The Commission has reioid- mended this reductlon.
 Monnta.n II Sheep.
 Present regug Itions permit q non~ resident hunter to take three noun oaln sheep north of the Arctic Circle. However, due to the scarcity if this animals in certain portions of the re gions north of the Circle, the Canl- mission is recommending that the limit be reduced to two, thereby mak ing the nonresident bag limit uniform throughout the Territory.

ELTx; I'M ENDATIONS MADE
 BY ALASKA COMMISSION AT
 RECENT SESSION IN,JUNEAU

Continued From Page 1.) mulgated7 under the Alaska. Game Law for the year beginning, July |, 1928, are being recommended to the Secretary of Agriculture:
 Beaver.
 It. is the. desire of the Commission to maintain the breeding stock of beaver, at point where the heavy trapping of one or two seasons, will nob deplete the supply to the danger line leading to extermination.l With thls end in view, it is thought best to fsl.ow a period of one or two open .easons with a like period of closed saasons-@15
 Inforn atien received from those sections of the Territory where beaver wlre permitted to be trapped last year., together with the knowledge of the e-extraordinary large catches made aad the losses ensuing from the. talk ing of these animals by shooting, has -aused the Commission to fear that with the unknown outcome of the crescent years open season the danger lire is rapidly approaching. This con dition is beinng hastened by the ten tency of less experienced trappers to follow the line of least resistance and trap too closely those animals found iu the more readily accessible regions. m fact the lower reaches of some of the best beaver streams are now al most denuded of beaver. After care ful. consideration the Commission is recommending that the the beaver season be closed for the year 1929.
 Muskrats.-
 Recommendations received from. persons residing in fur district Mo- 3 indicate that the present open season on muskrats closes too soon after the breakup to allo wa. normal catch of these animals to be made. To correct this condition the Commission is rec ommending that the season be permit ted to remain open few days longer. The same condition is found in the Panama river region in fur district No. ?, and a similar recommendation is being made.
 Mink
 Recommendation of residents and available records of belts taken indi- cate that the supply of mink in fur district No. 3 has become so depleted as tto justify a recommendation for the closing of the mink season in this district.
 Black Rear
 Petitions and recommendation from residents of that part of fud; district No. 2 north of the Alaska range and Ahklun mountains ask that the protection now given black bear through the closed season from June 20.to September be removed. These recommendations and petitions are based on the damage being done to the supply of game animals by the
The Kusko times., 1928-04-07

black bear killing young moose and caribou caves. The Commission rec ommends that there be no closed sea- son on black bear in that part of fur district No. 2 north of the Alaska range and Ahklun mountains.
 Permits to Capture Fur-Bearers-
 That the fur farms of the Territory may benefit from the sale of domesti- cated ur-bearers for breeding stock, she Commission will hereafter not ssue any permits for the capture of ur-bearers for propagation purposes where these animals are to be re- moved from the Territory. Few per mits of this nature have been issued, but the increasing demand for breed ing stock of Alaskan strains has has caused the Commission to- adopt this policy.
 Some confusion seems to exist in the interpretation of the present reg ulations where person desires to re- tain alive for propagation purposes such animals as are caught during the regular open trapping season. Ami mals may be iaptured and retained alive during the regular open season, but it is necessary to obtain a permit to retain them after the close of the open season. Such permits may. be secured upon application to the aexecu- tive office of the Commission
 Big Game.
 It has long been known that Alaska permitted as large or larger bag limit of big game to nonresident hunters than may be taken in many of the big game fields of the world. Many big game hunters and other non-residents visiting the Territory during the past few years have rec commended that Alaska reduce the bag limit of non-residentsvisiting.1 nm f limit of big game allowed non-resi- dent hunters.
 Hunters visiting the Alaska Penin- sula and other western regions during the past year have been disappointed in their efforts to secure a desirable trophy of that much desired animal which is found only in Alaska, the large brown bear. Guides and other residents of that region who benefit from the thousands of dollars spent annually by nonresident hunters searching for this much-desired tro- phy, have recommended reduction in the bag limit of three now permitted. That this westward region might maintain it's supply of large brown and grizzly bears, the Commission recommends that the bag limit be re- duced to two on the Kenai and Alaska peninsulas and the Kodiak-Afognak island group.
 Moose.
 That the small number of moose now found in the region south of Ili- anna lake might be permitted to in- crease, the Commission is recommend ing that the season be closed for an indefinite period on the Alaska Pe- ninsula south of Iliamna lake. \ Caribou.

Diet For Baby
 IS Important
Always Should Be Chosen
 by Doctor.

When baby IS under -nourlshed it generally IS evidenced by his fail ure to gain weight. or other signs of physical distress.
 It is important to see that a baby's food is sufficient for his needs in quality as we'll as quan- tity. In his food he needs the sub stances that build up bone. mus cle. heart. lungs, brain. and all the other parts of his body. Tsat is why it is all important to keep up baby's feeding under doctors supervision if possible. especially if the baby is artificially fed. and if he appears to be undernourish- ed. If a doctor cannot be had. there are excellent books on baby feeding that will be of help.
 Avoid Oyer-Feetling
 A lot of food of the .wrong kind IS as bad for a child if not worse. than too little food. for his unde- veloped digestive organs cannot take care of it.
 Insufficient sleep often is q cause of malnutrition. Food will not digest if a child is over-tired or nervous. His hours of sleep must be sufficient and regular
