all their pro-
duct, and the farmers Of the state get
ting together and agreeing not to sell
their cotton for less than stipulated
price per pound? Or which IS the
most reprehensible and the most I'M
I'll and the most cOrrupting, for
the lumber men to fix a scale and live
up to it, or for the farmers OF the
south to contribute a dollar each and
after raising several millions of dol

Mr.. Watson, you were elected to
congress by the democrats; you were
duly nominated in d democratic con-
vehtioh, yet you admit that you took
your instructions how to vote in con-
sress from the Farmers Alliance, and
now you see fit tg eeHsufe Mr.. Brant-
lev and other members Of Congress for
voting not entirely in accord with the
platform adopted by the Denver con-
venti0n: 1t Is ho defense for you to
say that the Farmers Alliance was in
the majority in the Tenth district at
the TIME ygu were elected. They were
democrats aid voted iii democratic
primary, or participated IN demo-
cratic convention; in either event, 1t
is the same thing. A platform was
adopted which, as you now argue, was
An Instruction 10 vote for certain
things. This you admit not having
done, but accepted Instructions from
the Alliance But now that Mr..
Brantley and other democrats have
done just exactly as you did, you call
on the people to turn them out. Be
