Saving the Birds. The fight made by, the Audubon Societies of the country to save the American sdng bird from destruction deserve the support of all citizens. During the summer months, when boys are free from restraints Of school and spend many hours in the woods and along the creeks, it is natural
that they should make war on the birds. They do it not because of lust of blood, but because of sheer hilarity and desire to do something. A word from their parents on the value of birds
would easily stop this nuisance.
Garrett P. Serviss has sounded the call for
protection of birds in an article that deserves
wide circulation. He says:
"Three or four of the finest of the American singers belong to the wonderful thrush family, which comprises most of the leading musicians
of the bird world. Unfortunately they are re
earded bv certain persons as "stood eating," and
that is made an excuse for their slaughter. They
Include the W6dd thrush, the brown thrush or,
more properly, brown thrasher: the hermit
thrush and the very veery or tawny thrush.
"The wood thrush is a marvel. Neither the nightingale nor the mockingbird can surpass it
in the richness, beauty and spiritual melody of
its song. It has but one possible superior, the hermit thrush, and but one equally gifted rival,
the veery. It is about as large as a robin red
breast, and it is sometimes called the wood robin. Its strongly spotted vest, however, distinguishes
it at once from a robin. "The splendor of its song surpasses descrip tion. It is the Jenny Lind of birds. George Wil liam Curtis said of Jenny Lind: 'Romantic sing
ing, picturesque, mournful, weird, could go no further.' E. H. Forbush has said of the wood thrush: 'Its tones seems like a vocal expression
of the mystery of the universe, clothed in a melody so pure and ethereal that the soul, still bound
to its earthly tenement, can neither imitate nor
describe it.'
"When I was a boy a wood thrush sang at sundown and during the twilight in a grove of trees across a field from my father's house, and
to wait for and listen to the marvelous song of
that bird as the Summer night approached was one of the most delightful experiences that I can
remember. It awoke a feeling of wonder. It was
so unearthly sweet, clear, ringing and melodious
that it awed me as if I had heard an angel."
.. Inventors arid the Navy' ; The invitation extended to the; leading inven
tors of the United States to assist the navy with
their ability, on its face looks as if it were a good move to rehabilitate that branch of the de
fenses of the United States. But there is anoth
er side to the question.
That Secretary Daniels, after ignoring the recommendations of the boards of experts that
really know what the navy needs, should go out
to the laity, and surround himself with inventors is a tacit admission that all is not well with his department. During the last session of the Congress, Representative! Gardner made repeated efforts to have a probe of the unpreparedness of the navy. He charged that the submarines were defective, that the battleship and cruisers were Unfit to cope with a strong enemy and that the whole navy needed to be" revamped. Secretary Daniels categorically denied the accusations and he was backed by the administration. Repeated challenges of Representative Gardner Were left unanswered. If Secretary Daniels must call in the inventive genius Of the United States to help him bolster up a Weak navy, he aiso ought to take some thousands of voters in the United States into his confidence and have them retire the congress
men who year in and year out vote against in
creases in the army and navy.
The present condition of the navy cannot be traced back to lack of efficient men in the navy, but to the lack of patriots in the Congress. The navy has capable officers and capable advisers, but all this is offset by a Congress which refuses
to vote appropriations for adequate strengthen ing of the naval branch.
Orville Wright, one of the inventors invited to suggest improvements,, in a statement issued the day following Secretary Daniels' announcement, emphatically emphasized the weakness of the national defenses when he pointed out that it would take two years to equip the United States with needed aircraft. This country, he said, needs 2,000 airships. Even if the United States would take over all the airship plants in the country, it would take six months to build the required number of machines, and then the lack of motors would delay their completion. Absence of trained men would also handicap this branch,' Mr. Wright claimed. The statement of Mr. Wright sustains the contention that the United States needs more equipment. The services of inventors are needed and a welcome addition, but what can they do, if Congress refuses to appropriate money for the purposes they suggest. Congress has sidetracked recommendations made by naval experts. It seems safe to conclude they will do the same with suggestions from lay members. Secretary Daniels has admitted that the navy needs rehabilitation something all true patriots have insisted on for years. Whether his plan will really bring about reforms remains to be seen.

How to Wage War On Typhoid Fever Sanitation Most Approved Method of Checking Disease Fatal to Thousands in United States, Explains Public Health Service.
Four hundred thousand persons incapacitated, and thirty thousand lives lost this is the heavy toll exacted in the United States each year by the scourge of typhoid fever. And typhoid fever Is a preventable disease. A recent bulletin of the United States Public Health service entitled "Typhoid Fever Its Causation and
nicipalities another factor the instruction and cooperation of the individual property owner enters Into the problem. Here every home must have its own method of sewage disposal, and in most cases its own water supply. The Public Health Service bulletin above referred to deals in a comprehensive way with the con-
Prevention," states that within the struction of wells and outhouses.
past ten years few of our communities having as many as two thousand persons have remained free from this
disease for any period of twelve consecutive months. In recent times the rate of its prevalence for the United States as a whole has been from two to five times as high as In some of the countries of Europe. In these European countries the typhoid rate was formerly higher than the present figures for the United States. Their great reductions in the ravages of the disease have been brought about by improvements in sanitary conditions. In many American cities there has occurred within the last twenty years a considerable reduction of typhoid fever. Due in a large part to improved sanitary conditions in the cities, the typhoid rate for some entire states has shown a material decrease. For the country as a whole, according to available figures, the rate has been reduced about 50 per cent in the past 40 years. But the present rate is the same as that which prevailed in some of the other advanced nations of the world 30 years ago. In other words the United States is a generation behind the times, in respect to the reduction of its typhoid rate. In rural communities and. small mu-
In recent years a specific method for
increasing Individual resistance to typhoid germs has been employed. This is known as antityphoid inoculation or "vaccination." This method 'has been used extensively in military organizations of the United States, and from the results obtained it appears that inoculated persons are upon equal exposure to typhoid infection, less than one-fourth as likely to develop the disease as those who have not been Inoculated and who have previously had the disease. The average duration of protection given by inoculation has not been determined, but is supposed to be about two years. It is pointed out, however, that the protection given by antityphoid inoculation is relative, notabsolute, and that such inocculation is not to be regarded as a substitute for sanitation.

Signal Prevents Crash
A rear light for automobiles that will illuminate the number plate and at the same time indicate whether the car is about to turn to right or left or to stop Is the Ingeniuos invention of Joseph C. Roeber, a vaudeville actor of New York. The device consists of a lantern attached to the rear of the car Immediately over the number plate. In the lantern is an electric lamp, which remains stationary whichever way the lantern be turned. Four sides of the lantern are fitted with colored lenses and it is moveable through a half circle from left to right and through a quarter circle up and down. When going straight ahead the lantern shows as a plain red light. When about to turn to the right the lantern revolves till it shows a square green light; when turning to the left it shows a yellow light. When about to stop the lantern turns up and shows a square red light. On each lens is a white letter of sufficient size to make it plainly visible in the day time. R for right, L for left, and S for stop, and the right and left positions are accentuated by a pointer. The lantern is moved by the chauffeur. On the side of the car is an elbow rest ending in a handle. From
tube to the lantern, and moving the handle to right or felt sets the lantern
accordingly. The back of the elbow rest is pivoted so that by drawing back his elbow the chauffeur moves it and its motion pulls another piano wire, also running through a tube, which turns the lantern to the stop
position.
The mechanism is of the simplest, and as the tubes in which the wires
are encased are only a minute fraction
of an inch larger in interior than the wires within them, and are filled with
lubricating oil. the wires can not
buckle, although they make several
turns between the chauffeur and the
lantern. And no matter what position
the lantern be in it always throws
red light upon the number plate. The control can also be installed upon the steering wheel or dashboard.

MACHINIST'S WIFE GIVES PRAISE TO FAMOUS TAIIUC
Says Master Medicine Gave. Her Appetite and Ambition. Statement after statement Is nr being made in regard to the merits of Teniae, the new medicine that Is accomplishing such remarkable results in and around Richmond. Mrs. George Ho'rney. residing at South I and Sixth streets, wife of the well known machinist, said: "I was never in favor of taking medicine, so when a friend recommended that I use Tanlac to correct my rundown, nervous ' condition, I was not easily persuaded. The fact that Tanlac is composed of roots, barks and other vegetable properties finally decided me. My appetite was very poor and I seldom felt like working, therefore, I welcomed anything that might improve my condition. "I have taken only half a bottle of Tanlac and the results it has produced have been most encouraging. It is surprising how my appetite has increased and I certainly feel like working now. I intend to continue taking this 'Master Medicine,' and know it will have the desired effect" All over America, wherever it Is sold, Tanlac is correcting conditions like that of Mrs. Homey. It has proved Itself most valuable In cases Of poor digestion, stomach, liver and kidney disorders, rheumatism, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, catarrh, and Is called by many the "Master Medicine." because it subdues most illness where others fail. The "Tanlac Man." who Is Introducing the premier preparation through Thistlethwaite's Drug Store at Sixth and Main, is meeting many substantial citizens dally and explaining the merits of Tanlas.
