Your magazine is one of my treasures. 

 I have received more inspiration and 

 help from it than from any other I 

 ever read. — Annie Halliday Adams, 

 Camden, New Jersey. 



The uncommon cold of the present 

 spring in this country has extended al- 

 so to Europe. Among other effects, 

 has been the death from starvation of 

 great numbers of starlings, thrushes, 

 gulls, and especially Lapwings. 



As a by-product of the important 

 studies on human nutrition now be- 

 ing carried on at the Connecticut Agri- 

 cultural Experiment Station, it appears 

 that rats which are stunted during 

 their growth by insufficient food do 

 actually, as a result, live longer than 

 those that are normally developed, and 

 produce young later in life. The 

 young, moreover, though born after 

 normal rats cease to breed, were as 

 vigorous and healthy as others. 



Please remember this educational uplifting work in making your will.
