Queer Things Dogs Eat.

Dog fanciers In Baltimore do not agree
with the able physician who IL quoted as
saving that the presence OF forgotten sub
stances. like pebbles. glass and feathers
In dogs stomach make IL certain that
the animal was affected with rabies. Mr.
Thomas j. Sheubrooks, who has made
an International reputation as "A raiser OF
St Bernards. was asked for his opinion
on the subject, and said
The presence of the foreign matter is
by no means an indication OF rabies On
the contrary il shows that the dog was
suffering from stomach trouble, which
may have given 1t commissions and caused
y to act In manner which gave rise to
the belief that ii was rabid. When
dog Is suffering from one or a complica-
ton OF the disorders OF the stomach and
intestines II will swallow bits OF most
anything that comes TO hand hoping to
find counter irritant which Will bring
relief. IL is really surprising 10 know
what they will swallow under such cir
cumstances and live. l have known sew

lie was. as he says, born In the KEN
nels, his father having been famous
kennel keeper In Ireland. For the last
thirty-three years he has been an ac-
knovledged authority on matters canine,
and has had much TO do with rabies. not
only from the standpoint of dog expert,
but as a graduate OF medicine. Tle said:
MY opinion Is that the mere fact of
finding foreign substances In the sto-
mach is almost positive proof that the
dog did not have rabies. II II indicates
any brain trouble IL indicates cerebro-
spinal meningitis. which in It's outward
forms IL much like violent rabies and ts
apt TO make the dog have more In ac-
cordance with popular conceptions OF
rabies than the rabies themselves. The
fact that a dog swallows grass and occa-
gionally a small stone does not indicate a
radically disordered system. The acids
In the stomach OF dogs are very strong
and very plentiful.
Sometimes the lining OF the stomach
becomes so charged with these acids In
excess of that required To digest the FOOD
upon whcn e has been living That the
dog seeks an irritant. which acts upon
the walls OF the stomach and causes an
artificial flow OF the acid Grass Is the
counter-irritant provided by nature and
the one that the dog prefers. II docs not

IMPORTANT MOVEMENT IN KANSAS
organization Ii Formed to Purify the
Politics OF the State.

Organization IL Formed to Purify the
Politics OF the State.
Topeka, Kan, May 3.-Mrs. Nations
crusade against the saloon has result
ed in movement to purify Kansas
politics that promises to be more
far-reaching than anything of the
kind ever before attempted in the sun
flower state.
An organization called the Grand
Chapter of the Law Enforcement
Lea que has been effected, whose OBJ
ject is to purify the politics of the
state and to promote it's interests.
The league is to be thoroughly organ
lied Nv the establishment in every
city, town or hamlet in the state Of a
local chapter. The league is the out
peka incident to Mrs. Nations saloon
smashing. The women first organized
the Home Defenders, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Nation, and the auxiliary
lodge now formed by the men is to
have a broader field of operation.
The meeting of the Law Enforce
ment league to perfect plans for a
state organization was secret and
very few of the details of the organic
alton have reached the outside.
Kansas City, Mo-, May 3.-The po-
lice commissioners have refused the
request of the special committee Of
the Law and Ordinance Enforcement
league to close the saloons on Sum
day, and the league called a mass
meeting to take the first steps toward
pctitioning Governor Dockery to re-
lieye these officers
