TERRApiN TRAPS.

The terrapin hunters have adopted
a new method for catching terrapln,

device Is a trap constructed about on
the same principle as the eel pot. The
body OF the trap Is constructed OF
wire and the entrance Of Irvine. so
woven that the terraplns easily enter,
but find II impossible to get out. The
r trap Is then filed with bait, for the
most part crushed crabs, and set in
the marsh where terraplns have been
located The terrapn hunter walks
through the marsh and discovers his
game by the protruding heads, as the
terrapins are compelled to come to the
surface to breathe. Many OF them are
drowned in these traps, and one
hunter states that he has seen twenty

three hours, and thus the hunter must
be on the move constantly II he would
preserve his game alive. Terrapins
are also being caught In pure nets,
but these cannot be used in shallow
streams successfully on account Of
the numerous stumps Of trees on the
bottom. One hunter made a large
haul with fyke some weeks ago. He
saw a large number Of terrspin going
up a narrow marsh stream and knew
that 1t was useless to follow them at
once on account of the numerous deep
holes which rendered the ter.apin
practically safe from pursuit. He
therefore stopped up the stream with
the exception Of one narrow outlet in
which he placed his fyke. Night after
night he waited patiently for the ter.
rapin to come down. At length one
night there came O heavy rain, and
the terrapin came down with a rush
so that he caught more Of them then
he had caught at one time for many
years.-Baltimor Sun.

Of considerable therapeutic interest
is the discovery announced by Lord
Blythswood that the waters at Bath.
England, contain a considerable charge
of radioactive gas. This leads to the
interesting question whether their me-
dicinal value may not be entirely due
10 this gas. The fact that the activity
of the gas decreases rather rapidly,
as has been shown by Professor Ruth
erford of Montreal, may account for
the general opinion that these waters
land those Of other spas possess much
greater efficacy when used on the spot;
as if their value is due to the radia-
tons, obviously when these have all
been given off, as would happen before
they could be sent any distance, the
waters would cease to have any medi-
cinal value. A study of other spa
waters in the light of these expert
ments will be of great interest

Mr.. Rockefeller's Offer Should Be I
Warning TO Every Man and Woman.

-. The newspapers and medical journals
recently have had much to say relative to
John D. Rockefeller's offer of million
dollars for new stomach. -
This great multi-millonaire was too busy
to worry about the condition ofhis stomach.
He allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad
toworse until in the end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as warning to
others. r. .> =. .
Everyone who suffers with dyspepsia for
few years will give everything he owns
for a new stomach.
There are twenty million men and women

any price.
We offer these sufferers the next best
thing. We guarantee to make their old
stomachs almost as good as new.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal state
of the gastric juices. There is one element
missing. The absence of this destroys the
function of the gastric fluids. They lose
their power to digest food.
We are now able to supply the missing
element-to restore to the gastric juices
their digestive, power, and to make the
stomach strong and well.
We know that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
will positively and permanently cure. We
want you to try them and will return your
money if you are not more than satisfied
with the result.
