States Department OF Agriculture.

idge calls attention to the appalling

The New York Birds
Turn Night into Day
Sophisticated Songsters Eschew Early
Worm for Cake Eating Possibilities.

"In New York even the birds are
sophisticated remarked visitor
from out OF town, according to the
New York Times. II anyone lives
here long enough he becomes stamped
as it were with, the character OF the
CITY. In the hotel where | am stopping
one OF the dining rooms has a variety
OF song birds
1T is a pretty idea, but see how ii
works in New York. Up my way the
birds are the first awake in the morn
ing. The poets have had lot to say
about the habit and moral lesson has
been drawn. something about getting
the first worm.
Now, in my hotel, ont Of the larg-
est and most fashionable in town, the
birds sing all right. The music sets
the pace. All evening and late into the
night YOU hear their voices. The music
and the crowd are there until the small
hours OF the morning, and sometimes
till nearly daylight, and the birds &C
commodate. When the music stops and
the crowd leaves the birds get tc
sleep
Now what happens even to birds
in sophisticated New York? The din
ing room is not used until about 8 in
the afternoon and the birds sleep I'M
disturbed But at the first note of the
jazz orchestra they all begin to pipe
up. In other words, the early bird is
corrupted in New York to sleep every
day till late afternoon What kind OF
a worm does he expect to get at that
hour"

HEADACHES ARE
PRAISED BY DOCTOR
DECLARES THAT PAIN is USE
Full AS WARNING OF DIS
ORDER IN ONES BODY.

When your head aches you should
be grateful Painful though the eXpe-
rience may be, it is not an affection
but valuable and useful alarm con-
veyed by the signaling system OF your
body that warns you of some danger
Gus disorder in your bodily mechan-
ism.
This is the opinion of DR.. Edwin F..
Bowers, of New York city, nationally
known health authority. A headache,
he says, is not disease but symp-
tom. 1t is an indication that something
is wrong in the liver, the stomach, the
ears, the eyes or other organs, and it
comes to you in time to repair the
cause.
Common Forms.
Perhaps the most common form Of
headache, says DIR. Bowers, in Popu-
lar Science Monthly, is nerve irrita-
ton. Loss of sleep, grief business
worries and undue excitement may
cause a headache of this sort.
Next to nerve irritation the most
common form of headache, according
to DR.. Bowers, arises from the foul
ing of the body by foreign matter;
poisons generated in the intestines and
absorbed into the circulation.
Eyestrain also is likely to produce a
violent and enduring headache, says
Doctor Bowers. Structural defects OF
the eyes, too, he declares may be at
the root of headaches.
Most Useful Pain"
$50" writes Doctor Bowers, 1T is
apparent that headache invariably
means something besides a headache,
II you will take the trouble to find
out what this something is and re-
move it you will be convinced that
headache is the most useful pain you
can have. However else a headache
may be treated it never should be
treated with contempt"

Cutlery OF Late Car Is
Now in London Restaurant
Six Hundred Knives From Palace Be
ing Used in Obscure Establishment.


Cutlery which was once the prop
erty of the late Gar and which adorn-
ed the tables of the royal palace is
now in public use in an obscure res
taurant in one of the slum districts of
London.
There are 900 knives at the estab-
lishment each bearing the royal arms
engraved upon the blade. Some OF
them have the device filled in with
gold, but these the proprietor is not
using in the restaurant.
The history OF the knives since they
LETT the Russian court is not known,
but when they came into the hands
OF the previous owner Of the restau-
rant they all had massive handles OF
solid gold These were replaced, how
ever, by more conventional and less
tempting ones, and although the cut
lery is used daily by customers it is
seldom that these historical relics are
recognized.

Church That Seats Eight

The little stone church, FIVE miles
southeast OF Fort Atkinson, Iowa, is
reputed to be the smallest church in
the world, and as its fame spreads
abroad. many motor tourists are max
ing visits to the tiny waysde shrine.
The doors are always open and
fresh flowers constantly are kept on
the miniature altar. The building is OF
stone and inside there are two pews
either side the aisle and each pew
seats two persons, making the total
seating capacity of the church eight
The church dates back 10 the days
when Fort Atkinson was built by the
government to protect the Winnebago
indians on the neutral ground from
their enemies, the Sioux Indians OF
the north. An Indian mission and
government farm were operated III
connection with the fort, and numer-
Gus trading posts were established
close by.
After the Indians were moved from
Fort Atkinson to Minnesota in l848,
Tohn Gortner induced six Ohio fami-
lies to go to the region. These early
settlers bought the fur trading posts
and made a chapel of one of the log
buildings. This was destroyed by fire
and in its plact 40 years ago Mr.. Gort-
ner and his son-in-law, F. J. Huber,
built the present stone church. naming
it St. Anthony's chapel. Every year
on the fifteenth of June-St. Anthony
day-the Huber relatives meet at the
chapel in honor of their grandparents.
A cemetery at the rear of the church
contains the earthly dust of 70 MEM
bers of the family.

horizontal position from the car, be
extended up vertically. as much as
seven or eight feet If possible This
gas is heavier than air and when
discharged near the ground as it now

Indigestion
May Lead to
. Appendicitis

Repeated attacks Of indigestion
often lead to serious inflammation
Of the stomach and intestinal tract.
This inflammation may finally ex-
tend to the appendix, which usual
ly becomes infected through the
presence of foul, irritating matter
in the bowels.
1t doesn't pay to ignore even the
most simple warnings Of digestive
trouble. Neglect is responsible for
much misery. Uneasiness at the
pit of the stomach, sour taste in the
mouth, excessive gas, heartburn,
nausea, vomiting, bitter risings, con.
stipation ,biliousnoss, dizzy spells
and palpitation Of the heart after
eating are some Of the most common
symptoms of poor digestion.
If you are subject to any form 0
stomach distress, don't fail to try a
