WORTH WEIGHT IN GOLD.
Saskatchewan Farmers Say Prairie
Chickens Exterminate Grasshopper

Saskatchewan Farmers Say Prairie
Chickens Exterminate Grasshopper.
Regina SasK.-A campaign for law
to prohibit all killing of prairie chick
ems in Saskatchewan for nine years
has been launched by the farmers of
the province They declare the birds
are worth their weight in gold as de-
stroyers of grasshoppers and other
insect pests.
The value of the chickens in this re-
spect was oddly demonstrated recent
ly. A farmer driving horse and buggy
through the country ran over and
killed chicken. This was an extra
ordinary accident and he got out to in
vestigate. He found the birds crop
full almost to bursting with grasshop-
pers. 1t mad eaten SO many 1t could
not fly and could hardly walk. It's vo-
racious appetite for hoppers was the
indirect cause of its death.
The present law that protects prairie
chickens provides an open season Of
two weeks. During this brief period
guns of sportsmen are cracking all
over prairies every day and the de-
struction is enormous.

PRESiDEN MT vAiNLY PLEADS THAT
PACT Sc "RAiLRoADED."
DEMOCRATS CAUCUS.
DEMOCRATS SHOW SPIRIT
Wilson ideals Stir fS Senators to Fight
Separate Peace-Borah Lays
Down Barrage While Lodge
Pleads for Ratification.

Washington.-An unexpected upris-
ing OF democratic senators, aliying
themselves with senator Borah, re-
publican "irreconcilabie," developed
against the German, Austrian and Hun
garian peace treaties, notwithstanding
a letter from President Hai ding de
manding all possible Aaste III railica-
ton.
Fifteen or eighteen democratic sena-
tors are reported to be on the warpdCh
against the treaty. A parry caucus
or conference OF democratic mem
bers of the foreign relations commit
tee and the steering committee prob
ably will be held to decide upon a
course of action.
Democratic opponents OF the treaty
are framing a program of reservations
which they will ask their pro-treaty
colleagues TO support. One of these
reservations, it is understood, will I'M
dertake to define more specifically the
rights and advantages which the Unit-
ed S ates is secure under the terms OF
the treaty. Another is calculated to
revive the ideals of Woodrow vii on
and will seek TO assure support OF the
United States to the enforcement OF
the terms of the Versailles treaty I'M
der which the United States claims
rights and advantages.
Senator King of Utah, who is taking
leading part in the democratic at
tack on the treaties, summed up his
attitude in this language:
Senator Borah contends that the
new treaty of peace with Germany In
wolves us too deeply in participation
in European affairs. We contend that
it does not go far enough"
In addition to the Is or IS democrats
reported against the treaties, it is I'M
derstood that three or four republicans
are prepared to vote against it. Prom
inent among the democrats opposing
the pact are Senators King of Utah,
Glass of Virginia, Reed of Missouri,
Watson of Georgia, Mcclellan of Ten
nessee and Harrison of Mississippi.
Their motives are mixed. Reed and
Watson are "irreconcilables," and most
of the others are ardent followers OF
ex-President Wilson and advocates of
his creed of closer participation in
European affairs.
President Harding's letter. asking
speedy action on the treaties was sub
mitted to the senate at the opening Of
debate on the German pact. Ii was
addressed to Senator Lodge on Sep

IsEs DRASTIC ACTION.
TO ORDER MANY CHANGES
Chief Claims Rum Runners and Boot
leggers Have Corrupted Law En-
forcement Agents--Seeks Ev-
idence for Prosecution.

Chicago Charles G.. F'itzmorris, gen.
eral superintendent Of police, asserted
in letters he sent to Joan II. Alcock,
first deputy, and Charles F. Clyne, dis
trict attorney, that he is convinced
that so per cent OF the members are
involved in illegal sales and transpor-
tation Of liquor.
Chief Fitzmorris promised drastic
action If evidence to support his be-
lief were obtainable.
In Chicago there is more drunk
enLess than there ever was-more
deaths from liquor more of every evil
attributable to the use of liquor con-
tinued the chief, and all this initiates
against the efficiency of the police de-
partment
From reports have received / am
convinced that large percentage of
the membership of the police depart
ment is involved seriously in the ille-
gal sale or transpor alton of liquor. In
fact, the reports and rumors that have
reached me indicate that 80 per cent
of the department is interested in
some way in violating the prohibition
law
This department alone cannot en-
force the governmental laws controll-
ing the sale and distribution of liquor
any more than it can enforce the laws
governing counterfeiting, but we can
take a very long step in that direction
by separating the police department
from all connection with the illicit sale
and distribution of liquor"
Coincident with this statement, the
chief issued an order shaking hundreds
Of policemen out of their ruts and
sending them to new territory, where
they will be unable to assist rum run
ner, and bootleggers. He also ordered
one police station closed and three new
ones opened and deputized John Fl. Al
cock, first deputy police chief, to de-
vote his entire time to securing evil
dence against the guilty police.
At the same time he asked the gov
eminent forces to cooperate with him
and furnish the police department. with
any ammunition" they could. in the
vigorous war that is just beginning.

Thin Blood Saps Energy GUIDES Pep
to-Mangan Rebuilds the Blood.

Wrestling with weakened condi-
tion Of the blood is desperate strug-
gle. Thin, watery blood deprives the
body of energy and causes played

A man with weak blood has not the
full use of his powers. He lacks de-
cision, and vacillates until he loses
self confidence.
Some men, and women too, go fall

ing that they need GUIDES Pepto-Man-

have taken it for while. what diff
ference there is in the feelings! The
old-time vigor and the red-blooded hue
of good health return. The new rich
blood gets to work, building, fortify-

standard. Physicians have prescribed
GUIDES Pepto-Mangan for years as a
blood builder. Druggists sell it in
