FISHING
BY TOM MARSHALL.

Question When the all-American
team of wing shots were shooting in
London did the English shoot two shots
at every target thrown to one shot for
the Americans? Were the traps and
angles the same as we shoot here?
Indianapolis. FIT. Il.
Answer. The. team of Great Britain
was permitted to use both barrels, If
found necessary to break the target,
while the American team was limited
to one shot. To be more explicit, we
were shooting American trapshooting
rules: the team across the water was
shooting under English rules. This was
one of the original conditions of the
match. The traps used and angles
thrown were the same as in our trap
shooting here, aside from the fact that
targets were thrown at very abrupt
angles. Three traps were set in front
OF each score or Is traps in the bait
terry But one shot was fired from a
position; hence 25-bird event required
five positions. 1t is. my inten-
ton to run a series of arti-
cles in this paper on the American
team abroad, which will cover accurate
information and amusing incidents OF
the trip.
Question. Is black powder being used
at the traps? Do you think black pow
der is preferable for field shooting?
GEORGE FRANKLIN.
San Antonio, Texas.
Answer. Black powder is barred from
tournament work use or at the traps. II
is not especially desirable from any
angle where smokeless powder can be
had The latter powder is preferable
from every angle, recoil and pounding Is
obviated and that soft coal'' or bar
rage effect removed. Regardless of ad
vice of the uninitiated you purchase
and use smokeless powder

Nature Gives a Cry for Help,
That Will Make This Winter
assessor of Good Health
for You. p

Winter and Catarrh are COM
panions in evil. Catarrh is
sweeping civilization from one
continent to another, because
civilization does not follow Ma
lures laws. Nature tells us
what to do and we pay no heed.
Down deep in the body Of
man lie streams of blood, going
everywhere and making a COM
plete circuit Of the body every
few seconds. In these rivers,
brooks and streanlets of blood
flow millions Of little soldiers
called corpuscles, whose duty it
is to heal hurts, expel the enc
mics of man-germs-from the
body and carry away impurities.
Nature, with the blood, builds
bone and hair and teeth and
flesh. She does this so quickly
and with such absolute perfec-
ton that if we put into our
mouths and stomachs the things
the body needs, nature will distil1
her own chemicals and build up
any torn-doWn portions.
Catarrh is a tearing down Of
mucous membranes. A mucous
membrane is one of the won
ders of science. 1t does the i'm
portant work of the body in some
lines. When it becomes diseased

of the nose and throat. These
membranes cannot do their work

ties form and choke them. Decay
starts, unpleasant odors arise
gradually it spreads until the
membrane is almost worthless
Then we learn the fault is with
the blood. There is too much
work for the corpuscles to do
not enough to do it. They need
help.
Placing salves and lotions il
the nose, and taking pills, pow
ders and purgatives will not give
nature what she needs. She
