Fresh Greens for the Canary.

Canartes are very fond of lettuce, celery tops and ether young and ten. der greens, as all birdlovers knew. When the birdnan tells Us we must not give these things to our pets too frequently the temptation to go con- trary to advice is strong, for we sym- pathize keenly. An accident showed me the way to gratify our pets without harm to them, as experience has proven. Some months since, little birdseed was spilled on the earth in large tub containing rubber plant. Soon these seeds sproutcd, axd we hit upon the idea of removing the bottom from the gage and setting it over the young sprouts. The joy the canaries found in their greens, and the conse- Quent discovery that tie birds were really gaining in health and song con- vfnced us that box of sprouting bird seed was the thing to keep on hand for them.-Exchange.

Conserving Tin Cans.

All over the world many uses are found for used five-gallon tin cans. In the Orient. Africa, Latin-America, the West and East Indies, the natives pur. chase them for innumerable purposes. There are men engaged solely in buy. Ing and selling these containers. The tinsmith coverts the containers into all kinds of household utensils-lamps, cook stoves, pots, baking pans. sprink. lers. small pumps, plates, measures drinking cups, rat-traps and buckets, With one face removed and glass sub' stf.uted therefor the can becomes a dis play box for grocery stores, or a rice containec. Cut diagopally in two it serves as a &ast pan. In Latin-Amer. lean cities !t is used by peons to cut grass in parks, beiug formed into a sort of knife. Used entire it is good for shipping camphor, lime. alcohol and niolasses. It makes an excellent dower-pot.

DEATH 0F FORMER
 AMbASSADOR SH0Ck ID ALL WASHINGTON
S,lidden Death of Sir Cecil Spring Rice Comes as
 Surprise to Nation.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Diplomatic Washington was shocked by the news of tle sudden death in Ottawa of Sir Cecil Arthur Spring Rice. who retired after nearly five years of ser vice as British ambassador to the United States early last month in favor of Lord Reading
 Although it had been known that
 Sir Cecil had desired for long time before his retirement was announced to be relieved of his heavy duties iD charge of the embassy, no iatimation was given when he left Washington that he was in ill health However, officials here pointed out that he had been under tremendous strain from the responsibilities deveolping upoh him, especially during the negotia- tions on the operation Of the allied blockade before the United States en- tered the war
 It was known that Sir Cecil tender ed his resignation during the visit here of Arthur Balfour, to take effect at the convenience of the foreign of flee Ills retirement was announced from London January in connection witt! reorganization of personnel of the British diplomatic service which also retired Lord Bertie as British ambassador at Paris.
 The embassy here was in charge of Colville Barclay, it's counsel lord, un- til Lord Reading arrived this week.
 Sir Cecil, who became British am- bassador here May 6. 1915. succeed ing Ambassador James Brice, now Viscount Brice, was born in 1859 and spent many years il the British dip lomatc service. He came to Wash ington first as third assistant secre- tary of the embassy in 1886 and was appointed acting second secretary to act as secretary of the British dele gation tc the international marine conference August 21, 1889. After serving for a time at Brussels and Tokio he was again transferred to Washington in 1893. He was success s;veiy charge d'affairs and minister to Pershia from l90O-190S. He then became minister to Sweden and ie' Stockholm to accept ambassadorsh!n here. His earlier services here were remembered during the days of Lei q Pauncefote. He was created K. (. Nj. G. in 1906.
 Sir Cecil's difficult task here dut, ing the early years of war ill lnd1ts- ing the American government to ar cept with eQu'animity the oppress''e reaulations of the entente hlockad7 was looked upon as an unusuai achievement.

TO see the tinge of neaithy bloom in your face. to see your skin get clearer and clearer, to walk up with out headache, backache, coated tongue or a nasty breath, in fact, to feel best, day in and day out, just try bathing every morning for one week.
 Before breakfast each day, drink a glass of real hot water with d tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it as a harmless means of washing from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow els tna previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and to ilns; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach The action of hot water and lime stome on an empty stomach is won derfully nvigOrating. 1t cleans out all the sour Concentrations, glasses and acidity and gives one splendid appe- tite for breakfast.
 A quarter pound of limes stone phos- phate will cost very little al the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the tlood and in ternal organs. Those who are sub ject to constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, rheumatic twinges, also those whose skin is sallow and complexion pallid, are assured that one week of inside-bathin, will have them both looking and feeling better in every WaV adv

Why Women Talk.

Men are downtown at their offices all day and have a chance to talk. The women have to stay at home, and with the exception of the milkman, the gro' cery man, the iceman, the old clothes man, a few miscellaneous peddlers and hucksters, and the woman next door, there Is nobody to talk to. That is why wife talks her husbands head off when he comes home at night, Husbands, who through long years of experience, have grown accustomed to this merely answer "hmh-hmh" with out hearing.

HERMAN COMMENT IN PRESIDENTS
 LATEST SPEECH
co v Wilson Should Go Back T to Monroe Doctrine and
 Keep Out of Europe.

r,o Hague. Feb. 14.-Discussine 9 ,.as;dant Wilson's latest message, the rlf6i .,i official Nord Deutsche Alige- an,o semn Zeitung, according to tele- % "rom from Berlin, says:
 W Eve take note of President Wilson's .cortion that he does not wish to in ..rfore in European dispute, but this pa.ortion is not entirely reconcilabl "r .';tb his other statements regarding .ha % participation of all parties in a ss 1;scnssion of disputed points. It is Jesrable that Mir. Wilson return to tso oId Monroe doctrine, which form erly was sacred to America. Thus far @ his proposals amount simply to an ;ntontion to compel the world to sign an Anglo-Saxon peace.
 After the experience sof this war, o,nociallv with the Anglo-SaXon pow ers ers nobody will be inclined to sign ' s,ch peace, which would not be last ;ns hut would represent the tyranny 0' of England and the United States. Germany and her allies are still dis nosed toward peace, but will also fight m unanimously until peace corres- nonding to their requirements is achieved.'
 "Vague As Ever.''
 : Amsterdam, Feb. 13.-In discussing President Wilson's address to con- gress on Monday the Koelnische Lei- tung says:
 "Presdent Wilson shows that he is no longer willing to toe the line of the entente policy of stark negative. Also he has considerably watered his wine, although he is still unable to conquer desire to saddle the military gentle men in Germany with blame for the suferings of humanity. His present formula for the solution of peacd questions is as vague as ever.'
 The newspaper professes satisfac- ton in that President Wilson has thrown "cold water on the Paris economic conference regarding "separ- ate and selfish compacts affecting commerce and raw materials"
 President Wilson's reference to the mobilization of American resources is dismissed by the Zeituns as being the usual bluff'' It concludes: "The president's latest effort to separate Germany and Austria-Hunsary will meet with the usual end.'
