GAME SUPPLY.
Views of President Penniman of Mary
land Game Association.

The question Of increasing the stock of
cartridges in Maryland, whether by closing
the sport OF hunting birds for year or
two or by other means, still agitates the
gamers. Most of them are reasonable
about the matter and all want to do what
is best. Mr.. George Dobbin Penniman,
President of the Maryland State Game and
Fish Protective Association, said the othtr
day:
"There has been some Misrepresentation
OF the position taken by the executive COM
movement looking to closed season in
partridge shooting for year. As matter
of fact, the Game Association has not taken
any official action, and does not intend to
take any official action as far as | know
The question was raised informally at the
last meeting Of the executive committee,
and in the opinion of most OF the membe s
present closed season was not deemed ad-
visable. Unoilioially, | would like to state
my opinion:
admitting that the extreme cold OF the
last winter has seriously decreased the
number of cartridges in many places in
this State, think that there are two meth
DDS by which the number can be increased
One is by prohibiting shooting for year,
and the second is by affording the present
stock of birds every protection possible
during this winter; by purchasing birds
from the West for propagating purposes
and by so caring for the birds during this
and the following winters by aifordipg
them proper shelter and food that a great
number of birds now annually killed
through cold, hawks, etc, will be saved
"The only thing in favor OF the first plan
is that certain number of birds will not
be killed next winter by sportsmen who
will obey the law. The experience o! our
neighbors in Virginia has been shat there
are number of people scattered through
the country who will not observe the law,
and as q result many birds will be killed

condition. Every woman tries to be rid
OF it. Thousands OF such women have
been cured by DR.. Pierce's treatment with
his "Favorite Prescription" when local
doctors had entirely failed to cure.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

means the Sunday Order of Gowns

G. G. is "a Heavenly Sabbath" and
membership is open to all. While one
object of the order will be the preser-

How to Choose Good Meat.

Let US imagine ourselves before o
butchers block having on 1t four pieces
of beef presenting faces from the round
or sirloin. One is dull red, the lean
being close-grained and the fat very
white; the next is dark-red, the lean
loose-grained and sinewy and the fat
white and shining; the third is dull red,
the lean loose grained and slnewy and
the fat yellow; the fourth is bright
cherry-red, the lean smooth and me-
dunn grained, with fecks of white
through 1t, and the fat creamy-neither
white nor yellow. The first of these is
COW beef: the second, bull beef; the
third, beef from an old or ill-condl-
toned animal; and the last is OK beef.
Ok heef-that from a steer-is the
juciest, finest favored, sweetest and
most economical to buy Of all beef. 1t
is called prime" when the lean is very
much mottled with the white fat-fecks,
and when 1t is from a heavy, young
animal about years old, stall-fed on
corn. Beef from young COW that hss
been well fed and fattened is next in
merit to OK beef. Beef from an un-
matured animal is never satisfactory.

Things to Know.


That baking powder biscuits require
much more heat than bread Many
modern oven have thermometers at
tached, and it requires 44O degrees
Fahrenheit for biscuits, to remain in
the oven twenty minutes.
Fruit to be at Its best should be kept
in cool, dry place. and not on ice.
Corn meal is excellent food for VIM
ter, as 1t contains much fat, and when
eggs and milk are added to it has high
nutritive value.
Ham has much better flavor If 1t
is boiled for one hour and then baked
two hours, with brown sugar sprinkled
over it for the last fifteen minutes.
Hollowed-out apples or beets make
artistic and pretty cups to hold salad.
A very pleasing addition to the ardi-
nary nut cake is one cup of raisins.
A pound of beef and quart of whole
milk contain about the same amount of
nourishment; but the meat, although
1t costs more, is more valuable as food,
as it contains the nutriments in more
suitable proportion. -,
Sour milk and soda make n more deli
cious devils food cake than the sweet
milk aud baking powder; it is much
more tender.
Potato salad is much more savory II
mixed with the salad dressing while
hot, the dressing penetrates the pota-
to thoroughly when put over while
hot
Jelly keeps much better If melted
parafine is poured over each tumblerfuI.
When the jelly is used wash the wax.

Although it is true that hunger is
the best sauce" yet a daintily gar
nished dish is the next best.

oysters Have ManyFoes..

The oyster appears TO be the most
perfectly protected creature in the sea,
yet 1t falls victim to the soft and ap.
parently helpless starflsh. The method
of attack is curious but effective. The
startish clasps the oyster In its five
arms and quietly waits. Presently the
oyster opens Its shell in order to get
food. This is the chance that the star
fish has been waiting for, and II
prompt injects into the shell little rcd
dish fluid.
This acts as a poison, paralyzlng La
muscles of the oyster and thus making
1T impossible for the creature to close
Its shell. The starflsh does not take
the trouble even to remove the oyster
from its shell, but eats it in its own
home and eventually crawls away,
leaving behind the gaping, empty shell.

Marcus Daiy's Story of How a Southern
err Changed His Poker Luck.
Marcus DAILY, the Montana million
aire, tells of poker game with some
peculiar features. "The game" said
Mr.. Daily, was in progress the second
night after We sailed. l don't believe
much in hoodoos and signs and that
sort of thing, and l don't put much
faith In luck, but was pretty nearly
converted on this trip. A blonde-mus-
tached Vtrginian named Mack Hardy
was a steady loser for the first two
hours. He played 'em well. but when
ever he had big hand somebody else
always had one just a bit bigger, and
on bluff some fellow with more Gu
rlosity than nerve or judgment would
call him down. At just IL o'clock he
got up from his chair and walked back
ward around the table thirteen times,
Offering no explanation for his strange
conduct On the next deal he had
a pair Of treys, raised 1t when 1t came
his say, stood two raises from other
players and set 1t back the limit. Both
the others stayed in, holding up an ace
and didn't improve; each of the 9TH
ers drew only one card. Hardy put
up n magnificent bluff never saw
n low hand played better with all the
fcints of assured nervousness, frequent
glances at his hand. etc.
"He drove one man out who had
aces up and had the other on the run,
when gust Of wind through the open
door scattered the third players hand.

and mental sides Of these men.
Vocal Exertion.
In considering the campaign work of
a man, the voice is the one thing that
gives uneasiness to the speaker and his
friends. With voice gone, his work
is at an end, and it is known that the
voice is more likely to give away than
any other physical necessity In cam
paign. If hand-shaking be thrust upon
a candidate until the bone and tissue
OF the hand are pulp, the public will
still come and will respect the fact that
the mans right forearm is in sling. But
II he cannot talk, most OF the attractive
ness of the candidate takes wing.
Nerve tax ana the consequent loss of
tone In the system are regarded as hav-
ing direct and vital influence on the
voice. DIR. Oscar A. King, neurologist
and professor in the medical school in
the University of Illinois, has found a
most subtle relation between the nery-
GUS system and the voice.
As basic proposition" he said,
you may trace every impeachment In
speech to nervous influences. Starting
with this, the effect of q depleted nerv-
Gus system on the voice is plain. The
mechanlsms of the vocal organs are in
trlcatc of themselves, and the nerves
which control these organs multiply
their complexities. In failing voice,
then. one must always look to the con.
dition Of the nervous system. In the
cases of Bryan and Roosevelt, the
things most calculated to derange their
nerves are those which react upon these
