TROUT FISHING
NOW PICKING UP
Commissioner Buller Talks
About the General Situation
in the State Streams
fTTT? - More and finer
\\ 9 //J trout aro being
YvW c&"Kht now than
when tho season
f was young this
year, says Com
mlssloner of
■ tiSirjtlawfjO Buller, who has
[ etlßwljlaJnl been getting re
ports on the flsh
lng season. On the
naafiit contrary the bass
fishing is extremely poor.
"When the trout season openod
the streams were low and the water
was very cold," said the commissiou
ei to-day in explaining the situa
tion. "The tish were shy and remain
er". away from the favorite places.
Lately things have been warming up
and we have had frequent rains.
This has brought up the waters and
the trout have been biting well and
I am informed that some splendid
specimens have been hooked in
many counties. Streams which we
stocked a few years ago are produc
ing results. Now as to the bass tbe
water conditions spoil fishing for
them in many parts of the State but
that Is not so bad as few of the oass
we have observed have spawned ps
yet. There should be good bass fish
ing later on."
The State Fisheries Board held Its
quarterly meeting here to-day and
outlined its work for the summer a.id
fall. The building operations depei-.d
on the appropriations.
The state Police—The State Police
Department will not add any more
men to the force until July 1 owing
to the difficulties experienced in set
ting equipment for the men. The
State Police Department materials
are all of standards and it happens
that mills and factories are so ousy
on government orders that they ca.i
not handle what the State desires.
The men enlisted last week have been
sent to barracks for training and
lists are being made of available
men who will be called up for en
listment late in the month. Owing
to the war many men of military ?x
--perience who would probably have
been available for the State police
have entered the army.

of Pittsburgh, state superintendent of
the Dry Federation of Pennsylvania.
Immediately declared that the anti
liquor forces would simply go ahead
with tile work of organizing the State
for the purpose of electing members
to the next Assembly, Dr. Harris has
taken hold of his new duties in a way
that seems ifnusual to the ordinary
procedure followed by the clergy in
lighting the saloon. He Is conferring
with men from different counties and
expects to have a real antlllquor or
ganization In each county of the State
before January 1. His methods have
met with approval generally.
l iquor l-'orcea Win
It was thought that the Smith reso
lution had a chance for passage in
the Legislature until the present Leg
islative week opened. It is positively
known that the liquor forces made a
last stand against the resolution and
have been successful. They are weary
of this lighting and say so and say
the day Is not far distant when the
m.tlon, through war, will drivo the
nails deep Into the liquor coffin. If
the Smith resolution had been passed
at this session it would have had to
poss the next session also and then
go before the people'for approval.

Lemons Whiten and
Beautify the Skin!
Make Cheao Lotion
The Juice of two fresh lemons
i strained into a bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white
i makes a whole quarter pint of the
j most remarkable lemon skin beau
tlfler at about the cost one must
pay for a small jar of the ordinary
cold creams. Care should be taken
to strain the lemon Juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and
remove such blemishes as freckles,
sallowness and tan, and is the ideal
skin softener, smootliener and beau
tifler.
Just try it! Make up a quarter
pint of this swffbtly fragrant lemon
lotion and massage it daily into the
fuce, neck, arms and hands. It
should naturally help to whiten,
soften, freshen, and bring out thfr
hidden roses and beauty of any skin.
It is wonderful for rouKh, red hands.
Your druggist will sell three
ounces of orchard white at little
cost, and any grocer will supply the
lemons.—Adv.
