Peterson Ointment Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Alsatian Wolf-Dog Is Terror to Evildoers 'file dog most prominent in public interest at the present time is the Al patian wolf-dog. The Alsatian Is pure bred, being the offspring of the AA'ur teniberg sheepdog and the sheepdog of central Germany. These two breeds have a partcular way of sheepfolding, find experimenters wondered if they, could blend the best strains of each.] this they did with remarkable success, t ml thus appeared the German wolf dog, which the, police of that country were quick to use as a criminal hunter, pays Tit-Bits. During the war these dogs rendered ! valuable service, and after the armis tice, when the dog dub was formed by British officers, the name was changed to Alsatian wolf-dog, a de scription which has now been adopted by nearly all countries. Insanity Statistics The national committee on mental hygiene says there is no foundation for the popular belief that farmers’ wives are more subject to insanity than other women. A recent study of , the first admissions to 22 state hos pitals in tliis country shows that not only were fewer women admitted from rural districts than from urban, but that the rate based upon the poptila tion of the same environment for ur ban women was almost twice that for rural. The rate of first admissions in rural districts was found to be much higher among males than among fe males.

I " ^ ' I TODAY BY ARTHUR BRISBANE Henry Ford says churches should leach dancing to counteract some vi cious modern tendencies. He wants the «ld dances brought back to replace new wiggling. There might be a compromise be tween old and new dances—especially as Mr. Ford thinks old people should dance. The modern dance, the walking kind, is easier for old people than the old polka, in which you were supposed to hop, and the waltz, in which 95 per cent did hop, although they weren’t supposed to. Dancing and religion have long been united. Samuel tells you "Da vid danced before the Lord.” he well might, for his rise was rapid from lightweight champion, conqueror of Goliath, to ruler over Israel. Dancing has its proper place. See Ecclesiastes, Third chapter, Fourth verse, “time to weep, and u time'to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.” The next verse says there is also “a time to embrace, and a time to re frain from embracing.” That should be remembered in these wild dancing days. If you saw one sleek muskrat, climb out of the water and look at you with beady eyes, you would say, “interest ing, but it doesn't amount to much.” The muskrat knows better. He' can amount to a great deal, for good or evil, just as with human thought. A nobleman in central Europe, in terested in muskrats started breed ing them on his estate. They ruined farms fur miles around him. On the other hand, last winter, in the Louisiana marshes, they /caught more than ,000,000 muskrats, worth more than $6.000,000—about half the entire crop of North America. “Insignificant muskrats give great value to marches hitherto worthless. And our extremely well managed ag ricultural department has 'requested Mr. Vernon Bailey, able naturalist, specializing in small mammals, and knowing more about the muskrats than they know about themselves, to see what can be done about making the Louisiana muskrat crop perma nent. A crop or 6,000,000 muskrats a year represents 6 per cent on $1,000,000. And you don’t have to plant the muskrat or raise the young ones. They do that themselves. The people of Louisiana say there is more wealth In their state five times over than has ever been taken out of any state in the union, and very likely they are right about it. If the hot weather recently has an noyed you, be glad to know that all kinds of weather may be useful and welcome. Up on the Mojave desert, near Barstow CO miles back of Los Angeles, the Hodge brothers in the recent heat grew a crop of alfalfa in 22 days. That is to say 22 days after one crop had been mowed, dried and stacked, they mowed another crop and they cut their alfalfa seven times ev ery season, on the same land. Can anybody beat that? Count Cippico, Italian senator In Mussolini’s regime, says Italy must have colonies to absorb excess popu-’ lation. If this country were wise, no other Italian colonies would be needed. The United States ought to welcome ev ery Italian. Florida today could be made richer by millions of dollars if she could get even a quarter of a million good Italian immigrants. California and other western states A cent dated 1863 was found fastened at the very top of the 185-foot spire on the First Universalist church in Shrewsbury, Mass., by Walter C. Hale, a steeplejack, when he went to work dismantling the tower after being struck by lightning. The coin had been placed there 43 years ago by Herbert Putnam, now 73. For some time Robert W. Reed, of Bellefonte, Pa., has been juzzled by the disappearence of mllf from cans in his springhouse. The house was al ways kept securely locked so no person could get into it. However, the dis covery of a seven-foot biacksnake lying beside an empty can me morning, toa gorged to mdve, solved the mystery. It had evidently swum in through the small stream that flows into the epringhouse. _ , Real Competition William Feather Complete with your possibili ties; not with your neighbors. This is the advice which an' old manufacturer gave to a mer chant who asked him what chance a man in a small town has of get ting ahead. The manufacturer said he had noticed that most merchants in small towns were satisfied to do a volume of business that meas ured up with that of their neigh bors. He recommended to this mer chant that he forget all about his neighbors, and begin to compete with himself, and with his possi-, bilities. He said there was no reason why his store should not have the bulk of the trade of all persons within a 30-mile ra dius. Because his neighbors had ' not tried to expand was no reason I why he should not. need and would welcome many mil lions of them. One cheerful goose thinks Italy’s problem could be solved by "Birth Control." This poor creature says if the Ital ians would have fewer and better childrep, we would welcome them. Why betttr, if fewer? Caruso was the nineteenth child In his family. Would It have been a good Idea to cut off that family, say at 10 or 15, and miss Caruso? In the slums, amtd disease and ig norance, families should be kept down If it can be done. But under decent conditions, the more children a mother has, the bet ter they are—at least among hum bler people. , It Isn’t so with kings, because they get tired of their wives after the first child is born, or sooner, and the others, are inferior. Oscar Chambers, aged 50, with not enough talent to make him happy. Just enough to make him unhappy, kilted himself with gas, having painted a portrait of himself, and attached to it this note: “Here is a justified exit: Too old—no faith; deaf—no hope; no money—broke; totals— zero.” Everyhing in that statement is wrong; Fifty is young for a man willing to work. Great successes have been begun after 50. Lack of faith is serious, but Frank ed and Jefferson had very little of it. Still they were useful. “Deaf," some of the world's best work has been done by men hard of hearing. They were not bothered by useless talk. “No home, no money—Broke.” All that can be overcome. The real trouble that the man left out, the two words that really mean desperation are “no courage.” You remember Goethe’s lines: “Muth verloren, alles verloren, Besser du waerest nle geboren.” “Courage lost, everything lost, better lliou were never born.” • The American federation of labor resolves officially to keep away from all third parties hereafter. That is ! gopd news for the old democratic and republican parties and for important gentlemen that pull strings in both parties, using the republican party as the working machine and the demo cratic as a sort of “spare tire” to be used, If it has to be used, if some thing goes wrong. Younger Generation ^rom the American Lumberman A bulldog at Macon, Ga., has been given two baby tigers to raise, and some day, that bulldog is going to feel just as most American parents do now. Finishing the Job. From Todd Red and White. “How's this?” asked the lawyer. "You've named six bankers in your will to be pall bearers. Of course, it's all right, hut wouldn’t you rather choose some friends with whom you are on bet ter terms?" “No, judge, that’s all right. Those fellows have carried me along; they might as well finish the Job.” ■ —— Inconsistent. From Buen Humor, Madrid. “I shan’t go to school any more, father. The teacher is mad.” "What makes you say that?” “Yesterday she told us that four and one make five, but today she teJd us that it was three and two!” Watson Almost Right From the New York Times. Amid all the ambiguous statements at Washington about prohibition and patronage, It is refreshing to hear one clear voice In bold and direct utter ance. Senator Watson of Indiana felt his righteous soul vexed by all the chatter about getting efficient men to enforce the Volstead act. ‘‘Prohibi tion Is In politics,” he roundly de clared, "and can’t be got out.” Per haps a little discount should be made for the enthusiasm of a senator to whom politics has so long been the vital air and life blood that of he ceased to have a politicians' thoughts about everything he would cease to exists. Friends o fills who have fol lowed his varied and picturesque pub lic career in Indiana, where they take their politics very hard are convinced that if the, Hon. "Jim" were to hear the Angel Gabriel blowing the last trump he would only Inquire anxious ly. “Well, how do you think this will affect the vote In Marion county?” Allowing for every exaggeration due to personal bent- thero is no doubt that Senator Watson got off hts chest a chunk of cold truth. From the beginning prohibition has been In politics and Is still there. That fact helps explain some of the most unpleasing aspects of the movement. It accounts for a lot of the Insincer ity and hypocrisy displayed by mem bers of the legislatures and members of congress In discussing and voting upon the question of prohiblton. Where they have seen political pre« ferment to be won by going against their convictions and also their prac tice, they have not hesitated to do so. The scramble for offices under tho agencies of prohibition enforcement • has been only a small part of the po litical demoralization caused by the thing being "In politics.” Tubhc men have allowed themselves to be ter rorized. The promise of votes, or the fear of losing votes, has been a fruit ful cause of hasty legislation on the subject of prohibition, which has none the less been harmful and de plorable for not being openly cor rupt. *' The bribes offered have not been In money, but they have been effective. “Breakdowns” From the Waterbury Democrat "Nervous breakdowns," Sir Wil liam Ilennett announces, arc Increas ing greatly In England. Thirty years ago, he says, there was no such thing recognized by the medical profession or the public. Now the number of cases is astonishing. There is the same situation In this country. If anything, It is worse here. One hears talks nowadays of friends and acquaintances suffering from “nervous breakdowns” just as commonly as on#, heard of appondl citcs CRses wh$ri that disease was in its heyday. ^ he term used Is some times a euphemism to cover a down right attack of Insanity. Usually It signifies a case of combined physical weak ress and disordered nerves, making the victim unable to work effectively and a burden to himself a:<d others. What Is the cause? Apparently tho high speed of living. Too much ac tivity of body and mind. Covering too much ground. Not necessarily too much work or too much play, but too much exertion—too much ex hausting of energy. And no doubt physical causes play a big part, parti cularly diet. Possibly half the break down cases could be traced to diges tive disorders. If there is one remedy, it Is simpler living. This does not mean neces sarily retiring from the world or ceasing to do what tho world does. It is not so much a question of less action as a question of more poise. The top is most steady when whirling most rapidly. That Is a good example of poise. —- ■ » » —. i His Mistake Two business friends who lived in the country met one day, and one In vited the other to dine with him that evening. At the appointed time the guest set forth in the direction of his friend's house, and as the roads In the village were somewhat dimly lighted he took with him his old fushloned stableman’s lantern. The dinner was good, the wine excel lent, and all went merrily. The next morning, however, he re ceived the following note from his host of the night before: “Dear Old Man: I am sending my man over to you with this note, and he takes with him your lantern. If you have quite finished with my parrot and cage. I shall be awfully glad if yor will return same per bearer.” Loiv“Cost Transportation Star (O Cars NEW PRICES EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, 1925 Commercial Chassis $425 Roadster $525 Coupe $675 Touring 525 Coach 695 t Coupster 595 Sedan 775 F.

' • "Jl Few Roads Carry Traffic A very large portion of the highway traffic of the country Is carried by a rather small percentage of the roads.
