STRIGTER LIS FOB
OF GAME ENACTED BY MANY STATES
240 New Game Laws Were Passed by Legislatures of the Various
States in 1915 Nine States Bring Closed Seasons Into Agree
ment With Federal Migratory Bird Law Four States Bar
Aliens Some Novel Features of State Game Laws.
Washington, D. C Moro than 240
new game laws wero enacted during
1916 a larger number than In any pro
vlous year except 1911, according to
Farmers' Hulletln C92, "Gamo Laws
for 1915." Forty-three states hold reg
ular legislative sessions, and in all
of these states except Arizona, Geor
gia and Nebraska somo changes woro
mado In the stututcs protecting gamo.
Tho largest number of now gamo laws
passed In any ono stnto was 01, in
North Carolina; but In California,
Connecticut, Maine, Now Jersey, Oro
gon, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin tho
number reached ten or moro. Sov
oral measures wero vetoed, Including
a general game bill in Idaho, tho tlrst
bill appropriating tho hunting llccnso
fund In Pennsylvania, a bill protecting
bears in California, and throo soctlons
of tho gamo bill In Washington. A
number of bills woro introduced for
tho purpose of harmonizing tho stato
laws on migratory birds with tho fed
eral regulations. In at least nlno
Btatos changes wore mado which
brought tho seasons into substantial
agrcoment, viz.: California, Con
necticut, Maine, Michigan, Now I lamp
shiro, Tcnnessco, and West Virginia.
In Illinois tho seasons for nil migra
tory birds oxcopt coot and waterfowl,
and in Washington for tho smaller
shoro birds, wero mado to conform
with tho regulations undor tho fed
eral law. Uniformity was also so
cured by provisions in tho laws of Con
necticut, Malno, Now Mexico, North
Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin,
prohibiting hunting between sunset
and sunrise. On tho othor hand,
Dclawaro adopted a resolution oppos
ing tho migratory-bird law, and Ohio
and Rhodo leland, which had harmo
nized their seasons in 1911, changed
tho seasons on waterfowl this year.
Aliens Barred Out.
As a result of tho decision of tho
Supremo court of tho United States
on Jnnuary 19, 1914, sustaining tho
alien hunting law of Pennsylvania, leg
islation prohibiting aliens from hunt
ing or owning shotguns or rlllcs wpb
enacted In at least four states Mass
achusetts, Now Jorsoy, North Dakota
and West Virginia, but certain ex
coptions based on property qualifica
tions woro mado in Massachusetts and
Now Jorsoy.

of big gamo and also for gamo birds.

years. Michigan extended complcto
protection, nlso. to quail, imported
pheasants, grouso, and wood ducks for
Hvo years. Minnesota protectod
doves, woodcock, plover and wood
ducks until 1918. Now Moxico gnvo

pigeons and swans. Oklnhomn pro

A DOCTOR'S EXPERIENCE
Medicine Not Needed in This Case.
It Is hard to convlnco socio people
that coffee does them an injury! Thoy
lay their bad feelings to almost every
causo but tho truo and unsuspected
one.
But tho doctor knows. His wide ex-
porlcnco has proven to him that, to
somo systems, coffeo.is an InsidlouH
poison that undermines tho health.
Ask nlm if coffco is n causo of con
stipation, stomach and nervous trou
bles.
"I have been a coffeo drlnkor all my
llfo, and when taken sick two years
ago with nerve prostration, tho doc
tor said that my nervous system was
broken down and that I would have to
give up coffeo.
"1 got so weak and shaky I could
not work, and reading an advertise
ment of Postum I asked my grocer if
ho had any of it Ho said, 'Yes,' and
that he used It in his family and It
was all it claimed to be.
'So 1 quit coffeo and commenced to
use Postum steadily, and In about two
weeks l could sleep better and get up
in tho morning feeling fresh. In about
two months I began to gain flesh. 1
weighed only 146 pounds when 1 com
menced on Postum and now 1 weigh
167 and feel better than 1 did at 20
years of ago.
"I am working overy day and Bleop
