NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE
GAME AND FISH
GET ATTENTION
New Code and Similar Meas
ures Will Be Given a General
Hearing Tuesday
Fishermen as well as hunters of the
state are to have their innings next
week, and for the convenience of the
sportsmen's organizations, the Wild
Life League of Pennsylvania has ar
ranged for a hearing on the new fish
code, to be held next Tuesday, March
27, at 10 o'clock a. m.. before the
House Fish Committee. Inasmuch as
the new game code is to be the sub
ject of a hearing before a joint meet
ing of the House and Senate Game
committees at 2 o'clock in the after
noon of the same day, the sportsmen's
organizations will be enabled to pre
sent their views on both measures by
making one trip to Harrisburg.
The first inning of a strenuous bat
tle over the opening of the unseated
and auxiliary forest reserve lands of
the State to fishing and hunting was
fought in the House Forestry Commit
tee yesterday when by a close vote the
committee reported out House bill
954. introduced by Representative J.
G. Dell. This measure has been pro
posed by the Wild Life League of
Pennsylvania, for the purpose of pre
venting the further gobbling up of the
good fishing and hunting territory by
•wealthy men and private clubs, who,
■by posting the lands they acquire,
have already tied up millions of acres
of wilderness.
The Wild Life League bill presented
by Senator Phipps, of
ty, which opens the way to State for
est extension In Western Pennsylvania
by authorizing the acquisition of the
surface rights only, for forestry pur
poses, was reported out of the Senate
Committee on Forestry and passed
first reading yesterday. The new
bounty bill and the bill requiring non
resident hunters to wear a license tag
were also reported out and passed first
reading. A bill to pitf quail on the
song-bird list was presented by Sen
ator Stewart and referred to the Agri
cultural Committee.
Representative Wallace, of Law
rence county, has presented the bill
for the establishment of auxiliary
game preserves in counties having no
State lands.

Important Liquor Regulation
Bill Presented to the Leg
islature Today
Another blow was aimed at the sa
loon to-day when Representative E.
R. Smith, of Bedford county, introduc
ed one of the most stringent bills in
the House that has made its appear
ance in that battleground of liquor
strife for years. Mr. Smith seeks to
eliminate everything from the saloon
as an attraction with the single excep
tion of the liquor itself and in another
measure, presented some weeks ago, he
proposes an amendment to the State
constitution providing for prohibition.
'The baby member of the House," as
ho is known, because he is the young
est assemblyman in Pennsylvania, this
young man from the mountains of
Central Pennsylvania has been quite
active this session for a new member
and his new bill will attract wide
spread attention and bo the subject of
many discussions. The bill he presents
will make the cabaret a thing of the
past; will banish vaudeville and dan
cing from the precincts of licensed
liquor houses and will eliminate any
display of moving pictures as an in
ducement to have men line up at the
mahogany and give orders to the bar
tenders and in addition would be a
severe blow to the dinlngroom feature
of many prominent cafes operated in
conjunction to a saloon.
The bill reads: "That from and
after the passage of this act it shall
be unlawful for any person or persons
licensed to sell vinous, spirituous, malt
or brewed liquors to maintain or con
duct any public dances or dancing,
whether by any performer or perform
ers engaged for the purpose, or by any
guests, customers, patrons or any oth
er persons whatsoever upon any part
of the premises so licensed: or any
public singing therein, or any cabaret
shows, vaudeville or theatrical enter
tainments, or exhibitions of moving
pictures upon any part of the prem
ises so licensed." The penalty is a
fine of SSOO or six months' imprison
ment or both.
Ky the terms of the Smith bill it
might be possible to have instrumental
music though that may be covered in
some of the foregoing restrictions. He
would make it incumbent on the license
holder to have no other inducement
for the public other than the liquors
sold by him. The cabaret feature does
not necessarily apply to Pitsburgh nor
do some of the other features of the
bill especially lit Allegheny county but
Harrisburg and some other towns in
Father Penn's wide domain would feel
the check and balance of the youth
ful member's bill if it go on the stat
ute books of the State.

mene tablets. Take as per directions
and continue treatment several months
if necessary.
Miss Adele writes: "My hair is comb
ing out, my scalp itches and dandruff
Is much annoying, and I want some
thing to cure these conditions "
Answer: For hair and scalp troubles
I have never found anything to equal
the beneficial results of a thorough
treatment of plain yellow minyol. It is
cooling, cleansing and invigorating
and thousands now use it regularly as
a hair and scalp tonic.
"Uneasv" writes: "I am uneasy about
my health. My kidneys and bladder are
not well. Have Epells of depression, do
not well, have to arise frequently
Xrine bad odor and color, very scant
sometimes. My ankles puff and under
my eyes I have 'bags. Fleaso pre

Answer: Your symptoms indicate vou
need treatment to tone up the functions
of kidney bladder. Obtain In sealed
tubes balmwort tablets and take as per
directions for several weeks, or until
relief is experienced.
.T. R. G. writes: "When a person be
comes uncomfortable from excess fat
do you believe in reducing with medi
cine treatment?"
Answer: The treatment of excess fat
for reduction can be carried out safely
with five grain arbolone tablets. I do
not advise indiscriminate medication
but this treatment seems to be uni
formly successful.
NOTE: For many years Dr. Baker has
been giving free advice and prescrip
tions to millions of people through the
press columns, and doubtless has help
ed in relieving illness and distress more
than any single Individual in the
world's history. Thousands have writ

Unless William Penn appears in the'
Delaware county court at Media on
April 9, he is in danger of losing
seventy-nine silver English pennies a
year, ground rental on a tract of
seventy-nine acres of land in Spring
field township. Judge Bromall had
ordered Penn to appear, on request
of W. I. SchafTer, a lawyer.
In looking up title to some land.
SchafTer discovered that 232 years ago
Penn had an agreement whereby he
was to receive a silver penny for
each acre, to be paid on the first day
of each year.
The claim has long since been "out
lawed," because Penn and his heirs
have not appeared to claim the rent
but the agreement Is still on the
books, and SchafTer wants it formally
removed.
