Doc Meat as a Daily Diet.

Those VINO neafu eltneI VI Soii-
mander Peary's two lectures in Au-
eusta have not forgotten the great eX-
plorer's modest recital of hardships,
when dog meat secured by killing the
exhausted animals that were drawing
his 3loGges, was all that stood between
his party and starvation. While he
admitted that cold raw dog, or hot
cooked dog for that matter. had some
disadvantages as regular and soil
tary article of diet for many days at
time, il was nevertheless considerably
better than nothing and probably by
tors would imagine.
II seems that there are parts of the
world outside of the neighborhood OF
the north pole, and parts of the civil
lied world at that, where dog meat IS
n regular article of diet, not from the
absence of other kinds of food. but be-
cause the people enjoy eating the dog
meat and thrive on that kind of food.
Consul lift. who represents the United
States government at Annaberg, Sax
ony, in sending a recent report to
Washington, dwells at length upon the
great extent to which the people of
SaXony, and of the whole German En-
pire for that matter, depend upon dog
meat and horse flesh as articles Of diet.
Dogs killed under official inspection are
all recorded, of course, and it is
known that, with the high prices of
other kinds of meat in Germany, dogs
and horses are being slaughtered in in
creasing numbers. but it is suspected
that very large numbers of dogs, at
least. are killed without any record be-
ing kept. The stealing, killing and
eating of other peoples dogs is not I'M
common, and recently the police at Cas-
sci unearthed a private dog slaughter
house which had been in existence for
some time and depended for its supply
of animals mainly on thefts. This
sort of thing rather takes the point out
of the old familiar sausage joke
In SaXony there were killed last year
at official slaughter houses 1922
horses and 1886 dogs. and in the city of
ChemnitZ alone Cos dog and 1910 horse
| carcasses We're supplied to the trade
This was an increase of IS dogs and 81
horses over the preceding year, and it
was accompanied by a decrease of ! ,GS-
| in the total number of animals Of all
kinds slaughtered for food In all
| food last year, an increase of about 81
per cent. in two years. The advertis-
ing of horse meat for sale has long
been common, and regular ADVERTISE
| m"nts of dog meat are now OCCASIONAL
ly seen
This transition to cheaper grades of
| meat has not been due to increasing
| poverty in the population of Germany
On the contrary, so far at least as
| thoSe portions OF the people well
enough off to pay income taxes are
| concerned, there seems to have been a
very rapid increase in wealth of late
years. Since 1892 the increase in tax
| able income in the empire has been
about so per cent, and since 1900 it has
been 30 per cent. The number of per
sons liable for such taxes has in
| creased since 1900 from 1850 900 to
| d,675. 100.

A large number of schooners and

American Ice company to carry ice
from the kenncbec river houses. The
ice season is on in full swing and
thousands of tons are carried out of

1t is hardly expected that all the
ice cut on the Kennbec this season
VIII be shipped, but if the weather
continues hot for the next two
months it is not unlikely that nearly
every ION may find a market. There

BYSTANDER SHOT
 IN PISTOL DUEL
Two texans Try to Settle Quar-
 rel With Pistols
Ws'UNDFD HAN WILL DIE
The Fighters Empty Their Guns at Each Other, But Without Deadly Effect Except Upon a Young
 Man Standing Near.

Bowie, Texas, September 9-There was pistol duel on the streets here yes terday that was the reopening of an old town feud, the result of which was the wounding of both men engaged in the battle and fatal results to Arthur stoner, young man. who was an ia- nocent bystander.
 Walter Hargroves Is q man who form erly conducted frosty" joint in the town. such a place being where non intoxicating liquors are sold in local op- tion precincts. Hargroves gathered a lot of trouble on his hands and has criminal cases pending in this county. It was to look after one of these cases at Montague. the county site, that liar groves returned here.
 When he arrived in town he walked up the street to the bank, telephoned for a team to drive across the country and started to the stable for the rig. He met Porter Brodie. a barber with whom he had previous trouble. AS the men passed Brodie drew a pistol and struck liar groves over the head. He sank to the ground, but raised up with his pistol drawn for action, and the duel com menced. Arthur Stoner, an innocent by stander. took to cover but just as he was entering a nearby restaurant he was shot in the back and may die. Hargroves and Brodie emptled their guns at each other and then Hargroves started to run. Brodie followed him and beat him un- mercifully about the head, both men be- ing wounded. A former employe of liar groves interferred in the affair, and the men were separated Brodle being taken home, while Hargroves was carried into a nearby meat market to have his wounds dressed.
 The affair created a great deal of ex- citement and within a few minutes there were 150 men on the streets armed with shotguns. They were after Hargroves, but the officers met them and insisted that Hargroves would be protected; that he had given bond and would be sent out of town on the first train. They were not well satisfied until the officers de- clared that Hargroves would be taken to the train and that many guns would be guarding him as were hunting for him. Hargroves left on the train.
 There is a great ceal of feeling iR the town over the affair.

TRADE DEPENDS ON
 DEEP WATERWAY
Panama Canal Will Benefit the
 West and South
ANOTHER CANAL NEEDED
John Barrett Says Federal Aid Should Be Given to Ship Canal Project From Chicago to the Mis-
 sissippi River.

Chicago. September 9-"The great middle west will control the trade of the entire west coast of South America when the Panama canal Is completed providing the deep water from the lakes to the gulf is constructed Other wise it will be Japan Germany and England which will exercise commercial sway over this vast empire to be opened up."
 This statement was made yesterday by John Barrett director of the In ternatfonal Bureau of American Repub- lies. who has been in Chicago for sey- eral days conferring with men inter ested in the deep waterway proposi- ton. It is his contention that the fed . eral government should lend all the aid necessary for the construction of this ship canal to make the great ad- vantages of the Panama canal available to the Mississippi valley. MT. Barrett said:
 "It is not excessive to estimate the value of products which these repub- lies will then be purchasing from for eign countries at s5OO,oOo,oOo.
 The major portion of these supplies will come from America if the great manufacturing centers of the middle west are provided with water trans portation. It requires no stretch of ina gination to conceive boats or barges loaded in Chicago, Joliet. or oth CT points in this manufacturing district making the entire trip America has been slow to improve its waterways much more so than any other of the great powers and it is time we awoke to the advantages to be btained."

MAIDEN OF SCANTY
 CLOTHES WILL WED
MISS PALMER, WHO HAS AT TRACTED ATTENTION BY HER DRESS, WILL MARRY A GREEK POET.

Bar Harbor, Me, September e.-Miss Evelyna Palmer, daughter of Mrs. Robert Abbe of New York. will be married here today to Angelo Sikelianas, Greek, who has won recognition in this country for his poems and philosophical writings.
 The marriage is causing interest not only because of the union of the young American girl and the Greek poet, but because of the social prominence of the brides family and her own .unconven- tional ideas in the matter of dress.
 Possessed of an independent fortune in her own right, Miss Palmer has travelled much. On her last voyage she returned from Europe August 3l aboard the Lor- raine and was the most observed person in the crowded first cabin because her attire was that of a Greek. of the days when Greece was the home of art and lIt- erature.
 Clad in a loose robe of Tyrian purple, and wearing sandals on her bare feet. Miss Palmer had to bear constant curious scrutiny from her fellow passengers She told friends that she had adopted her unusual attire principally because of it's comfort and her belief that 1t was the pnast haalthful
