Shortening Bird Season.

Pennsylvania is the latest of the
states TO take up the question of short
er open seasons on game birds. and
good reasons for curbing the activities
OF hunters arc presented in statement
of the game commission now being sent
to individuals and sporting associa-
tions.
Birds are being exterminated under
the present laws, and the remedy pro-
posed is in restricting the season TO
one month and changing the date until
the birds are full-grown and better
able to take care of themselves.
What particular hardship would
there be in ordering a close season for
two, three or five years and then seeing
that the law is rigidly enforced? Quail
and other game birds need more pro
lection than the existing laws have
given them, and If all the states would
agree upon an adequate program of
conservation the country would be
benefited by the saving of the food
products now destroyed by insects

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-R00t. Dr.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
tion, 0vercomes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence Of kidney trouble
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp.
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DIR. Kilmer's prescription used in pri.
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
