HOW TO MANICURE CANARY
1t Is Job That Must Be Done, But
Extreme Care Should Always
Be Used.

AS canary grows old, it will be no
ticed that it's claws get long and catch
on the perches and wires as it hops
about the cage. In a state of nature
the activity of the bird as it moves
about on the ground or among tWigs
and limbs keeps the claws properly
worn down. Confined in a cage, the
birds claws become entirely too long.
It is necessary, therefore. to trim
them with q pair Of sharp scissors ev-
cry few months. 1t is important to
watch the cODCitiOn of the claws care
fully, as hy catching they may cause
a broken leg. In each claw a slender
blood vessel extends we'll down toward

Be Prepared to Nest Trouble.

There is Il serious side to life as well
rs q carCfrec one. The average mother
should remember this and should inn
press upon her family the Wisdom Of
being prepared to meet whatever trOu-
bic comes into the home.
Everyone has his or her burdens to
bear, and the Old-fashiOned habit Of
coming forward and making collections
for persons in trouble isn't in vogue
these days. 1t is a good thing, too, that
times have changed, for no one need be
dependent upon public or private char
ity if he or she looks ahead acknOWl-
edges his or her responsibilities and
uses the proper means to meet them.
AS rule it is always the extravagant
and unsyStematic person who has to
call for aid; but the woman who looks
at life from a business standpoint
who assumes her respOnsibiIitieS-is
always Independent and never finds it
necessary to seek assistance from
others.

Thousands Of these remained for days
in extreme agony, uncared for. Thou
sands of them died for want Of care.
1t was one Of the supreme horrors of
all history.
It happened that a Swiss, Henri Du-

saw these dying, neglected men. He
told about it SO wildly that the nations
Of the world decided that it was time

time provided for the immunity Of

and the sign Of that immunity was to
be red cross. And from that author

until the year 1900 the Red Cross was

Owl Not Really Wise Bird

Since it has been recognized that
the owl is a beneficial bird, econom-
ically important as destroyer of
rats, mice and gophers, there is an
increasing tendency to restore it's
classic significance. Like many peo-
pie Of deliberate manner and few
words, owls are not as wise as they
look. They are quite easily caught
in traps. In case the barn in which
the owls make their home catches fire
the owls usually burn to death. They
get along very we'll in captivity when
they are comfortably housed and fed
either mice or a variety Of food, but
they cannot live on diet of raw pork
or beef.

Martyr Heroes of Red Cross.

The tale of victims to the white flag
crossed with red" is long one. Medi-
cal men, nurses, ambulances bearers
and helpers have fallen by scores,
sometimes under fire, sometimes strick-
en- by typhus. The representatives Of
the Russian Red Cross followed the
advance guard into action at the at
tack Of Kheok-Tepe. Twelve of them
paid for it with their lives; six were
wounded The Dutch on the outbreak
Of war with the sultan of Atchin sent
a messenger to announce their inten-
ton Of adhering to the convention. The
messenger was murdered. The Ital-
ian Red Cross society during the Abys-
sinian war escorted the wounded to
Nassau through a savage and hos
tile country. At Abba Carima fifty
surgeons Of the Italian army were Kill
ed or left for dead upon the field. Many
fell under fire in the act Of relieving
the wounded; others were saVageiy
stoned to death by the Abyssinians.

:HORRORSOF WAR !

Remarks by Ian Malcolm, M. p, Rep
resentative of the British Red Cross
With the British Mission, Made In
Washington, D. c., May "a, 1917, to
DELEGATES From American Red Cross
Chapters.
In France and Flanders you come
nearest still to the true agony of the
situation. How can I describe it?
Think Of the worst earthquake, of the
worst floods that have scourged and
shocked you here at home, multiply
the horror Of your impressions hum
dred fold, and you will come near to
the horrors Of the Marine and the Aisne.
Multiply them a thousand fold and
you will realize the ferocity Of car
mage at the battles Of the Ancre and
the Somme.
Multiply them two thousand fold and
that is the picture of misery and pain
and death after the great battles on
the plains Of Russia and in the noun
tains of Persia and the Caucasus.
Think Of the ruin by floods In flaL-
ders, with the stencil Of thousands OF
carcasses, human and animal, poison
ing the atmosphere for miles around
for those who must stay day and night
in the trenches. Think of the devasta-
ton by fire in France, where villages
and woods and broad pasture lands are
utterly wiped out of existence, not
house nor a church nor a tree left
standing where once there were thou
sands of families living in condition
as prosperous and happy as anywhere
in the world. Then turn your minds
to the picture Of some great engage
ment. Try to conceive long trenches
of men writing in torture from poi
sonOus gas or from liquid flame, of
soldiers smashed and disfgurcd by
shell wounds, their decorations indie
scribable as their heroism is undaunted.
Leave the trenches and retire behind
the firing line with me. Here we are
on roads lined with men on stretchers,
some dead, scores mOrtally wounded,
hundreds upon hundreds of casualties
in one Or another degree of collapse.
The middle Of the roadway is filed by
dozens of ambulances after every ac-
ton. There is perhaps a mile length
of hospital trains waiting in a siding
to convey the wounded to base hos
pitfalls. And all this purgatory Of pain
is dependent for relief upon the skill
Of our doctors, the tenderness of our
nurses, the efficiency Of our equipment,
all Of which means, and is dependent
upon, the generosity Of the public.
May 1 not take it for granted that
Just as the fighting manhood of the
United States is soon to be with us in
the trenches so you Of the Red Cross,
, who have done so much for us in the
past, are now eager to be modified in
the allied army Of mercy and of char
ity that is almost divine. | assume
that your organization is coming with
us in increased numbers and with in
creased equipment, if necessary, to the
mountains above and around Saloniki,
to the plains of Egypt, to East Africa,
to the Waterless wastes Of MesopO-
tamia, our tears and triumphs mingling
beneath the shadow of the Red Cross
flag.
