and the still more muTderous auto
matte shotgun have been evolved.
There are a hundred men who go after
was only one twenty-five or thirty
years ago N any of the western
states.
If all the states which still have
prairie chickens left would set aside a
few townships in each county on
which no shooting should be allowed
at any time and then enforce such
laws the prairie chicken could be
saved. The people would soon learn
to respect such laws. for they would
realize that the birds would increase
rapidly on these protected areas and
the surplus would overflow on the sur
rounding country and afford good
shooting for those who want to kill.
On the other hand. the birds would
soon learn where they were safe from
persecution, and large numbers OF them
at least would do their nesting and
feeding and breeding on the grounds
where there would be no shooting.
Such refugees would not only be valu-
able for the preservation Of the prairie
chicken, but in some OF the states for
quail as well. On such preserved ter
ritOry certain species of ducks would
nest and within five years these ref
uges would become pleasure resorts
for the people, for It would be a de-
lightful experience for men, women
and children to drive or walk through
these protected sections and study the
bird life that would become abundant
there.
y Many Of the most prominent orni-
biologists and game protectors in the
country have considered this plan for
saving the prairie chicken and indorse
1t heartily. Here are quotations from
a few:
Hon. John F. Lacey. ex-member OF
congress and author Of the Lacey bird
law and many other measures for the
preservation of wild animals and birds.
says, Your scheme for the creation
Of refugees for prairie chickens and
other game birds is eminenuy prac-
teal, and 1 earnestly hope you may
be successful In inducing the Iegisla-
lures OF the prairie states to adopt IT."
DR.. w. T. Hornaday, director of the
New York Geological park, says: BE
yond all question the prairie chicken
is doomed to early and total extermi-
nation unless drastic measures are
adopted in its behalf Its exteTmina-
ton would be nothing short Of a ma
tional disgrace"
William butcher. president OF the
National Association OF Audubon So
cieties, says: Il have read your article
entitled Save the Prairie Chicken
and heartily approve it. Your Aticle
should be in the hands Of every farmer
where prairie chickens and quails are
still to be found"
DR.. 7. S. Palmer Of the department
Of agriculture, Washington, says, 81
heartily approve your suggestion re-
garding refugees for prairie chickens,

may be secured in the near future"

world by placing HIS pneumonia pa

His experiment proved successful
Sleeping outdoors during the four sea-
sons OF the year is now advocated by
the modern Psychologist. Adequate COW

Youngsters Like the Idea.
AS the entire trend Of modern medi-
cine is toward prevention rather than
cure it is well 20 emphasize the i'm
portance laid upon outdoor sleeping as
a means of keeping one well rather
than as a medical prescription for the
restoration Of impaired health. It is
considered an encouraging sign by the
medical profession that the youngsters
OF the race look upon outdoor sleeping
as a good thing.
In a pamphlet issued by DR.. Car

following directions are given for
sleeping outdoors:
