DEER LAW TO CHANGE, PROBABLY.
Next Legislature Will be Asked to Change
Beason to Ran from December 1 to 15,
** Deer hunters and many men inter-
ested in hunting throughout Pennsyl-
vania will ask the next legislature to
change the deer hunting season and I
sincerely trust that a change of the
season to make it run from December
1to 156 will be made’ declared Dr.
Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the state
game commissicn. ‘The season
just closed has been very success.
ful, but there have been people killed
and the change in the law should be
made on humanitarian grounds, it
none other,
‘* After December 1 the leaves are all
off the trees and the bird hunters have
finished up their hunting,” he con-
tinued. * With the leaves off there is
less danger of people being killed snd
the number of accidents will be great-
ly reduced. Deer can be better track-
ed and ks snow comes early in Decem-
ber in some quarters it will be better
for hunting. I think that when we
get the figures compiled and show the
number of people killed or wounded
by mistake that force of these argu-
ments will be recognizad.”
Dr. Kalbfus says that the deer sea-
son has been very successful and that
the number of bucks killed will be
large, although he says that shooting
ofdoes went on. The bodies were
found and efforts to arrest the persons
responsible will be made,
Every game warden, the paid men
and the men who act as wardens
through love of sport and game pres-
ervation, will be asked to make a re-
port of the number of deer, pheasants
and quail killed.
The game official ia of the opinion
that the shooting of wild turkeys will
be legalized next year, There has
been a closed season on turkeys for two

Democrats Plan for All-Year Work.
Democratic State Chairman Morris
has planned for all-year work—plan-
ned to keep the state organization
alive every day in the year, and not
only for a bri f time before elections.
By this plan the organization will be
better fitted to combat during the 1916
campaign not only the foe of opposi-
tion parties but the discredited ele-
ment in its own party that at the last
election voted direct for Penrose und
rum.
Chairman Morris has opened offices
of the Btate Committee at 147 South
Broad Street, Philadelphia, Busi-
ness methods will be used, and the
same vigorous personal enthusiasm
on the part of McCormick, Palmer
and the others that marked their
work from the day trey smashed the

Pennsylvania who could pot find time

About fifty per cent of them have

Prof. T. I. Mairs, who has charge of

A Cheap Substitute for Gasoline,
It is claimed that a substitute for
gasoline as a fuel for motor cars has
been discovered. It is also asserted
that this substitute is easy to make
and costs only about two cents a gal-
lon. Bince the principal ingredient in
the manufacturing process is said to be
rain water, the cheapness is evident.
Rain water, a secret chemical and a
still are the requisites demanded, se-
cording to the story that comes out of
the west,
If this invention Is not of the Keely
motor sort, and if somebody is not
spreading fairy tales, inroads in the
oil trust dividends and much happi-
ness on the part of automobilists are
about due, It is stated that a test of
the foel has been made at Indianap-
olis, and that the eflect is apparently
the same as if gasoline had been used,
It is to be demonstrated at the New
York Automobile Bhow, it is said.
According to the statement, the in.
ventors expect to make their money
by selling stills so that the users of
motor fuel can make * zoline, '’ as it is
called, for themselves. It is to be
hoped that this does not turn out like
the process for extracting gold from
sea waler,

ing to know of some new feature to
lessen the work and labor of these
“butcherings’”. What tastes and
eats better than a yard, more or less,
of good smoked country sausage, yet
everyone knows how much disagiee-
able work it took to prepare the cas-
ing. Butit will not be long before
everybody will be buying and using
sausage casing made from wood pulp,
thus doing away with the washing
and cleaning of the intestines as st
prégent. The wood sausage casing is
one of the newest uses to be found for
wood pulp and it is already being used
commercially by several of the large
packing houses in this country and
Canada,
This sausage casing is made of the
best quality bleached sulphide wood
pulp snd is more sanitary and more
serviceable than the old intestinal cas-
ing. Details of its manufacture can.
not be given because these are covered
by patents. The pulp however, after
several processes, is made into thin
walled tubes of various diameters,
The length of these tubes depends up-
on the gkill of the operator of the ma.
chine, some of them being 500 to 600
feet long. When these tubes are once
wade, they are reverted, and the im-
curities are washed out, and the result
is a clear, transparent, colorless tube of
pure cellulose. This cellulose is with.
out fibre, and eutirely without seam
or joint. They are finished in a dry
state, but are usually let stand a short
time so that they do not become hard
snd brittle in drying. When dry the
tubes are cut to suitable lengths and
prepared for the trade.
From s sanitary standpoint, these
wood casings present several noted ad-
vantages, which are free from all
diseases which might attack the hog,
cleanliness in the process of manufac
ture, and absolute antiseptic proper-
tien. They also keep indefinitely in
the dry state and are not subject to
any kiod of decay or putrefaciion.
Besides these valuable properties,
the wood casing is very elastic which
enables it to expand when filled by
means of the ordinary filling machine
or sausage stuffer. It is also strong
enough to stand the subsequent pro-
cess of handling, cooking, hsoging
snd smoking. The casing cuts as the
ordinary cessing, peeling off rather
more readily from the meat than does
the intestinal casing. Further, it is of
uniform dismetsr throughout {is

appearance. It is also uniform, sod

greatly benefit the sausage maker and
those who eat it and will remove alto.
