G. T. Larkins-Wo have many rea
sons to praise Nerv-Worth at our
house, as we all have at different
times taken 1t. After our last little
girl was born the mother did not gel
strong as fast as she should, Her
appetite was very poor and she could
not rest well at night.
! got her bottle of Nerv- Worth
and she had only taken a few doses
when we noticed an improvement i'll
her condition. She took three bottles
at that time. And now when any OF
use get "off our feed" or feel bad we
take some Wentworth and get all
right in a short time.

up to the present time, the only
region where the bald eagle has main
tained encouraging numbers has been
the coastal region and large river val
leys OF Alaska. Here 1t did breed
In numbers surprisingly large for a
bird Of Its size. But the Alaskan
bounty law. which provides for the
payment of 90 cents for each eagle de-
stroyed, although II went into effect
only on April 80. 1917, had already,
by April 10. 1919, resulted in the kill
ing Of 5000 eagles. Moreover. the
bounty seekers have undoubtedly not
confined their depredations to Alaskan
territory, but have extended them in
to the British provinces adjoining
Alaska. In order to swell their gains.
1t is possible that by this time more
than one-half-perhaps more than
three-quarters-of the entire species
have already been sacrificed.
III action is to be taken, It must
be at once. For protection, to be eff
fective, must come, not merely before
the species has been annihllated, but
before II has been so reduced as to
suffer the weakening effect Of inbreed-
Ing or the failure of the scattered
individuals to find each other and
raise young.
an view Of all that is known by
naturalists of the habits Of this in
offensive bird, the hostility to the
eagle In Alaska Is based rather on
mislnformation and ignorant prejudice
than on any real damage done by the
birds. The tales of its ferocity and
destructiveness to game or domestic
animals are for the greater part pure
fiction. for the rest. usually gross. ex-
aggerations. Moreover. II Is the DEM
onstrated policy of the United States
department Of agriculture-wise from
experlence-to discountenance bounty
laws for the determination OF birds
of prey. Much money Is spent each
year In the control Of harmful rodents
whose Increase is favored by the de-
struction Of such birds. For our
American eagle there is the added
plea Of Its patriotic significance. And
finally. as II is a migratory bird, the
right to destroy II cannot be claimed
by any state or territory. Like most
Of our other migratory birds. II should
