ESKIMO ACCUSED OF
 MURDER IS ACQUITTED

EDMONTON, Alta, Aug. 23.--Sin- niasiak, one of the two Eskimos from the Bloody Falls country, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, on trial here for murder in connection with the death of two priests, Father Rouviere and Father Leroux, was acquitted of the specific charge of murdering Father Rouviere. A con fession by Sinniasiak at a prelimi- nary hearing immediately after the arrest. in which he said he and Jul ksuk killed the priests, was written into the record. Counsel for the defense contended that Sinniasiak committed the act through fear of the priests, who were armed with rifles and who had hired the Es- kimos to draw their sleigh. It was, counsel contended, justifiable homi, eide.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING,
A Timely Warning on some of II
go ------- Dangers.

During the season of Christmas
shopping great care should betaken
not to unnecessarily expose yourself
to colds that are likely to result in
grip and pneumonia The excite
ment of the time, the sudden change
from the close and suffocating air of
the big stores to the street, are all
dangerous.
Doctors, declare that this is one
explanation for the annual increase
of sickness at this season. While
this article is written to again call
your attention to the value of Father
Johns Medicine in treating and pre-
venting colds, grip and pneumonia, it
will be of value to you and may save
your life if 1t causes you to be care,
fuf to avoid the dangers we have
pointed out. They are real dangers.
And if we cause you to avoid the
patent medicines, so many of which
contain nerve.deadening and poison
Gus drugs, by again warning you
against them, it will be the means of
saving your health.

FOOD PLANTS ALONG THE SEA
SHORE

Besides winter feeding, described
elsewhere in this series, birds fire.
quenting the seashOre may be catered
toby growing plants which produce
their favOrite foods, according to the
United States bureau Of biological sur
vey. Where the coast is rocky and the
soil OF ordinary character, conditions
are little different from those inland,
and except in relation to exposure
there need be no especial preference
given in the choice of plants. 1t is
worth mentioning, however, that sew
eral trees and shrubs are better to
withstand the winds so prevalent on
the coast. These include three species
of juniper, common barberry, English
thorn, hybrid crabapple, European and
American mountain ashes, smooth and
staghOrn sumacs, privets, buckthorn
and red-berried elder. Where the soil
is chiefly sand, and that often shifting,
conditions are not suited to many
plants. Selection may be made, how
ever, from the following, all of which
are known to thrive in such surround
ings: -
For seed eaters.-Beach grasses,
Japanese smartweed, and sunfiOwer.
For fruit eaters. - Baybcrry sea
buckthorn, sand cherry, beach plum,
cranberries and pearberrv.
The true northerner., 1917-01-19
FEEDING FRUIT-EATING BIRDS

Feeding fruit-eating birds is best ac-
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
time of year for many birds, and a
plentiful supply of wild fruit will tide
them over. Fortunately, everywhere
in the United States there are some
fruits that persist until there is no
longer any need Of them. If enough
are planted, no birds able to live on
this class of food should starve. The
best of these long-persisting fruits are
juniper, bayberry, thorn apples and
related fruits, holly and snowberry.
Information on fruits useful for this
purpose in any section of the United
States may be obtained from the Unit
ed States bureau Of biological survey.
: Birds devOur cultivated fruit prin-
cipally because the processes of cult
walton diminish the wild supply. The
presence of wild fruit in locality al
ways serves to protect domestic va
rieties, especially when the wild trees
or shrubs are of the same kind as the
cultivated ones and ripen earlier
Among those most useful for the pur-
pose are mulberry, wild blackberries
and strawberries, serviceberry, wild
cherry and elderberry.

RIRDHousE CONSTRUCTION.

Wood is n 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 eXasperatingly TO frighten off
more desirable occupants. To provide
for proper ventilation, row of small
holes is sometimes bored just beneath
the caves, but there should never be a
ventilating 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, 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 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
harmOniously 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 brdhouses are
suggested by the United States bureau
of biological survey:
The true northerner., 1917-01-19

The house shown in Figures 1 to
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 6 inches and an entrance
~ inches in diameter. 1t can be
cleaned by simply lifting the box from
it's base. Bluebirds and wrens, as we'll
as swallows, nest in this style of
house, though they prefer cavity
inches deep. Figure illustrates a
house to be attached TO tree. 1t can
be opened for cleaning by turning a
button and removing the bottom. This
house is easy to build and if suitably
proportioned 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 post or
the stub of a tree. The cavity should
be by z inches and Is to Is inches
deep. The roof can be lifted in the
same way that a 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 7 1t is attached to boles Of trees.
The bottom is removable. Woodpeck-
ers demand rather deep cavity for
nesting-frOm u to 1S inches. The
other dimensions required are about
6 by 6 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 woodpeck-
ers do not gather nest materials.

student at the university, Smith had
gone out boating with a friend. He re-
turned without the friend.
where's Jones?" he was asked.
"Oh, well, we had an accident. The
boat leaked and when we were bailing
it out Jones fell into the river. He
caught hold of the boat and pulled II
down to the waters edge. Neither of
us could swim and If had not, with
great presence of mind, hit him on the
head with the boathook both would

"Oh, Harold" cried the young per-

him do it over? Did he run too far?''
