SAVE THE BIRDS.

>G1 The thick coating of ice which
z. covers the larger part of the
L state of Wisconsin makes it i'm
possible for the birds to secure sufficient
food. This condition augmented by
spells Of severe cold weather threatens
the destruction of many of our birds if
our citizens do not come to the rescue
Of these helpless creatures during this
unusual spell, which will probably
continue for several weeks.
Every citizen is earnestly requested
to scatter food, where it will be accessi-
BILE to the birds, and the farmers should
give particular attention to the quail
and prairie chicken which are suffering
from this famine and will perish if left
to the mercy Of the elements. A few
shelves of grain are we'll suited to this
purpose and the sweepings of barns,
graneries and sheds are excellent if
properly. Wheat, oats, barley and
buckwheat may be scattered in a cover
ing Of straw.
The rod and gun clubs throughout
the state should give their services to
this movement, and by thorough CO.
operation on the part of all good citi-
zens, thousands of birds will be saved.

THE WOMEN'S REST ROOM

The rooms underneath the library
have been turned over to the Civic
Club by the council to be used as rest
room, with most satisfactory results.
A committee of the club in charge
report most extensive use of these
rooms by out of town women, in town
for the day, and for the theatre.
The rooms are open every afternoon
Saturday afternoons and evenings
when there is a play at the theatre, a
care taker is provided, SO that wraps
may be safely left.
The afternoons and evenings Of 'The
Birth of a Nation" the rooms were
crowded but no count was kept. One
Saturday afternoon when nothing an
usual was going on forty five women
came in.
1t is desired that we emphasize the
fact that these rooms are for the exten-
sive use of women and that men are
not permitted down stairs.

Growing Bodies Require Much Food,

OTO"TTTS DVUTIo TiO9UTTC VTNNII TUUus
Growing bodies have the most in
nate heat, they therefore require the
most food, for otherwise their bodies
are wasted. In old persons the heart
is feeble and therefore they require
little fuel, as it were, to the flame, for
it would be extinguished by much. On
this account, also, fevers In old per-
sons are not equally acute, because
their bodies are cold.-Health Culture.
