Senate Bill No. 80, introduced by
Senator Wood, creates the new Board
Of Fish and Game Commissioners, pro-
vides for county deputy game wardens,
their duties. etc. The bill leaves the
game and fish license moneys in the
fund for propagation and protection OF
fish and game as at present. A rad
ical change In the issuance Of Licenses,
however, is noted. The Eill makes 1t
compulsory for the taking out Of a IL
cense for every county to to hunted or
flshed in by the applicant. whereas at
present one license is good for hunting
or fishing in all counties of the state.
1t is a question whether the county
License system as proposed in the bill,
will meet with general approval.

 She had followed the campaign of her husbands cousin, a young man with an insignificant title whom she had not married. In this moment she relived again the arrival of the eve ming papers; the dispatches, her hus- bands news of his cousin.

NO IDEA What Caused the Trouble.

T always drank coffee with the rest of the family, for it seemed as if there was nothing for breakfast if we did not have it on the table
 T had been troubled for some time with my heart, which did not feel right. This trouble grew worse steadily.
 Sometimes it would beat fast, and at other times very slowly, so that would hardly be able to do work for an hour or two after breakfast, and if I walked up hill, it gave me severe pain.
 T had no idea of what the trouble was until friend suggested that per haps it might be coffee drinking. tried leaving of the coffee and began drinking Postum. The change came quickly. am glad to say that I am now entirely free from heart trouble and attribute the relief to leaving of coffee and the use of Postum.
 "A number of my friends have aban- doned coffee and have taken up Post um, which they are using steadily. There are some people that make Postum very weak and tasteless, but If made according to directions, it is Q very delicious beverage" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
