GAME BIRDS TO BE SENT AROUND First Work For the Year Has Been Planned by the State's Game Commission Distribution of ring-necked pheas- \ ants and wild turkeys among the ! state's game preserves to extend the propagation plans of the State Game Commission was begun this week by wardens and protectors and if the ! weather continues to improve, hun- j dreds of the birds will be turned j loose in the woods or placed in re- i stricted- areas until they mate. The j Commission secured hundreds of pheasants last fall and they have ' been kept in captivity on several of i the preserves, standing the winter | very well and enabling valuable ob- ; servations to be made of them, j Some of' the wild turkeys were j caught last fall and held on state j property, but the bulk of them were trapped in West Virginia and Mary- j land and brought in this year. Sportsmen have given consider able help in the arrangements for ! the distribution and have agreed to j keep an eye on the birds and to help j feed them if necessary. It is the j plan to place many more pheasants j in the woods, and the expectation is that the forests near the preserves . will afford excellent hunting this year. The first of the Mexican quail are I exported in a month. Some of these i birds have been held in the Mexican j highlands, but others are being j trapped now. Hundreds of them j will be set out. They will be care- j fully watched, as last year weather j and feeding conditions caused heavy 1 loss. The survey of the native quail j shows heavy losses in some coun ties, those in the southern districts j standing the winter better. But for ; the food scattered by sportsmen, ! many of them would have been lost, j Petitions for the closing of coun ties for the shooting of ruffed grouse for a two-year period, are in cir culation in all but ten counties of the state this week, and those ten will be taken care of soon. The ;• Commission will act in the matter i before many weeks go by, some pe- j titions beng now on file, although < there is a disposition to wait until i many have entered the papers so that the general sentiment of the sportsmen of the state can be set forth. The reports coming here tell of general closing of states to ruffed grouse hunting, Maine being the j latest heard of as about to move in ! the matter. AVOID ALL MEAT IF KIDNEYS AND BLADDER BOTHER Uric Acid in meat excites 1 Kidneys and irritates the Bladder. I < || Take Salts at first sign of ! Bladder weakness or Kidney-Backache. i | Kidney and Bladder weakness re- I • suit troni uric acid, says a noted au- i 1 thority. The kidneys filter this acid! the blood and pass it ou to the i ( bladder, where it often remains to|i irritate and inflame, causing a Durn- 11 ingj scalding sensation, or setting up'' an irritation at the neck of the blad- |' der, obliging' you to seek relief two I or three times during the night. The j sufferer is in constant dreau, the wa- ! ter passes sometimes with a scalding, sensation and is very profuse; again there is difficulty in avoiding it. . . Bladder weakness, most folks call' it. because they can't control urina-1 tion. While it is extremely annoy-j ing and sometimes very painful, this 1 is really one of the most simple ail ments to overcome. Get about four | ounces of Jad Salts from your phar- i macist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, coa- I tinue this for two or three days. 1 This will neutralize the acids in the! urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary j organs which then act normally i again. I Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,! and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with 1 lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary dis- • orders caused by uric acid irritation , Jad Salts js splendid fer kidneys and causes no ba(J effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, efferves-i cent lithia-water drink which quick ly relieves bladder trouble.—Adv. DR. JOHN F. CULP Has again resumed the Practice of Medicine r OFFICE 410 X.

SOUTHEAST TO > GET TRACTORS Arrangements Being Made to Start Out the State's Ma chines Next Week the spring plowing season starts earl iest. It is hoped at the State De partment of Agriculture to have the tractors start work by the middle of next week. The first dozen will be sent to the southeastern section and then a schedule will be made up for those farms in the western end of the state whose owners have asked for help. The other tractors will be placed in central counties, and by the time the forty are in operation the plowing season will be well un der way all ovjr the state. In the northern tier, where the season is later, the tractors will be assembled for the last of the spring work. Over 30 farmers have written for the services of the tractors and the plan arranged is to have a schedule for a district. Each tractor will have two mechanicans who will drive it and keep it in order. These men are being enlisted, some coming from State College. The tractors will work day and night and there will be a supervisor in charge of each ten. This man will arrange the schedules and keep convenient parts for quick repairs so that there will be no delays. The deliveries have been promised of machines which have been thor oughly tested and the Highway De partment will issue licenses to the Agricultural Department for its ve hicles. The rates will be on a basis of a day or acre and will cover only costs. Farmers will be charged three dollars an acre for the plowing of their land with the tractors ordered by the state. In addition, they will be asked to provide board and lodg ing for the operators. The state will pay for the upkeep of the tractors, including gasoline, oil, repairs and shelter. These details were an nounced following a conference here between officials of the State Food Administration and a state agricul tural committee headed by Lieuten ant Governor McClain. Each tractor it is estimated, can plow four acres a day. The tractor operators will work in five-hour shifts.

The Department figures that the birth rate is below what it was in 1908, the Jirst year when complete vital statistics were obtained, but that the death rate is also lower. T his is considered gratifying in view of the big increases in the popula tion of the state, which is now esti mated at 8,8 li 1,2 30. State Regis trar W. B. Batt, says that increases in recent years are not due to the prevenfable diseases such as typhoid and scarlet fevers and the like, but to the others against which medical science has been struggling for years such as pneumonia, bright's disease, cunrer and the like. Pneumonia has caused many deaths in the last two years, and the recent severe winters have caused a high mortality among aged persons.

COMPENSATION State Board Grants a New Hearing to Dispose of the New Castle Claim The State Compensation Board has awarded a new hearing to de termine whether Robert K. Ellis, the city dog catcher of New Castle, died of rabies and whether his wid ow should be awarded compensa tion. The man was bitten by a dog and the city solicitor contended that at the time he was not in course of employment, which the board de clines to accept. At the same time it holds that the determination of the physician in attendance, that the man died of rabies was reached by a process of elimination and is not satisfactory to the board. The Board also granted'rehear ings in Signore vs. Republic Chemi cal Co., Pittsburgh, in which it is held that the mother of the deceased never having resided in America, is therefore not a legal dependent; Shearer vs. Westmoreland Coal Co., Irwin; Sipe vs. Garrett, New Wilm ington, in which a question of sea sonal employment arises and disal laws an award in llewell vs. Mid vale Steel Works, Philadelphia.
