First Ala for Injured Animals.
From the Philadelphia Record.


A West Philadelphia physician is
writing an interesting and valuable
little book that he intends to call
First Aid to Injured Animals" The
book deals with the treatment of the
common accidents that happen to dogs,
cats and horses. 1t shows how so per
cent. OF the deaths that occur among
domestic animals are due to the mis-
taken treatment that these animals
receive in the interim between their
falling i'll and the veterinary surgeons
arrival. The physician said yesterday:
Take the case of a valuable dog,
for instance. Dogs frequently choke.
A bone, a nail or a piece Of tin gets
in their throat and there is great dan
ger 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 dog and to draw out or push down
the obstruction that is killing him. A
bandage-a handkerchief or a towel
will dds passed between the teeth
and over the upper jaw, and i'm a
similar way another bandage is pass
ed between the teeth and over the
under jaw. One person holding the ends
of two bandages keeps the dogs mouth
wide open; a second person can then
with perfect east and safety. put his
fingers down the animals throat and
relieve him. There are a hundred
emergencies like this one-just as dan
grous and just as easily treated. In

NEW YORKER HAS TIP
ON PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION.
Secretary of State Hay, He says
viii Be Republican Nominee.

Secretary of State Hay, He says
VIII Be Republican Nominee.
Il had a talk with several Of the
most prominent Republicans of the
state of Ohio a few days ago in New
York, and they were very anxious TO
wager than John Hay, Secretary Of
State in Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet, would
be the nominee of the Republican Ma
tional Convention at Chicago next
June" said Mr.. E. F. Lashler, Of
New York. at the De Soto last night
Mr.. L.ashler declared that the OHIO
Republicans in question were proml-
nent politicians OF the Hanna faction,
and they declared that at the proper
time Senator Hanna would make
known his intentions to support Mr..
Hay for the nomination. He said that
the high compliment which President
Roosevelt recently paid Secretary OF
War Root was only an intended crack
at Mr.. Hay.
Secretary Hay is an Ohioian, and for
the last forty years has figured promi-
nently in national Republican poll
tics having been one of President
Iiucoln's private secretaries in his
boyhoo DAYS. He is now considered
the most scholarly member of the
Presidents onclal Ialnlly ana II mas
been an open secret in Washington for
several weeks that Mr.. Hay was not
exactly in accord with President Roose-
velt's foreign policy. The Secretary of
State was appointed by the late Presi-
dent Mckinley, and is known to be
very close TO Senator Hanna and
President BcKinley's closest personal
friends throughout the country.
Mr.. Lashler said that his informa-
ton came from a reliable source and
that his informant was in a position
TO know exactly what is going on in
the camp Of Senator Hanna. He cali
ed attention to the frequent rumors
that were afloat a few months ago, to
the effect that Secretary Hay was 60
ing to give up the portfolio of state
and predicted Mr.. Hays retirement
from Roosevelt's cabinet within
month.
