Young Girls, Heed This Advice.
Girls who are troubled with painful or
irregular periods, backache, headache,
dragging-down sensations, fainting

seek restoration to health by taking Ly-
dia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
“Przemysl.”
“Przemysl” is one of the few really
simple proper names that have secured
notoriety ‘in the Russian invasion of
Galicia, It is pronounced “Pzhem-is-1,”
with the accent on the “pzhem.” Just
how easy this is one may appreciate
by considering Przemyslany, in the
first syllable of which the “r” is sound-
ed, thus: ‘“Przhe,” with the Austro
Hungarian variation. of “miscellany”
following. In pronouncing “Przemysl”
you should carefully hold a “p” be
treen your teeth while pronouncing
“ahem” (which is a soft, mushroom,
" dumdum variety of “shem’”) and just
as you are about to eject it deftly in-
sert the “p” in the outer hook of the
“z;"” thus: “Pzhem.” Nothing can be
simpler.
Finally Captured Eagle.
After defying a score of traps and
as many guns of farmers, who have
sought vainly to impose summary
sentence for the loss of hundreds of
chickens over ® period of six months,
Old Baldy, a monster eagle, was
caught by a man with a lasso. He
lay waiting in the shadow of his
chicken house for the chicken thief
for more than eight hours. The bird
swooped down shortly after daybreak.
The lasso was thrown around the
eagle's neck. The man wanted to
capture the bird alive, but it fought
so desperately that he was forced to
shoot it. The eagle measures eight
feet seven inches from tip to tip, and
weighs 73 pounds.

LIGHT BOOZE.
Do You Drink It?
A minister's wife had quite a tus-
sle with coffee and her experience is
interesting. She says:
“During the two years of my train-
ing as a nurse, while on night duty,
I became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between midnight and four in the
morning, when the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except
make the rounds, and it was quite
natural that I should want a hot cup
of coffee about that time. I could
keep awake better.
“After three of four years of cof-
fee drinking, I became a nervous wreck
and thought that I simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
I was subject to frequent bilious at-
tacks, sometimes so severe as to
keep me in bed for several days.
“After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
alfnost beyond repair, so I resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
“I began taking Postum, and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feel
ing from the lack of the coffees drug,
but I liked the taste of Postum, and
that answered for the breakfast bev
erage all right.
“Finally I began to feel clearsr
headed and had steadier nerves. Aft
er a year's use of Postum I now feel
like a new woman—have not had any
bilious attacks since I left off coffee.”

CONSTRUCTIVE WORK OF GIFFORD PINGROT
Here is a Record of Achievement so Great That it Inspired Theodore Roosevelt, For-
mer President of the United States to Say That of “The Many Public Officials Who
Under My Administration Rendered Literally Invaluable Service to the People of
the United States, He (Pinchot) on the Whole, Stood First.” :
He took charge of the Forest Service of the United States when there were
only eleven persons in it, and left it the best organized bureau in Washington, em-
ploying more than 3,000 men. ;
n 1909, he prevented Richard Achilles Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior
under Taft, from handing over to the Morgans and the Guggenheims and Rockefel-
lers, billions of tons of coal in the Alaska fields. This was one of the greatest steals
ever attempted in America. .
He fought for the bill creating the Child Labor Bureau, for the benefit of the
children who work, and did not cease his efforts until the bill became a law. 0
He was one of the leaders in securing better, working conditions for the min-
ers. With the support and co-operation of Roosevelt, Pinchot, John Mitchell, and Jo-
seph A. Holmes were mainly responsible for the creation of the bureau of mines.
He has been a champion of the right of workmen to organize in unions and by
every fair means to compel recognition of such unions by employers.
He advocated and fought for the passage of the Esch bill to put an end to the
disease called ‘‘phossy jaw’’ by taxing the phosporous match industry out of exist-
ence.
He is one of the leaders in the United States for an honest protective tariff
based on the findings of a non-partisan scientific commission. :
When head of the Forestry Service he was responsible for initiating and put-
ting into effect an insurance plan to protect the workers in his department.
He joined the fight for the passage of a workmen’s compensation bill which
was finally passed by the federal government for the benefit of the men employed by
the national government.
He took part in the fight for pure food and helped frame the meat inspection
law, which the beef trust opposed in vain.
As chief forester, he virtually created the United States Forest Service, through
which the national forests are administered. .
He was responsible for saving a hundred million acres of public forests to the
people, while he held office, in spite of all the powerful corporations and individuals
who tried to grab our natural resources could do. s
He uncovered the attempts of the magnates to monopolize our natural re-
sources. He laid down a plan, now being followed, to preserve the people’s rights
and at the same time encourage business development and enterprise. :
As head of the National Forest Service he gave a large share of his active
interest to helping farmers in all states properly care for their wood lots.
Pinchot was the man behind the Act of June 11, 1905, which opened the national
forests to settlement under the homestead law. Over one million acres of farms have
been taken up under this act.
He has been an ardent and self-sacrificing worker for the forests and natural
resources of Pennsylvania. He worked with J. T. Rothrock, the ‘‘father of forestry’
in this state, to build up Pennsylvania’s forests.
HERE IS THE MAN WHO He was a member and secretary of the public lands
wiLL DEFEAT Penrose Commission and bore the brunt of the work.
people’s great deposits of coal, and other minerals, and
made it an issue. -
He checked the growing water power trust and
saved millions of dollars for the public. ’
He is an expert at law making. For twenty years
he has been active in shaping important and, funda-
mental legislation in the interests of the people.
He is the man who is responsible for the defeat of
the Raker Water Power grab bill, creating a vicious
precedent for giving away public rights to water power
companies.
- He has appeared more often before House and Sen-
ate Committees, urging progressive conservation and
humanitarian legislation, since his removal from the
government service, in 1909, than any other private
citizen in the country. ; : :
He prevented the passage of a dangerous bill intro-
duced March 28, 1910, by Senator Smoot, which would
have allowed the water power grabbers to help them-
selves to the remaining 12,000,000 horsepower of the
public domain now in federal ownership.
"He was responsible for the defeat of the vicious
Heyburn amendment to the Agricultural bill in the sixty-fifth Congress, which would
have ripped .up the national forests for the benefit of the timber barons.
He was instrumental in defeating in the House of Representatives on February
23, 1911, the so-called Mondell Alaska. Coal Leasing Bill, which would have turned
over the coal lands to the. grabbers who had been attempting to defraud the govern-
ment and were caught. :
Pinchot was responsible for defeating the nine Ballinger fake ‘‘conservation
bills’’ aimed at breaking down federal control of public water powers, coal, oil, phos-
phates and natural gas, and thus making it easy for the grabbers to raid the public
domain. .
He formed the National Conservation Association to fight the men who would
grab the natural wealth of the country. As president of that body he fought every
effort made to take the people’s resources without adequate compensation.
He was chairman of the National Conservation Commission and worked with
the governors of the various states to safe-guard and develop the resources of their
states.
He was a member of and the prime moving spirit in the Inland Waterways
Commission to develop the waterways of the country and thus build up a great
barrier against railroad domination. ; ;
He planned and put into effect a comprehensive system of grazing range con-
trol whereby on the government land, cattle and sheep men, whether rich or poor,
get a square deal. He lived on the ranges with the stock men until he knew absolute-
ly their needs.
y He initiated and laid before President Roosevelt the plan to better the condi-
tions of life on the farm. As the result of his work'Roosevelt appointed the Country
Life Commission August 10, 1908, and Pinchot became one of the leading members
of it.
Pinchot suggested and worked for the plan of revising our land laws in order
to make public lands more useful to the farmers.
He was a pioneer in the great government work of irrigation and one of the men
to whom the people owe most for the great success of this project, which has brought
millions of acres under cultivation.
“He played one of the leading parts in the effort to make the national government the chief
instrument in developing the irrigation of the arid West,” says Theodore Roosevelt of Pinchot, in his
autobiography.
Pinchot took a leading part in the scientific organization of the government bureaus at Washington. He
put the business of his own department and that of others on a sound modern basis.
Pinchot for years has been a leader in the movement to improve the condition of country churches.
He established a thorough and efficient system of game protection in the National forests.
He was the leading spirit and the director in the movement to conserve the resources of North America,
which resulted in the international gathering at Washington, at which definite steps were taken to preserve the

(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
The farmer who will build a food
shelter and furnish an abumdance of
food in it will find that many birds of
value to him as insect-destroyers, will’
haunt his premises. This is particu-1
larly true when there is a scarcity of
bird food in the vicinity. ‘The United

recently published bulletin on bird
houses has offered designs for shel-
ters that will protect food in all kinds
of weather.
To induce birds to enter a food shel-
ter baits are first placed in a conspicu-
ous place outside and the birds are
led by degrees to enter the inclosure.
Such food as suet, seeds, or cracked
nuts will prove attractive as bait.
Two designs are given in the bulle-
tin for adequate food shelters. The
first may be attached to a tree, the
other may be placed on top of a post
or tree stub. The sides are made of
glass. There is no bottom to either of
these structures.
Besides protecting food, such a shel-
ter will provide a place where one in-
terested in birds cam watck them con-
veniently.

If the farmer has neither the time |
nor inclination to make a shelter but!
still desires to attract valuable birds
by putting out food, the next best
thing is to fasten the bait te trunks or
branches of trees or scatter it on the
ground in sheltered places.

other means than food, particularly in
summer.

with little effort and material. Only
a small amount of cement is required,
or, if that be lacking, a pap with
stones in it, set in the ground will be
equally serviceable,
Cats are particularly dangerous to
birds, and should not be permitted
near the home-made bird pool during
bathing hours or go near the food
shelters.
Designs for simple and elaborate
bird houses that will interest all bird
lovers are given in a farmers’ bulletin
No. 609, which the United States de-
partment of agriculture has recently
issued. It is entitled “Bird Houses,
and How to Build Them,” and will be
sent free of charge to anyone request-
ing it from the department.
Protection for Milk Cans.
Much milk that seems to be perfect-
ly good when it leaves the farm,
reaches the consumer in bad condi-
tion, and the United States department
of agriculture is now convinced that
this is frequently due to a rise in the
temperature of the milk during trans-
portation. A series of tests that has
recently been completed shows the
importance of surrounding the milk
cans during hot weather with -some ap-
propriate insulating material which
will effectually exclude the heat,
Even when milk is to be shipped
only a short distance its temperature
should not be higher than 50 degrees
F. At this temperature bacteria will
multiply, but the increase is slow and
a few hours delay will result in no
serious injury. In milk above 50 de-
grees F. the rate of bacteria growth is
much more rapid. It follows that when
the milk is to be shipped a long dis-
tance it must be loaded on the cars at
a temperature much less than 50 de-
grees F. unless some efficient means
is taken to prevent the temperature -
rising during the journey.
Perhaps the most practical way of
accomplishing this is to wrap the cans
in a pair of quilt jackets, wet burlap,
or some other similar gnaterial. In the
course of the recent experiments milk
vas hauled a distance of 13 miles in
an average air temperature of 82.65 de-
grees F., the milk being shipped at a
temperature of 50 degrees F. "At the
end of three hours the cans that were
hair-quilt jacketed showed a raise
of only 5% degrees F.; those wrapped
in wet burlap, a raise of 81 degrees
F. Milk in cans that were left unpro-
tected rose in the same time to a tem-
perature of 78.5 degrees F., an increase
of 28.5 degrees. This is much too high.
More elaborate methods of preserv-
ing milk during shipment by refrigera-
tion are discussed in a professional
bulletin just issued by the United
States department of agriculture,
which deals in a technical way with
many types of refrigerating apparatus.
The bulletin discusses fylly the influ-
ence of time and temperature on bac-
teria in milk. It also contains elab-
orate diagrams illustrating the differ-
