FISH FARMING HERE
IS A NEW INDUSTRY
Small Pond Produces Much
Food and Money.
Washington. "Fish fnrnilng Is a
rapidly growing ludustry throughout
the United States. The up to date
fish farmers flhd a ready market for
young fish and eggs and for food and
game flah The government and the
states purchase large iiuauiltlee of
eggs and fry "oin llsh fanuera every
year. Private clubs with their owu
fish preserves ""d butcheries also fur
nish a market u good price for eggs
aud fry. The couiuuti In i market for
food and gnuie fishes la a profitable
one. This la particularly tnie of trout
and baas. A steady market with an
average price of 75 cents per pound
for game trout makes the production
of this flab particularly attractive"
II. M. KUlltll. loininlssloUel of flsb
ertes. made this statement. Com mi
loner Smith Is greatly Interested In
the growing demand for supplies by
fish farmers, as well as by clubs ami
atnte authorities, and fish productlou
by these menus Is growing by leap

"In addition to the flab fanners who
are In the business commercially," con
tinued the commissioner, "there are
large numbers of tanners all over the
country who have come to reallre the
value of the private nsh pond a a

only through natural reproduction, la
Increasing out of all proportion to tbe

"During the flscal year that ended

SIGNALS OF DEATH
They Give Assurance That Life Is
Really Extinct.
TESTS THAT WILL NOT FAIL
Apart Prom Rigor Mortis, a Positive
Sign of Death, the Artery Opening
and Fluorescein Tests Provide a &mr
Against Prematura Burial.
When the doctor pronounbea the
patient dead, la be sure? And, If noL
what teats can remove all doubt? This
Questlou, though uut often spoken. Is
probably preaeut lu the minds of
friends and relatlona at every death
bed.
Aa death la the worst of all disasters
and no mistake could be mora awful
than premature burial. It Is not maral
Interesting, but Important, for people
to know what testa are conclusive and
what are not.
Wbeu the breathing atone and no
sound of heart beat or pulae can be de
tected there la little doubt of death.
But the little doubt Is In Itaalf ao dread
