f
Never before, perhaps, in the history of the drug trade has
the demand for a proprietary medicine ever approached the
wonderful record that is now being made by Tanlac, the cele
brated medicine which has been accomplishing such remark
able results throughout this country and Canada. As a matter
of fact, the marvelous success achieved by this medicine is not
only phenomenal, but unprecedented.
is
Tito first bottle of Tnnlnc to reach
the public was sold Just a little over
Mx years ngo. Its success was Imme
diate and people everywhere were
quick to recognize It as a medicine of
extraordinary merit. Since that time
there have been .sold throughout this
country and Canada something over
Twenty Million (U0,000,000) bottles, es
tablishing a record which has probably
never been equalled In the history of
the drug trade in America.
Fame Is International.
The instant and phenomenal success
which Tanlac won when It was first
introduced lias been extended to prac
tically every large city, small town,
village and hamlet In North America.
Its fame lias become International In
Its scope and England, Japan, Mexico,
Culm, Hawaii, Alaska, Porto ltlco and
many European countries arc clamor
ing for it.
Erom const to coast and from (3 rent
Lakes to the Gulf, Tanlac is known
and honored. Millions linve taken It
with the most gratifying and astonish
ing reMilts and have pronounced It
the greatest medicine of nil time.
Tens of thousands of men and wom

flicted with stomach, liver and kidney
disorders, some of them of long stand

IKDS now have a chance not only to
escape extinction nut also to increase
thanks (ft lln Federal MUfrntorv

for Its enforcement. The Importance
of this fact, aside from all senti
ment In regard to the fenthored
songsI'Ms, Is that without the bird
we should soon be eaten tip hy '"
sect pests. Of course, the more wo
know about the migratory birds und
Ihelr travels, the better wo can trent them. There
lore, blrd-bandlng serves n useful purpose.
The United States Department of Agriculture
has Just published department circular 170, 'In
Htriictlons for Illrd-lhindlng." by Frederick C. Uw
coin, assistant biologist or the bureau of biologi
cal survey. TUIh circular says, by way of Intro
duction, that bird-tmnding In America dates from
the early years of tliu Nineteenth century, when
'Audubon placed silver threads around the legs
of a brood of phoobes, und wus ruvvurded the fol
lowing season by having two of his birds return
to nest In the .same vicinity.
In Europe blrd-bnntllng was attempted as early
as 1710, hut It was not until 18W) that It was tin
dertuken systematically, Hetween that year und
,1014 about 120 different organizations took up the
work, and their activities have developed much
valuable Information.
In the United States nctlve experimental work
was begun In 11)01, and between that year and
11)00 several local attempts at blrd-bandlng wero
either planned or pronccutod. One of these, by
the New Haven (Conn.) Illrd club, was reported
to the annual meeting of the American Ornltholo
KlstH' union In 1001), with the result that the Amer
ican IHriMlundlng association wus organized In
New York City on December 8, of that your. This
association continued to advance the work (dur
'log the last few years under the auspices of the
.I.lumienn Society of New York) until It outgrow
the resources available. "
Hecause of the valuable Information to he se
cured relative (o the movements and life histories
of our migratory birds, especially the game and
'insectivorous species, the work of the association
vmn taken over by tho biological survey In 1020.
M Is tho plan of the survey to advance this method
of research nlong two principal lines: Elrst, by
tho banding of tledgllngs ,as formerly practiced;
nil second, by the systematic trapping and build
ing of adults.
Through hlrd-lmndlng operations, us carried on
.In Hurono and America, large numbers of migra
tory birds bavo been banded, and data of consld
lernhle Importance obtained during the last '-0
bears. In the United States these activities Imvo
Waived added Impetus within the last year or
'two, through the evolution of the method of sys
'lemstlc trapping. IMrda have been marked In va-
ious ways, but the most satisfactory Is by means
of a numbered aluminum band or rltu, attached
to the tarsus, or bare portion of the leg. Tho ap
plication of a statu or dye to the lllght or tall
feathers, the attaching of memoranda written on
parchment, and various other devices have been
tried In the past, but are not satisfactory for any
(general Investigation.
Since It Is the. returns from birds banded that
Ifurulsh the data desired in this brunch of re
Hcurch, It Is of prime Importance "that tho methods
employed be Improved and that the percentage
'of birds under observat'":i bo Increased. Nothing
lias been found more satisfactory to tho Wcom
idlshment of this than systciulml trapping. As

tad. Application for such permit should be ad
tfrcKM'd to tho bureau of biological survty, United
Slates Department of Agriculture, Washington,
D. C.
With the establishment of a well-connected chain
of trapping stations throughout tho United States
and Canada, regular "returns" are confidently ex
pected through reports of retrapplng birds that
were banded at tho original and other stations.
Data thus afforded are nlready indicating tho ex
act lino of migration of Individual birds, tho speed
of frnvolnml Hniumornhle Items of Interest, many
of which have a direct hearing upon tho study of
Hfo histories. A lively Interest attaches to the
work In that each operator of n station Is In a
continual state of anticipation through the knowl
edge that birds handed at other stations mny at
any time be registered at his own traps.
Tho bunds Issued by tho biological survey are of
two types, a split-ring band (sizes 1 to 0, Inclusive)
for nil small birds, Including those of the size of
crows, small owls, and herons; and n ilut-strip
band thnt Is adjustable for all larger birds. For
general land bird trapping, the government spar,
row trap has been found the most satisfactory.
Other traps (there are several that mny bo pur
chased In tho open market) may also give satis
faction, but there Is a distinct advantage In hav
ing n stnndnrd typo that birds may come to rec
ognize as n source of food, and for, this reason It
Is recommended that this trap he used.
The circular contains specifications sutlldlent to
enable anyone with moderate skill In the use of
tools (tin snips, pliers, file, and hammer) to con
struct tho "government" sparrow trap In a few
hours and nt n nominal cost.
Problems that "can bo solved hy bird banding In
clude these:
I low fast do tho Individuals of nny species trav
el on their periodic migrations; that Is, how many
miles per day will any one bird average during
these Journeys and what Is the total time con
sumed In a trip?
Does any one flock continue In the van or is the
advance inndo by successive flocks passing one over
the other In alternate periods of rest and flight?
Do Individuals of any species always follow the
same route and Is It Identical for both spring und
fall flights?
Do migrating birds make the same stop-overs
every year to feed?
How long do birds remain In one locality during
tho migration, tho breeding, or the winter seasons?
What Is the relation between the breeding and
the wintering grounds of Individuals; that Is, do
those birds that breed farthost north winter far
thest south, thus lumping over those thnt occupy
tho Intermediate zone, or do they merely replace
the latter Individuals as t, inter residents?
Do birds adopt the same nesting nrca, nest site,
and winter quarters during successive sensons?
For how many broods will one pair reninln
matad, and which bird, If not both, Is attracted
next year to the old nesting site?
To what extent do males of a species assist In
Incubation and brooding?
How far from their nests do birds forngo for
food, and after the young havo left the nest, will
the parent birds bring them to tho feeding and
trapping station?
To what region do tho birds go, particularly
tho young, that do not return to the vicinity of
their original nests?
How long do birds live?
For the solution of these and related problems,
It is important that the traps always be set on the
original site, for birds already have returned to
the same traps through four or live consecutive
sensons. Many "returns" will, In the course of
time, nffortl answers to the Important problems
bore presented.
In bundling small birds tho utmost enr must
bo exercised. It Is of vital Importance that thoy
.bo so handled that thoy may he liberated in per
fect condition. Almost without exception they are
highly nervous, and u quick pressure by thq op
erator following some spasmodic tqsuggle of tho
bird may kill It Instantly or fco seriously Injure It
as bo make Its destructloi uecesary. Further-
more, It must be remembered that If the data to be
secured from the banding of birds arc to be of
value, the carriers must be strong and healthy nnd
not handicapped In any wry. Under no conditions
may their movements be considered as average.
To remove n bird from the gathering cage for
, bunding, reach Into the cage (blocking the open
ing around tho arm with the other hand) nnd
work the bird Into a corner. It will almost surely
bo facing nwuy from the operator. Grasp It In
such manner ns to pinion Its neck between the
thumb nnd Index finger, nnd the wing tips, tall,
and feet by the llttlo linger closed against the palm.
In this position the bird mny be held quietly, with
out using undue force. Strangely enough, secur
ing the bird's bend or neck will almost Invnrlubly
cause It to cense struggling.
If the bird Is already .bunded and only n simple
examination Is necessary, this position need not
bo changed, ns with the fingers of tho free hand
the bund may bo rendily turned and tho number
read. Or, tho bird mny be allowed to' percli on
the little linger, the neck secured between two
fingers, ns before.
To plnce In position for banding, grasp the bird's
head lightly but securely with tho thumb and the
Index and second fingers of the other hand; re
lease all other hold and by quickly reversing the
position of tho bird, drnw it through the free hand
with Its back against the pnlm nnd close the llttlo
llngep over the neck, nnd the other fingers around
tho body. This position is exactly the reverse of
the original one, In thnt the bird's feet, wings, nnd
tall nro now secured by the second linger, where
formerly this was accomplished by the little linger
against tho palm. The thumb and index fingers
are now freo to secure and hold the tarsus while
attaching tho band.
For larger nnd more powerful birds this method
will not answer, of course, but securing the bird's
head will In nlmost every enso prove the key to
the situation. With ducks and other birds of sim
ilar size, this Is best accomplished hy resting tho
bird on tho forenrin and hand, held horizontally
across tho body of tho operator, tho head and neck
passing to the rear under the upper nrm, which
secures them. This leaves both hands freo to hold
tho feet nnd wing tips nnd nttach the band.
Always select tho smnllcst-slzed band that will
close around tho tarsus (he, bnro portion of tho
foot or leg Immediately above tho toes) without
fitting so tightly us to bind or chafe. The band
should move freely up and down and turn lightly
and smoothly, hut It should not lit loosely like a
bracelet. A pair of smnll, pointed pliers, such as
opticians use, are practically Indispensable for this
work.
Do not attempt to band birds recently hutched
or but n few days old; wnlt until they are fully
Hedged young birds and arc about ready to leave
the nest. The legs of most fully fledged young
birds ato larger and more fleshy thnn those of the
adults, so that no allowance for growth need be
made. Water birds are an exception to this rule.
Adjustable flat-strip bunds, having considerable
thickness nnd equipped with a special looking de
vice, require rather more skill to attach. The
pointed pliers, before mentioned, are absolutely
necessary and Inuddltlon n pulr of stout scissors
or a pair of diagonal wire cutters will be needed
to trim olt excess length.
The band may llrst bo roughly shaped around a
linger ami then opened sufllclently to ndmlt the
bird's leg. It Is now pressed together and Its di
ameter reduced to tho point where It tits smoothly.
Tho second pair of nibs from tho lock end are next
bent over und pinched tight with the pliers. The
strip Is now bent buck, tho bend pinched together
us closo ns possible, and locked with the tlrst pair
of locking nibs. The excess length of tne band Is
taen trimmed off and the end pressed down smooth
ly with the pliers.
See that the number Is on tho outside. Attach
ing these hands requires care and patience, for the
stiffness of the metal Is sutllcieut to break n bird's
leg If not properly handled put all pressure on
the hand and not on tho leg nnd there will be no
trouble.
Writo down the band number at once; do not
trust to memory. A hand wrongly rend may total
ly disqualify what otherwise would bo a most val
uable set of data. Each collaborator should keep
a permanent record of his operations.

Every day the postmasters In the

of complaint. Not unnaturally among
so large a number there are many of
a frivolous nature. For example, one

livered her letters wns engaged to
woman twice Ids own ago, and re
quested that he should be asked to
break off the engagement or lie dismissed.
