MUSIC MAKES HAIR GROW.
Boston Holds Out Hope For the Bald
Among Us.

Boston. Bald men, if you would
have your hair return go in for music.
At least that is the cure prescribed by
DR.. r. Kenrick Smith, a prominent
Back Bay physician. The peace, har-
mony and JOY of music are what make
musicians hair grow long, according
to DR.. Smith. He says:
"If fright or grief will turn the hair
white, which we all know sometimes
occurs. why is it not perfectly logical
to assume that the opposite extreme.
that is, the tranquility, peace, har-
mony and joy of music would tend to
produce an opposite result?
IAN expert statstician, after months
of labor, announces that only one Of
every hundred devotees of music is
hairless. while In every other profess
sion eleven In every 100 are bald. This
may, in part, be due to the habit tradi
tional to musicians of always brushing
their hair backward"

Letters to His Wife Tells of Being

Frankfort.-A young peasant from a
Baden village has fought in the war
from the very beginning and was final

Frankfort Gazette. In three months
he has written two letters The first
read:
Dear Wife, am still alive, and receiv-

him. Greetings, ADOLPH
The second did not differ much from
the first:
Dear Bertha-I am stlll alive, which sur

ADoLPH.
A few days ago a photograph came
from a hospital in Heidelberg. On 1t
the young wife saw her husband with
number of others. and on his breast
was the iron cross. On the back of
the picture was written:
Dear Bertha-I was wounded. Am we'll
again. Tomorrow I'm off. II the boy Is

ADOLPH.
His wife wrote him asking him to
at least let her know how he had re-

OUR NATIVE THRUSHES.
We Have Eleven Species and Ali Are
Friends of the Farmer.

We Have Eleven Species and Ali Are
Friends of the Farmer.
Prepared by United States department Of
agricultural
Altogether there are within the limits
Of the United States eleven species of
thrushes, five Of which are commonly
known as robins and bluebirds. The
other six include the Townsend soli-
taire, the wood. the veery. the gray
cheek, the olive back and the hermit
thrush.
The robins and b1uebirds nest close
to houses, and even the shiest Of the
other species are content with the Sc
clusion of an acre or two of woodland
or swamp. For this reason the thrush
es are among the best known and most
carefully protected of native American
birds, and at times their numbers be-
come so great that it is feared they
will do much harm to crops and fruit.
The investigations of the department
of agriculture, however, show that
there is very little ground for this fear.
On the other hand, they destroy such a

quently accused of destroying fruits
and berries, but it has now been ascer-
tanned that this only occurs in regions
that are so thickly settled that there is
no wild fruit upon which the robin
may subsist In some years the bird is
a great pest in the olive orchards of
California, but it is probable that they
are driven to the orchards because of
the scarcity of native berries at these
times. Where a wild fruit is available
the birds seem to prefer it to the cult
waited varieties.
Like the robin, the bluebird is very
domestic; but, unlike the robin, it does
not prey upon any cultivated product
or work any injury whatever to the
fruit grower. During the fruit season,
in fact, five-sixths Of it's food consists
Of insects. 1t seems, therefore, that the
common practice Of encouraging the
bluebird to nest near houses by placing
convenient boxes in which it may build
Its home is thoroughly justified.
The six other species of the thrush
group also feed principally on insects
and fruit but a great portion of the
fruit which they consume is wild ber-

Nes. Domestic fruits are eaten so spar
ingly by these species that the damage
done is quite negligible.
The bird known as the Townsend
solitaire is noted chiefly for it's song,
which is said to be at times the finest
of any Of the thrush family. This
thrush, however. confines itself almost
entirely to the mountains and gorges of
the far west. The wood thrush on the
other hand, is distributed over the east
ern part of the United States and is a
frequenter of open groves and bushy
pastures. This thrush also is noted for
its sweet song, especially in the early
evening. 1t does not nest in gardens or
orchards, however, and is seldom seen
about farm buildings, so that many
people who are familiar with its song
would not know the bird by sight The
wood thrush consumes a number of
very harmful insects such,as the Colo
RADIO potato beetle and white aEubs.
The fruit which it eats it usually picks
up from the ground instead of taking
fresh from the trees. There is there
fore no reason why the wood thrush
should not be rigidly protected.
The other varieties also seem to eat
little that is Of value to farmers, while,
on the other hand, they destroy multi
tudes of harmful insects each year.
