w ENGLISH SPARROWS
CAN BE DESTROYED
Small Bird Cunning, Destructive and Fi1thy-Very
be Said Favor.

In its economic relations the Eng.
lish sparrow among birds is compar-
able to the rat among mammals. It
is cunning, destructive, and filthy.
This sparrow was introduced into A
merica about co years ago, and is now
distributed generally over the east
ern half of the United States and
southern Canada and locally westward
to the Pacific coast. This rapid dis
semination is a result of the birds
hardness, extraordinary fecundity, di-
vcrsity Of food, aggressive disposition,
and almost complete immunity from
natural enemies through it's sagacity
and its preference for thickly settled
communities.
Its natural diet consists of seeds.
but it eats a great variety of other
foods. While much of its annual fare
consists of waste material from the
streets, in autumn and winter 1t con-
sumes quantities of weed seed, and in
summer numerous insects. The de-
struction of weed seed is undenia-
bly, in the sparrow's favor.
On the other hand. much can be
said against the bird. 1t destroys
small fruits. as cherries. grapes, pears,
and peaches. 1t also destroys buds
and flowers of cultivated trees, shrubs,

methods are least effective.
Sparrows frequently give annoyance
by roosting in ornamental vines and
in crevices about buildings. If driven
out late at night, several nights in
succession, they will usually desert
the roost. A jet of water from a
garden hose is potent disturber, par
ticularly on frosty nights. Where
water is not available, small Roman
candles may be employed.
Preliminary to the following de-
structive measures, sparrows should
be baited until they are attached to
the spot selected for their execution.
Seeds, grain. or waste from the table,
if supplied regularly. will soon estab-
lish feeding place. If general cam
paign is to be undertaken. enough
such feeding places should be main
tanned to attract to them practically
all the English sparrows in the neigh.
borhood. This can easily be done in
winter when food is scarce. After thus
batting the sparrows they may be
trapped, shot or poisoned.
Traps alone are inadequate to eX-
terminate sparrows, but reduction
of numbers can be effected by using

with woven wire on the other. One

The Spanish breed Of fowls has long
been popular in this country and in
Europe. Their symmetry Of form.
graceful and proud carriage. rs well
as beauty OF plumage. have made them
favorites of poultry fanciers, while
their value as egg producers has placed
them among the most desirable breeds.
Their flesh is OF very good quality.
Their eggs are large and white. larger
than those of any other breed, 1t is
claimed. except the La Fleche.
The White Faced Black Spanish is
the most important variety OF this
breed, and 1t is also the most COM
mon. The average weight of the Black
Spanish male is about seven pounds,
though II sometimes reaches eight; the
hen averages about pound less. This
breed usually weighs more than one
would guess because the fowls are so
full breasted and plump bodied. The

TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot. all over her body.
The baby looked Just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first 1t seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel on leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though 1t were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top OF her
head there appeared q heavy scab a
quarter Of an inch thick. It was aw-
full to see SO small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then We decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment We
softened the scab and 1t came on. Un-
der this, where the real matter was.
and applying the Cuticura Ointment.
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops Of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
OF and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She Is a fine
picture OF a fat little baby and all is
well. We only used one cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap. two boxes Of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle Of Cuticura Re
solvent. II people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer

Other varieties OF the Spanish
breed are the Minorcas or Red Faced
Black Spanish. the Anconas. a notified
variety, and the White Spanish. '
The great drawback to this breed
of fowls is their lack of hardness in

The building was . one story frame and consisted of six rooms. It was occupied by Mrs. Gun nells and Mrs. Campbell. About an hour before the fire family moved from the building.
 The flames 1t Is thought, origin ated from a small oil lamp which was in Mrs. Gunnelis apartments. She says she wns using the 'i3snp to heat a quantity of coffee. It was the only fire in the building. according to it's owner. After lighting the lamp Mrs. Gunnells left her room and went to Mrs. Campbell's room. She had hard ly stepped out of the building before she heard some one yell fire" In turning around she discovered her room was in flames. The windows in the room were open and it is believ- ed by fircmen that the draft upset the lamp.
 Bruce Perley discovered the fire and notified the department The flames spread So rapidly that when the department arrived the house was doomed and the flames were threatt- ening the residences of Nj.
