CANNES Fed on Meats Preserved
With Benzoil and Borax.
ANIMALS SOON GROW SICK
One Dog Fed on Benloil, and One on
Borax Foods---Both Grow Thin
The Pure Food Dog
Grows Fat.

CHICAGO, June 23.-A dispatch to
the Record Herald from Topeka, kas.'
saws that even the stomach of dog
rebels when fed on meats preserved with
benxoil and borax was demonstrated yes
terday by DIR. j. s. Crumbine secretary
of the board of health in an address be-
fore the county and city health officers
of the state.
DR.. Crumbine told of experiments he
had made on dogs, and with the results
as his text he urged that the state board
of health limit the use of preservatives
to food stuffs that are to be shipped
long distances during the summer
months. DIR. Crumbine said that on May
! he took three dogs of the same age.
Every morning he fed each one half a
pint of fresh lean meat, at noon each
pint of milk and at night each dog had
another half pint of meat. The meat
was fresh, without bones, and was not
scraps. The food for one day as treated
with one per cent solution of benzoate.
For the second one per cent solution
of borax was used. The third dog was
fed untreated milk and meat.
Within two weeks the benzoate dog
became cross and refused to have any
thing to do with the others. 1t lost its
appetite and in six weeks had gained
only three pounds in weight. The borax
dog did net become cross. but within
ten days its general health declined and
it refused to drink the boated milk. In
four weeks it had to be coaxed to eat
meat even tasteless boracic acid. The
dog gained one pound in weight in six
weeks but became listless. The dog that
had been fed untreated meat, gained in
weight an average of one pound a week
during the test and at no time did it
become listless or lose its appetite.

 CUTICURA REMEDIES

."Ouv baby had that dreadful com piaint, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted him for several months, commencing at the top of his head, and at last covering his whole body. His sufferings were untold and constant misery, in fact, there was nothing we would not have done to have given him relief. The family doctor seemed to be wholly incapable of coping with the caser and after various experiments of his, which resulted in no benefit to the child, we sent to Mazon, H., to druggist and got Q full set of the Cuticura Remedies and applied as per directions, and he began to improve immediately, and in about three OF four days began to show Q brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in year. In about ninety days hs was fully recovered, with the exception of rough skin, which IS gradually disappearing, and eventually vii, % replaced by healthy one.
 Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say in their favor, foE they cer~ tainly saved our baby's life, for he was the most awful sight that ever beheld, prio, to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1926 Appleton Ave-, Parsons, Kan, July lSs IQ0hO t{a

FREAKs OF THE LAVA.

At one house, which had been entire- lly surrounded by the flood, but not de- stroyed, one saw people, on top of the mass of lava, entering the upper win dows, with ladder and bringing forth their household goods, to transport them to a place of safety. One vine- yard was surrounded on three sides by this dividing current, and 1t was possi- ible to walk into 1t among the lines of trimmed vines and to perceive the fire
 still glowing in the towering walls of lava on each side. The people attri- butte this remarkable phenomenon to the miraculous intervention of their Madonna, "Our Lady of the Snows,' with whose sacred image they had con- fronted the all devouring monster sweeping implacably down on their ap- parently doomed homes. Step by step the priests and the faithful singing the Litany, retreated as the awful flood swept on and still the sound of singing and prayer rose above the fearful roar

That day he bade his wife adieu and started towards the club. On his way there he called on one of his friends and made an appoint- ment to take luncheon with him at the club. After chatting for short time with the off1cers}who were about he walked over to room ten to which he had been assigned A few minutes la ter muff1ed report was heard and one of the officers in an adjoining room hurried to Leut. Brereton's room and found him laying in a pool of blood his revolver, which was a new service 45 colt laying close beside his right hand. He had apparently deliberately opened his trunk, taken the revolver out of the holster which he had dropped back in- to the trunk and closed the lid, and left on a chair near the window of his room. He had evidently placed the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth when he fired the shot as the bullet passed through his head and through
