SEEK To Prevent River Pollution To Preserve Fish Farmers And Fishermen Framing A Bill Ohio fishermen and farmers are framing a bill, which is to be introduced in the legislature at this session to prevent the pollution of the streams. 'At present the state board of health has control of this evil, but sportsmen and farmers are anxious to place the regulacion in the hands of the state fish and game commission.

Under present laws, when a stream is polluted for the purpose of killing the fish, the case is prosecuted by the fish and game commission. But if a stream is polluted with no intent to kill the fish and incidental to getting rid of waste, the fish and game commission has no authority over the case, according to an opinion by the attorney general. When complaints are made to the fish and came commission in such cases they are turned over to tie state board of health, with the result that no action is taken for several months, and sometimes for a year. In this time many of the fish in the stream die. Fishermen claim they could be saved if all such cases were put in the hands of the fish and game commsison and prompt action taken.

Many thousands of fish are killed annually by the pollution of streams and ponds in this state, much to the detriment of the sport. Farmers claim their live stock often is made sick and killed by impurities in their drinking water. Under present laws It is next CO impossible to keep refuse from being thrown into streams by man'1facturers who are looking for it easy disposal.

For all scom ach, liver and kidney troubles they'r supreme.

CHRONIC CURES ULCERS There is nothing that causes more worry and discomfort than a chronio, festering ulcer. As it lingers, slowly eating into the tissues and surrounding flesh, and by its tendency to grow worse in every way, it suggests the possibility of being cancerous in its nature. Efforts to heal the ulcer by means of salves, washes, lotions, always result in failure, because such treatment can have no possible effect on the blood where the impurities and morbid matters form, and are carried thorugh the circulation the place, to keep it op irritated and diseased. The impurities in the blood must be removed before the healing process can begin. S.

S. S. goes to the fountain impurities of the which trouble, keep and the drives ulcer out open. the Then as germ-producing this rich, poisons purified and blood is carried to the diseased place the healing commences, the inflammation gradually leaves, the discharge ceases, new tissue and healthy flesh are formed, and soon the sore is permanently cured because the source has been destroyed. S.

S. S. does not make a surface cure, but by supplying the blood with healthful, tissue-building properties it begins at the bottom and causes the flesh at the diseased spot to firmly and permanently knit together, and the place is left sound and well.

FOR LOVERS OF FLOWERS THERE IS SOMETHING NEW With the advent of the season pruning shrubbery the thoughts of the woman who queens it over the vine-covered cottage begin to turn to contemplation of the prospects of her flower garden for the coming summer, and she commences to plan for something new in the line of color and fragrance. She will not be disappointed, for the early spring catalogues of the propagators show that some new varieties were developed during the past season that will be available for cultivation this year. Of the flora there are mentioned two roses which have been deemed worthy of recognition by the American Rose society. The new beauties are to be known as White Killarney and My Maryland.

These are said to be especially adapted to the American climate, and the prophesy is made by the society that their attractiveness assures their popularity.
