IN bird society. RobbRg the nests Of
smaller birds is a favorite pastime,

he steal eggs but hc kills young chicks.
The insect food Of this jay constitutes
about one.tenth Of it's annual susten-
ance. The inclusion Of grasshoppers
and caterpiilars makes this part OF
the birds food in It's favor But the
remainder OF its animal diet includes
altogether too large a proportion OF
beneficial birds and their eggs, and
In this respect it appears to be worse
than its eastern relative, the blue jay.
While it's vegetable food is composed
largely OF mast, at times its liking
for cultivated fruit and grain makes
1t most unwolcome visitor to the

lack tone. They become nervous, ir-
ritable, despondent, melancholy, the
brain fags, and the memory fails.
Therefore if you wish to preserve
your youthful vim, vigor and vitality,
to ripe old age, you must supply the
deficiency of Phosphates lacking in
your food by using Argo- Phosphate,
the form of phosphate most easily
assimilated.
NOTICE: Argo- Phosphate, which is
recommended and prescribed by ply
sicians in all enemic cases, is not u
secret or patent medicine, but one
that is sold and recommended by well
known druggists verywhere, and ply
sicians are daily prescribing the con-
stituents contained in it. Being en-
tirely unlike many other phosphates
it. is easily assinlilated ard will be
found effective in the treatment of
indigestion and stomach troubles, as
well as for care worn, nervous condi-
tons. The manufacturers of Argo-
Phosphate will forfeit to any chari-
table institution $780,. if they can
not treat any man or woman under
65 who lacks Phosphates, and increase
their strength and endurance from
100 per cent to 800 per cent. or more
in one mon this time, if they are free
from organic trouble. 1t is dispensed
by all reliable druggists.
If your druggist will not supply
you, send $1.00 to the Argo Labora-
tories, 10 Forsyth St., Atlanta, Ga,
and they will send you a two-weeks
treatment by return mail.

MUNICH. June % - Prof Albert

criminal court in Memmingen. He
was sentenced to a fine of $3.50, but
escaped Imprisonment because he

case was being investigated.
The professor came TO woeris-

preached a number of French war
prisoners who were employed on

When the farmer by whom the
prisoners were employed protested,
