The birds feed on the pests which kill the grass, especially those which eat tho roots. Dr.

Korbiish gives the. birds a practically complete, alibi as enemies of the farmer. He backs his statements by so many specific. instances In which birds had saved crops that those who heed his words will protect these feathered friends. Pro tection of the birds, ha insisted, is not merely a matter of sentiment, but has a fundamental economic basis.

Robins After Worms, Not Cabbage. A farmer who thought the robins wero pulling up his young cabbages learned from a student of bird-life that the birds were pulling- no onlv those plants which were dead; and this was to get at the wiro worms at the root, which nan caused Hm plain. to die, and which would destroy other cabbages it left alone. In another case a group of farmers thought tho meadow larks were destroying their crops. An ornithologist persuaded ono I armor in spa re i no un its on ins piuoc.

For Instance, tho average temperature of our house Is about 78 degrees F. It is, in fact, often 80. We have steam heat and the air is very dry. The other day it got so very hot that I opened a window to let some fresh air in. Dad promptly evacuated the front line trenches and retreated to the support trenches.

'What's the matter, I inquired. "Too cold for me." he said. The thermometer even then registered 78 degrees, and it an accurate thermometer.

Nurses Cannot Diagnose Adenoids. The nurse who visits our school sent word to us that our boy, aged has adenoids and should ho operated on. Bo far as we are aware the boy has always been perfectly well, and our doctor sees no reason why he should be operated on. Do you believe any harm can come by avoiding the operation L. M.

Answer The nurse, of course, was just suspicious. She could not diag nose adenoids. Adenoids can be diagnosed only by inserting a finger be-hind the soft palate and feeling the I adenoidi or by means of tho throat mirror, mirror, in which an Image of the I adenoids may be seen. These methods arc beyond the skill of a nurse Your doctor's advice is the only advice you should consider.
