bird House Architecture.
OMAHA, March a.LTo the Kditor Of
The Bee; 1, with many others OF your
readers, enjoyed the Sunday exhibit OF
bird houses Ia your paper, showing the
work done IN that line by our boys In
eur manual training and other schools
Aa exhibit Of this kind in the papeFs In
the spriug is tiuaeiy and weii-aAvtsed, as
u not only shows what Is In the minds OF
the boys and what they are doing, but
it also brings To the minds Of Others the
fact that summer Is made naorU giaasoms
nv the presence Of featheFed songsters
around cur doors.
That Others are thinking aioag like
lines IL evidenced by the announcement
of an exhibit Of those bird houses next
Thursday aad Friday, in Which It stated
that a large number Of people have tried
to buy some Of the houses. Failing to
do so. they have even threatsaed to steal
them, but Commissioners Humusl says
that he will have a policeman at every
door 10 see that none Of the bird houses
slip away with the visitors,
We therefore know that we cannot buy
beg, borrow or steal a bird house.
That being the case, as many citizens
whs would like bird houses have not had
the advantages Of eur MANUAL training
schools, WAY weuid 1t not be an excellent
plaH fes Fhs Bee to have an educatory
sketch in an early issue, giving general
descFiDtIons on the making Of bird
houses, particularly showing the size of
the hSia necessary for each OF the diff
fsssat kinds Of birds with which we
hays 10 deal. eHa slowing just how far
that hole should be from the cotton, ETC.. {;
then with this kRswisdgs many citizens
estfid make biFd hsHsss Of theiF e~n.
Thus The nee wsuia add TO the long
list Of COED weFGs IL has already done.

Would Barton people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as they do if the
medicine were not reliable? Wou d
they confirm their statements after
years have elapsed if their experien-
ces did not show the remedy to be
desc rving of it? Statements like the
following must carry conviction to
the mind of every reader:
Mrs. j. W. Millar, High street, Bar

from lame back and am pleased to
say that Doan's Kidney Pills brought
me immediate relief. Doan's Kidney
Pills are medicine of merit and do
all that is claimed of them'

MORE THAN TWO YEARS LATER,
Mrs. Millar said: 1T am pleased to
