mel when SO cents buys bottle of

ness, constipation, sluggishncss, head
ache, coated tongue or sour stomach.
Your druggist says if you don't find

forked tail.
Range: Breeds throughout the
United States Except the South At

Canada; winters in South America.
Habits and economic status: This
Is one OF the most familiar birds of
the farm and one Of the greatest in
sect destroyers. From daylight to dark
on tireless wings 1t seeks its prey, and
the insects destroyed are countless.
It's favorite nesting site is a barn
rafter, upon which it sticks its mud
basket. Most modern barns are so
tightly constructed that swallows can
not gain entrance, and in New Eng
land and some other parts of the coun-
try barn swallows are much less
numerous than formerly Farmers
can easily provide for the entrance
and exit of the birds and so add ma
terially to their numbers. 1t may
be well to add that the parasites that
sometimes infest the nests of swal-
lows are not the ones the careful
housewife breads, ana no fear need
be felt OF the infestation spreading
to tho houses. Insects taken on the
wing constitute the almost exclusive
diet OF the barn swallow. More than
one-third Of the whole consists Of flies,
including unfortunately some useful
parasitic species. Beetles stand next
In order and consist of a few weevils
and many Of the small dung beetles
OF the May beetle family that swarm
over the pastures in the late after
noon. Ants amount to more than one
NTH Of the whole food. while wasps
and bees are well represented.

6plendtd nerve, was killed IN q Dtf00II
hght. Killed because he was about to
uncover things which were better kept
under cover, In the opinion Of the
Mexican government.
His friends knew why he was killed,
they knew he had been In the shadow
Of death many times, but only his in
Inmates knew why he persisted In
taunting the grim reaper to come get
him.
A "secret agent" is a secret agent
in all that the word implies. He must
serve his country In silence. He may
do Drawer deeds than those accom-
plished by the soldier or sailor In bat
tie, but the world cannot know of
them. No decoration graces his breast,
no honors are thrust upon him by an
admiring public, yet he continues on
his perllous way doing his duty, man
thOut country, who is invaluable
to the nation, but yet one whom the
nation cannot recognize.
If he is killed, his death is often
avenged by one Of his fellow agents,
for many friendships are formed not
alone between men of his own ma
tiOnal corps, but with those of other
nations with whom he must necessar-
lily work.
Often French, American and Brit
ish secret agents work hand in hand.
The Frenchman may discover while
doing some work for his own govern
ment that there Is plot being hatched
for German invasion Of the United
States through Mexico. He passes the
Information along to the British and
American agents.
Suddenly fleet Of British and Amer
lean warships get sailing orders. They
depart, "destlnation unknown" There
Is no Invasion.
Help Each Other.
The American may uncover a mes
sage of vast Importance to France.
His friend, Paul Ledoque, has worked
often with him. Paul shall know.
And so 1t goes on, the never ceas-
ing state of activity throughout the
world; men come and go, come full
Of the enthusiastic desire to do for
the best interests of the nation, and
20 by the more violent, yet expected,
route Of Sudden DEATH"
Unknown, unhonored and unreward-
ed, they play with death as you play
with your own particular amusement,
accomplish their ends by any means
In their power, yet guarding the ma
ton from more dangers than you ever
dreamed could exist.
Not particularly clean game, for
1t involves theft, assault and battery
and often deliberate murder, but neces-
sary to the preservation of law and

twenty killed and about an equal number

engineer. mounted the cab, and brought
the train to a stop. They then fired
a volley into the coaches. The Car

battle did not cease until every govern
