NOT WORTH THE CANDLE

The cunning season in the Eastern and
Middle States opened this year in character
istic fashion. The earliest items Of news
respecting it reported several fatalities from
the 'accidental' discharge of guns, and the
summary ending of the season by proclama-
ton of the Governor of Massachusetts, on ac-
count of the number Of forest fires that had
already occurred. These episodes were only
few among many circumstances which
raise serious questions as to the economy, the
propriety and the practical common sense
of maintaining the present game-law system
in the densely populated parts of the coun.

what are euphemistically termed "accl-
dents' in the hunting. field: In nine cases
out of ten these accidents are the result
of ignorance or carelessness so gross as to
indicate unfitness to be entrusted with fire.
arms. The average so-called sportsman in
the metropolitan district and elsewhere
through these crowded industrial and resi-
dental regions is a novice in the use OF guns.
He engages in the sport for only few days
in a year, not long enough to become ia
miliar with his gun or rifle, or to gain the
proficiency and confidence which are the
best assurance against accidents" 1t is
a dangerous thing to permit any man who
wants one to get permit to take a shotgun
or rife and go out Unfortunately blazing
away in a densely populated community.
AS for the forest fires, it has long been
notorious has been officially reported
in some states-that the great majority OF
them are started by hunters, in one of three
ways. Some are caused by bits of burning
gun-wadding falling among dry leaves. Some
are caused by gunners carelessly throwing
down lighted matches from their pipes or
cigars or failing to take proper precautions
with their camp-fres. Some are deliberately
started by gunners, to drive game from COW
erts into the open. From fires thus started,
the country incurs every year the destruc-
ton. Of many millions Of dollars worth of
property.
There are of course, parts of the country,
even extensive areas in some. Of the Eastern
states, where population is scarce, agricul-
tural improvements are few, and game ami
mails and birds are abundant Such areas
might properly be designated as game pre-
serves, and be under the control of judicious
laws for the conservation Of game. But the
maintenance Of game for gunners in densely
populated and highly cultivated suburban
and semi-suburban districts is a foolish
anachronism-Exc

STOMACH TROUBLES ARE DUE TO ACID|TY
Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief for z Acid Indigestion.

So-called stomach troubles, such as Indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach ache and inability to retain food, are in probably nine cases out of ten sim ply evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking place in the stomach. causing the formation of gas and acid indigestion.
 Gas distends the stomach and causes that full. oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and infiames the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the excess de- velopment or secretion of acid.
 To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and make it bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia. a good and ef- fective corrector of acid stomach. should be taken in quarter of a glass Of hot or cold water after eating or whenever gas, sourness or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few mo- ments and is a perfectly harmless and inexpensive remedy to use.
 An antiacid, such as bisurated mag nesia, which can be obtained from any druggist in either powder or tablet form, enables the stomach to do it's work properly without the aid of arti- iicial digestents. Magnesia comes in several forms, so be certain to ask for and take only Bisurated Magnesia, which is especially prepared for the above purpose.

BLAST HARBoR ICE TO
 BRING BARGES TO DOCK

Dynamite was in use by the Edward Chappell company Thursday afternoon to blast out the ice from in front of their dock on Central wharf but with out success in getting two barges of coal up to the dock where they could be unloaded.
 A tug which opened the river to this city Wednesday brought two coal barges Thursday for the Chappell company, but a fringe of heavy ice along the front of the dock made it impossible ito place the barges for un- loading. In that situation it was thought the ice might be broken lp with charge sef dynamite, but the ex- plosions only blew holes in the ice without cracking it out to any great distance.
 Ice of 12 inches in thickness was found in the harbor, frozen so solidly that it was a hard task for the tug to force way through
 The two barges that are waiting to be unloaded contain caroges of hard and soft coal.
