The Crow Must Be Suppressed.

Now that the world is faced with a serious shortage of food, and that the price of seed corn is soaring beyond bounds, 1t behooves us all to dlscrim- mate sharply between those birds that are insectlvorous and therefore the friends of man and his crops, and those that are gramlnivorous and hence pe- culiarly inimical to human interests. Among the latter family of corvldae, the crow and his cousins-ravens, rocks, magpies, jackdaws, etc.-are adjudged to stand, despite the fact that their diet Is more or less omnivorous.
 Their depredations in grain fields at the time of sowing are, in fact, SO serious that In France the secretary of agriculture has issued bulletins to the various prefects, recommending the destruction of these birds, ana nf- fering information to this end.-Scien- hao American Supplement.

 She knew that she must have cut him deeply in mans tenderest spot his self-esteem. But just how we'll she had gauged the look and possibilities of Mir. Andrew Bush, Hazel scarcely realized.

They left the log. Their course up the ravine took them directly past the gentleman on the bench. And when they came ubrenst of him. he rose and lifted his hat at tho very slight incli- nation of Miss Weir's head.
 How do you do. Miss Wcir?" said he. Quite pleasant afternoon"
 To the best of Hazel's knowledge, MT. Andrew Bush was little given to friendly recognition of his employees, particularly in public. But he seemed inclined to be talkative; and, as she caught a slightly inquiring glance at her escort, she made the necessary in- troductiOn. So for a minute or two the three of them stood there cxchang- ing polite hanaltieS. Then Mir. Bush bowed and passed on.
 He's one of tho biggest guns in Granville, they say" Jack observed. "l wouldn't mind having some of his business to handle. He started with nothing, too, according [" all accounts. Now, that's what call success"
 "Oh, yes. in business way he's success" Hazel responded. But he's awfully curt most of the time around the office I wonder what made him thaw out so todny?"
 And that question rccurred to her mind again in the evening, when Jack had gone home and she was sitting in her own room. She wheeled her chair around and took a steady look ut herself In the mirror. A woman may never admit extreme plainness of fea- ture, and she may deprecate her own fairness, if she be possessed of fair ness, but she seldom has any illusion about one or the other. She knows. Hazel Weir knew that she was far above the average in point of looks.
 She was smiling at herself just as she had been smiling at Jack Barrow while they sat on the log and fed the swans. But even though Miss Weir was twenty-two and far from unso- phisticated. 1t did not strike her that the transition of herself from de- mure, businesslike office person in so- Der black and white to radiant crea- lure with the potent influences of love and spring brightening her eyes and lending yelled caress to her every supple movement. satisfactorily ac- counted for the sudden frlendliness of Mir. Andrew Bush.
 
 Miss Weir was unprepared for what subsequently, transpired as a result of that casual encounter with the man. nging partner of the firm. By the time she went to work on Monday morning she had almost forgotten the meeting In Granville park.
 Hazel's work consisted largely of dictation from the shipping manager, letters relating to outgoing consign- ments of implements.
 It was, therefore, something of a surprise to be called into the office of the managing partner on Tuesday aft ernoon. Bush's private stenographer sat at her machine in one corner.
 Mr. Bush turned from his desk at Hazel's entrance.
 Miss Weir" he said, 'T wish you to take some letters"
 Hazel went back for her notebook, wondering mildly why she should be called upon to shoulder a part of Nelly Morrison's work, and a trifie dubious at the prospect of facing the rapid-fire dictation MT. Bush was said to inflict upon his stenographer now and then.
 When she was seated, Bush took up sheaf of letteps, and dictated replies. Though rapid. his enunciation was per

MEDICINE?
Only One Way to Know, De-
clares Writer.
Seeks to Educate Public the
Value of Good Health.
Recommends Tonic Under
Certain Conditions.

A well-known physician is quoted
as saying that Careless habits, evil
habits and ignorant habits result in
fatalities whenever an epidemic dis
ease appears in a community"
1t should be we'll known that ex-
cesses and indulgences of whatso-
ever kind bring about condition
of low vitality. To have low vitality,
is to be partially sick; to remain so,

sense to remove low vitality.
Do you catch cold too easily? Are
you weak, irritable, nervous and
worn out before the day is half
over? Have you aches and pains
of Unknown origin? Are you too
thin and seemingly "bloodless?" Do
you have tremors and unsound
fears? Do you lack energy and
ambition? Are you Respondent
without reason? Is your digestion,
faulty and your appetite fickle? Do
you suffer with dreadful pains in
the back of head and neck? Do you
have shooting pains like neuralgia
and rheumatism?

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says q glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps " fit.

Just as coal, when it burns,
leaves behind a certain amount of
incombustible material in the form
of ashes, so the food and drink
taken day after day leaves in the
alimentary canal a certain amount
of indigestible material, which if
not completely eliminated from the
system each day, becomes food for
the millions of bacteria which in
fest the bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomain-
like poison are formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get
feeling right must begin to take in
side baths. Before eating break
fast each morning drink glass of
real hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it to
wash out Of the thirty feet of bowels

poisons and toxins and to keep the
entire alimentary canal clean, pure
and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick
headache, colds, biliousness, con-
stipation, others who wake up with
bad taste, foul breath, backache,
rheumatic stiffness, or have a sour,
gassy stomach after meals, are
urged to get a quarter pound of
limestone phosphate from the drug
store, and begin practicing internal
sanitation. This will cost very lit
