TO SAVE FID0 FROM FRIENDS
Lovers of Dogs Form Society 10 Pro-
tect Them from Too Much


LONDON. Feb. 6-tSpecial)-Some hu-
name people here are forming a society
which has fer its object the protection OF
pet animals from the overwhelming kind
ness" Of their mistresses. What these
pampered. overfed creatures suffer at the
hands Of their adoring owners is known
but too well to professional vets, who
are just now in greater requisition than
ever. These men find themselves compelled
TO study forms Of diseases never before
heard of in the animal world. OF late lap
and other pet dogs nave been showing
symptoms Of nerve troubles hitherto I'M
known and regarded as the outcome abso-
lutely of the lives which they are made to
lead.
Fashionable dogs not infrequently SIT al
the table beside their mistresses and 20
through almost every course with them. A

what else was on the menu a whole fowl
should be served each night TO Patrick.
He flourished on it for some time. but
eventually developed grave symptoms and
q vet. being called in. pronounced that
though the dog was quite q young one. he
WAS suffering from fatty degeneration Of
the heart. Pat had to be taken TO a nurs-
ing home for an operation to be performed
upon him. Now - has 20 live on barley
water, very old brandy and a variety OF
heart tonies. He looks venerable and de-
crepit instead Of being in his prime.
The noise OF the GOLD and silver jeweled
bells with which mondsines love TO orna-
mcnt the necks Of their pets have in some
cases produced nerve irritation and made
the little animals snappy and c~antanksrous.
Another source Of nerve trouble has been
the high boots and jswelsd belts which 30
many small dogs have been wearing Of Iala.

animal. Some dogs can stand any amount

When the canal is finished every man who
has borne his share in making it an accom-
plished fact will receive a medal Of honor.
But when the story of the great ditch is

The part that women are taking in the
building Of the Panama caral is unique
so far as the records show in the history
Of great public works. The record Of the
Tower Of Babel is Of the briefest and only
affords material for the imaginative para
grapher who would also be a humorist.
The building Of the Pyramids is lost in OBJ
security. n organization Of Chinese So
ciety with its immutable traditions lakes
the presence OF women along the slopes
which the Great wall climbs and descends
and along the level lengths Of the grand

A search Of the records of the French
attempt to build the canal gives a no more
pleasing or important account Of the part
taken by women on the isthmus than the
story Of how little Mile. de Lesseps CTo-
totte) EavB the first stroke 20 the great

Now to this same sccne hundreds of
American women and children nave gone
fearlessly to live. Henry Savage Lander
says that the Americans are monomaniacs
on two subjects, sanitation and educa-
ton. This is an indictment Americans can
we'll afford to let stand. Thanks to the
medical department of the army. as repre-
sented by Colonel Gorgas. sanitation ap-
piled to the canal zone has taken away its
~reproach.

BILL OF INTEREST TO
THE FARMERS
A. and Il. Botanist's Proposed Pure
Seed Law Opposed BY
Seed Men.

College Station. Texas. Jan. 80
Dr. o. NJ Ball, botanist at the a. and
NJ. College of Texas. has learned that
dealers in seeds are opposing the
bill he has prepared for passage by
the present legislature requiring puri-
ty in all seeds offered for sale. At
his laboratory at College Station he
has a thousand samples of seeds
and weed pests, that are damaging to
any farm His proposed law is in the
interests of the farmer and he says
there is no reason seeds offered for
sale should not be pure. The oppo-
sition to the bill comes mostly from
outside the state. Some farmers who
have been benefited by what DR. Ball
has told them of weeds on their farms
have written to their legislators urg-
ing the passage of the bill. 1t is de-
signed to protect all the ferns in
Texas from pests and thistles.

Ten Thousand Walking Advertise
mentS

Ten Thousand Walking ADVERTISE
ments.
Swift & Co. are increasing their
capitalization from $50,00O,O0O to
S6O,0OO,000. In modest statement
sent to their stockholders they make
the interesting announcement that
their $4,000 shares are at present
held by over 10000 persons. There
is a distinct advantage to any large
corporation in having its stock wide
~ distributed, and particularly so in
the case of a concern like the Swifts,
who are selling under trademark
names. The more stockholders they
have. the more rooters in the bleach
cries. The housewife with her little
block of ten shares buys the Swift
products and talks them up among
her friends. She feels proprietary
interest in the house and no amount
of competitive advertising is going to
get her patronage away. A phalanx
of 10 900 such joint proprietors, scat
tered through the length and breadth
of the land, is an auxiliary advertis-
ing force which no concern, however
large, can afford to despise.
1t is to be presumed that Swift &
Co. could not have secured such wide
distribution ftheir stock unless they
had deliberately planned and fostered
the movement. The idea is worth
consideration even by smaller COR
porations. 2-3-1
