Men Of science are generally agreed
that birds are natures great check on
the excess of insects. ana that they
maintain the balance between plant
and insect life. Ten thousand cater

mated by prominent entomologist at
no less than 12,OOo.0 600. The bird pop
ulation OF cultivated country districts
has been estimated at from ZOO to
1000 square mile. This is small
compared with the number Of insects,
yet, as each bird consumes hundreds
or insects every day. the latter ars
prevented from becoming the scourge

SHOWS BENEFITS or YAWNING
Has Great Value In Diseases Of the
Throat-strengthens RespIra-
tory Mfscles.


DR.. Emil Bunzl Of Vienna, in speak
ing Of diseases Of the throat and REM
edies. said that yawping had its great
value. Yawning has recently been
recommended independently as a val
liable exercise for the respiratory Or
gans.
According to DR.. Naegli. OF the Uni
versity Of Luettich.7 said Or. Bunzl,
"yawning brings all the respiratory
MUSCLES Of the chest and throat into
action and is. therefore. the best and
most natural means Of strengthening
them, He advises everybody to yawn
as deeply as possible, with arms out
stretched, in order to change COM
pletely the air in the lungs and stimu-
late respiration. In many caseE he
has found the practise to relieve the
dificplsy in swallowing and disturb
ance Of the sense Of hearing that ac-
company catarrh Of trs throat The
patient is induced to yawn through
suggestion, imitation Of preliminary
exercise In deep breathing.
Each treatment consists or from
six to eight yawns, each followed by
the operation Of swallowing. It
shorld be added however. that It is
quite possible for deep breathing to
be overdone. particularly by persons
with weak hearts and 1t is at least
open to question whether the obi
stacles to free respiration. which the
yawning cure is alleged to remove,
are not useful in preventing the en-
trance Of germs and other foreign
bodies"
