Dogs Without Muzzles.

On account OF the mad dog scare In
Reynoldsville two weeks ago. when six
children were bitten by dog that had
hydrophobia and all the children are
now in the Magee Pathological Insti-
tute at Plttsburg receiving the Pasteur
treatment for rabies, notice was pub
lished by president OF town council and
burgess OF this borough requesting all
owners OF dogs within the borough to
shut up their dogs for sixty days or
muzzle them, but the notification
has been ignored by number
OF people, as number OF dogs
are still running the streets with
out muzzles. Owners Of dogs should be
willing to muzzle their dogs for sixty
days, considering the great danger peo-
pie are exposed to, especially children,
when a mad dog runs our streets. II
they will not muzzle their dogs without
being forced to do so, then the law
should be enforced. Ordinance No. S3,
which is almost entirely ignored-there
are few exceptions-should be strictly
enforced.
II is remarkable the number of dogs
there are In town and how few the as
SCISSOR can find owners for when he
makes the assessment.

Turns The Tide.

The influence of newspaper advertis-
ing is wonderful. 1t makes small stores
great. 1t turns the tide of business to-
ward the advertised store as nothing
else will. 1t places the name of the
store so strongly in the minds of the
people that they cannot think of dry
goods, clothing, shoes or drugs without
the name of that advertised store com
ing into their minds simultaneously.
By good persistent advertising cam
paign any business house can push its
way to the front. The very best medi-
um to use in your community is your
local newspapers, as it goes to the peo-
pie when their minds are easily i'm
pressed. The Ad-writer.

said Leo X. Steiner. II understand that
tho city has b four sprinklers for the

no doubt require twenty sprinklers to
do the work adequately.
81 think 1t would save the merchants
as much or more to have proper sprink-
ling facilities tnan a reduction in insur-
ance rates. Both are things much desired.
and IL one cannot be had, then let us
have the other 1 think more attention
should be given to this matter by the
merchants.
II am also told that there Is much
throat trouble in Birmingham due to
dist. hope that when Mayor-elect Ward
goes into office he will look a little more

kind in the campaign and have no doubt
he will keep it. The spring has hardly
