MUZZLE THE DOGS,

There is an ordinance among other
ordinances in this city which would
bear enforcing. The effort need not
he long continued so that those who
should enforce it might be wearied in
so doing. The ordinance referred to is
the one which declares that all dogs
should be muzzled during certain per.
lods OF the year. That time, is now
ana yet not one dog out of 500 is SO
harnessed.
or course you will find many who

or late, much proof of the necessity
or the enforcement of this ordinance
mas existed. Many instances of bitten
persons have been recorded and vet
the dogs still wear no masks One
oasis of consolation exists in this des-
ert cf neglect and that is that nearly
every canine whether mad or not, has
been shot, after the biting, this year.
1t is well known fact that many
dogs are neither vicious or mad, but
during this hot, murky weather, the
ANIMALS are just as irritable as human
beings and have not the means of
seeking alienation at their command
as human beings do.
Some one will see the poor canine
with froth hanging about his jowl
and mad dog" is the cry. Well il
Will not take much chasing and ston-
ing to madden that same dog and then
sono one gets bitten. 1t is still fresh
in the memory of many on this side
how little Bennie Bevans, of Acad-
emy street. and Willie Jordan, of West
Lackawanna avenue, were victims.
Yet that dog was given water and
food and even whipped after his wild
cscapade.
Only Thursday evening Patrolman
McColliSan was notified that a large
dog was acting strangely on Thir-
tecnth street near Luzerne street. He
went back there and found the dog
and shot him. No one claimed the ami
NAL and the body was removed to the
crematory. Instances like the above
occur almost daily yet the dogs either
owned or unowned wander about with
out muzzles.
We would suggest that those who
own dogs put muzzles on them and
keep them around home as much as
possible during the heated term. They
can thus anticipate the enforcing of
the ordinance and prevent the dog
being worried and biting some one.

THE UNIVERSAL AILMENT.
Suggestions as to the Mitigation of
the Disease Once Called Quinsy.

Quinsy. or tonslitis, is an acute in
fiammation of one or both tonsils. The
inflammation is commonly very 'act-
i've" causing great pain and ending in
the formation of matter.
Children, and especially young adults,
are most subject to the disease, for it
is in them that the tonsils are most
fully developed and most prone to take
on Inflammation. The glands gradu-
ally become smaller in middle life and
have more or less completely disap-
peared in those who have reached old
age.
The cause of qulnsy is not always
evident. A tendency to the disease
seems sometimes to run in families,
and it has been noted that those who
have frequent attacks of tonsilitis in
youth often suffer from gout or rheu-
matism in later life. The immediate
cause seems often to be exposure TO
cold and wet when the person is ia
tigued or a little under the weather."
The presence of sewer gas i'm the house

of tonsilts in those unfortunates who
have contracted the quinsy habit
The first indication of trouble Is
usually a chill or a chilly sensation,
such as many people have come to
recognize as a sign of having caught
cold. This is followed by little fever,
with dryness and stiffness" in the
throat and little pain on swallowing.
The pain, which rapidly increases. is
continuous, but is greatly aggravated
by the chewing and swallowing of food.
On looking into the throat the swollen
and Redeemed tonsil is readily seen.
When both tonsils are affected they
may often be seen pressing against
each other, and seemingly blocking up
the throat completely.
Sometimes the trouble may-appar-

treatment, hut usually the inhamma-
