Mother Bird Angry Because Man Res

st. Louis.-Owls broke up dinner
party at the home of Bransford Clark
In Webster Groves.
Though 1t was bright starlit night,
six women and six men guests had
TO carry umbrellas when they went
home. Otherwise the owls would have
pulled all the flowers and feathers on
the women's hats, Mrs. Clark says.
The battle with the nightbirds start
ed when Clark found that baby owl
had fallen from tree in his rear yard.
He picked the little bird up, intending
10 care for it until 1t should be able
to fly
The mother owl saw him from her
nest in the top of the tree and swooped
down on him. 1t lit on his shoulder
and tried to tear his face with its beak
Clark fed into the house.
The Clarks were entertaining the
next evening. Clark stepped on the
rear porch. Instantly the mother owl
gave battle. She dropped out of the
tree and pulled two clawsful OF hair
from his head, Mrs Clark says Clark's
face and scalp were SO badly lacerated
that he went to doctor.

social conditions" said the major.
IN a few centuries the American man
and woman will have the features of
the American Indian, with a few sub
tie changes brought about by higher
mental development
The hawklike face of the first
Americans was developed by constant
anxiety over the uncertainties of ex.
lstence. The visage was characterized
oy tension-a rigidity which not
only affected the muscles but nodded
the bone. That tension-that hawk.
IKE appearance-is once more becom-

american men and women.
After other races came to Amer,ca
races OF all types and formations were
found There was no similarity.
every nationality brought some dis
unctive feature to America. Those
instructive features are blending more
and more every year
The blended features OF nearly all
OF the races are now being nodded by

was out of the question.
The party was broken up and the
guests went home holding umbrellas

Other Tests.
Pneumonia is not the only disease DR. Schafer
has cured. but 1t has attracted most attention
account of its seeming infallibility. Back Of the
remedies lies new theory of medicine. Its prin-
cipe is revolutionary. 1t disregards many cher
ished medical ideas. But It gets results Little as
they have been able to understand 1t, many OF the
best physicians and surgeons In San Francisco
have recommended 1t.
Regardless OF all doubts and theories" said
Dr. w B. Coffey the Southern Pacific surgeon.
Il have seen real men who have been made well
by it."
Other diseases In which DIR. Schafer has brought
permanent cures with his anti.toxins are scarlet
fever. rheumatism. diphtheria typhoid fever dys-
EMERY. erysipeas. tetanus and certain forms Of
tuberculosis
With that list let stop and take breath AL
together the various anti-toxins Dr. Schafer has
produced have been used In $500 cases with only
ten deaths OF the $50 people treated in San Fran
cisco only three died.

you see why DR.. Schafer is SO canny with his re-

It is DIR. Schafers expressed wish n to lay too

does he want to have his Office In BakerHeld he
