European peoples.
II should say that French family
can live off of what an American fam.
lily wastes, said Mr.. Straus. THE prin-
cipal reason, of course Is in habit OF
mind, in way of looking upon relative
values of efficient living as compared
with inefficient and wasteful living.
One may be as extravagant with a dol
lar as, with million.
Now, the self-denial of the French
in food and in other necessities OF liv-
ing often Is carried into what should
consider excess, but there Is never
theless thoughtful, intelligent thrift in
the French household which contrib

thrift which should like to see cult

extravaganza on the part of those
amusing themselves. They take their

without inward sense of discomfort

BIRDS WORTH SAVING.


Al the present time many KINDS OF
nseful birds need direct Intervention
in their behalf as never before. The
encroachments of civilization on tim
hered tracts and the methods OF
modern intensive cultivation by de-
atroyinR or restricting breeding
Grounds OF birds, tend to diminish
their ranks. The number of insect
pests, on the other hand, Is all tne
time increasing by leaps and BOUNDS
through importations from ABROAD
and by migration from adjoining terri
tories. Every effort. therefore, should
be made to augment the numbers OF
our useful birds by protecting them
from their enemies, by providing nest
ing facilities, and by furnishing them
food in times of stress, especially In
winter.
Birds occupy unique position
among the enemies Of insects, since
their power of flight enables them at
short notice to gather at points where
there are abnormal insect outbreaks.
An unusual abundance of grasshop.
pers, for instance, in a given locality
soon attracts the birds from a wide
area, and as a rule their visits cease
only when there are no grasshoppers
left. However, unlike they may be in
appearance, structure, and habits, all
are similar in one respectfully pos
sess q never-dagging appetite for in
sects and weed seeds. Two useful
birds-Quite unlike in appearance, but
similar in that they befriend the farm
er, are the bobwhite and ruffed grouse
Both should be spared and enabled to
increase in number.
