The Care Of Cage Birds.

"These poor little prisoners are more
absolutely at their owners mercy than
any other household pet, says Kate v
Saint Maur in Woman's Home Compan-
ion for February. The only way never
to forget their food or water il to estab-
lish a positive time for giving it to
them, either directly before or after a
meal time, so that association of ideas
will insure remembrance. Select posi-
tion for the cage where it is protected
from draft or glaring sun.
Many particular housekeepers fall
into the custom OF covering the bot
tom of the cage with paper instead of
gravel, thinking, | suppose, that the lat
ter is only used as a protection to the
bottom of the cage. But gravel has
quite another and much more important
Office. Canaries, like chickens, have no
teeth and must have gravel to grind
their food
Vegetable food of some kind is also
a necessity A lettuce leaf, water eress,
q small piece OF apple, grape or a
small, thin piece Of raw potato II you
have nothing else, should be given every
day. The staple should be canary seed
mixed with a small percentage of rape
and golden milet. but occasionally, in
cold weather. add a little hemp seed
seed and a little canary seed.
should the birds nails grow too long,
take him in your hand, loosely but firm
IL, and hold his feet in a cup Of warm,
soap water for several minutes to soften
the nail, then cut the extreme end with
a pair OF sharp nail scissors.
"A bird should be accustomed to hay-
ing bath every morning The best
plan is to remove the bottom OF the
cage. put small dish on sheet of
paper, and set the top Of the cage over
ii. Many birds have to be coaxed into
Ia king a bath. and if your bird has not
been accustomed to it, it will help mat
tiers to remove the seed and water
dishes. After he has bathed, hang the
cage where a little sun viii strike it,
SO that there is no fear OF the bird be-
coming chilled.
About once week it is well to re-
move the screw at the top Of the cage,
and paint the two brass caps with some
good disinfectant. for all birds, even
parlor pets, are apt to be troubled with
minute vermin unless some precaution
is taken TO prevent it.

Care Of Clothes, Economy.

The care We take of our clothes Is
largely a thing OF habit. An important
requirement is to invest in complete
outfit Of hangers, and still more essential
is a conscientious use of them.
Gowns, coats and oyercoats should
hang every minnie they are not in use
as this will prevent the clothes from be-
ing mussed and help to hold any press
ing they may have received.
Faithful brushing Of clothes about to
be worn viii help to retain freshness
of appearance, but the brushing, how
ever, should not be so strenuous as to
be a strain upon the goods Spots and
stains must be removed Immediately.
During seasons when clothes are not
used they should be hung wrapped in a
sheet, as the covering win ward off dust
and prevent fading.
A safe rule to follow in preserving
ones wardrobe is TO distribute the diff
ferent garments, Don't wear one out
fit regularly. but vary the costume free
ly and this viii not only consistently
distribute the wear. but viii also lend
snap to the daily get up from a
standpoint OF change.
The woman who has learned the Sc
cret of the proper care OF the wardrobe
has mastered one of eeonomy's great
est laws and observes one OF the strong
est requisites in presenting a smart ap-
pearance.

NERVOUS
DEBILITY
This Illinois School, Teacher Was
Almost Frustrated but Was
Cured by DIR. williams
Pink pills.

When the nerves are unstrung il
means that the blood is not supplying
the nervous system with the proper ele-
ments in sufficient quantity TO replace
the waste caused by work requiring
nerve force.
This is q frequent occurrence with
teachers and other brain workers and
the remedy is shown by the experience
of Mrs. Fay Hubbell, a school teacher,
OF Yorkville, ILL.,, who says.
Several years ago / was so nervous
that it seemed that | was losing my
mind. had suffered iron, nervousness
for several years but it had never been
so serious. The nervous spells would
come on with such pains in the top OF
my head that | was forced TO scream
and cry out Hearing any one talk or
visiting around me would make me
frantic. | had no appetite, there were
pains in the pit of my stomach and gas
constantly formed. Food distressed me
and caused nausea My back and legs
panied great deal and my kidneys
were affected. Host weight and BECAME

time but their medicine did not cure me-
My husband had read OF DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and decided to have me try
them. A few boxes relieved me so
much that | gave them thorough
trial and was entirely cured / think
very highly of Dr. Williams Pink Pills
and am very glad to recommend them, "
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the most
direct cure for nervous troubles because
they remove the cause of these diseases
by building up and purifying the blood.
The pure blood which they make fur
nishes the nerves with needed elements
until they are restored to their normal
strength. The pills have made so many
remarkable cures in nervous disorders
that no sufferer can afford to neglect
giving them trial
They can be obtained at any drug store
or direct from the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Co, Schenectady, N. Y, at so
cents per box; six boxes for $3.50.
While so promptly effective, Dr. VIII
hams' Pink Pills contain no harmful
stimulants or opiates. They are per-
fectly safe and create no drug habit.

SEES
NEW PERIL
Popular Election of Senators
Blow
AT OUR GOVERNMENT
The Senator Declares-violates Fathers
Aim--He Ridicules the Claim
That the Plan Is in
Progress.
AT OUR GOVERNMENT

Washington, Feb, 7.-Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, in speech yesterday
attacked the resolution providing for the
election of United States senators by
direct vote Of the people. Declaring that
the proposed change STRIKES at the very
foundation of the national government, .
he said that the plan violates the pur.
pose OF the trainers OF the constitu-
| ton.
1T is now proposed he continued,
ito put the Urited States government,
so far as the election OF senators is con-
cerned, at the mercy OF the states. Ii is
proposed to take from the United States
any power to protect its own citizens in
the exercise OF their rights, no matter
how great the need might be for such
protection. If this amendment should
become law, twenty-three states, in-
GLIDING perhaps only minority Of the
population, could at any moment arrest
the movement of the government and
stop all its operations"
The senator denounced as a mockery
the 'pretense" that the proposed legis-
lotion is in progression Said he: "lf
adopted it would carry the government
back to the controversies and the strug-
giles out OF which the constitution was
born and which beset and dangered the
infancy of the United States"
Enlarging upon the danger Of the pro
posed change, Mr.. Lodge said "a:
"Self-preservation is the first law of
governments, as it is Of nature; and it
seems to me that no matter how we
may decide the question OF the methods
by which senators should be elected. the
reservation of the power OF the United
States to control those elections, if need
be, is essential to the governments safe
and continued existence. Any attempt
of this sort to break down and weaken
the authority of the United States ought
to be resisted to the last"
That there is menace Of control OF
the state legislatures by corrupt means
Mr.. Lodge denied
ANY danger Of the moneyed inter-
ests getting even partial control of the
government or acquiring undue political
influence has been brought to an end
III the last ten. years he said "Just
now the financial and corporate inter.
ests Of the country seem far more con-
cerned in trying to find out whether
they are to be allowed to live and breathe
in seeking to control anybody else, in
politics or ont OF politics.

Every woman likes to have few
growing things around in winter, not
only as a warm contrast to the gem
eral bleakness without but, also because
plants seem to add a subtle air of re-
finement 10 a home.
No doubt plant is a certain amount
Of care, but il IL care that no woman
who has known it would be willing to
forego After all it requires only few
minutes attention each days, says San
Deigo Union
The most up-to-date houses and
apartments have the temperature too
high for ferns, and even the hardy Bos-
ton fern cannot thrive in an atmosphere
SO different from that of its native
habitat
Ferns require to be kept cool and
moist. some Varieties thriving in a tenn
penture as low as 50 degrees.
See that your plants have plenty of
light A window with northern eX-
posure il the best possible position for
the plants
IL often happens IN the arrangement
Of room that some plant must be
put back in corner away from the
light. DO not let il remain there in
definitely, but change it about from day
to day with those in the window, so
that the amount Of light may be equally
divided among them all.
Another detail that the home gardener
should bear in mind is that every few
days a plant should be turned around.
thus enabling all sides TO grow equally,
and the plant TO present a symmetrical,
graceful appearance.
Ferns are semi-dOrmant in winter and
so require less water than in summer,
However. they must be kept moist at
all times and the amount of water nee
essary will depend upon the species and
upon the temperature OF the room.
Stale water in the bottoms of jardi-
neres and in saucers is injurious. Water
the ferns as usual, and after about If
teen minutes empty out the jsrdinere
or saucer and dry il.
Fresh water is not to be COMPOUNDED
with stale. however. A florist says that
a good way to prolong the life of ferns
in steam heated houses and apartments
is to keep them constantly standing in
water that is frequently changed.
When watering your ferns be careful
not to touch the leaves, but see that
the roots are thoroughly saturated.
II YOU soak the ferns in tub let
them drain there for about an hour
after the water has been let out
II the plant seems not 20 be doing
well and there is no apparent reason
for this failure to thrive then try re-
pottinr. Turn the pot upside down, re-
