New Forest Fire Fighting Law.
Does Away With Old Plan-Provides for
Fire Wardens.

A new law which is OF interest to
every one, because of the many for
est fires, which have taken place
during the past few years is about
to be put in force in this State.
Heretofore constables have acted
in the capacity of fire wardens, and
have been directed and paid for
their services through the county
commissioners, but under the new
act all this is changed. In the near
future fire wardens will be appoint
ed in every township and borough
in the State, and they will be paid
one-fifth by the county in which
they serve and four-fifths by the
State. These wardens will report
to the Forestry Department on
specially prepared blanks. Follow
ing are some of the important sec
tions of the new act which was ap-
proved May I3, 1909, by Governor
Stuart.
The Commissioner of Forestry
shall appoint in each borough and
township in this Commonwealth, If
in his judgment necessity exists for
such an appointment, a suitable
and competent person, who shall be
known as the district fire warden.
Whenever fire is discovered in or
approaching woodlets, forests, or
wildlands, whether the same be
owned by individuals, corporations
or by the Commonwealth, it shall
be the duty of fire wardens, imme-
diately to take such measures as are
necessary for the extinguishment of
the fire. He shall have the author
ity to employ such other person as,
i'll his judgment, may be necessary
to render assistance in extinguish-
lug the fire; and whenever it is not
otherwise possible for him to secure
sufficient number of persons to
assist in distinguishing the fire, he
is hereby given the power and au
thority to compel the attendance of,
and the rendering Of assistance by
persons, in the extinguishing of
the fire under the penalties pre-
scribed in this act. The district
fire warden, while engaged in per-
forming the duties imposed by this
act, shall receive as compensation
IS cents per hour and his actual
necessary expenses incurred and
the persons so employed, or COM
PEELED to assist the warden, in the
extinguish nent of fire, shall receive
as compensation for their services
Is cents per hour.

Orders to Game Wardens.
Based On the New Fish and Game Law.

Local game wardens received
orders recently to cover the re-
quirements of the new laws about
hunting in the woods. The laws
are a bit changed from former
enactments and it will be we'll for
the local people to study them just
a bit. One thing that many of our
residents need to know is that the
person not born on the soil of the
Uuited States or under its jurisdic- =
ton and unnaturalized may not
hunt under any conditions. If you
are all unnaturalized resident, bet
ter take out your old gun and
throw it away. 1t will surely get
you into trouble if you keep it
about the house. The fever will
come over you and you will go out
to hunt Then a game warden will
find you and you will pay enough
to take trip to Coney Island and
Atlantic by-the-Sea.

n people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would be no
use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines Will
cure disease. Medicines may pslliste
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers Of Nature TO resist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse the efforts Of the
human body to right itself against de-
rangements. This is the most that med
icine can do.

People eat unwisely. This produces

gestion can be mitigsted, the throes ol

not be said to have cured. 1t simply
palliates dissgreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is cure for dyspepsia,
But Peruns will stimulate the stomach

M will increase the fiow Of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot

It is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
are SO many people who either will moi
or do not know how to eat correctly that
q tremendous amount Of good can be
done by the wise use Of Peruna.
