TELL or ENEMY'S APPROACH
Certain Birds and Animals Make tho
Best Kind Of sentineIs That an
Army Can Employ.

A wounded soldier, asked what had
surprised him most In the battle zone,
told of finding a robins nest In an
empty shell case.
As rule birds are the finest SEN
tinels In the animal kingdom. They
become aware Of approaching aircraft
long before man hears anything. Early
In the war parrots were kept at the
Eiffel tower as sentinels, but they
grew accustomed TO the sound of en-
emy planes and were no longer Of use.
Pheasants always grow restless and
chatter noisily If Zeppelins are ap-
preaching, even when they are far
away, so far that man can hear no
sound.
What Is perhaps stranger Is the fact
that such ordinary creatures as pigs
should sight q balloon when 1t Is COM
Ing over. The 'bllstcr" makes no
sound, yet, should one appear against
the sky, miles from a farmyard, the
farmer will be made aware Of the fact
by the curious antics Of his pigs and
the clucking of his hens.
Toy dogs always are susceptible to
the presence of danger, and many n
pet shows uneasiness before a raid.
Cats, too, show fear of gunfire and
seem to know when danger threatens.
Dogs, birds and horses are very sem
sitive to sound. Watch the birds dur
ing daylight raid, listen to the dogs,
and visit the Stale where the horse
restively stamps up and down. But
that all animals can accustom them
selves to sounds that cause fear is
proved by our cavalry horses, dogs
that accompany their masters into the
firing line, and the robins nest in the
empty shell case.

Tn nm article about food and grow
Ing fat, q well-known doctor says in
American Magazine:
"When you continue to pour strong
mustard and other seasonings into
your food day after day and week
after week there can be no question
that their effect is injurious. 1t is ex-
actly the same as II one used drug
of some sort. Constant use creates
the desire to increase quantities un-
I'll the amount used becomes positive
ly harmful.
"For example. every one knows that
when mustard or pepper is put on the
skin the skin reddens and in a few
minutes n blister Is caused. And,
since the skin can stand q great deal
more than the membrane Of the mouth
md stomach, you can we'll imagine the
effect upon 1t when you pour strong
mustards and peppers into your ston-
Rch. So If you are prone to indiges-
