Are well-kept and well-fed dogs as likely
to have mango as half-starved ones? 2 Do
meat bones in moderate quantity cause
mango Mrs. l.. b.
No; mango is generally due to general de-
bility, and may be caused by insufficient ex-
ercise or want of cleanliness, or of groom
ing. Then mango proper, being due to a
living parasite that crawls upon or burrows
in the skin. is very contagious. An entirely
healthy dog can get it from lying on a spot
on which NANCY dog has been. 2. Meat
in moderate quantities is good, though liver
is bad, and bones should be given after
rather than before meat; these last points
apply to dogs generally, not alone to NANCY
ones

A says that if a man is once a German he
is always Il German as far as compulsory
service in the army is concerned. He insists
that a man born in Germany, no matter
-hAff cd md not 1aI IL,
some other country or not, is liable to arrest
and compulsory Service if he ever returns
to Germany. says if he is naturalized
elsewhere he may'return without danger of
arrest. says that if he left Germany
after he had reached the age for service and
before performing that service he would be
liable TO arrest if he ever returned no mat
ter whether naturalzed elsewhere or not :
but that il he left Germany before he
was naturalized in some other country he
would not be subject to arrest. Which is
right?
This matter would depend on how the
German officials would handle the case.
They would be guided by German laws and
could rightfully ignore naturalization-in
America, say But We're the offenders case
not a heinous one they would be likely, out
of courtesy to this country and in response
to requests of its representatives, to release
the man even after his arrest.
