Cat and Dog PhiIanthropist.

A West Philadelphia physician is
writing an interesting and valuable
little book that he intends to call
First Aid to Injured Animals" The
hook deals with the treatment of the
common accidents that happen to dogs,
cats and horses. 1t shows how fifty per
cent. of the deaths that occur among
domestic animals are due to the mis-
taken treatment that these animals re-
ceive in the interim between their fall
ing i'll and the veterinary surgeons ar
rival. The physician said yesterday:
Take the case of a valuable dog, for
instance Dogs frequently choke A
bone, nail, or a piece of tin gets in
their throat, and there is great danger
of their dying before the surgeon
comes. Many Of them do die. but there
is no reason for this. For it is easy
without the slightest danger Of being
bitten, to put the hand in the mouth
of a dog and to draw out or push down
the obstruction that is killing it. A
bandage-a handkerchief or a towel
will do-is passed between the teeth
and over the upper jaw. and in SINH
lar way another bandage is passed be-
tween the teeth and over the under jaw
One person holding the end of the two
bandages keeps the dogs mouth wide
open: second person can then. with
perfect ease and safety. put his fingers
down the animals throat and relieve it.
There are hundred emergencies like
this one-just as dangerous and just as
easily treated. In my book it is my
purpose to describe all these
emergencies and thus | hope to save
many animals lives.-Philadelphia

Powers Accept Hay Proposal.

Secretary Hay has received responses
from Austria Hungary and from Por-
tugal to his neutrality proposition, the
answers in each case amounting TO an
acceptance of the principles laid down
by the secretary as to localization OF
the struggle and naturalization of
China. This completes the list of
answers from all of the powers ad-
dressed on the subject, with the single
exception of Russia
Relative to reference in one of the
European dispatches to a second note
TO the powers from the United States
relative to neutrality, it is explained at
the State Department that this note
was nothing more than the text tal-
ready published) of the note to Japan
and Russia which Secretary Hay in his
first note had informed the powers he
was about to dispatch
According to State Department Of
fcial, there will be no more notes eX-
changed for the present relative to the
naturalization of China and the restric-
ton of the theater of war to certain
limits. Having induced the powers to
accept the general principle of neu-
tralizaton, the State Department feels
that that chapter is closed. An at
tempt to go into details would almost
certainly tend to disrupt the present
satisfactory arrangement, for one or
the other of the powers would have
something to suggest which would be
bone of contention. So there will be
no further exchanges on this subject
III the present temper of the State De-
partment, unless some overt act rs COM
mitted by one of the belligerents
threatening the neutrality of China out
side of Manchuria. 1t will be time
then for the powers to get together
and. acting on the lines indicated by
Secretary Hay, make concurrent rep
| reservations on the subject.

an entire failure in getting strength

the doctors gave him up to die.
1t was supposed to be consumption
because he was wasting away stead

called from time to time and one day
brought along package OF Grape
Nuts, thinking from what he knew
of the famous food that perhaps it
might help him. The sick man took
to it at once and from that day began
to get we'll In writing he says:
Il walked to town today 3 miles.
Have gained over 40 pounds in about
2 months and my neighbors don't
