it was necessary to pass a federal law
for protection Of migratory birds, till
they learned with amazement that
nearly half the states neglected or re-
fused to enact the necessary laws.
This was partly ignorance, partly
become obsolete in states where the
habits Of migration and breeding are
best understood, and where the temp
tation of weather blinds judgment less.
But it always has been practised in
| the states south OF the Ohio and Mis-
souri, where the northern migration
begins about the time of mating and
the time and distance to the middle
| state nesting and breeding grounds
are short.
This practice vas %ruinous to propa-
| cation of game and song birds. The
federal law was enacted mainly to put
an end to it, and Is under vicious pop
| ular and legal attack in the southwest
mainly to n~erpetuate It.
The protection Of migratory species
Is at. stake, as the propagation Of buff
falo was ruined by the building Of rail
roads acros their annual path without
state or federal law to prohibit hunt
ing on the spring march. The in
| discriminate slaughter Of song or
game birds in the mating and nesting,
and up to the very edge OF the breed
ing season on the border of their
winter habitat will soon thin and final

The Gold Spoon No Mascot.

no real estate and no prospective

How to Overcome
a Bad Constipation
There IL n Mild Laxative That Wilaf
Bring Safe and Pleasant Relief
Over Night.

1t is only natural that the simplest Of
ailments should be the most general,
and so we have a whole nation suffer-
ing from constipation and indigestion,
for they are closely allied. But COM
mon as constipation is many people do
not seem to know they have it. They
Will complain of headache, drowsiness
or biliousness, all unconscious OF the
cause of the trouble.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once a day. If you
pass a day you are constipated, the
result will be that you will catch a
cold easily or have a more serious all
ment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble AXE a
dose of DR.. CaldWells Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morning
relief will come, without disturbance
from sleep or any Inconvenience.
Legions of people use it regularly in
such emergencies, some of them for
merly chronic invalids who had suffer-
ed from constipation all their lives.
Mrs. N. FrantZ, 81 Eighth St, Salem.
Ohio, took physics for years, and, worst
of all, without much avail. Finally,
h began to take DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin and today she Is no longer
troubled and eats what she likes. Many
others will tell you that they have
tried most things recommended for this
purpose but have found Syrup Pepsin
the only one always reliable. A bottle
can be obtained at any drug store for
fifty cents or one dollar, the latter size
being bought by families already fam
iliar with its merits.

If there il any interstate commerce
