PAYS TO BUILD BIRD HOUSES
Feathered Songsters, Through Their
Destruction of Insects, Increase
Yield of Farm.

Birds are desirable to have about
the premises. not only on account Of
their beauty and song but because of
their economic worth. The little
feathered sOngsters are especially USE
full as insect destroyers during the
breeding period, when they have to
work early and late to obtain sufficient
food for their nestlings. One way to
increase the number making your
property their summer home is to put
out feathers, bits of wool and twine
during the nest-building season for the
birds to use in building their habita-
tl0ns. Another way is to build safe
retreats for them in which they can
rear their young comfortably. Most of
the houses will be occupied year after
year. In fact, no attraction for sum-
mer birds is more effectual than plen-
ty OF houses suited to the needs and
habits of the various kinds of house
birds. During idle hours the construc-
tiOn of few of these bird dwellings
is fascinating and useful work.

correct diagnosis of diseases and their
successful treatment through medicine

1t was DR.. Pierce, its founder,
who over so years ago gave to the
world that wonderful stomach tonic

Discovery" and that famous non
alcoholic medicine for women, "Fa-
vorite Prescription"
In his early professional career, DR..
Pierce realized that every family, but
especially those who live remote from
a physician, should have at hand an
instructive book that would teach them
something about First Aid, Physi-
ology, Anatomy, Hygiene; how to rec.
ognize different diseases, how to care
for the sick, what to do in case of ac-
cident or sudden sickness, etc., so he
published that great book, the Medical
Adviser" an up-to-date edition of
which can be procured by sending 80
cents to Doctor Pierce's Invalids'
Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y.
Later, DR.. Pierce added another link
to his chain of good works by estab-
fishing a bureau of correspondence to
which any one can write for medical
advice, without any expense whatever,
and if necessary, medicines especially
prepared in Doctor Pierce's Laboratory
will be sent by parcel post or express
for use at home, at a reasonable cost.

selves in every wardrobe for all those
occasions that once called for q one
piece frock or spick-and-span, tail
ored suit.
There have been two kinds Of sport
apparel introduced in America: the
serviceabIe ugly English kind, in
which the real English sportswoman
INDUCES, and the new English kind
which was seen at the fashionable Eu-
ropean resorts during peace summer,
and which the modern. smart English
woman wears during the day at the
country house parties.
The Correct Choice.
In between these two types there
has existed an ugly type which is
strictly American. 1t consists of a
Il sweater which has no style. There
is feeling, however, that this in
between type has had it's day and that
if women are to wear sport clothes
correctly, they will base their choice
upon one or the other of the English
types.
They will not go far wrong in either
We have already learned to wear the
ribbed wooden stockings, the heavy
tan -colored brogan shoes. the deeply
colored sweater that has its own roll
ing collar and a belt of ribbon OIL
leather instead OF knitted Strings
which were the features of last sum-
mer's sport clothes abroad.
We have also learned the French and
English fashion of keeping on string
of pearls under an open-necked sweat
er. which is in questionable taste.
Now, here comes the spring and the
open air season under mild skies
and there comes about still another
type of open air apparel 1t calls fo1
a coat not a sweater. 1t approves OF
the soft coloring of the Franco Eng
fish sport clothes of last summer, but
it has an air that is quite American.
The sketch shows one of these cos
tunes. 1t has left for the south in a
trunk and it will be seen on the
beaches of Florida and in the quaint
crooked, awning-covered streets OF
Havana a town which has beckoneo

pushed there by prohibition, but &c

in dark places behind boxes and

And while they were busy with
this the father rats set out to search
for food. 1t didn't take them long
to find the pantry and gnaw holes
through the wall into 1t. And they
were not quiet about their work
either. The farmer and the farm er' g
wife knew what was going on. They
could hear the scamper of little feet
