Birds Are Valuable In
Destroying Boil Weeull

like the nighthawk, they capture boil
weevils when flying over the fields,
which no other birds do. Flycatchers
snap up the weevils near trees and
shrubbery. Wrens hunt them out
when concealed under bark or rub
bish. Blackbirds catch them on the
ground. as do the kildeer, titlark, mea-
dow lark. and others; while orioles
hunt for them on the bolls. But it is
the peculiar function of swallows to
catch the weevils as they are making
long flights, leaving the cotton fields
In search Of hiding places in which to
winter of entering them to continue
their work Of devastation.
Martins are not at all fastidious
about the outward appearance of their
dwellings, and large gourd suspended
from the top Of dead tree or pole;
or any kind of weather-tight box or
barrel, however rude, when divided
into compartments answers their
needs as well as the most costly and
ornamental house. The rooms should
be about IL inches wide, Z inches
high, and inches deep, with entrances
about inches in diameter. They will
not build close to the ground, having a
wholesome fear of cats and other in
vaders; hence the houses should be
elevated from the ground not less than
Il feet. Drinking water is essential
for martins and all other swallows,
and the presence of small pond, lake
or river greatly increases the chances
for colonization.

YOU CAN'T EAT
APPETITE POOR

Multitudes of people lose their
appetite. Simply don't care for any
thing to eat. The dinner bell has no
interest to them. They loathe their
breakfast. They may nibble a little
of this and a little of that, but they
do not care for it.
Lunch has lost all of it's charms,
although they try to eat something.
Dinner about the same.
There is something positively
wrong. of course, but no disease that
can be named. Just out of sorts.
That is all.
1t is in this kind of a condition
that Peruna acts very beneficially.
. After using Peruna, interest in food
is revived. Beginning with a tea
spoonful of Peruna before each meal
viii generally quickly improve the
appetite and help the digestion.
Thousands Of people can testify to
this. Liberated from q slavery that Is
almost unbearable. The slavery Of
having no interest In life. All used
up. Yet one does not know exactly
why. Take Peruma before each meal.
Skies will get blue again. Fields will
look green once more and life will
be pleasant. You VIII feel that you
are good for something and the world
is q good place to live in. Peruna
will do It. Not as an artificial slim
ulant. Simply a tonic that stimulates
appetite in natural way.
Those who object to liquid nredi-
einss can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

4 Million Do||ar Death Claim
The Company Gave its Check For the
Amount Due Estate Of G. w. Van
derbllt One Hour Aftsr Proofs
Of Death Were Received.

Of Death Were Received.
1t is not often that life insurance
company pays a death claim OF one
million dollars on a single life. The
late George w. Vanderbilt, as every
one knows, was a man of large wealth.
The common idea would be that he at
least could have no need Of life insur-
ance. He knew, however. that in the
event of sudden death, with his capital
invested in extensive enterprises,
ready money in large amount might
be needed to provide for immediate
emergencies. 1t was II years ago that
Mr.. Vanderbilt secured policy in The
Mutual Life for one million dollars
on the twenty payment life plan
Since that time, inheritance taxes have
been largely increased. The case IL
Illustrates the Importance OF wealthy
men providing in this way for the pay
ment of the tax which the state leVles
upon the assets of the deceased per-
sons, as well as for other immediate
needs. ,aas2l
In accordance with it's custom, The
Mutual Life, when this policy was Is
sued, reinsured all in excess of $780,
900. The death claim of 81 100000 was
paid March 25th, 1914, as shown by
letter below. The proofs of death were
presented to the company on that date
at 2:15 p. M, and the check was in the
hands of the attorneys for the exech-
trix one hour later, at 3:15 p. m.
During the seventeen years Mr.. Van
derbilt paid to the company in premi-
ums total of $595,000.
One other word of obvious comment
When men of great wealth see 1t to
their advantage to carry life insurance
surely others can hardly question its
value. Rich men can afford to carry
it, men of moderate means cannot af-
ford to be without it.
The following Is the letter of &C
acknowledgement from the late Mr.. Van
derbilt's lawyers:
New York, March %, 1914.
Messrs. Ives & Myrick, Managers.
Gentlemen:-We beg to acknowledge
receipt of check from The Mutual Life
Insurance Company to the order of
Edith S. Vanderbilt, Executrix, in full
payment of policy No. S66213 on the
life of George W. Vanderbilt for 81 ,000,-
900. Mr.. Vanderbilt died on the 9Th
inst; his will was admitted to probate
today and letters testamentary have
just been issued to the Executrix. We
wish to express our appreciation of
the promptness of your company in
the settlement of this claim and of
your courtesy in the adjustment of the
matter.
Yours very truly,
Anderson & Anderson.

Mrs. Dorothy Danhauser john
sons closest relatives is her half
sister, Ella Kaufman, daughter
Of II. A. Kaufman of Chehalis,
who was associated with Herman
Klaber, the girls uncle, in the
hop business. Until the time of
her marriage, Miss Danhauser
kept her half sister with her at
the Bonneville hotel, and cared
for her with all the love and at
tention that a mother could be-
stow.
Miss Danhauser's mother was
the late Heman Klaber's sister.
The girl recently inherited about
$4,000 from the hop merchant,
through the provisions of his will,
and the small fortune had been
turned over to her only a short
time before her wedding.
She was a beautiful vocalist,
possessed of a clear lyric soprano
voice, and had until recently ex-
pressed the desire to go on the
stage. She had sung before the
Ladies' Musical club. and appear
ed in many society plays, the last

and showered Miss Danhauser

The honeymoon trip of Sidney

made to San Francisco primarily
because of Miss Danhauser's love
for the California city. 1t had
been her home in childhood, and
1t was In San Francisco that both
Of her parents died and were
buried. She had many friends
there, and a number of distant
relatives, and had planned to
spend pare of the time visiting
them.
Johnson had also lived in San
Francisco in his youth, and had
many friends there. It was
therefore natural that the young
couple decided readily upon San
Francisco as the objective point
of their trip.
