Rare Christmas GIFT

year-old boy. Leaving their automo-

and gazed into the well-flled shop

dcles IN the dry-goods stores the child
beamed interestedly. At the array Of
toys in other windows his eyes fairly
danced.
Presently they came to a window in
which eggs and like commodities were
on view. AS the child's parents were
enthusiastic and consistent over the
prevalent egg-boycott. her fruit had
been scarce in the household. The lit

sIRDHoUsE CONSTRUCTION.

Wood is a better building material
for birdhouses than metal or earthen-
ware. Entrance holes should be shell
tered by projecting roofs to exclude
rain. All houses should be easy to
open for cleaning. A perch at the en-
trance is unnecessary, and may even
be an objection, as it is frequently
used by English sparrows while they
twitter exasperatingiy to brighten OF
more desirable occupants. To provide
for proper ventilation, a row of small
holes is sometimes bored just beneath
the caves, but there should never be a
yentlating hole lower than the en-
trance, and joints should be made tight,
as drafts OF air are dangerous. In case
there is danger that rain may be
driven in through the door, a small
drainage hole, which will be covered
by the nest, may be made in the
middle of the floor.
The appearance and durability of
houses are improved by a coat OF
paint A neutral shade OF green or
gray is suitable for houses mounted in
trees, while those on poles, being con-
spicuously placed. lend themselves
tremendously to the landscape when
painted white. Heads of nails and
screws should be set rather deeply
and covered with putty.
In building birdhouses it should be
with the object OF attracting particu.
lar species of birds, as the require
ments OF the different species vary
The following forms Of birdhouses are
suggested by the United States bureau

4 Hint TO mexico
Secretary Lansing Objects to
Radical Changes in the Ma
ITEMS Constitution.
SENDS PROTEST TO CARRAAzl
Relations With This Country May Be
Affected by Restrictions on
Rights of Foreigners.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Future rela-
tions OF the Mexican de facto govern
ment with the United States may be
materially affected by the manner in
which the suggestions of Secretary
Lansing regarding the proposed radi-
cal changes in the constitutions are
received by General Carranza and the
members of the constitutional con-
gress now in session at Queretaro.
The protest delivered to the foreign
office in the City OF Mexico today
against incorporation in the new con-
stitution Of provisions limiting prop
erty holdings of foreigners, and pro-
Viding for other restrictions of the
rights OF foreigners was made after
the receipt at the State Department
Of numerous complaints from Amert-
cans with property in Mexico.
Might Cause EntangIements.
Enactment OF such constitutional pro-
visions may prove cause for diplo-
matte entanglements, not only with
the United States government, but
with other governments whose nation
ais have invested in Mexico.
Secretary Lansings protest against
the adoption of a provision for confis-
cation of property was based on the
proposed article in which it is stated:
Private property shall not be seized
for public purposes without compen-
sation. The need of utility of such
seizure shall be determined by the
proper authority, but in the event Of
any disagreement as TO terms the ex-
preparation shall be carried out by the
judicial authority.
Would Restrict Foreigners.
Further basis for protest was found
in continuation of the article read
ing:
Civil and commercial corporations
may own urban property and manufae-
turing or industrial establishments,
either within or without inhabited
| places; they may also own and ex-
plot mining properties and those con-
tanning oil or other subson substances,
as well as railroads and pipelines, but
they may not own or administer in
their own right rural properties in an
area greater than that absolutely
necessary for the accomplishments Of
the purpose for which they have been
created. The executive shall in every
case determine this area"

especially, and for these birds the cav
ity should be about 3 by inches, with

cleaned by simply lifting the box from

as swallows, nest in this style of
house, though they prefer a cavity 8

be opened for cleaning by turning a

proportional is adapted to a great va

is designed to be placed on post or

members of the woodpecker family
and also for nuthatcheS and titmice,
including chickadees. is shown in Fig
ure 4 1t is attached to boles of trees.
The bottom is removable. WOOdpeck-
ers demand a rather deep cavity for
nesting-from u TO IS inches. The
other dimensions required are about
by inches. with an entrance from
IL to inches in diameter. An inch
or so of sawdust should be placed in
the bottom of the house, as wOodpeek-
ers do not gather nest materials.

Feeding fruit-eating birds is best &C

Through late spring and summer there
is usually an abundance of insect food
in addition to fruit enough for all the
birds. So far as fruit alone is con-
cerned, fall is the season OF overflow

gradually decreases, and late winter

A recipe given by famous physician
for long life was: rKeep the kidneys in
good orderl Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise so you sweat : the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid"
For those past middle life,' for those
easily recognized symptoms of inf1am-
nation, as backache, scalding uwater, !"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, ~rusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce of Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, n. z. If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package and you win

than hthia and that it dissolves uric
