KIDNEYACIDS
Rob your Rest..
Many people never seem to get a good'
night’s rest. 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

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.
