Crow az a pelieacy.

Mason City Times: The Des
Moines Register presents timely
article on the preparing Of crow for
table use after being soaked in on
ions for six weeks, in which 1t Is
declared to be similar in taste and as
nourishing as picked wild boar. The
Register quotes DR.. Adolf Schnee. an
eminent German scientist. as saying

liable source of food and that the
old, tough birds that follow the ar
mics by the tens OF thousands are a
plentiful source of fat than can be
used in making soap, II not as feed.
for human beings.
DR.. Schnee suggests, therefore,
that crow hunting be begun system
atically, after the government has
been convinced of the correctness OF
his views, and after experts have de-
termined just how crow fat can be
purified, and to just what purpose II
can be put after being adulterateo
/ or added to other and scarcer fats.
Under the skin of each bird. he has
found. there are layers of fat OF
particularly desirable character
which is much used by the Russian
peasants.
From a full grown crow there can
be obtained. he says; from 80 to l5O
grams of fat, or an average perhaps
of 100 Kilograms from every 100 b1rds

that he is installing himself for tina

Nor 1s it desirable now to raise the
issue OF knownothingism, that bloody

those immigrants are now among the
very best of the American citizenship
and even while the knownothings
were still denouncing and burning,
the foreigners were girding up their
loins to fight for the union, as thou

lie buried on all the battlefields Of

where is there a better American

Because we are somewhat involved,
temperamentally mostly, in the wars
that are now being waged in Europe,
we should not be swept off our feet
into contest between Americans
who are "nativists" and Americans
who are foreign born. Such lines Of
cleavage would be most unfortunate
when we need most of all united

Have you noticed that if, in sour mood, you

it seems to frown back at your
IF you think of some grievance against thai
particular friend, the face on the card seems to
harden with your thought. And if you turn to
pleasant memories and kindly feelings, the pic
tured face softens to your mood.
It is not idle fancy, but psychology, science
in which the ablest minds find deep interest.
Imagination, maybe.
But nine tenths Of the things of this life are
colored by imagination; and wise and happy is
he who colors them brightly instead of darkly.
If by imagination merely, we can turn even
the fixed expression of a photograph to frown
or a smile, as we will, what fools we ever to
see frown on living, mobile face that does
actually respond to our own moods.
Thoughts are often hard and green and
tough, till the warm sunshine of the heart rip
ems them.
A pleasant smile on the face of friend is
about the easiest thing in the world to create,
and about the sweetest.
A genial mood is like the sunshine that
brightens and sweetens and ripens all it falls
upon.
Not mere fancy, but the subtlest of all sci
ences.
