New Game Law

There was one law passed by
the last Congress which attracted
very little attention, but which
will have sweeping results. This
law is one which will regulate the
hunting of migratory birds in all
parts of the country. Every
State in the Union was interested.
At the latt meeting held in Wash
ington to urge the passage of the
measure forty-four States were
represented aud all fought for the
law.
Some scientist has said that at
the present rate all the birds in the
United States would be killed off
within few year. He goes farth-
en- and makes the assertion that
after the birds are gone, if the
law does not protect them, the hu-
man race will become extinct in
America within nine years. This
wise man declares that the birds
live upon the insects which de-
stroy the crops and if they are not
protected the crops will not furn-
ish the human race with sufficient
food to exist.
This may be an extreme view of
the situation, but it is an undis-
putable fact that the birds in this
country are rapidly being killed
off. From the knowledge we
have of what they eat and how
little they destroy we may he as
sured that their extinction would
he a bad thing for the hu-
man race.
Again, If the Strengthening OF
the birds meant nothing in the
way of destroying the crops, there
is still another reason which would
warrant their preservation. The
hunter will be greatly benefited If
he is not allowed to "pot- shot"
migratory birds. The true sports
man prides himself upon making
difficult shots. Such hunters do
not slaughter birds. They always
give the game fair chance.
Indeed, it was the associations
of hunters which secured the pas
sage of the Weeks Mclean bill.
They realized that if the present
slaughter were allowed to go on
indefinitely they would soon have
no game to shoot. This law will
protect the birds to such an ex-
tent that they will he able to breed
and increase in numbers which

We should have some better
game laws here in Florida. The
Audubon Society is asking tho
Legislature to pass bill at a COM
ing session for the protection of
the robin. This bird is protected
in most oil of the States save Flori-
da. Here it is slaughtered by the
hunters, both natives and tourists.

Joseph w. Howe, NJ. D., Clint

Medical Department of the Uni.
versity of New York, Fellow of
ne New York Academy of Medi-
cine, etc., and an author of medi-
cal works, says of Florida:
"The climate of our American

siderable misrepresentation. 1t
has been alternately praised and
slandered-praised for its miIdness
and equability, blamed for its
swamps and malaria. Only with
in the past year or two has its
paramount claims as a pure,
balmy, health-giving climate been
fully established. Statistics by
careful and disinterested observers
have decided the truth of some
statements and the exaggerations
of others.
ut Is often said, for instance,
that malarial fevers prevail TO a
greater extent in Florida than in
other States, because the air is
constantly loaded with mephitic
valors. But the truth is that in
termittent and remittent fevers in
Florida are of a miltler type, run
their course quicker, and are at.

the case in any State in the Union.
These facts aro ascertained by
Surgeon-General Lawson, who
found that in the northern section
Of this country one in every fifty

SUFFER HEAVY LOSSESI
Bulgaria and servia About Rsady TO
Discuss Peace.

London, July 10.-The Bulgarians
are reported to have lost more men
killed in the fighting for the last few
days in the Kotchana and Ishtib dis
tricts than in the entire campaign
against the Turks Dispatches from
Sofia say that King Ferdinand Is
ready to discuss peace with Servia
and Greece. Servia, too, has suffered
terribly in the fighting, and her troops
are attacked by cholera. For this
reason it is believed that peace nego'
tiations will be begun without delay.
A conservative estimate Of the kill
ed or disabled in last weeks fighting
fixes the number at from 10000 to
100000. Thousands Of destitute refu'
gees from the scene Of the fighting
are pouring into Saloniki.
The Greeks have made wholesal5
charges against the Bulgarians OF
burning and pillaging the villages
they abandon and of committing muir
ders, mutilations and other horrors.

Use of Package Medicine
Shows Steady Growth

The use of poprietary or prepared med
icine is steadily increasing among all
classes of society; and this in spite of
the organized and well-6nanced fight of
the American Medical Association against
it. The reason is not far to seek. Pre-
pared medicine is simply one phase of
the standardizing process which is going
on in all lines of industry; and the pub
lie is growing better and better informed
in regard to health and the means of
securing and maintaining it.
People know more about themselves,
their bodies and functions, than they
ever did before; and why they are sick if
they become so. Prepared medicine has
standardized the treatment for a large
proportion of the ordinary ailments and
common ills. So that people do not feel
the need of calling in a doctor to tell
what is the matter with them when they
already knows or to charge them two
dollars for prescription when the same
or better one already compounded and
ready for use can be had for less than
half the money.
