The Answer is Found in the Straightforward Statement of a West Cape May Resident We have been reading week after week in the local press of Cape May Court House citizens who have been rid of distressing kidney and bladder troubles by Doan's Kidney Pills, and we - have often wondered whether the same high opinion of this medicine is to be found in our neighboring towns. This frank and earnest statement by a wellknown and respected resident of West Cape May will set this doubt at rest. Michael H. Holland, 136 Learning Ave., West Cape May, N. J.. says '"For almost a year I was afflicted with kidney trouble, brought on by a heavy cold. I had pains in the small of my back and at times was unable to sleep well, getting up -in the morning tired and unrefreshed. Whenever I stooped or brought any strain on the muscles of my bRck, sharp pains darted throughout my body and I often felt miserable. I was also subject to headaches and dizzy ! spells, during which my sight blurred. I Hearing of Doan's Kidney Pills. I used ; them and they gave me prompt relief. I continued taking them until completely cured. I have had no trouble since." " Price 59c, at all dealers.

I THE STATE BUREAU OF SHELL FISHERIES We publish below some extracts from the recent report of the Bureau of Shell Fisheries of which Charles R. Bacon is superintendent: There is a constantly growing demand for New Jersey oysters. There is an unceasing and growing demand for oui" clams. Prices of the former have remained substantially stationary for a dozen years or more while the price of clams has risen gradually until the increase has amounted to about 50 per cent in the same period. There are practically 00 laws governing the taking of dams; such restrictions as are contained in the laws are difficult of enforcement. We should approach this subject unhesitatingly an. which wohld give more adequate protection for this species of shell fish and greatly extend the output. As we have stated in previous re|>orts, the difficulty of obtaining such ] legislation would be the violent opposi- 1 tion of the large number of men in Atlantic and Ocean counties who gather ! clams all the year around and believjy that there should be no restrictions tain sizes, but this law has not been - against the. catch. We have a law pre- ] 1 venting the taking of clams under eer- ' strictly enforced because ofNhis appar- j cut sentiment upon the part of those who are engaged in this branch of the ] industry. - There is no real reason why the law should not be enforced and we 1 have called to the attention of the ( dj-ster Commissions for those districts," the necessity for such enforcement. ! "The educational campaign conducted ^ by this. Bureau and the several Oyster Commissions with thorough co-operation ' and understanding lias had the greatly , desired effect of inculcating the proper I idea .in the minds of residents. It is now possible to enact laws looking to ' the betterment of the industry without arousing any very great amount of antagonism, such as was conspicuous in ' the earlier days of the effort. It is recalled that the first attempts to legits-" \ late for the conservation of this industry were met with the most violent . opposition. For years there had been, , as has been stated, the feeling lliat , every oyster that grew was the eom- : mon property of the man who could ' first grab it out of the water. It was ! ' some such' notion as is still prevalent 1 f that no laws should be enacted to pre- 1 ^ vent the taking of wild fowl or the dc- I < s traction of insectivorous birds. The in- 1 5 born iesire to kill and destroy seems to j 1 be so deeply rooted in the makeup of 1 , " some individuals that any efort to re- , , strict the desire is met with the most etrenuous opiiosition." • |< 1 "As early as 1846 the State began to | c • enact laws for the preservation of oys-i^ ' tera and clains as wise officials had j( noticed a rapid diminution in the 3iip- J , ply because of the attitude of those!' r who felt that all in sight was common ' property. There was no desire or pur- ^ ' pose to conserve the products for the t future; no attempt had been made upon the part of anyone to bring to public ' attention the fact that the species jc » would lave to be preserved or become j ^ extinct. Thus along through the years, I ( spasmodic, but unsystematic efforts li ■ were made to conserve the industry, and it was not until 1899 that anything r tangible or effective was accomplished.'! | Conditions had become intolerable tlial I ■ those who realized the necessity of,] j action became iinbued with the proper M ! spirit and took the initiative for the ^ fight that was necessary." ^ ' "Some comparison has been made be- ; tween this Department of the State gov- ' eminent and that lookftig to the Fish " [ and Game interests. The comparison ' is impossible. The Fish and Game in- j . terests present a purely sporting proposi- , r tion, while the shell fish industry is a 1 t great business enterprise in which tlie | State is engaged. Every foot of ground under • the tidal waters of the State j ca|iable of sheR fish production ber longs absolutely to the State. This fact lias been presented in many and varied , s forms, but it is again stated with *s much emphasis as can be placed upon ( the words in order to make it conspic- ' uons in the minds of those who have no conception of the situation. The cost [ to the State of the administration of this industry is an insignificant item. { The revenues now derived are within a 1 i

very clone margin of the expenditurea'' 5 "Weare also very much gratified to r&i port the slight increase in. the total revenue for the year. These revenues you ^ will observe, are now' within a few hundred dollars of the toial expense; ths figures being here presented." ^ "The apropriations for the yehr 191$ were $29,050, and for 1914 $29,400, While the total revenues for 1913 were $27,418 and for 1914 $27,892, showing for the past year a revenue within $1,608 0! the total expenditures."
