The newspaper man, says an obsery-
ant exchange, seldom gets credit for the
blunders he avoids or the mistakes of
others he silently corrects. But he is al
ways sure to hear about his oversights,
his errors or his lapse of memory. And
yet 1t may be he is no more unfortunate
than other toilers who labor for the bene-
fit of others.
Fish Warden Hiram Brown has re-
ceived from W. +. Meehan, State Com
missioner of Fisheries, letter stating
that the current report that only ten bass
day may be caught by one fisherman is
not exactly correct. There is such law
but ii applies only to Lake Erie. 1t was
generally thought that the law related to
all eams.-Franklin News.
The pure food law does not permit
the outside display of perishable goods,
especially those displayed in front of
grocery stores, unless they are enclosed
in case which will not permit of flies,
dust, ETC., getting on them. Products

Too much exercise is as bad as none
at all. When taken to the extent of abso-
lutte fatigue, it does more harm than good.
Old people especially, often injure them
selves in this way, particularly if they
have kept up active habits all their lives.
They will not realize that they are getting
weaker with every year and that the
amount of exercise which, at one time
was necessary and proper, may now be
excessive.

Harry Kelly. a genius of Eastville,
Pa, has forwarded to Washington an ap-
plication for a patent on a lunch box
which he claims will do away with the
littering up of picnic grounds and pre-
clude the necessity of Juggling around an
empty basket after the lunch is eaten, 1t
is to be made of the same material as ice
cream cones, and the picnickers, after
eating the lunch, are expected to eat the
lunch basket also.
Dog days began on the 22d inst. and
will continue until the latter part of Au-
gust. A great many people are under the
impression that these days are so called
because dogs go mad during this period,
but this is not the case. Dog days date
back to the ancients and are called by
this name on account of the dog star ST.
rius rising at the same time as the sun.
The time differs slightly each year but
the changes can always be found in the
almanac.
State Game Commissioner Kalbfus
declares the rain bow trout from Califor-
mia are driving the native trout out of the
streams of Pennsylvania and that there
is grave danger of Pennsylvania trout
becoming extinct. The commissioner
also sharply criticises the practice of
placing trout fry in streams, saying that
fingerlings, or short trout, should be put
in. They have more chance to grow.
And that's what any sensible sportsman
knows who has given the matter a little
attention.

people with your Importance. lfyou are

whom they come in contact. This means
that they are able to judge you and place
a true rather than false estimate on
your abilities,
