ord, generating Harry L. Gordon of
Cincinnati of any suspicion in connec-
ton with a check for $4,000 recently

FIGURE

the Silesians have put up a Cardiff

figure may have been planted there for
singing purposes only. But il is much
more satisfactory to believe otherwise.

BIRD ADJECTIVES
OFTEN MISLEADING

Some Of the common sayings concern
ing birds are stupidity wrong.
You stupid goOsei" is an expression
constantly heard, yet the goose, whether
wild or tame, is most sagacious. Wild
geese. for instance, never feed without
throwing out scouts or sentries. j. G.
Millais describes how he saw a flock of
geese feeding with Seutries out and how
after a time one Of the sentries went up
to bird that was feeding and gave IL a
gentle peck in the back. The latter
thereUpOn left its grazing and went OF
TO take guard, while the sentry took
its turn TO feed.
Gentle as a dove" is such a common
proverb that the dove has become the
emblem OF peace. Quite a mistake, for
all the dove and pigeon tribe are great
fighters, ana in the breeding season the
cock birds indulge in battles royal.
The foolish prejudice against all birds
Of prey includes that pretty little hawk
the kestrel- Now. If the kestrel were
known as the mouse falcon It is possible
that keepers would not invariably shoot
10 on sight. The kestreI lives mainly on
cent OF killing partridSes-
In a same preserving district in south

TICKET MEN HANDLE

Use Wet Sponge to Ward
Off Contagious

men in the world the ticket taker is
most exposed to contagious disease.
When you stop to figure on the thOus-
ands of, tickets 1 handle every year
perhaps one for every person in St
Louis-yoU can readily see what great
G. ance there is Of germs coming TO me
with the tickets. The idea of using.a
sponge after taking every ticket was
brought to my attention by a very prom
inent physician of St. Louis some time
ago. He stopped on his way into the
show one night and said: Come up
to my office tomorrow, 1 want to show
you something that you will not regret
Wondering what in the world it was,
he had to show me, i called on him, and
he then took a bunch Of tickets from his
desk and under the miscroscOpe showed
me that 3 receive hundreds Of little
germs with every piece of card board,
ant that any Of them are apt to con
tain germs of a type to cause cOnsump-
ton, skin trouble, or a half hundred
other things. This fixed me. I thanked
him, bought sponge and have used it
faithfully ever since. Each time that
