DR. DIXON WARNS
AGAINST EXCESS
Says That Alcohol Must Be
Eschewed if One Would
Avoid Dread Pneumonia
Overeating and drinking are pro
lific causes of pneumonia and not
only people in civil life, but the
young men who arc In military
training should refrain from over
indulgence during tho excitement
of a new life, says Dr. Samuel G.
Dixon, state commissioner of health
in c. statement, issued to-day giving
warning of dangers of pneumonia.
Dr. Dixon addresses himself espe
cially to the young men in the mili
tary camps and calls upon citizens
to assist the military authorities and
at the sama time to keep them
selves fit.
Dr. Dixon says: "Getting the
Kreat number of men together from
■various parts of the country to mili
tary camps is a most difficult duty.
The violent change of climate and
the exchange, in many cases, to out
door life from indoor life, without
proper clothing and under unusual
living accommodations, as well as
the influx of new men, without iso
lation camps where they might be
kept under observation until any
contagious disease has had time to
develop, are sources of danger to
the men who are already ii> the
service. Unfortunately, the recruits,
under the excitement of the new
life, are tempted to indulgo in high
jiving and alcohol, which condition
i.s always bad, particularly in cases
of pneumonia. Alcohol combusts in
the human system and does so at
the expense of other valuable food
stuffs. and therefore, should not be
considered a foodstuff .under the
circumstances. It Interferes wifli
treatment, using the patient's
strength, when this strength is most
.needed In resisting the disease.
Overeating and drinking are bound
to increase the death rate from
pneumonia. It is the duty of each
one to take good care of his health
so as to enable him to fight against
this serious, exhaustive disease pre
valent in winter.
'"During the last several months,
not only In military, but in civil
Itfe, wo have lost by death a large
number of citizens by pneumonia
and other diseases, where the pa
tients' condition was due to the fact
that they were overfed and. over
p.lcoholed.
"It is to be hoped that this word
of warning will, particularly at this
time when this terrible world's war
calls for our best efforts, help us
to restrain ourselves, and that our
citizens in civil life will join in
assisting the military authorities iif
carrying out their discipline, by re
training from furnishing alcohol to
those who are in the service."

plenty of complaint now from the
hunters who have to go through
months of red tape to get their pay.
What is needed, say the Game Com
missioners, is a simple system to pay
the hunter when he sends in his
pelt. This will probably be achieved
in the next session of the legisla
ture.

any wild animal in these days you

By and large, over the whole state,
the sum of $123,790 has been paid
for bounties since the new regime
began. It might be Interesting for
the steam-heated citizen to know
what is being killed by the varmint
chasers out in the open. Well, the
state paid bounty on 1,124 wildcats,

this country. Clary told the re
porter something he did not know,
namely that a weasel is simply alias
for ermine, that costly white fur
you always see on actresses. Yes,
a weasel, that is one-tenth of the
tribe, turns white in the winter, all
but the tip end of his tail and that
ever remains black. The farmer
pets $1.50 for a weasel hide and by
the time the fur merchant gets
through with it the actress has to
dig deep for her neck warmer. A
weasel is, by ail tokens, worse than
a Ilun Kaiser in his thirst for blood
and death.

Clary, and, by the way, he had two

will eat one rabbit at night and be
contented, lie down and sleep with
a good conscience. But that weas

thing, only one-sixth as long as 'the
wildcat, "will kill twenty-flve rab

chickens the nm way, o no one
has much sympathy for a weasel."
Mink Is about the most valuable
pelt we have in this state. And
yet the mink seems to be harmless;
he only eats water snakes, which
no one is fond of. and frogs. A good
mink skin brings $6.50. He is plen
tiful up In Crawford, Somerset and
Wayne counties, where he toys away
life In tho water and swamps. The
red fox is also costly and hardest
to capture. He thrives in the North
Tier counties, while the gray is found
plentifully in Perry, Wayne and
Pike counties.
The strictness with which game
laws arc now administered is high
ly satisfactory to every citizen who
loves to feel that there Is still sonic
primeval territory left in Pennsyl
vania. Until recently it was com
mon for hunters to poison grain
and thus kill thousands of birds
and animals. A number of these
criminals have been convicted
through the efforts of the present
authorities. With the reforetation
going on it is not unlikely that our
forests will be populated more and
more with game and thus preserve
something of early days for coming
generations.

Publicity is to be enlisted us an
aid to the State Game commission j
in enforcing the state's same laws.
The imposition of fines has hail j
some effect, but at the last meet-'
ing of the commission it was de
cided that it would not bo a bad
idea to give full publicity to the,
name and circumstances surround
ing every conviction. This will be ;
u new departure in enforcement of
the game laws, but It is believed I
■tliat it will be effective, as not only I
dally newspapers, but sportsmen's
Magazines will be informed of the'
:i treats and convictions.
The last year brought numerous
violations of the state game laws,
notably in the killing of does and
j young bucks, which are not legal.
; The names of several hunters have
been secured and evidence is be-i
ing hunted with the idea that they
will bo prosecuted. Their names
will be given out when fines are
collected.
The state game wardens have got

foreigners who have been disre- j
garding the game laws by shooting!
out of season and on false papers.

| grouse shooting so that the birds!
may increase. The commission has
] been endeavoring to get a general
agreement on a two-year period
which seems to be more or less
favored. Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, sec
retary of the commission, in speak
ing about the matter, said that the
i two-year closed season on turkeys
of years ago worked very -well and j
that he believed that two years 1
i would meet the requirements. It isj
important to get in all of the coun- j
ties, however, so that there will be!
no raiding of grouse in any one
county where shooting might not be
i forbidden through failure to peti
i tion.
Dr. Kalbfus says that people are
commencing to realize that there is
a community interest in game and
that there is little to the com
plaints of some people that hunt
, era who pay a license in a distant
county leave no revenue in the coun
i ty where they hunt. He says that
the hunting counties are well taken
! care of in disbursements from the
, hunters' license fund and by state
, appropriations once any one sits
down to work it out.
It Is probable that this year some
deer will be released from private
preserves to help In stocking cer-
tain districts. The state has ar
ranged to .turn loose a number of
deer which have been optioned In
other states and some privately
owned deer will be offered.
Steps to complete the negotiations
for state game preserves in Warren
and Forest counties will be taken
in about a month. / Bucks and Dau
phin are also to get reserves if

in each of these four counties is
well adapted.
The State Game Commission offi-
cers have been getting numerous
letters complaining about tho scat
tering of poisoned corn where crows
will get it. Most of the writers do
not appear to know that the corn
will kill tho crows and quail and
pheasants as well as wild turkeys
and chickens not be harmed. The
strychnine that it takes' to kill a
crow is infinitesimal and it is get
ting in its work. Seth E. Gordon,
assistant secretary of the game com
mission, says that the average'crow
killed by the poisoned corn had
seven grains in its stomach. These
grains had less than one one-hun
dredth of a grain of the drug which
would not even have amused a
chicken or quail.
Two Turkish Cruisers Sunk
by British Ships in Battle
Liondon, Jan. 21. ln a naval
action between British and Turkish
forces at the entrance to the Darda
nelles, the Turkish cruiser Midullu,
formerly the German Breslau, was
sunk and the Sulton Yawuz Selim,
I'crmerly the German Goeben, was
benched. This announcement was
made by the Admiralty last night.
The German cruisers Breslau and
Goeben were In the Mediterranean
sea at the outbreak of the war and
fed into the Dardanelles, seeking
safety from the British and French
warships that sought their destruc
tion.
Since then they have been active
in the Dardanelles, at the Black Sea
entrance to the Hosphorus and in
the Black Sea along the Turkish
Asiatic, the Russian and the Ru
manian coasts.
Reaching Constantinople in the
middle of August, 1914, the British
government immediately protested
against tho German warships be
ing accorded refuge and Turkey
promised that they would be intern
ed, and placed out of commission
until the end of the war. Later, how
ever, It was announced that Turkey
had purchased the cruisers and
them tho new names of Midullu and
Sultan Yawuz Sellm.
Then followed frequent reports of
the activity of the worships in the
Black Sea, bombarding enemy land
positions and engaging or being en
raged by ships of the Russian Black
Sea fleet. Although the Turkish and
German war statements frequently
announced victories for the re
christened Germans, the Russian
Admiralty on numerous occasions
told of how Russian warships had
sent scurrying from the Bkack
Sea into the Bosphorus, damaged,
cn fire and shojving the wounds the
Russian shells had given them.
Shortly afterward, however, the
Midullu and her sister ship again
would appear, and the game of hide
and seek between them and the
Russians would go on again until
another battle took place, the Turks
in the meantime having sunk cargo
boats ranging from the smallest
fishing craft to steamers.
