Game Warden Ends
Taxidermy Raid

Thirty-siX birds, more or less indif-
ferently mounted by persons who have
taken correspondence instruction from
the west in taNidermy, reached the
office of the State Game commission
this morning and illustrate the manner
in which the law is violated. No one
can kill or mount protected birds with
out State authority and their sale is
prohibited in Pennsylvania. The lot
was confiscated in Blossburg.
This collection, which was sent by
Or. Kalbfus to the State Museum, in
cluded a number of birds OF great
value to farmers. which had probably
been killed by some one ignorant of
the destruction and it's effect and also
unaware of the laws provisions.
In the lot were the rose breasted
grosbeak, one of the most valuable
insect destroyers: woodcock. cedar
waXwing, screech owl, Baltimore ori-
ole, scarlet tanager shore bird. snowy
bunting, ruffed grouse, quail, turtle
dove. chestnut warbler. which was on
it's nest; red headed woodpecker. the
taXidermist having killed the bird and
all of its young; yellow bellied wood
pecker and hairy woodpecker.
DR.. Kalbfus and State Zoologist Sur
face said that they had never known
as complete a collection of valuable
birds to the farmer to be gathered up.

QUIT MEAT WHEN

No man or woman who eats meat

strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood.
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nerv-
BUSINESS, dizziness, sleeplessness and uri-
nary disorders come from sluggish kid
neys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or il
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in a few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate the kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.-Ad

Special Masses Feature
Lent at the Cathedral

During the lenten season the follow
ing program of religious functions is
being observed at st. Patrick's Cathe-
dral:
Throughout the week there will be
masses every morning at $50 anu 8
O'Clock. Evening services will be held
twice a week, namely, rosary, sermon
and benediction, Wednesday, and sta
tions of the cross. with benediction,
Friday evenings, at 1.45 O'Clock.
Sunday, February 81, a special se-
ries of spiritual exercises, usually
known as a mission. will open in the
cathedral at the high mass, 1910 a. M.
These exercises will continue to March
q They will be conducted by the Rev.
Albert j. Stern. of New York, a we'll
known missionary and a companion of
the Redemptorist Order.
During this time the morning serv-
ices will be as above noted for week
days of Lent and in addition there will
be a sermon and instruction every
evening at 7.45.
The objects of q mission, as ex-
planned on the leaflets distributed in
the cathedral on the subject, are to
arouse the lukewarm to a life OF
fervor, "In spirit fervent, seeking the
Lord" (Rom. xii, 11); to encourage
those who are in sin to make their
peace with God, "a contrite and
humble heart. o Lord, thou wilt not
despise" Cps. 8, 19), and to reclaim
those who have grown careless in the
practice OF their religion, who have
chosen strange gods.' in the form OF
vices, to whom they give their wor-
ship, in place of the God who created
and afterward redeemed mankind
In his invitation the Rev. NJ. NJ. Has
sett SAYS: ITO all of these classes the
message of the mission may be
summed up In these words of Holy
Writ: Delay not to be converted to
the Lord, for His wrath shall come
on a sudden. and ih the time Of ven
geance He will destroy thee (Eccl.
V. 81. But at the same time those well
disposed to reform their lives are en-
couraged to do so by such familiar
examples of Gods kindness to repent
ant sinners. as may be noted in the
parallels of the lost sheep and the re-
turned prodigal. All who feel a wish,
therefore. to amend their lives or to
increase their fervor are invited to as
sist at his ten-day mission. with the
assurance that if they but cooperate
with the grace of God It shall profit
them unto everlasting life

Republicans Declare Ship
Purchase Measure Is Dead
By Associated Press

Washington, d. c., Feb. 19.-The
Senate to-day began consideration of
the appropriation bills. the govern
ment ship purchase bill having gone
TO conference. there to remain until
February 81.
In the meantime, in accordance with
the agreement between the Senate
Democratic leaders and the Repub-
licans. the big supply measures are to
be taken uD and pressed to passage
in order to avoid an extra session of
Congress. The first of the appro-
priation bills to come up to-day was
the legislative. executive and judicial
bill.
The understanding was brought
about as the result of the failure of
the Democratic leaders to get a vote
on the shipping bill. The Republicans
have given assurances that they will
not filibuster against the appropriation
measures.
In the event that the shipping bill
when it emerges from conference on
February % is still unsatisfactory to
the Republicans. they probably will
renew their filibuster and kill the
measure. The Republicans now insist
| that the bill is dead. Leaders believe
there will be no extra session of Con-
| gress.

Cabinet Says Situation
Is Not as Threatening
as Had Been Reported

Washington. Feb. 19.-After the
cabinet meeting to-day, is was said. it
was considered that the situation be-
tween Germany and the United States
was not at all threatening and that
the administration had no fear that
any American ship would be sunk.
The suggestion of Germany in the
latest note to the United States that
means be found for identifying and
safeguarding American ship venturing
into the war zone was understood to
have been taken up. 1t was agreed
however. that the American govern
ment has no authority to order ships
to adopt such measures as taken in
Holland and the Scandinavian coun-
tries which include the painting of
the nationality of the ship in large
letters on each side.
1T was understood, however, that
inquiries will be sent to Maritime in
surance companies to learn if any
measures are contemplated for iden-
tifying neutral ships.
