Never take your dog out for run
directly after he has had meal. If
the exercise is at all hard the food will
remain undlgested for hours. 1t is best
not to allow dog to play even directly
after lie has swallowed his dinner. In
little time he can do so, but do not
encourage him to romp about.

The unwritten law was the tustifica-

by reason of the prominence of the

Strong fired five bullets into the

secure certain advantages over France
In the matter of trade through the
arrangements which have been acted
upon favorably by the upper house In
Berlin, 1t may also be announced that
the state department Is prepared to

GERMANY OUT OF IT
Will Take No Part in Discussion Of
Limitation CT ArmamentS.
RElCHSTAG OPPOSES PLAN

Speakers Of All Parties Unite In De-
cIaring That the Government Dele
gates at the Coming Peace Confer
ence Must Hold AIoof.
Berlin, May 1.-The question OF
the limitation of ornaments received
q thorough ventilation In the reichstag
during a general debate on Germanys
foreign relations. Speakers of various
parties pointedly suggested to Chan
celior Won Buelow that Germany
should take no part In the discussion
of the limitation of ornaments at The
Hague peace conference. Won Buelow,
In reply, said that Germany did not
object to letting other powers discuss
the matter, but would hold aloof. This
statement was received with approval
by the house.
Continuing, the chancellor referred
to the recommendations of the first
peace conference at The Hague.
Germany" he said, has complied
with these recommendations, but has
not found a formula which takes into
account the diversity in the geograph-
icai, economic and military positions
Of the various states, or one which
would be calculated to remove these
diversities and serve as a basis for a
treaty"
Andrew Carnegie's recent utterances
to the effect that the decision between
war or peace lies in the hands OF the
German emperor called out decided
protest during the debate from Baron
Won Hertling. Clerical He said he
recognized the fact that Mr.. Carne-
gie's speech was thoroughly friendly
to Germany, but 1t was IAN illustra-
tion of the misconceptions entertained
abroad respecting Germany as being
an automatically governed country
Germany, he added, was complicated
political mechanism, In which for
eign policy which opposed the Will OF
the German people was impossible.

RESULT OF TWO-CENT FARE
Railroads Forced to Readjust Inter
state Rates.

Chicago, May deductions In
passenger rates to hundreds of points
In Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. Michigan,
Pennsylvania and other states are to
be decided upon at special meeting
OF the Central Passenger association
now in session here.
The railroads are forced to make
the reductions in rates on Interstate
traffic because of the 2-cent fare laws
adopted by Indiana and Ohio.
This action will reduce the Chicago
Cleveland rate from $7.75 to 81 and
make corresponding reductions to hun
dreds Of other places. Generally
speaking the fares will be reduced half
cent a mile for the mileage in In
diana included in any trip.
No change will be made In the Chi
cago-New York rate by the 2-cent laws
of Ohio and Indiana, but when the
Pennsylvania law goes into effect Sept.
80 the railroads must make reduc-
tion of about $3.50 in the Chicago
New York rate and like reductions to
all other Easter \ oints.

DIFFERS WITH DOCTOR
President Reiterates His Views on
Subject Of Race Suicide.
ANSWERS MAGAZINE ARTICLE

Declares That the Decrease of Births
in Well to Do Families Tends to the
elimination instead OF the Survival
OF the Fittest.
New York, May In letter to
the editor OF the Review of Reviews
President Roosevelt takes exception to
certain statements made In an article
on 1.-THE Doctor in tho Public School,"
published in the April number of that
periodical, and takes occasion to re-
new his expressions on the subject Of
race suicide.
This writer states clearly" says
the president, that it Is an erroneous
idea to assume that the average FAM
.ly should have larger number Of
healthy children than the present
birth rate showed. The vital statis-
tics of state like Massachusetts
show that there the average native
American family of native American
descent has SO few children that the
birth rate has fallen below the death
rate. This. Of course, means race sui
eide and 1t ought to he understood that
II after a while there are no children
to go TO school the question OF their
health in school would not even be
academic"
elimination Of the Fittest.
Continuing, Mr. Roosevelt says:
"The greatest problem of civilization
Ia to be found in the fact that the well
to do families tend to die out; there
results, In consequence, a tendency to
the elimination. instead of the sur
vival, of the flttest and the moral attl-
tude which helps on this tendency is,
of course, strengthened when 1t is
apologized for and praised in maga-
zine like yours.
"Our people could still exist under
oil kinds of iniquities In government;
under debased currency; under Off
cial corruption; under the rule of a
