i is designed TO be set on a pole or
tree stub for the use of swallows
especially, and for these birds the cav
ity should be about by inches, with
a depth of inches and an entrance
~ inches in diameter. 1t can be
cleaned by simply lifting the box from
Its base. Bluebirds and wrens, as well
as swallows, nest in this style of
house, though they prefer cavity 8
inches deep. Figure 5 illustrates a
house to be attached to q tree. 1t can
be opened for cleaning by turning a
button and removing the bottom. This
house is easy to build and if suitably
proportional is adapted to a great va
riety of birds. Plans are furnished
for two SiZes-one for bluebirds and
the other for screech owls or sparrow
hawks.
The flicker house shown in Figure
is designed TO be placed on a post or
the stub of a tree. The cavity should
be Z by inches and 16 to IS inches
deep. The roof can be lifted in the
same way that q stopper is removed
from a bottle. A house suitable for
members of the woodpecker family
and also for nuthatches and titmice,
including chickadees, is shown in Fig
ure Z. 1t is attached to boles of trees.
The bottom is removable. Woodpeck-
ers demand rather deep cavity for
EeSting-from u to Is inches. The
other dimensions required are about
6 by 6 inches, with an entrance from
Ia TO 2 inches in diameter. An inch
or so of sawdust should be placed in
the bottom of the house, as wOodpeck-
erS do not gather nest materials

FEEDING FRUiT-EATING BIRDS

cOmplished by planting selected spe-
cies of fruit-bearing shrubs and trees.
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
ing abundance; in winter the supply
gradually decreases, and late winter
and early spring are the seasons of
actual scarcity. This is the critical

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft cOrns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get a small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without a bit of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

WHITE BEST FOR BATHROOM

White paint and white woodwork
are most attractive in the bathroom
unless one is blessed with a luxurious
white-tiled and white-enameled bath
room, such as the modern apartment
houses provide for their occupants.
There should always be a breeze blow
ing the white curtain at the bathroom
window in summer time, and the shad-
ed or an awning let down, is much
more grateful to the warm and weary
seeker of cool plunge than room
into which the sun pours blindly.
growing Plant on the window sill
will add to the cool suggestion of the
bathroom. and in summer the floor COW
ering may he taken up and blue and
white rag rug laid before the tub.
Hand-drawn linen window shades
are charming in bathroom windows.
Such windows are usually small and
set rather high in the wall. so such a
shade need not be very large.
1t may be hung with loops of tape to
an ordinary brass window rod and
should hang fiat against the window
opening, the draWnwork or cutwork
border running across the lower edge
above deep hem.
Hand-embroidered and initiated
towels give suggestion of luxury and
distinction, and the housekeeper can
do the simple embroidery very easily
and quickly in odd moments. But
whatever the kind of towels be sure
there are always a-plenty. There are
few things more maddening than to be
all ready to step into a bath and to
discover that one must dress and take
trip to the linen closet for towels
and WaShclOth.

The Port of Missinn Men

Scarcely a week passes without
news being conveyed to the world that
some man or woman has dropped ont
OF sight. They are recorded among
the missing and are rarely heard of
afterward. Sometimes it is because
they desire to sever all ties and to
seek new pastures. In such cases the
man or woman merely slips out of the
old life and into the new, and no one
can find trace of them.

ITO LIVE LONG!

A recipe given by famous physician
for long life was keep the kidneys in
good order! 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 a 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 inAam-
nation, as backache, scalding vwater,"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, vrusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by Or. Pierce of Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y. . If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.
