PATRIOTIC TO PROTECT BIRDS
Helping to save Our F~eathered Friends
Means Helping to Save the
Food Crops. s.ssiafn
18th & Liberty Sta, Stock Yards Seaa3oo
KANSAS CITY, MO.

The work done by birds In saving
food by destroying injurious insects
and weed seeds is almost unbelievable,
but the figures given here are vouched
for by scientists. For instance:
A scarlet tanager ate $50 gypsy-moth
caterpillars In Is minutes, which Is at
the rate Of 200 an hour.
The quail. most hunted of birds, has
no bad habits and eats 145 species Of
insects in summer and 100 kinds OF
harmful weeds seeds in winter.
A flicker was found to have eaten
1000 chinch bugs; a nighthawk. 600
grasshoppers; Il Maryland yellow
throat $500 plant lice in 40 minutes
The stomach Of a cedar waxwing
contained 100 canker worms a snow
bunting was found to have eaten 1000
pigeon weed seeds, a Bob White made
Il meal on 5000 seeds Of the same
plant, and a mourning dove ate 1900
seeds Of yellow sOrel.
Professor Beale estimated that In
Iowa the tree sparrow eats 875 tons OF
weed seeds every year.
The robin, the flicker, the thrush, all
found frequently In the game bag Of
the hunter, subsist largely on q diet
Of ants, beetles. bugs, flies, grasshOp-
pers, caterpillars and spiders.
Food saving is patriotism. Prove
your patriotism by helping save the

SCRATCHED RASPUTIN'S FACE

Mile. Vera Smirnova Is known to
every Russian who has been in Petro-
grad within the last five years. Her
marvellous contralto voice had won for
her the most enviable position In
court life.
She was the lioness of the most ex-
elusive set of all Of Russia, and she
was the idol of the peasants of that
Inflated country. Her rendition of the
Russian gypsy songs endeared her to
all.
Travelling in the set she did, she
was bound to come, oon or later.
to the notice Of that famed mystic of
all mystics-Rasputin, the Holy One OF
Russia.
For a long time the man who domi-
mated Russia even more than the czar
himself, had cast coyetous eyes on the

by the deportees through the use OF
raw rutabagas and the paralysis Of
the brain and of the marrow or the
special kind of jaundice provoked by
the use Of lupin seeds as a substitute
for coffee berries.
White Plague Prevalent.
"The death rate all over Belgium,
but especially in the large towns. is
as high as at the time of the most
terrible epidemics. A Brussels paper,
appearing with the consent of the Ger
mar censorship, admits that there are
more civilian dead from lack of suf-
ficient food than Belgian soldiers fall
en- on the battlefield On the other
hand, q report on the Work of the
War Orphans in Belgium shows that
in 1917 there We're fewer orphans OF
soldiers fallen in the war than Of civ
ilians killed during the same period
and Of deportees dead in consequence
of their deportation.
Cardiac affections and cerebral
hemorrhages account for the greater
part of the deaths, tuberculosis, eSpe-
cially under the form 'of tubercular
meningitis, for almost as many. Ty-
phoid fever. caused by the occupying
army, has occasionally levied a heavy
toll on the civilian population.
1.-The situation in 1918 can only grow
worse; 1t is undeniable that the ply
steal standard Of the nation is lower
ing dangerously and that the effects
of the German occupation on the
health Of the people will make them
selves felt for a long time after the
war"

during an entertainment held in the
home of a grand duchess.
On the plea that he desired to talk
with her on spiritual things, she went
with him into the conservatory. When
she realized his plans, she forgot that
she was the guest Of the grand duch-
ess, forgot what the result might be,
forgot her surroundings completely and
almost tore into shreds the face Of the
Holy One. When Rasputin was ques-
toned as to the cause Of his scars, he
replied that he had been wrestling

"The famine In Petrograd Is becom-

tically no food in the markets or In
the shops. Two-thirds, If not more. OF
the latter are permanently closed for
want of goods of all kinds besides food

so that we all had to go without any
bread for two days.
I'm spite of special commissions and
stringent measures against boarding
and speculation, profitpering goes on
to n great extent among al classes.
In fact. food Is a far more valuable
commodity than paper money and Sc
cretly c%irculates Instead Of 1t. All CON
versation indoors and on is about
food and how to get 1t. Half the
working day Is wasted in pursuit Of

organization and greed can 60. I may
mention the fact that no fewer than
fifteen carloads Of rotten hares We're
recently brought into town and several
attempts made to foist them on the

white flour. 80 shillings a pound eggs.
3 shillings apiece; carrots, 5 shillings
a pound; potatoes. 6 shilllngs a pound.
With the exception Of occasional linn
tied sales most Of these articles can
only be obtained privately.
I'm these circumstances the British
community In Petrograd. which is now
reduced perhaps to about 500 persons
who are unable for various reasons to
leave Russia. felt obliged to induce
the British consul and the incumbent
Of the English church to wire to Lon

US tide over this serious crisis. I nm
told that a telegram to this effect has
been sent to the foreign Office. but so
far no assistance Is forthcoming. We

CLUB HOUSE FOR OFFICERS
PLANNED AT CAMP MERRITT.

What will be the first club house in
the Atlantic division designed exclu-
sively for officers is soon to be built at
Camp Merritt, New Jersey. More than
$4,000 has been donated to the Red
Cross for the purpose, and the plans
have already been drawn up.
While a club for enlisted men was
recently given by Mrs. Merritt, widow
of Gen. Wesley G. Merritt, no provi-
sion has heretofore been made for the
officers. and since thousands of them
pass through this military post en-
route to France the need is great.
The structure, covering 10000 feet
of ground space, one story in height, is
to include a billiard room and lounge,
dining room, kitchen, women's dining
and rest room, with barber shop and
FIVE modern baths fitted with porcelain
tubs instead Of showers.

Final opportunity is given this af-

great act, bringing four of the IA

song gives added elegance to the
whole.
