Royal Baking Powder is indispensable for making finest and most economical food. Important To Fishing Interests May 16th, 1914. To The Editor: Since writing my last paper on fishing or. fisher men, as some one put it, I have talked with quite a. number of people; one gentleman called my attention to the fact that it was important; and most necessary that the 1 Federal government should enact, or pass laws con trolling the right of fishing in the waters of our country frequented by the food fishes:. It is a well known fact so far as navigation and commerce are concerned or extended the Federal Govern ment has jurisdiction over the waters of the sounds, bays, rivers and other navigable streams within its limits or boundaries; but Lam satisfied only the sever al states oLthe Union can enact noriaguiaurinerigi TTTw -r-rV'lyz ;-l t - waters referred to, as these rights were never granted or transferred so far as I understand, to the Federal Government ; and for this reason Congress cannot .enact laws for the protection or for the regulation of the rights of fish ing or fisheries in our waters; that. is in other words no juris diction for this purpose has been granted or delegated to the Congress of the United States, or to the law makersbf the Federal Government. I have no hesita . tion in saying that I believe this - power should have been granted to the Federal Government for the protection of all kinds of fish birds and animals; for then the laws could and no doubt would be uniform, covering the entire country as they should; and I am sure in this case would be more respected by the people; and therefore more easily enforc- - ed. In answer to my yiews it has been suggested that Congress has enacted or passed laws cover ing the protection of migratory birds ; and that there could - be no practical difference between the migratory birds and migra tory fishes, which are so general ly and recklessly - slaughtered, without a moments consideration of the effect or result it would have upon the future supply. , I have wishedl had f he time to give the subject a thorough and full in vestigation, so that I might deter mine for my own satisfaction how far in this direction the Federal governrxHtt can go under the gen er-al welfare clause o the constitu . tion, in the regulation of this ' most .important and . Interesting matttr.and the questions involv ed. ?35iedecisions of the highest . courts of our State and National Government seems, to be in - ac ' cord with the views expressed by , me m this paper; and that the several state governments of our dataiij only can enact legislation fsjvJtfifg the righ,t of taking Remaiis fish, or the right to establish fisheries in the navigable waters of this country. As stated -so far as I understand the funda mental laws of the United States the rights and privileges granted to the Federal Government under the constitution d oes hot em brace the right to regulate the catching of fish : and hence it is more difficult to secure proper legislation regulating these rights and privileges which involves, certainly in a most practical way the good and welfare of our peo ple and nation, which fact we are beginning (o appreciate more than ever before, as hc higher costs of living becomes more apparent. - For instance when we come to realize tne oroDaDie - m 1 1 fate of the sturgeon ; and in r " . I . . . 7 j has in fifteen years fallen from 7,000.000 pounds to 1,000,000 pounds on the Atlantic coast alone, and that the decrease has been more: rapid -on the. Great - So or not, admit we are hastening on to conditions which should not exist esnectallv so. when at I , , . 1 the present time, the yield is less u fin w - j " . than 1,000,000 pounds, and we are informed is constantlv de- while the demand for creasing ; all classes-of meat is steadily in creasing We should certainly think over these things in a com mon sense wav. and decide to take such action at once as will show clearly that our common sense is net at fault. When I was a boy, sturgeon was plentiful a'rtH cold a fow a two and a Wf dollars a piece. 1 now recall an occasion when I was at Sandy .Point Fishery on the Albemarle sound that three - or four stur- geons were caught at one haul I saw these, sturgeons hooked ana pulled out. At the time stur geons were thought very little of as food and the roe was consid ered worthless, not even fit to itCtA UVgi3.: Mv VVUW1VIVIVU c.u -X-;.riA f--r (rK. vo,rrC would eat it and die. As stated ..,mAn wae for fnH nnrrwiQ not valued much; and in some cases hardly fit to, paint a story like the following to-wit : "If John were asleep on the seashore What fish would you send to wak e lip? Why of course the (Stur: JohnY sturgeon." Think now, for its nieat and caviar, how v ' , important these fish have become and this since properly under- stood ana usca ior iooa, ana fears for its extinction have arisen. - l am miormea Dy Mr. W. E. Morgan, 'our clever and well informed superintendent of the fish hatchery here that the chief difficulty in the artificial propagation of the sturgeon lies in the fact that it is difficult to get a male and r; female, in the proper condition at the same time-on account of their scarcity, and not that they cannot be" pro ..V enm nthr 'fichM. lit! is very urifortnnate that we have no laws in this state protecting young sturgeons and other small fish like they have in Nswy York to prevent the catching-and sfale of small or young sturgeons under heavy penalties. Our represen tatives can easily obtain copies of trjese laws and re-enact them in this state, so that they will not only protect the sturgeon; but other food fish which abound in the waters of oui . State. To ' . ...... . I - make it a crime to sell or offer to sell the young fish would be jthe greatest help as to preserving, all kinds of our fish. We have been too careless about" these; matters .... .. . ...... . -j .. and slept too long. We . must awake, be up an I doing all j we can to protect and guard jonr fishes . from extermination .and extinction. We should and must do something relative to these matters and get the statejs to cooperate and have uniform ikws (general or special) enacted wfiich will properly regulate the tailing of fish and the fisheries, etc, ' in all streams of water, so ;bat the application of these laws will accomplish. "what is best for the fishes and the general good and welfare of the . people of our great, and to be greater, nation To be sure with the wisdom of the ages, and the experience of the people of the present ti -r jb we have men I should think, with gray matter enough in their brains to suggest a practical solu tion of this admittedly difficult subject upon which to legislate, ' . . . , ? ill VUlVlIlg as It uJVo juvu iiujiui tant questions relative to ifish- eries and the rights germane there j- f s 4 f . 1 to we can now see tne day not far distant when it will become plain to iis that we have neglect ed a most sacred duty for the ' ' r 1 . jjirotectionof our people, io$y fore urge that we . . . . . , - a . thif ll A A I I AlMlllllV i . 1 r r o f t tiro rmov ci rirwtk - - 1 our plain duty - to those who are to r 1 ' come aftei us, and 'take without ' 1 aeiay aeunne action j aiong tne "nes uggestea lor tne purpose of securing the necessary protec tion of all classes of our food . ..-.!.- ' - fishes and the people of the nation.

They may not be sick enough to lie in bed but they are run-down, thin, neir ous, tired and devitalized. Women are so active nowadays, and so . much is expected of them, that they constantly overdo and suf fer from headache, backache, nervous ness and kindred ills. . Such women need .Vinol, our deli clous cod Iirer and Iron tonic with out oil which wUl create an appetite, tone up the digestive organs, make pure blood and create strength. - Mrs, Walter Price, Biloxl, - Miss., says: "I was in a run-down condition for months, I had taken several medi cines but they saeaied it do me- no good.
