They turn and toss—blame it on ‘nerves’—when it may be their kidneys. Healthy kidneys filter poisons and excess acids from the blood. If they fail and impurities stay in the system—disturbed rest often follows. If you don’t rest well get and use Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Dodd’s help the kidneys so that you can rest better—and feel belter. 136 Dodds Kidney Pills Herson Irwin last Tuesday afternoon.

Note Downward Trend In Game Violations The downward trend in fish and game law violations in Ontario which began in January after December’s 1954 record high continued in Febru­ ary, the Department of Lands and Forests reports. February penalties amounted to just under 35,000—$4,000 in fines and $973 court costs for 255 convictions. This compares encourag­ ingly with 358 convictions and $10,879.- 30 in penalties in December and 304 convictions and $7,358.20 in penalties in January. Hunting without a license continues to be the most common law infraction with 103 convictions last month. In January 120 were fined $10 and costs for this offence and 89 in December. Fishing by other means than angling brought 41 convictions, hunting in prohibited hotirs 20, having loaded firearms in a motor vehicle 16 and using ferrets to hunt rabbits 14. Nine were convicted for shooting pheasants in a closed season and four for shoot­ ing from a motor car. The pheasant cost $123.60 in court, in one case. A Barry’s Bay man found that Ignoring regulations can be costly, even though the offence might be comparatively minor. He paid a $10 fine and $20.50 costs for having a loaded firearm on Sunday. Expense of bringing witnesses from a distance to testify made the court costs more than double liis fine.
