The Close Season for Game.

The hunting season is on, and 1t will not be lawful to kill game birds until the first of October. For some time not many birds have been killed, as 1t is not pop ular time to hunt in the winter; and for this reason those who, of late, have gone into the woods with their guns have had the better success. This is especially true of the farmers and their sons, who can take short and frequent trips to the woods with much greater facility than their brother hunters of the city.
 There is no law protecting rabbits, foxes and ducks, and the hunters arc free to hunt these according to their own fancy. But there is . penalty attached to the killing of, offering for sale, buying or even eating of game birds, the fine being $25.

The usual treatment of catarrh is very unsatisfactory, as thousands can testify. Proper local treatment Is positively neces- sary to success, but many, if not most, of the remedies in general use afford but temporary relief. A cure certainly cannot be expected from snuffs, powders, douchss and washes. Ely's Cream Balm, which is so highly commended, is a remedy which action, specific curative power, with per feet safety and pleassntness to the patient. The druggists all cell it.
