There is m,re Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable For
a great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
eur with local treatment, pronuneed
it incurable. SCIENCE has prov en-
catarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Hairs Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case if it fails to cure. Send

NEW FISH LAW

This morning in the Senate Bill
No. 6S, Introduced by Senator Miles,
for the protection and preservation
of the fish in the streams and lakes
of this section, was passed. The
new law makes a number of
changes in the old law and will be
o. interest to the Waltons Of Ne
vada. The main idea of the bill
is to further protect the fish and
prevent The unlawful catching of
them. To close the season when
the fish are spawning.
Last season on the Trurkcc River
tons of fish were taken from that
stream at the time then they were
heavy with spawn. The bill aims
to prevent a repetition Of this
useless waste of fishlife that in the
end more people can enjoy fishing
legally and honestly. An amend
meat was proposed, opening the
Truckee River at the time the fish
we're running up the stream to
spawn. The amendment was lost as
it should be. The Truckee River is
a great Stream but there are
other streams in Nevada that need
as much consideration and rrotec-
ton, which the new law provides
for.
The bill provides for a closed
season between the sixteenth day
Of october and the thirtieth day
of April. In other words the
season for fishing is from the first
of May until the sixteenth day of
October. giving the angler a
'hance at the stream with rod and
line at the time when the streams
r at their best. The dates are
set for the protection Of the fish
and not the benefit Of the angler
who would takesfsh heavy withcggs.
The law prevents the trapping,

pounds of fish may be taken in one

nothing in the Act shll prevent the

Folk of Missouri at the Bradley
Opera house on the evening of

Nothing was said by former
Governor Folk, of Missouri, here last

could not as well have been said by
many another man. What gave
Folks words their weight was the
achievements of the man behind
them. While many mon have been
bearers and savers of the word of
civic righteousness here has been a
doer of them. Here is a man;
there are mere sounding brasses
and tinkling cymbals.
Most people assent that it pays to
be good honest. decent, and upright
So sure are they of the return that
they are willing to defer making
the investment until the very last
moment.
They also assen to the fallacy

zed selfishness and the sure defense

perfectly discharged functions of

causes are the penalties we all pay
