PROTECTING OCR BIRDS. |n adopting a plan to develop a cystem for state acquisition of forest land for reforestation, the Department of Conservation proposes to inaugurate on an extensive scale the building of sanctuaries and nesting places for our insectivorous birds, valuable allies of man in all lines of agriculture and horticultural pursuit. The department officials will be assisted in this campaign by members of the state Audubon Society. Plans outlined at a recent meeting of the Conservation Commission and ■which go into effect early this spring, provide for building by the department of suitable nesting places for native birds in park reservations now owned and which soon may be acquired by the State. Sanctuaries peculiarly adapted to the various species which will be encouraged to multiply, will be constructed and established, providing as near a , native environment for birds as possible. By the state encouraging an increase in the bird life, it is expected that farmers and fruit growers generally over Indiana will learn of the importance of insectivorous birds to cereal and fruit crop production, and in the end Hoosiers universally will soon be employed in a concerted effort to combat voracious insect pests through this medium. Many insects are remarkably destructive because of the enormous amount of food which they must consume to grow rapidly to maturity. Many caterpillars daily eat twice their weight in leaves. When we realize the losses that insects are capable of inflicting on the crops of the state, we see at once that birds, in their capacity of insect desctroy-:

ers. continually operate to prevent the destruction of some of our most important industries. If birds are present in sufficient numbers, they will prevent excessive increase of any kind of a pest which they will I eat. Provided by mankind with sanctuaries to replace native ones destroyed through civilization’s progress. our insectivorous birds again will multiply. “SAVE MONEY ON MEAT” WEEK. The Department of Justice has announced that the first “Save Money on Meat” Week, during which consumers will be urged to turn away from high-priced cuts of beef, pork, and lamb to those equally nutritious but costing much lees, will be held from March 22 to March 27 throughout each of the following states: Illinois. lowa. Wisconsin, Indiana. Ohio. Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York. The Fair Price Commissioners of those states have been holding co»ferences with the retail meat dealers and with scores of different packing firms in that territory. It is expected that retailers will stock the less costly cuts in adequate quantities to fill the demand, and that these meats will be sold, under the direction of the Fair Price Commissioner and with the co-operation of all factors concerned, at low prices. Only meat of unquestionable quality will be permitted to be sold. Undoubtedly many thousands of consumers who have been buying porterhouse and sirloin steaks at prices ranging up towards 75 cents a pound will, for the first time, buy nice juicy round J steaks at perhaps half the price, and I brisket, chuck and other nutritious cuts at even lower figures. Governor Edwards’ growing popularity as a candidate for the great office of president shows a lot of shallow thinking in the country. The .fact that he is “wet” is all that seems necessary o recommend him to the favorable consideration of a large class of voters. Detroit’s water board estimates that city will need five billion additional gallons this year. The Detroiters must have been hard drinkers if prohibition makes all that difference. If the government keeps on with its red tape measures it will soon be necessary for every little peanut stand to hire a regular book-keeper and accountant to keep up with the tax laws. Governor Coolidge says he is not a candidate for president, thereby justifying the praise of his common sense won by his conduct as governor, of Massachusetts.

The presidential candidate who pledges himself to do away with the present system of income tax return blank, will carry the country by storm. There does not seem to be enough common sense in the Senate to realize that the way to compromise is to compromise. An optimist is a salaried man who plans a vacation trip on the strength of l’al mer’s prediction of lower prices. One wonders what the strikers win one-half so precious as the things they lose.

My Dear Friend: Just was thinking about you this morning and thought I would write you about our trip. We came overland to Lutz, Florida, starting from Plymouth November 18. We were eleven days on the road and had good weather and a fine trip and have met many most excellent people.

a Since reaching the definite conx elusion that as yet no cure for infiuw enza has beeen found, health author- ■ jities are practically unanimous in their opinion that PREVENTION is S the one best means for stamping out ft the dreaded disease. ft As to the best means of insuring ft effective prevention the answer is to a be found in Surgeon General Blue's X recent statement in which he says, “It is important that the body be • kept, strong and able to fight off H disease germs." I Public statements from scores o»f ft people have proven that there is no ft j better agency for providing body ■ (strength and vitality to withstand ft attacks of disease than Trutona. ft Many will remember remarkable X work done by Trutona last year x when, in innumerable cases serious f after-effects of influenza were quick- ■ ly overcome by the perfect tonic. In ■ only a slightly lesser measure has ft Trutona been declared to have pre- • !vented attacks of the malady. ONE OF THE MX NY CASES ft Mrs. Josephine Sears, 2803 Port-
