 Minnesota has shortened the open sen son on game birds and reduced the bag limits.
 Oklahoma furnishes game wardens with resident hunting licenses in books of 9 each, and these the wardens sell. In Pennsylvania, in 1917, licenses were issued to 3l5,474 persons, the greatest number of hunting licenses ever granted in one year ill any state.
 All shore birds, with the exception Of Jacksnipe, are protected throughout the year in California.
 Records compiled of the 9S1 deer killed in Vermont last year show that the avsr- age weight of the buck was 172 pounds. Jurisdiction has been ceded to tho United States over that part of Yellow stone Park that is in Montana.

Calome1 makes you sick: you lose a days work. Calomel Is quicksilver and 1t salivates; calomel injures your liver:
 If you are bilious feel lazy. sluggish and all knocked out. if your bowels are constipated and your head aches or stomach Is sour. just take spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone instead of using sickening. salivating calomel. Dodson's Liver Tone Is real liver medicine. You'll know it next morning because you will wake up feeling fine. your liver will be working, your head ache and dizxiness gone. your stomach will bo eweet and bowels regular. You will feel like working. You'1 be cheer fuJ: full of vigLf and ambition.
