Banding Reveals Habits. Promotion of bird-banding has re- vealed many upknown and unsuspected facts of bird migrations and habits. Tell-tale bands_have shown the male wren to be an inconsistent fellow who ought to be paying heavy worm alimony and have also supplied facts on which practical plans for the conservation of bird life can be made. “At present nearly 1,200 banding sta- tions are in operation in all parts of the country,” writes E. W. Nelson, for- merly head of the Bureau of Biological Survey, in the National Geographic Magazine. “The oeprators send the data regard- ing each individual bird banded to the bureau, which has established an indexed card file of such records. Wide- spread interest is expressed in reports of the capture of banded birds. of which 13,794, representing about 200 species, have been retaken, either alive or dead.” —_—e Arthur Duerr, rural mail carrier of McGregor, JTowa, has driven his route Wm(e);]and Summer for 16 years with- An old-fashioned pie crust made in four minutes —you can do it by using FLAKO PIE CRUST ‘ Easy to make Add water and bake Buy FLAKO at your grocer’s a Shampoo with Cuticura ?

Edvard Ehlers says “I invariably prescribe yeast” "I t is many years since my teacher and friend, Dr. L. Brocq of Paris, taught me to use fresh yeast for staphylococcic infections of the skin. Since then I have in- variably prescribed yeast in all cases of boils, as well as in rebellious cases of acne. The effect of yeast upon boils is surprising and incontestable. It is often slightly laxative.” Gpditas ™ HE most romantic figure in Dan- ish medicine—Dr. Edvard Ehlers of Copenhagen. Hazardous medical research in the tropics has brought him decorations from half the govern- ments of Europe. Hospitals for children born sick into the world, established by him through-_ out Denmark, have cut the infant death raté from one especially dread disease to one sixth its former grim total. Holder of degrees from the Uni- versities of Paris, Strassburg and Coperihagen, what Dr. Ehlers says of the health properties of yeast is drawn from years of experience as a skin specialist of world-wide reputation. Many doctors now agree that un- sightly skin eruptions are due to clog- ging of the intestines. In a recent survey throughout the United States, half the doctors report- ing said they prescribed fresh yeast. Fleischmann’s Yeast is fresh. Unlike dried or “killed” yeast it contains millions of living, active yeast plants. As these pass through your intestines daily they combat harmful poisons, purify the whole system.
