IMOST all bird lovers would

come abundant outside our
windows providing, of course, that We
have put suet out for them. Nothing
Is so certain to increase your pleasure
in the Winter months as the placing Of
cents worth of suet at some handy
spot, for 1t is the carnivorous birds
that fare the worst in Winter.
Species that can eat seeds and crumbs
Of bread are amply provided for: but
where now are the spiders and ants
and grubs that the nuthatch loves? In
dustriously he spirals up and down the
trees, the wind ruffling at his gray cos
tune, shelling off the bark in the hope
of finding Just one insect morsel And
then he discovers your suet! Apparent
ly, too, he tells his friends about 1t. for
there are some times five and six OF
these birds at once outside my window.
And a friendlier tanner, prettier, tight
and-righter little fellow does not take
wing in these promiscuous parts.
Many folk who know the song birds
Of Summer fairly well, at least by their
calls, are but poorly equipped to tell
our Winter birds apart. They seem to
think that juncoes and chicadees and
nuthatches are pretty much all the
same thing-small, gray little fellows
that utter restrained cheeps only.
Further, they are confused by the fact
that our local ornithological publica-
tions list as Winter birds lot OF species
that the amateur scarcely ever encoun-
tiers, while the birds that seem like Win
ter birds to US are, IN many cases, not
mentioned by the wise ones as such.
The fact is that most Of those birds we
ordinary mortals call Winter birds are
classed as permanent residents, though
it IS likely that the individuals that
breed here in Summer. like the nut
matches, 60 South in the Winter. while
other families from farther North come
here in large numbers to spend the
Winter.
From an amateurs point Of view. the
Winter birds most common around
Washington are the barred and screech
owls, the hairy and downy woodpeckers,
fiickers, blue jays, crows. fish crows,
meadow larks. goldfinches, song spar
rows. cardinals, cedar waxwings. Caro-
lima wrens. the titmice, blue birds and
white-headed nuthatches, not to men
ton English sparrows and starlings
These, of course, are permanent resi-
dents, whose numbers are often swollen
in Winter by additions from the North.
Birds that appear in Winter only, or
at least never in Summer. are what the
srnithologist means. puriStically, by our
Winter visitants In the District the
commonest of these are (aside from
the water fow) the yellow-bellied sap
sucker, the rusty blackbird, the purple
finch, the pink siskin. the white-throat
sparrow and tree sparrow, the Winter
wren, the brown creeper, red-breasted
nuthatch, golden-crowned kinglet and
the hermit thrush. Juncoes and Caro-
lima chicadees are in a class Of super
abundance almost by themselves

DR.. T. I. Bennett, in the Practitioner,
says that X-ray examination will re-
veal cancer Of the stomach In the early
stages.
The chemical examination of the
stomach and intestine Is important. as
few cases will fail to give q positive
test or fail to reveal dependable evt-
dence in q carefully made analysis OF
the stomach contents.
In ulcer Of the stomach or first part
Of the small intestine, there is usually
SO much pain and distress and the
symptoms are so clear, that the ulcer Is
soon discovered by X-ray and other
methods. Most Of these cases are cured
by diet and alkalis, and the remainder
by surgery.
In cancer there are not the clear-cut
symptoms, and all middle-aged persons
with any stomach or abdominal symp-
toms-stomach distress or fullness and
q feeling that there Is an obstruction
between stomach and 1ntestine-should
not be unduly alarmed, but go to the
physician or a cancer clinic and make
sure that it Is not cancer that Is caus-
ing the trouble.
The point Is that, although the cause
Is unknown, physicians and organiza-
tions have made 1t possible to save the
lives Of victims Of cancer II they apply
for help early enough.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK

He appealed to Litvinoff and, de-
spite the distance and various other
difficulties, he secured the co1sul's re-
lease and safe conduct cut of Russia.
Those who watched the progress OF
conversations In Washington between
Litvinof and President Roosevelt were
impressed by the importance of Bullitt's
role. He was not far distant at any
time during the more than a week Of
negotiations. His previous contact and
association with Litvinof proved !.z
valuable.
Bullitt's recommendation TO Presi-
dent Wilson. following his Russian mis-
sion, made in April, 1919, when read
now seem almost prophetic.

- hcult to break. We should be
patient with the baby who,
L i having had bottle for II long
months, does not take too
kindly to a cup. Despite our inclina-
ton to let baby do as he chooses, we
are doing him real injustice unless
we tactfully lead him to the use of a
more advanced type Of feeding utensil.
All Of the growth period consists of ex-
changing one kind of habit for another
Of more intelligent type.
All habits are nextricably inter-
twined. The baby who learns how to
drink by cup and feed himself with a
spoon is going to adopt other habits
which are Of q distinctly higher type.
The child has to advance-otherwise
he stands still. Drinking milk from a
bottle at one year, at which age the
child Is perfectly capable Of drinking
successfully by cup, is equivalent to
standing still.
It isn't always easy to convince baby
that milk by cup Is just as good as milk
by bottle. That Is one reason why 1t
Is well to initiate these habits early in
life, before the le-drinking habit
becomes so firmly fixed. Give even the
small baby some liquid by cup. BY the
time he Is months old, some times be-
FORE he can take part Of each bottle
feeding by cup and finish with the bot
tie. Between months and l year we
increase the cup feelings until the bot
ties are eventually discarded. My leaf
let, WEAVING the Baby From Bottle to
Cup" should be extremely helpful to
the mother embarking on this new
training. To obtain q copy, send
self lf-addressed. Scent stamped envelope
to me, in care of this newspaper.
The young mother should be warned
that when she feeds her bottle baby on
her lap and then puts him into his crib
and lets him go to sleep without bot
tie. she is smoothing the way for wean-
ing from a bottle. The hold which the
bottle has over babies is the same al
lure that is exercised by pacif1er. The
baby becomes accustomed to going to
sleep with this comforting soother in
his mouth. BY accustoming him to go
to sleep without such false aids we
make 1t far easier to divorce him from
the bottle when the time arrives for
him to advance into childhood and
drink by cup.

THE fine flavor Of the Thanksgiv-
ing bird depends on the method
Of cooking 1t as well as on the
L quality Of the bird, and the ex-

cellence Of the stufilng. The
bird should be enveloped In its own
steam during the cooking, so that 1t
absorbs such essences as 1t exudes. It
cannot be boiled and the water used for
soup without losing flavor, for this has
gone into the soup. The richer and
better the soup, the poorer and more
tasteless will be the meat. The reason
why poultry is so often flavorless is that
all the goodness has been boiled out
Of the meat. No soup meat is rich in
flavor. So steam the bird in a tightly
covered pan.
