You are perhaps aware that pneu-

from an attack Of the grippe. During
the epidemic Of the grippe few years
ago when so many cases resulted In
pneumonia, It was observed that the ct
tack was never followed by that disease
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was
used. 1t counteracts any tendency OF
cold or the grippe to result 10 that dan
gerous disease. II Is the best remedy In
the world for bad colds and grippe.

spoRTsMsN,s ASSOCIATION.

The Maine Sportsmen's Fish snt
Game Association held its annual meet
ing at the State House Tuesday. Though
there were many at the State House ths
attendance At the meeting was limited
The report Of the secretary was IL
favor OF license upon all visiting
sportsmen and smsller fee upon the
resident sportsmen TO help defray IN,
expenses Of the state protection Of the
game. The report WAS referred To tbs
COMMITTEES on legislation.
The report Of the committee appointed
for the revision of the II IN and game law:
II the state was read. IL advised that
AL previous laws be repealed and placed
Ia one chapter for the better reference.
IL advised the moose law De left un'
changed with the exception Of having
the punishment for the killing of u moose
10 close time left discretionary with the
Judge, whether !, shall be Imprisonment
or a large fiue. The close time on caribou
WAS advised 10 be heightened 10 the
same as the moose.
The law relating 10 deer would be
changed so that close time would come
December Is instead Of January l. An
other change suggested Is the allowing
Of one deer &c be killed by esch sportsman
in September on the payment OF fixed
sum. The sale OF ruffed grouse sud wood
cock would DC prohibited. The trans
portation Of game birds and OF all sorts
~ game would be arranged more salts
f4ctOrily than At present. A license fee
for all camp proprietors would be asked.
Ga payment OF fee responsible persons
would be allowed 10 deal Ia the hides OF
ieer and other game. The other changes
In regard TO fish were OF s sectional
nature, and DO not affect the law as IL
stands.
There WAS quite little opposition TO
he change in the moose law and TO the
killing Of deer In September, but both
we're finally approved.
Adjournment was made 70 Tuesday,
January 10, AZ the State House.
