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.

|
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.

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 committee in charge of the
tractors has arranged with State
Highway officials to do hauling on
state roads at a compensation to be
fixed.
Rnuscli in Charge—According to
the camp newspapers at Augusta,
"Major L. V. Rausch, United States
Army, has arrived at Camp Han
cock as the new constructing quar
termaster." Major Rausch is well
known to all Pennsylvania guards
men. For a number of years he had
charge of all the supplies at the
State Arsenal, and all arrangements
and improvement at Mount Gretna
were made by him. It is understood
that a contract of more than
half million dollars has been enter
ed into by the United States govern
ment with A. J. Twiggs & Son. which
contract will keep Major Rausch
pleasantly employed for some time.

General's Departments the Dauphin
county court has cited the Phoenix
ville Systematic Savings and Loan
Co., Phoenixville, into court on

ness should not be closed up. George
H. Orth, of Harrisburg, was ap
pointed temporary receiver by Com
missioner Lafean, who has such au
thority to act to conserve assets.
Wardens Instructed State fish
wardens were to-day given instruc
tion in provisions of the new fish
code by Commissioner Buller, who
presented decisions byi the Attor
ney General's Department on ques
tions which had been raised. The
new code is to be strictly enforced
this spring, says Commissioner Bul
ler. Several of the wardens have
been transferred to the hatcheries
because of the rush of work inci
dental to sending out of the young
fish which will start very soon. State
policemen and game wardens will
help enforce the new code, it was
announced.
Appointed to Board— Mrs. Helen
Graves Runkle Smith, of Altoona,
has been appointed a member of
the Blair County Mothers' Pension
Beard.
Meeting Officers—Adjutant Gen
eral Beary and Chief Clerk Dem
ming are on a tour of visits to
armories and to meet officers of the
new Reserve Militia.
"Compound Case." —The Superior
Court will hear argument on what

THE CONFLICTOF
LOVE AND FAT
The average man will "jolly" with
the stout gill, but he steals glances
over her shoulder at that Miss Slen
der. He would sooner hold the hands
of the latter in a fatuous silence than
really enjoy himself with the other.
Such is the power of line. Just a line
—from chin to toe, or nape to heel—
that's all. But it rings the merry
marriage bell.
Fkt women should not repine—bi/t
refine—their own lines by means of
that phenomenal—the Marmola Tab
let. No exercising or dieting: is neces
sary. Simply take one tablet after
each meal and at bedtime, and in a lit
tle while the. overplus of fat—the
coarseness of aspect—will disappear.
The figure will become slight enough
to permit of a maidenly contour, a
pure outline, being fashioned with
corset and gown. Then victory—if
not revenge.
Although Marmola Tablets often
take off uniformly a pound of flabby
fat a day. they are quite harmless
(being made of the famous fashion
able prescription: %-oz. Marmola, 4-
oz. Fl.. Ex. Cascara Aromatic, 4% oz.
Peppermint Water). Consequently
even timid ones are safe in usini?

BOYS CLASSES WORKING
HARD AT Y. M. C. A. GYM.
With four younger boys bible
classes, three gymnasium classes
and a student's game period in the
game rooms, the boys division of the
Central Y. M. C. A. presented a busy
appearance this morning. The young
er boys Bible classes are among the
interesting features of association
activities. They are taught by four
High school and Academy students:
Stewart Taylor, of Technical High;
Seymour Nissley and Carlton Goodiel,
of Central High, and Park Beckley,
of the Academy, Between sixty-five
and seventy boys are enrolled in the
classes.
Proof of the fact that the boys
department under the direction of
A. H- Dinsmore, boys' work secre
tary, is "catching hold" with the
boys, is shown by the fact that with
the big Tech-Central game being
played Thursday evening, flfty-one
boys attended the boys social held at
the same time.

KEYSTONE STATE
DEATHRATE UP
State Department of Health
Prepares Interesting Sta
tistics For 1917
The Keystone State had a birth
rate of 25.8 per 1,000 of population
during 1917< a decrease of .1 and a
death rate of 14.8 per 1,000, an In
crease of .2, compared to the pre
vious year, according to a summary
made of vital and mortuary statis
tics made to-day at the State De
partment of Health.
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.
In 1906 the death rate was 16 per
1,000 and in 1907 15.9 per 1,000.
Since that time the system of reg
ular returns has been perfected and
shows:

DOGCATCHER'S .
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.
Appeals were dismissed as fol
lows: Moody vs. Union Drawn Steel
