The heads of the various depart
ment mentioned were notified by the
Governor TO-DAY to take immediate
steps to tight the fires to the extent of
their ability.
This morning in the House a reso-
luton was presented by Mr.. Phillips,
Clearfield, calling on the Governor to
take the steps needed to meet the sit

ernor said. he approved of.
Regarding his conservation bill the
Governor said that he was in touch
with 4. r. Farquhar. j. Horace McFar-
land. John Birl,inbine and others in

views.
The letter of the Wild Life League
to the Governor was as follows:
Having received reports from many
of the counties of Pennsylvania detail
ing the enormous damage that is be-
ing done to growing timber, to the
present and future water supply and

the State. the Wild Life league of
Pennsylvania appeals to you as the
Governor of the Commonwealth to
authorize immediate and general ac-
tion looking toward the extinguishing
of these forest fires.
I'm almost all the mountain counties
and particularly along the rights of
way of the various railroads of the
State vast areas are being burned over,
the small fire-fighting force of the
Forestry Department being utterly in
adequate to cope with the emergency
in an effective way and every hour sees
property to the value of tens of thou
sands of dollars of young timber of
almost incalculable value and game
that can probably never be replaced,
destroyed.
We feel that every resource of the
Commonwealth should be called upon
to combat this evil. and we feel sure
in view of the exceptionally dry Spring
season which has greatly aggravated
the ordinary susceptibility of the
wooded sections to general fires, that
unless something is done at once in a
big way, the ultimate destruction of
property and wild life from forest
will be the greatest in the history OF
the State within the next ten days.
I'VE would pledge the aid and sup
port of the county organizations of
gency, and would respectfully urge
that the entire force of State police,
every available fish ami game protec-
tor and every deputy fish and game
protector, together with all available
employees of the forestry department
he Immediately called into active fire
fighting service in the districts where
fires are raging and that if necessary
even the home companies of the Ma
tional Guard be called out.
1--WE also respectfully suggest that
proclamation from Your EXcellency
asking all good citizens to turno out
and fight fires in their home localities
would bring thousands of volunteers
into this work. Trusting you will be
able to give your immediate and per-
sonal attention to the devising OF plans
for eXtinguishing these fires and pre-
venting any increase of the immense
damage already done, that you will
find an instant and ready response to
any call you may make on the citizen
rN of the Commonwealth and that in
the future adequate provision will be
made to prevent fires gaining such
headway as they have this past week
we remain,
Yours most respectfully,
The Wild Life League of Penna.,

MESSAGE OF JOY TO
CATARRHSUFFERERS
Hyomei Guaranteed by G. II. F0gg to
Relieve or Money Refunded

The popularity and increase in
sales of Hyomei here in Skowhegan
are unique in the annals of medicine.
Such astonishing successes have been
made by this remarkable remedy that
the proprietors have authorized G. r.
Fogg to sell every package of Hyomei
under an absolute guarantee that it
Will knock out catarrh for good If
it does not, the purchaser can have
his money refunded BY G. r. Fogg.
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy II
is pronounced the only method Of
treatment that sends by direct inhala-
ton to the most remote part of the
air passages, balsam.c air that de-
stroys all catarrhal germs in the
breathing organs. enriehes and puri-
fies the blood with additional ozone,
and gives permanent and complete re-
lief from catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit is in
expensive and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei The inhaler lasts life
time, and if one bottle does not cure,
an extra bottle can be obtained for
trifling sum. II is more economi-
cal than any remedy advertised for
the cure of catarrh. and is the only
treatment known to us that follows
nature in her methods of treating dis
eases of the respiratory organs. 2W5l
