Once there was a hypochrondiac
who used to think that he was dying
about three times a week. One day
he was driving o;t in his automobile
and one of these spells came over
him. On the road ahead of him he
happened to see the family doctor
speeding along in his roadster. He
felt so sick that he applied all his
power in order to catch up with the
doctor as soon as possible.
But the doctor saw him coming and
he used all the gas he had to get
away from him. For about three
miles they had a close race. Finally.
however, the doctor had some tue
trouble, and the hypochrondiac drew
up alongside.
Doctor he shouted. stop min

portant part birds play in maintaining the
earth's vegetation or course, not all the
plants which result from seeds sown by birds
are useful ones, but even weeds afford food
for animals. which in turn supply man with
meat.
If 1t were not for the useful work done by
birds our supply of nutmegs would be much
more limited than it now is. 1t is certain
that it is through birds that the fruit from
which we get this spice has been spread over
New Guinea and the adjacent islands Of the
Pacific.
The fruit of the nutmeg resembles peach
in shape and color, but lacks its juicy pulp,
the exterior being firm and inedible. When
ripe 1t splits open, revealing glossy black
nut surrounded by lacelike, scarlet network
OF what we know as mace.
This nut birds devour eagerly, and as soon
as they have digested the mace they eject
from their mouths the hard, indigestible
kernel or seed just as owls and hawks eject
pellets of furs and feathers These Seeds
falling on the rich soil Of the Pacific islands,
result in more nutmegs springing up wherever
the birds fly.

KTosT BIRDS eat good many seeds, and
IOI science has just discovered that large
!~part Of the seeds they swallow pass
through their intestines entirely uninjured
and in prime condition for sprouting as soon
as they strike the right kind of soil This ex-
plains why without any assistance from man
vegetation so often springs up in vacant lots
and other places which would otherwise re-
main barren.
In dry years it has been found that birds
scatter moro seeds in this way than in wet
ones. The reason Is that when there is little
rain less grit is swallowed and more seeds
therefore survive the milling process OF the
gizzard
In England sparrows, rocks, greenGnches
and bullfinches seem to be the birds which
eat and later SOW the most seeds. One
scientist succeeded in growing no less than
fifty-seven different plants from seeds found
in the intestines of thirty-eight birds. During
a wet season twenty -four sparrows yielded
fiftynne different kinds OF seeds, while in a
dry season the same number OF birds yielded
only eighteen.
These Investigations show what an I'm.

living expenses are $4,000 per year.
The wholesaler sends the cabbage to the
jobber, who lives in a Broadway apartment
which costs $500 per year, keeps an automo.
bile and spends $4,000 per year.
From him the cabbage travels to the re-
taller, who lives in a $500 apartment on
side street. He has corner store, for which
he pays $l25 month rent, keeps two deliv-
cry wagons at cost OF $40 a month, and
spends $500 year On his living.
Finally the cabbage gets to the consumer.
He lives in an apartment for which he pays
$40 a month he rides in the trolley car or
