The popular fear of consumption, ac-

these facts concerning consumption

this phthisiophobia has driven people"
The bacillus of consumption. DR.. HUI

COMFORT FOR HORSES.
Continuation Of Hame, Collar and

Combination Of Hame, Collar and
D~reastplate.
HOrsemen are divided as to the use
of the halne and Dutch" collar on
their animals. Each has its draw
backs and advantages. The hame col
lar Is said to rub the animals unduly.
On the other hand. it is cOntended by
some that the Dutch collar interferes
with breathing and Is responsible for
other ~unfavorable conditions.
An effort to combine the two has
been made by Grant e. Bennett of
Cleveland. o. The hame collar and the
breast collar are secured together at
the lower part of the former. There
are two short, adjustable tugs passing
from each of these in order to further
equalize the distribution Of the weight.
The inventor says that the two col
lars thus adjusted work together in
perfect harmony and accomplish the
object desired by protecting the entire
lower shoulder from sores owing to
the pliable breastplate taking the bear

that the horse Is enabled to apply his
strength Mt the lowest possible level

Though a man may squeeze a dollar
Till the eagles eyes turn white,
You can still get money from him
If you go about 1t right,
And it's really very simple
If you only know the plan
Guaranteed in any climate
And to work on any man.
Though he freezes to a dollar
Like u stocking to a burr
Or a girl of six and thirty
To a MAI who smiles On her,
You may still extract 1t from him,
Not perhaps to his delight.
As I said in the beginning.
II you go about 1t right.
Is 1t for the pleasant asking,
Backed up by q dimpled smile.
That you get his tight held dollars
And make inroads OF his pile?
Do you tell him that the heather
And the poor, d~owntrodGen Turk
Are In need of education?
Well. that scheme will hardly work.
Much more primitive the method
Used to make this man produce.
Tie him with a six inch cable
Tightly, SO he can't get loose.
When you've bound him to a willow
With a knot that's tied to stay
Leisurely go through his pockets.
Really, it's the only way.
