Reasons for Feedina Birds.

BY feeding the birds In cold weather
one provides ammunition against the
mosquitoes Of June, explains a mem
Der of the Animal Protective league.
Il seems that birds feed their young
on mosquitoes, thus destroying great
numbers of the pests. Little natural
food is available for birds in the WIN
ter except in the extreme South, and
even there less can be found by them
at this season than in the summer. SO
when the table or pantry shelf Is
cleared of crumbs IL the contents of
the crumb tray are scattered outdoors
instead of being put in the garbage
can. the birds will be thankful, and
will show their gratitude by saving
the food-giver many mosquito bite
next summer.
Mosquitoes are only one of the many
excellent reasons why birds should be
fed during the winter. The others are
all the other insects which hamper
the production of the garden, and all
pleasures of song and plumnge.-St.

USE DOGS AS SMUGGLERS
Animals Aid Illicit Dealers in Bring
ing Liquor and Drugs Into the
United States.

Training dogs to smuggle liquor
across the Rio Grande river is the
latest device of ingenious minds of
those who make a living by means
of Illicit importation to the United
States of liquor and drugs. That In
novation in line running came to light
at FL Paso, Tex, recently when a
Mexican river guard shot dog

Rio Grande with four bottles of
tequila. Mexican liquor of cactus

The dog, as the story Of the serv-
ice to his master is told by United
States customs men, had been max
ing nightly trips between Juarez and
FL Paso with contraband goods for
several months. The strange, but
regular, actions of the animal first
were noted by customs officers about
two months ago. Beginning at two
o'clock in the morning. the dog would

To sIna Like a Frog.

A correspondent in the Australian
Bulletin writes: am going to take a
patent out for this recipe. 1t was at
Ingham, n. O., and ! was discussing
coming corroboree with black Mlcky.
"My word" he said, big fellow cor
roboree tonight. Good singer come
from stone river; he train on frogs"
collected the following hint for Mel
ba from Micky. The blacks catch a
small brown frog and Keep it in a
billy of water until the liquid gets pea
soupy. Aborigine Caruso drinks this,
and then eats the frog. His voice Is
then guaranteed to be "plenty strong
and not tired"

North pakota's Ignite

A government report says the fuel
problem has been forever solved In
North Dakota" The western half of
the state Is underlaid with Ignite, the
beds estimated to contain 600000,000,-
900 tons. Over thousands of square
miles this soft coal lies so close to the
surface that farmers merely dig a
hole in their own fields and take out
the coal as they require It, During
1918 1,0o0000,OoO tons were mined. If
the farmer is too busy with his farm
work to help himself, he can buy it
for $3.50 or 81 per ton. Many of the
large grain elevators are operated by
power furnished by coal that is mined
on the SPOT, and this general economy
in fuel has aided materially in in
creaslng the per capita wealth.

Not So Bad After All.

Had shortage of coal like the pres
ent risen during the Napoleonic wars,
says a writer in the London Daily
Chronicle, there would have been no
difficulty in providing labor for the
mines. We should have called in more
women. Women worked in the mines
until 1912, and Hugh Miller left a de-
plorable picture of these poor over
toiled creatures" They bore the coal
in baskets on their backs up ladders
raised in the shafts, and their days
work was estimated to equal the car
rying of 112 pounds from sea level to
the top Of Ben Lomond-S,192 feet.

In these strenuous, exacting times,
many men and women overwork their
nerves. They do not take enough rest.
They are not careful when and what
they eat Soon they get nervous, ir-
ritable, suffer from aches and pains,
are tired all the time, have no ambi-
ton, lose strength and vigor and then
become sleepiess, worn out, and sick.
Never take to drink and false stimu-
lants-fhey are temporary makeshifts.
But do act wisely. and begin the use
of Cadomene Tablets, which act as a
powerful tonic for digestion, nutrition,
and elimination. They help nature to
perform the functions of the organs
Of the body and nature will in turn
restore strength, red blood and vigor.

guaranteed to be satisfactory in every

Real Sense Of Humor.

Ernest Tromberro, twenty-eight. of
Steubenville, o., possesses an extraor-
binary sense of humor. Fleeing from
q man who accused him of theft he
raced to the roof of the McGill build

the skylight, landing on counter in a
five and ten-cent store three stories
below. The first thing his eyes made
out after the fall was this sign:
Everything on this counter five cents"
Gee" he exclaimed to the scared
shoppers, 1--WE never felt so cheap In
my life" He was arrested, having
been uninjured by the drop.

Motor company has the agency for the

Samson people for all the territory
embraced within a radius of 60 miles
