Italy where he served with the
91st division. The citation stated
that he “demonstrated qualities
of leadership and efficiency that
marked his service as definitely
superior. Throughout the long and
bitter winter, he was responsible

WASHINGTON"—Fossidils. booby
traps and miscellaneous artifices to
the contrary, one of the country's
foremost bird experts says the only
sure way to get rid of pigeon pests
is a charge of birdshot.
Author of half a dozen books
on birds, Frederick C. Lincoln of
the Interior Department's Fish and
"Wildlife Service makes his recom
mendation as several cities across
ihe country are reported in the
throes of ridding themselves of
flocks of pigeons which have tak
en up light housekeeping on pub
lic buildings.
In Spokane, Wash., the city hall
is being redecorated, and the city
fathers want to keep it clean. So a
man has been hired to build a
high-pitched whistle, inaudible to
human ears, which he guarantees
will send the pigeons scurrying.
In Boston, where pigeons have
taken over the famed Common,
the public works commissioner is
rlso proposing to use such a
whistle; he calls it a fossidil,
* * * *
Firdman Lincoln says the fos
sicil was new to him but that
it is true that pigeons, as well as
ether birds, can hear better than
humans. They see much better,
too.
• But humans are up on pigeons
by one whole sense,” Lincoln re
assures us. “Birds can’t smell.”
Since some of the city hall pi
geons in Philadelphia were found
to be carriers of a rare pneu
monia-like disease known as orni
thosis, health officials in a number
of localities have been trying to
trap their, pigeons to see If they
oro inf PftpH
Efforts of Baltimore officials to
obtain samples of the pigeon pop
ulation have so far been frustrated
by the wary birds. At present un
set traps are being left about until
pigeons get used to them. Then,
so the officials hope, they will be
able to catch an over-confident
bird.
Scarecrows, flashing and rotating
lights, firecrackers and Roman
candles are old stuff to Lincoln.
All they do, he says, is to make
the birds move to another part of
town. The shotgun, he says, is the
answer in places where it can be
used safely.
But birds that some people con
sider nuisances are usually liked
by somebody. Efforts to deal dras
tically with the pesky pigeon
problem always result in irate
letters to newspapers and public
officials.
The pigeon, says Lincoln, still
has plenty of friends.

And Stop Doting Your Stomach
With Soda and Alkalizers
Don’t expect to get real relief from
headache, sour stomach, gas and bad
breath by taking soda and other alka
lizers if tbs true cause of your trouble ia
constipation.
In this case, your real trouble is not in
the stomacli at all. But in the intestinal
tract where 80% of your food is digested.
And where it gets blocked when it fails
to digest properly.
Whet you want for real relief is not
soda or an 'alkalizer—but something to
“unblock” your intestinal tract. Some
thing to clean it out thoroughly—help
Nature get back on her feet.
Get Carter’s Pills right now. Take
them as directed. They gently and thor
oughly “unblock” your digestive tract.
This permits your food to move along
normally. Nature's own digestive juices
can then reach it. You get genuine relief
that makes you feel really good again.
Get Carter's Pills at any drugstore—

real relief from indigestion.
