Dogs Have "NIotor Heart. !"

Motor heart in dogs is a new
disease" says one of the Kings
veterinary surgeons. 1.-THE motor car
possesses a curious fascination for
dogs. They enjoy the swift motion,
the exciting, scorching rush through
the air as much as their masters
But the veterinary surgeon in many
cases is obliged to curb this canine
fondness for. the car, because of the
injurious effect on the dogs heart"
The symptoms of motor heart" in
dogs are enlargement, f1abbiness and
general weakness of that organ. The
dog looks restless and excited. The
heart beats are rapid and weak.
Breathing is difficult and distressed.
The only cure is total abstinence
from car rides.

Sheen Betravs His Fellows,

Andy and Tim are partners in the
sheep business at the stockyards,
and with their silent partner they
are likely to remain so as long as
he is sufficiently ablebodied to follow
his present occupation of separating
the sheep from the goats" Captain
is white Cotswold sheep weighing
about 200 pounds. 1t is his duty to
assist his owners in loading and I'M
loading sheep by leading them from
and to the pens and freight cars.
AS soon as his work of guiding to
a car is done Captain slyly steps out
of danger.
When he has drove to deploy
from the car he goes among them,
mixes up with the sheep few
minutes, just to calm their fears,
and then trots away, the gang most
obediently following in his wake.
Once at the pen, he leaves them and
goes for a new drove.-Chicago

"Only A Souse."

Mrs. Auchenheimer of 20 West
One Hundred and Nineteenth Street
thought she heard burglar trying
to open the front door at A. M.
With broom she tapped on the win
dow of 27, next door, where dwell
DR.. Jackes and his son Joseph. Then
she peeked from behind a curtain
and whispered "Burglars!"
DR.. Jackes and Joseph understood.
Straightway the latter got his revol-
yer and sent lead through the air.
Windows went up and from house to
house there went the word Burg
lars"
Half dozen persons telephoned
to police headquarters and 10 po-
licemen were soon running on the
double quick. The entire block was
surrounded. One of the guardians
of the peace tripped over a PROSTATE
form on the floor of the vestibule and
he dragged it out on the stoop.

She Has Eight Husbands.

After ordering goods in his name
from various stores and calling at
his home to see him at $50 in the
morning, Soma Willett, a comely
young woman, gave the final touch
of surprise to Russell S. Tucker of
317 West Forty-seyenth Street when
she declared in the West Side Court
that she had right to do so, be-
cause she was his wife. Before Mr..
Tucker, himself only 23 years old,
had chance to blushingly deny the
statement, the young woman calmly
remarked: I'm also married to
DR.. Ward, Frank Denison and five
Others" Thereupon Magistrate Ker-
nochan committed her to Blackwell's
Island for one months in default of
a bond OF $100 to keep the peace.

Dog With Ice Appetite.

There is little brindle bull ter
rier not more than three blocks from
the Post building, which has deve-
Hoped an unwonted appetite for ice.
Each morning as the wagon with
the CONCEALED fluid arrives Pansy
may be seen at the door in an atti-
tude of expectancy. Directly that
the small chunks begin to fall Pan
sy gets busy chewing ice and keeps
the game up until the wagon rolls
away.
The driver says the other morn
ing: That's the only dog I ever
ran across with thirst for ice. They
tell me it doesn't drink, so I'm in
clined to believe it's real Esquimau
strayed from home. The owner tells
me that one morning lately, when
| was held up and didn't get here
on time, that darned dog howled two
solid hours for ice. Washington

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health,

1t Is worth knowing that a change
in food can cure dyspepsia. Il deem
it my duty to let you know how
Grape-Nuts food has cured me of in
digestion.
al had been troubled with 1T for
years, until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape-Nuts food to be
used every morning. I followed in
structions and now am entirely we'll.
"The whole family like Grape
Nuts, we use four packages a week.
You are welcome to use this testi-
monial as you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped
by the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that
it is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stom-
ach as the food she had been using;
1t also contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system.
If that part CT the human body IS N
perfect working order, there can be
no dyspepsia, for nervous energy rep
resents the steam that drives the en-
CINE.
When the nervous system Is run
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can
be used by small children as we'll as
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

Changes In The Blood.

In an effort to determine what
chemical change takes place in the
blood with age, two French investi-
gators, c. Dhere and G. L. Grimme,
have been examining the blood of
dogs and rabbits for calium content.
1t was noted that in dogs the pro-
portion of calcium in the blood de-
creased regularly with age, but no
generalization from this can be
drawn, inasmuch as rabbits blood
did not exhibit similar characters
tic, the proportion of calcium vary
ing greatly with individuals of the
same age.

HOMEMADE CATARRH CURE

ANY one can mix right at home the
best remedy OF its kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the following
prescription, it is supposed, because OF
it's promptness in driving from the blood
and system every yestige OF catarrh
poison, relieving this foul and dread
disease, no matter where located. To
prepare the mixture: Get from any good
pharmacy one-hah ounce Fluid Extrect
Dandeloin, one ounce Compound kargon
and three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. Shake well and use IN
teaspooniul doses after each meal and
at bedtime.
This is a harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has a peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues OF the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain from
the blood and system all catarrhal
poisons, which, il not eradicated, are
absorbed by the mucous membrane, and
an open sore or catarrh is the result.
Prepare some ard try it, as it is the
prescription OF an eminent catarrh spe-
cialist Of national reputation.
