There is no law governing fishing in the
ocean. The law governing fishing with
nets within the estuaries of the sea are
kaleidoscope in their variety. There is
no general law. Where there has been
restrictive legislation it has been confined
to certain sections. and nearly every law
has a convenient loophole affording an
opportunity for the offenders to escape.
The law in relation to Barnegat Bay-the
resort for salt water anglers-is definite
and plain. 1t provides. however. that
the prosecutions shall be in actions Of

method of enforcing the judgment when

not care how many judgments are piled

There is more Catarrh in this section oil
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be consti-
tutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
