Demand For Rabbit Skins

In recent years several kinds .!
fur, formerly of so lits!s value
as to offer no inducement to the
trapper, have been raised in
price, and consequently collect
ing them has been made profit
able. Rabbit pelts, which are ex-
tensively used by hat makers,
are among these products. One
eastern concern has announced
that it will need 100000 rabbit
skins during 1919 and 1920, and
it desires as far as possible to Sc
cure them from American sources
This is an Indication Of a market
which should interest many a
farmer boy. This fall and winter
dried, cased rabbit skins will pro-
ably bring reasonably good re-
turn. They are sold by the
pound which will contain seven
or eight skins. Many farm boys
can readily acquire, in the course
of the winter, large numbers Of
skins which will net them a tidy
sum and, in addition, they will
have the pleasure of trapping
experience. The United States
Department Of Agriculture viii
supply any inquirer with the
names and addresses of possible
purchasers of rabbit skins and
other pelts.

Weekly Health Talks

BY DOCTOR WATSON.

Il
Al People are easily frightened when
they think something is the matter with
their lungs or heart, and well they
may be-; but few people understand
the dangers Of diseased kidneys. These
organs have a duty Of vital Importance
20 perform, and If they are diseased,
there ID no telling how or where the
symptoms may appear. The kidneys
are filters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify it. When the kidneys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one Of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in the form Of urate
salts in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back - often forming bags under the
Eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
Is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's
disease. ~ H,.A NV
DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that q certain COM
bination Of remedies would dissolve uric
acid urate salts) in the system. He
iound this combination to be harmless,
20 that he made it up in tablets,
Of double strength, and called them
Anuric Tablets. They dissolve uric
acid in the human system as hot coffee
dissolves sugar. If you have uric acid
troubles, don't delay in taking Anuric
Tablets, which can be secured in the
drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you what 70 eat
and how to live so that more uric ACID
will not form in your system. DR.. Pterce
will not charge for this advice.

HY BEATRICE Fairfax

There comes a day in the life of
every bachelor when he stops to
think about his mistakes of omis-
sion and commission, and he be-
comes Il bit uneasy in his mind.
The time for these reflections is
apt to be the chill morning hour
when he is sparring with the razor
~2r the stubble at the left of his
right ear. And the young day shows
every wrinkle-not to mention
a budding second chin.
And the bachelor thinks about the
girl he did not marry, and who
eventually married his best friend.
At the time of their wedding the
bachelor was not little proud
that he had escaped the moose; and
his feelings, as he threw handfuls
of rice after the departing pair,
were the congratulatory emotions
of a man whose single racer has
just escaped a collision on the high
road.
lie liked the girl immensely, but
long ago a certain couplet of Rud-
yard Kipling had made a deep i'm
preston on his mind, and he had
made it the first article of his
bachelors creed.
Down to Gehanna, or up to the
lie travels the fastest who travels
alone"
So he had steeled his heart
against what he was pleased to re-
gard as her feminine tricks" He
had not been aVerSe to Il well-re-
gulated Irritation, in fact, he was
not a little proud of his strategic,
skill in that direction. He had en-
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-05-01

manager and had great social gifts
besides.
And he is conscious of a sort of
defrauded feeling as he looks back
through the vista of many hollow
years in the raw light of an early
spring morning. Years that he has
spent as a professional bachelor"
regarding all women with a dis
trustful eye, and making them un-
derstand, in q hundred little ways,
that while he is willing to do the
right thing in flowers, candy and
theater tickets, he is first, last and
at all times matrimonially i'm
mune.
For the professional bachelor"
differs in kind from the bachelor
by-accident, or the bachelor-by-ne-
cessity. The "P. b." is not, as we
say, susceptible" and, conceiving
hunter, he sees to it that she knows
Immediately upon introduction that
his motto is Hands off,
No Longer Eligible
Well, our friend, the professional
bachelor" has escaped them all,
and he is now in the early forties,
and mothers no longer regard him
as an eligible party. He still
dances, and he is still a desirable
causes fiutterings-h is out of the
running.
And still, curiously enough, he is
as far away from that great goal
of success as he was when he had
Jost left college. and quoted so
gayly: Down to Gehenna, etc. =
Other fellows, less prudent, who
took chances and got married
seemed to have travelled a good deal
farther along the high road to sue
cess. And suddenly it begins to
dawn on our crafty friend that a
wife is an asset rather than a liza
bility, and that this travelling
alone business is a delusion and an
expensive delusion. And by the
time one has finished keeping up
ones position as professional
bachelor" there is mighty little left
in the bank.
And that women, apart from their
malign gifts as sirens, Delilahs and
temptresses, generally speaking,
have quite extraordinary ability in
managing a mans affairs and rak-
ing chestnuts out of the fire for him,
when his own hands prove too
clumsy for the business. And that,
all said and done, being yoked to
one woman is really more satisfac-
tory than philandering about with
a-dozen.
Hitching Post VS.. Loose Rein
BY the time our friend the pro-
fessional bachelor" has finished
shaving and noted with alarm that
in addition to the wrinkles, his hair
is getting quite thin on the temples,
and that nobody really loves him
And he wishes, with all his selfish
ossified old heart, that he had never
heard of Rudyard Kipling and that
silly rot about Down to Gehenna
ETC.
Then joyously, he remembers, as
an antidote, that someone else has
said: "A hitching post is much bet
ter than loose rein" And with this
in mind, the "P. B." rushes off and
marries in a panic the first woman
who will accept him.
And every one wonders why, and
the answer is-the effect of the chill
light of a spring morning on his
noble cOllntenDnpa ha Sh1VeS
