DOGS AND AUTOMOBILES.
After CANNES Have Once Been Struck
They VIII Never Seek q
Second Dose.

"a dog that has once come in contact
with an automobile v goes back for a
second Dose" said a man who lives out
on the Old York road, to the Philadel-
phia Record. Il know, because | have
six. l mean 6ogs-not automobiles.
See 'em limping around? Well. every
one has been hit, and now they give the
autos a wide berth. You'd think that
after one or two had the experience
they'd put the others next, but that's
where the meanness Of a dogs nature
comes in. They say that every dog has
his day. l suppose they regard expert
ence as the best teacher. It's hard to
figure the thing out; but, at any rate
every N of my six dogs has been struck
with more or less serious results, and
now their curiosity is satisfied. They
are quite content to let the machines
whiz by, and save their barks until the
danger Is past"

SOLDIERS EXPECT DEATH.
War Correspondent Says That Chief
Characteristic Of Japanese Is
Lack Of Care for Self.

Count von Gattler, a German nobleman
and ex-oilcer, who is war correspondent
for q large German paper. gives some
typical examples of the Japanese SOL
dier's contempt of death. He does not
fight for his home and country as does
the European soldier, but goes into bait
tie with the determination of a man who
has decided to commit suicide. When
leaving home he considers himself dss-
tined to die. During the whole war
Admiral Togo has not exchanged q let
ter with any member OF his family, and
has positively forbidden anybody to
write him as long as the war ilasts.
Gen. Inonye has forbidden anyone to
write In case any of his four soldier
SONS is killed. When leaving home the
Japanese soldier absolves his fianeee
from her promise to marry him, saying:
you are free, as l am going to die
The married soldier tells his wife to
consider herself a widow. and leaves
her with the words: bssasl
lyon Will never see me again. Manage
o1r affairs as well as you can, andFsee
that our children get a good education,
and bring them up to respect my mem
ory."

MANY WATER DRUNKARDs.
Thousands Of Men Attempt to Stave
CT Heat by Aqua Pura System
and "Get the Habit"

"Do you see that man across the
street?" asked the doctor of a Philadel-
phia Press man. well, he is. In many
ways. a most estimable person. He is
attentive to his business and success
full at 1t; he is a leader In his church;
ne is a good husband and father: he
doesn't smoke and never touches alco-
hplic liquor. And yet that mamie
doesn't know it, but it's true-is a
d%runkard. How can that be? I'll tell
YOU. He's a water d~rurksrd. Fact. At
the time of year there are lots of them
who w suspect 1t. AS the season
grows hot they get to drinking more
and more Ice water and at last they lit
orally get the habit They can't get
along without the pleasant shock which
Is given their system every time they
dump into their heated stomachs o
glass or two of ice-cold water. Il means
the end of their digestioDs: 1t ursets
their nerves and 1t ruins their tempcrs.
biit they like the effect-just as the or
binary drunkard likes the effects OF
afcohoi-and so they must have IT.
Water drunkards, that's what call
them. and there are thousands Of them
in Philadelphia"
