OF INTEREST TO HUNTERS.
New Game Law of State Explained
by Conservation Commissioner.

4 Z +, 2
No game birds can be sold at any
time, at any place or under any con-
ditions, according to the new federal
migratory game bird law, as explain
ed by M. l.. Alexander, state commls-
sioner of the department OF conserva-
ton. A misunderstanding as to the
meaning Of this new law prompted
Mr.. Alexander to make the explana-
tion.
"There is nothing in the federal
law affecting game animals" said
Commissioner Alexander, therefore
rabbits can be sold in the open mar
ket at any time. Raccoons, squirrels
and opossums can be sold during the
open season"
Commissioner Alexander went on
to say there is nothing in the federal
regulations prohibiting sportsman
owning state hunting license from
giving to his friends any
migratory game birds he might have
killed on hunting trip. But, 1t was
pointed out, this right must not be
taken advantage of as aameans OF
eyading the non-sale of game pro-
vision. Anyone caught in such q
practice will be liable to fine OF
$500.
Briefly, the federal law declares
| the following species to be migratory
game birds: Waterfowl, including
wild ducks and geese: and rails, IN
| Guiding the poule d'eau, gallinules
and marsh hens. OF the shore birds
only the sna,h black-bellied and gold
len plovers I IA the greater and lesser
yellow legsasan be shot for sport, the
. other species of shore birds being
protected.
| Ducks also are declared to be game
birds which can be hunted in proper
season, while among the LoulsIans
ducks there is, only one. specie which
may not be eMked, and that is thu
wood duck ore anfhu, which is pro
|tected under a. sfSleral law for fv'
years. The wooaiock must not b
hunted until 1925sither, and hunter
found with either of these birds IL
their possession will suffer heav.
Ipenalty.
i The open season for hunting mlgra
tory game birds comedies with tn
state law, it being permissible to XII
ducks, geese, coots, rails, gallinule
and snipe, also yellow legs and plo1
, ers only from November to Januar
|31. The open season for doves
from September 16 to December 81.
The federal law prohibits the hum
ling Of wild fowl from an airplan'
. powerboat or boat under sail. TIL
! does not prohibit the hunter frol
!, shooting from pirogue or duck boa
however, or from using a blind on II
: lWater.

TREATMENT OF INFLUENZA.
Advice on Home Care of Sick by u.
S. Surgeon General Blue.

every person who feels sick and
appears to be developing an attack o.
Influenza" says the surgeon general,
Should at once be put in a we'll
ventilated room. If his bowels have
moved regularly it is not necessary
to give physic; where a physic is
needed dose of castor oil or Ro-
chelle salts should G3siven.
Sick Roan asnishings.
ssThe room sH ldsah cleared Of all
unnecessary ~ fture, brlc-a-brac,
and rugs. A wsa1hbasin, pitcher, and
slop bowl, soap, and towels sould be
at hand, preferably in the room or
Just outside the door.
eff the patient is feverish a doctor
should be called, and this should be
done in anfhcase If the patient ap-.
pears very 81 X or coughs up pinlzish
(blood-staineaI) sputum, on breathes
rapidly and painfully.
"Most of the patients cough up con-
siderable mucus; in some there IS
much mucus discharged from the nose
and throat. This material should not
be collected in handkerchiefs, but
rather on bits of old rags, or toilet
paper, or on paper napkins. AS soon
as used these rags or papers should be
placed in paper bag kept beside the
bed. Pocket handkerchiefs' are out
of place in the sick room, and should
not be used by patients. The rags or
papers in the paper bag should be
burned.
..The patients will not be hungry,
and the diet should therefore be light.
Milk, soft-boiled egg, some toast or
crackers, bit of jelly or jam, stewed
fruit, some cooked cereal like oat-
meal, hominy, or rice-these will SUIT
flee in most cases.
ssIt is advisable to give the sick
room good airing several times a
day. The patient should be well pro-
tected against cold and drafts and
then the windows should be opened
widely to let in the fresh air.
Gauze Mask for Nurse.
$50 much for the patient. It is
equally important to consider the per-
son who is caring for him. 1t is inn
portant to remember that the disease
| is spread by breeding germ-laden mat
ter spread into the air by the patient
in coughing or even in ordinary
breathing. The attendant should
therefore wear gauze mask over
| her mouth and nose while she is in
| the sick room. Such a mask is easily
made by folding a piece Of gauze
lfourfold, sewing a piece of tape at
the four corners, and tying the upper
iset of tapes over the ears, the lower wei
Iset around the neck
ssThe attendant should always
wash her hands with soap and water

iportant.
s.In closing, and lest Z be misunder.
stood, / wish to leave one word of
caution: II in doubt, call the doe.

Indiana County Attacks Its Rats.

Morgan County, Ind, had more
rats and mice than it wanted, so ii
planned rat week" The purpose
was to start concerted attack on the
rats and mice in the week previous to
the storing Of grain. The county
agent advertised in the papers and en-
listed the. members Of, the United
States Boys Working Reserve. Re-
ports are incomplete, but the county
agent believes the number of rats had
been greatly reduced and consequent
|ly q large quantity of grain has been
saved. One boy reported that he
killed 81 rats and 393 mice. Another
killed "a rats, third 81, and fourth
l28.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY.
November 2 Fixed by Proclamation
Of Governor Pleasant.

The nations annual fire loss of ap-
two hundred and fifty
million dollars is nearly equivalent to
the interest upon six billion dollars
worth of Liberty bonds. 1t thus inn
pairs Americas financial resources at
time when war conditions call for
the utmost retrenchment and thrift.
Fire causes enormous direct de-
struction Of grain aid other food
stuffs in storage, as well as of cot
ton, lumber and a large variety of
other war supplies.
Fire cripples productive industry
engaged upon war orders to a far
greater extent than is generally rea-
lized. While causing a vast impair
ment in Americas fighting efficiency,
fire loss is, in the main, unnecessary.
Through the adoption of proper pre-
ventive measures and particularly
through the cultivation Of habits of
caref fulness, it could be greatly de-
creased. Fire prevention, therefore,
becomes the patriotic duty of eyeTyy
III
lIe co-op ton off newspapers,
churches, civic bodies, and particulars
I'LL Of school systems, win contribute
powerfully to this end. At many
points, fire prevention education has
Ibecome a Well-recognized feature in
school work. z'
Considering the foregoing facts,
I and the universal custom throughout
the United States Of fixing an annual
fire prevention day, 4, R. G. Pleasant,
governor Of the state of Louisiana,
do hereby name Saturday, November
u, 1918, as Fire Prevention Day in
the state Of Louisiana, and call upon
all interested organizations and citi-
zens to observe same.

the September Red Cross Magazine,
Horense Flexner tells the story of the
Second War Fund Campaign among
the miners in the mountains OF Ken
lucky. Harlan county raised six
times as much money as it was asked
to, and Miss Flexner tells the fol-
lowing amusing story OF Henry
Beaute, tone of the big Red Cross
workers for Harlan" to illustrate the
spirit with which the miners worked
in the campaign:
cat first Henry Beaute worked un-
der difficulties. This was because one
night he made a statement that some
body interpreted wrongly. Beaute
was arrested as a pro-German, tried
and released. But his feelings were
outraged and he asked to be used in
some special way on Red Cross Day,
to prove his loyalty. He was given
pledge cards which the miners were
to sign, and Beaute proved that be
was in earnest by getting every MAJ
at Tway to sign.

missioner, NJ. L. Alexander, had by
proclamation set aside the waters OF
Lake Peigneur, just outside of New
iberia, as state wild life refuge and
as resting place and propagating
water for wild water fowl. The
proclamation issued by the conserva-
tion commissioner states that from
now on it will be unlawful to hunt
on these waters and marks the first
step Of the new conservation pro-
gram to set aside certain waters and
lands in Louisiana as wild waterfowl
refugees that will act in conjunction
with the three hundred thousand
acres of preserves now located along
the guI Ifcoast in the parishes of Iberia,
ermil lion and Cameron which III

wide and has about twelve hundred
|acres of water surface, and located at
the base of the famous Jefferson Is
land, formerly known as Cote Car
line, the former home of America, )

into contract with the department
Of conservation to set aside one thou
sand acres of their holdings boarding
on Lake Peigneur, including Jeffer-
son Island as a wild life sanctuary
