HEB CHILD HELP
School Children Are Enlisted to
Save the Birds.
AUDUBON SOCIETY.S APPEAL
To Organize Every Body of Pupils
Into a General Movement for Hoot
ing, Feeding and Protecting Wild
' ' Birds That Save Country's Crops.
NEW YORK, Feb. 19. On the
eighteen million schools children in
this country final hope of averting
the extinction of the valuable species
of insectiverous birds in America has
been rested to-day. What the fed
eral government, the state legisla
tures and even the granges, women's
clubs or national commercial organ
izations have failed to accomplish
completely, the National Association
of Audubon Societies have announced
will be given to the children of the
land to bring about To organize
every body of pupils, form the largest
public schools in this city to the most
remote district school n the Pacific
Coast, into a general movement for
housing, feeding and protecting the
wild birds that save the country's
crops is the object of the Audubon
workers to-day.
General headquarters for this new
campaign of the children are being
established in the offices of the Na
tional Association of Audobon Soci
eties at 141 Broadway to-day. Al
ready the organization is in touch
with thousands' of teachers and girls'
and boys' clubs all over the country,
to which it has regularly sent litera
ture on bird guarding and care.
With these as a nucleus, the children
.are to push the fight out into every
section of the locality, till the mem
bers of each school in every neigh
borhood are enlisted in the work of
building bird houses and restaurants
, to sustain the sadly thinned ranks of
the feathered army of insect destroy
ers. Special ammunition in the form
of printed directions and suggestions
for making bird shelters and lunch
counters is being prepared for every
boy and girl who will write and ask
for it
Old kettles, boxes or milk, tomato
and kerosene cans are being used by
the children as emergency bird shel
ters. Elaborate houses, rustic imita
tions of hollow limbs and neatly furn
ished apartments are also being plan
ned. All must be made cat-proof and
should face to the south or west if
possible. Like any human married
coupler the feathered pair who are
seeking quarters for rearing their
family in the spring are quite particu
lar in their tastes. If they find no
promising spot for a home in any lo
. cality, they will pass on and leave its
fields and gardens at the mercy of
destructive insects. The children are
urged to the immediate building of
houses for this season's bird families,
because seasoned and weather-beaten
structures most quickly tempt the
birds when spring moving day comes.
' The march of civilization has rob
bed millions of useful, as well as
sightly and tuneful, birds of their old
time facilities for home making;
ornithologists here declare today.
Sheltering tree trunks are being laid
low every year over hundreds of
acres. The old-fashioned structures,
where birds might flock under open
eaves, are being replaced by modern
droofs that shut out bird life. Whole
races, like the Chimney Swifts, are be
fog deprived of their shelter in the
big, old-style chimneys. Such condi
tions combined with lax laws, for
spring shooting and pot-hunting, will
soon drive the valuable insect-eaters
to extinction, it is agreed. It will be
the children's work to house the
evicted birds at the time when they
not only rear their young but eat
most copiously of the insect crop
destroyers. "The children are now the great
factor in this great economic move
ment," said William Dutcher, presi
dent of the National Association of
Audubon Societies today. "Not only
their patriotism but the self-interest
of every one of their parents is the
motive for preventing the extinction
of the beautiful and highly valuable
birds of this country. We are call
ing on Congress, the legislatures of
the entire country and on every adult
body to help; but I believe the work
of the school children of the land will
accomplish more than all the other
methods combined. It is a fine chance
for every boy and girl to do some
thing for his village, state and the
country at large and I know they will
not neglect to do their part 'Save
the birds' is the motto and rallying
cry of the school children of
America."
DONT EXPERIMENT.
You Will Make no Mistake if You
Follow This Astoria Citizen's
Advice.
Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have" pain in the back, uri
nary disorders, dizziness and nerv
ousness, it's time to act and no time
to experiment These are all symp
toms of kidney trouble, and you
should seek a remedy which is
known to cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy
lo use. No need to experiment It
has cured many stubborn cases in
Astoria. Follow the advice of an
Astoria citizen and be cured yourself.
Wm. Joyce, 412 Duane street, As
toria, Oregon, says: "At the time I
began using Doan's Kidney Pills, I
was enduring a great deal of suffering
from my kidneys. The secretions
from these organs were so profuse
as to give me a great deal of annoy
ance. As a result of not getting myj
proper rest at night, I would rise in
the morning feeling more tired and
weak than when I went to bed and
during the day felt languid. The
slightest exertion caused severe pains

receive any relief. I then resorted to
other remedies but still the results
were unsatisfactory. At last my at
tention was drawn to Doan's Kidney
Pills. I decided to give them a trial
and procured i box at Chas. Rogers
and Son drug store. They helped me
so much, that I procured a further
supply, used thera and was entirely
cured. I am now in unusually good
health and do not hesitate to attri
bute same to the use of Doan's Kid
ney Pills."

COMMITTEE
CARTER HANDICAP.
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-When the
entries for the Carter handicap, the
first big event of the Spring Racing
season, closed yesterday, it was found
that the name of Roseben, the cham
pion sprinter og America, was miss
ing. Trainer Frank Weir, it was
learned, had persuaded Roseben's
owner, Davis Johnson, not to enter
the big weight carrier in the early
events. "Roseben is a hard horse to
get in perfect trim for early events,"
said Weir, when asked why the sprint
er was not entered. We raced him
early several seasons, much to his in
jury. He will hardly start before the
Belmont Park meeting."
It is stated that the blood poison
ing from which the animal suffered
last fall had no influence upon the,
decision not to enter him for the
Carter or other early handicaps, as
he has fully recovered.
Brick and Terra Cotta Tests to
be Made.
WILL BUILD KILN AT ONCE
Chamber of Commerce Appropriate
a Sum Not to Exceed 1200.00 For
the Tests. Sample of all Kindt of
Clay Wanted.
The special meeting of the Cham
ber of Commerce of which due notice
appeared in these columns was held
last evening to hear the report of the
committee on manufacturing and in
dustries with regard to the brick and
terra cotta proposition and their re
port is as follows:
"We think that a test of all our
clays can be made here in our own
vicinity, the total expense of which
would not exceed $300 and probably
not be more than $120.
"Mr. Lew Ogan will make these
tests, giving his services free of
charge, and we believe that this
amount of money cannot be better
expended, and we would have on
hand the best products that can be
made in the way of pressed and faced
brick, terra cotta, sewer pipe, etc.,
which would bear the name of As
toria and could be left in the Cham
ber of Commerce as a living adver
tisement of what our clays will pro
duce, "These tests, of course, would in
clude all of the clays in this vicinity,
also Caoline about which so much
has been said within the past few
months.
"We consider an expenditure of
$125 to $200 a very cheap means of
finding out whether or not our clay
it would be settled once nad for all if
it would be settled once and for all
we can make good brick, terra cotta,
etc. Respectfully submitted,
"E G. PALM BERG,
"R. E. CARRUTHERS,
"Committee.
The report was accepted and a
motion was made to appropriate a
sum of money not to exceed $200 for
practical experimental work was sec
onded and unanimously carried.
There was considerable interest and
discussion in the matter and it was
finally arranged that the details of
locating the kiln and other matters be
left to the manufacturing committee.
Mr. Carruthers offered a place to
build the kiln and it is very likely
that his offer will be accepted.
The matter of having some? one to
watch the operations of Mr. Ogan oc
casioned considerable talk and it was
the earnest wish of Mr. Ogan that
some "one be appointed to watch his
tests. It is understood that Mr. G.
Wingate had volunteered his services
as far as his business would permit,
and it was finally disposed of by re
ferring the matter to the manufactur
ing committee with full power to act
in the premises.
Mr. Ogan was asked a number of
questions and replied to them in an
understandable way and the case with
which he disposed of the questions
showed that he knew what he was
talking about in a manner that con
vinced his hearers that bricks of
regular size will be made. Not one
brick but 50 or 100. He explained the
different kinds of bricks also their
organic qualifies and uses from the
mud brick to the one that is good
enough to put into the finest struc
tures. His demonstrations will be
with brick such as architects demand
and also the vitrified brick suitable for
paving purposes.
It may be of interest to say of the
brick industry that one factory in
St Louis turns out one million brick
in eveyr 24 hours, so that if Clatsop
clay will make good brick we have
right in our own door yard an indus
try that cannot be taken away from
us but will build up a commerce that
will tax the transportation companies
running out of the city.
PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS.
PAZO OINTMENT is guaranteed
to cure any case of Itching, Blind,
Bleeding or Protruding Piles st 6 to
14 days or money refunded. 50c.
STOLE FOR FRIEND.
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Jos. Cam
pion and his-18-year-old wife, the
latter with a baby in her arms and
another child clinging to her skirts
came into police court yesterday to
answer a charge of stealing. With
them was Mildred Dean, 19 years old,
housekeeper for Thomas Queenan,
who was the complainant against the
three. He said that articles had been
stolen from his house by the two
women, who had pawned them. Miss
Dean told the court that -She took the
articles and give them to Mrs. Cam
pion, with whom she had formerly
gone to school. She ssHd she did it
to keep the Campions from starving.
Campion will ill and out of work end
his family was suffering for food
when Miss Dean discovered them.
She had no money, but stole from
her employer's house to provide her
friend and the babies with food. Mrs.
Campion at first denied the story
absolutely, saying that they always
had plenty to eat, but when the po
lice officers told of several visits to
the house and of the little ones cry
ing for food, and with nothing to cat
in the house but a single onion, she
dropped down and admitted that the
family would have starved but for
Miss Dean's thefts. Queenan, on
hearing the story, immediately with
drew the charge and contributed to
the fund raised in the court room for
the family., Campion will have his
choice of jobs this morning from
spectators in the court room.
DR. HATCH.
Says Medicine is Unnecessary and
Will Allow Himself to be In
oculated to Prove it
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19,-Wil-
lard P. Hatch who is delivering a
series of free lectures on health,
throughout the state contending that
the use of medicine is unnecessary,
has announced that he will allow him
self to be inoculated with the germs
of any disease and will agree to work
such germs out of his system with
out the use of medicine. Mr. Hatch
says that pure blood is all that is
necessary to secure immunity from
disease and in his lectures tells the
public how by a proper understand
ing of natural laws perfect health
may be secured and maintained. He
says: .
"In the past 50 years the average
human life has lengthened 10 years.
I prophesy that by the expiration of
50 years, 30 years more will be added
to the average human life and with
in the same space of time there will
be a class of understanding people
who will live without disease and
without medicine, and who will be
able to die with as little pain as they
now go to sleep." ,
The Jumping Off Place.
"Consumption had me in its grasp;
and I had almost reached the jumping
off place when I was advised to try
Dr. King's New Discovery; and 1
want to say right now, it saved my
life. Improvement began with the
first bottleAand after taking one
dozen bottles was a well and happy
man again," says George Moore, of
Grimesland, N. C. As a remedy for
coughs and colds and healer of weak,
sore lungs and for preventing pneu
monia New Discovery is supreme
50c and $1.00 at Charles Rogers &
Son, druggists. Trial bottle free.
DANTE'S HUMOR.
It Is of the Wholly Uncontoioui Kind
' and Woefully Grim,
The humorous aide of Dnntc Is ana
lyzed lu the Westminster Kevlew by
George Trobrltlge, who la a great ad
mirer of the famous poet and who hn
In previous writings expressed bis ap
preciation of Dante as a nature poet
and as a novcllxt.
Although Dante's great poem Is u
"comedy," lu the neime of being n
drama working to a happy ending, we
do not look for ridiculous situations In
It, such as we umiully associate with
the Idea of comedy. Ridiculous situa
tions occur nevertheless, and there Is
no lack of humor even In the poet's de
scription of the sufferings of the lost.
Dante's humor, however, Is of the un
conscious kind, arlHlng from a total
lack of perception of the ludicrous. It
Is said that he was never seen to smile,
and we can quite believe It, since he
never forsakes sober seriousness In his
writings, and It Is his deadly earnest
ness that betrays him Into occasional
comicality.
The sinners In hell, the poet tells us.
are relegated to their proper quarters
on the judgment of Minos, who Indi
cates the particular circle to which the
culprit Is consigned by wrapping bis
tall so many times around his bestial
body. Fancy the trembling' sinner
waiting to count the colls that he may
know his full '
It Is a horrible punishment which Ih
asfllgneil to m guilty of simony, to
be burled bead downward In a circular
pit, with only the legs and feet pro
truding, while flickering flumes glide
over the soles of the latter, Inflicting
exquisite torture, yet our sense of hu
mor ls provoked by the description of
Dante standing over one of these boles
and holding a conversation with Its oc
cuptnt, "reversed, and, as a stake
driven in the soil," while numberless
legs wriggle in continual motion
around him. .
