TALK OF MAD DOGS
MOSTLY BUNCOMB
DOG EXPERT GIVES SOME OF THE
REASONS FOR THE PECULIAR
ACTION OF DOGS AND SUGGESTS
SIMPLE REMEDIES.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
If Mayor Wards proclamation in re-
gard to muzzling dogs is carried out for
60 days the dogs of Birmingham will
be far more dangerous than now. When
you place a muzzle continually on your
pet canine, 1t will soon become sullen
and snappish, and will endeavor to
"even up by biting you whenever an
attempt is made to adjust his mask.
great many dogs cannot stand to wear
a muzzle at all. I have seen them jump
up and down, froth at the mouth and
stiffen out in At. An accidental bite
at this stage is dangerous. Rabies are
no more plentiful now than for years,
and all this hubbub caused by Mayor
Wards order is unwarranted. A simple
request to chain up dogs a short time
would have been sufficient and would
have been carried out to greater ex-
tent Besides the domains over which
the mayors order extends by no means
cover all the dogs in the district, and
the worthless ours Chose generally
causing the trouble) will continue to
roam.
l have owned in my kennel experience,
pups and all, probably 500 dogs, and
never have 1 been bitten except on
few occasions in separating bull ter
riers while fighting. Most all dogs of
| small breeds are bothered with loose
teeth, which at times are bound to
ache, and naturally will make them go
through peculiar antics; at another
time a bone may get in their throat;
and by far the worst trouble produc-
ing alleged rabies" is worms. Their
are two kinds of dangerous worms
stomach and tape. These worms will
sometimes form ball by mating to-
gether and by lodging in the intestines
cause fits. At any of the above symp
toms somebody will yell mad dog' the
small boy will chunk" a rock at him
and away the poor animal will go,
winding up by an officer shooting
somebody's pet dog. The next issues
of the daily papers will chronicle the
death of a mad dog, and thus the scare
is kept up.
Let everybody watch their dogs
teeth, pull out the loose ones; and when
the teeth wear down exposing the
nerves, apply arsenic to same and kill
the nerve. Dogs should be "wormed
out" at least three times a year with
some standard remedy This is not
idle talk, as L have experimental along
these lines with good results.
Still another cause of alleged
rabies is the mango. This will make
an animal irritable and mean, and an
application of some good remedy
should be applied all over the dog at
first signs.
A little more care of our pets will
do far more to improve the dog situa-
ton" than the punishment being meted
out by our mayor in his recent procla-
nation. ]. G. MOSES.

The Art of Being Hostess.

banquet of Lucullus, with a har-
raised hostess at the head of the table,
would soon react on the pleasure of the
diners.
Though everything goes wrong. though
the hostess realizes too late that she has
placed side by side, guests who are at
dagger's points with each other, and
although the waiter smashes up the cut
glass. the china, and spoils the gowns
of the pretty ladies present, the up-to-
date hostess-the woman of the world"
keeps a-smiling just the same. This
is the real art of being successful
hostess.
Straining after effect is not fault of
the ambitious hostess-at least it must
not be apparent No matter what time
or thought or effort has been given to
the preparations of the feast, 1T must
appear quite as a matter of course.
Naturally the menu of dinner has
a great deal of stress laid upon it, be-
cause mankind at large likes to eat. The
truly ambitious hostess knows full well
the limitations of her cook and never
attempts anything beyond her reach. She
fully realizes that simple menu de-
liciously cooked and daintily served is
far more satisfying than course after
course of badly prepared food.
Cold dishes should be absolutely cold
and hot dishes steaming hot-not luke
warm. The wines should be trapped
those that require icing, and those that
do not should be served properly
There is much besides the menu that
the successful hostess must see to. Con-
senality Is the greatest factor in enter
tanning of any kind and particularly is
this true of the dinner or luncheon. A
conglomerate company of uncongenial
guests at either of these functions is proof
positive of failure-it matters not now fine
a menu is served. nor how elaborate the
decorations may be.

The Age-Herald's Cook Book.

MUSHROOM STUFFING FOR TURKEY
Take six or eight small mushrooms,
peel, put into saucepan with a piece of
fresh butter and let simmer gently for
about eight minutes Drain liquor from
them and let cool; mince and mix with a
quarter pound of finely grated bread
crumbs. Add slight seasoning of salt,
cayenne, grated nutmeg, and grated
lemon rind, taking care that the mush-
room flavor is not overpowered.
Work one ounce of fresh butter into
forcemeat. bind it together with the yolk
of one egg and add as much of the but
ter in which the mushrooms are stewed
as it will take without being made too
moist.
Pound the mixture thoroughly, and It
will be ready for use. Fill turkey with
It, and send mushroom sauce to table
with it. Time to prepare forcemeat is
one hour.

LOCK SYSTEM FOR
CANAL Is WRONG

Boston, February ga sweeping de-
nunclation of the lock system for the
Panama canal was made tonight by
Philippe Jean Bunau-Varilla, formerly in
charge of the old French canal, to the
members of the Commercial club of this
city. The club two years ago formally
approved the lock system of construction.
The members listened with great interest
to Mr. Bunau-Varilla's statement that
the Gatun dam would not withstand the
pressure, as many of them participated
in visit to Panama two years ago in
company with the Commercial clubs of
Cincinnati and st. Louis.
1t was declared by the speaker that the
giving away of the Gatun dam would de-
stroy the canal in 10 minutes, and prove
one of the most dramatic catastrophes in
the history of public works.
such a thing is not q Dream" he de-
clared, "for it is not only probable, but
almost certain
Mr.. Bunau-Varilla declared that the only
solution was a sea-level canal 500 feet
wide and As feet deep, to be dug by
dredges.

The Motor Apron

1t is an Englishman who has evolved
the motor apron. He appreciated that
many a gown has become ruined, in mo-
torng, because the long coats would slip
apart in front. Accordingly he supplied
his coats with an apron. made of the
same material and lining as the coats
themselves. 1t is simply made, being a
square piece of material, with a gusset
inserted from the bottom quite to the
waist line. 1t is held in place by means
of straps which fasten about the neck
and one across the waist line They are
worn by men as well as women.

Negligee for Convalescent.

For the convalescent nothing could
make a nicer gift than a one-piece dress

material. There are several different pat
terms to be had in these one-piece gar

fashioned that but a short time Is re-
quired for the making. OF course, it is
quite possible to add handwork untold
to these accessories of the toilette, as
is the case with everything else in
Guided under the general term "dress."

The Plate Rail.

A plate rail in the dining room should
be about seven feet from the floor. 1t
should match the woodwork and can be
narrower or widhr, as it is intended for
holding plates or pitchers or tankards.
For plates, it is better to have the
grooved ledge, to keep them from break
Ing when Jared. Articles in constant
use should not be kept on the rail- for,
besides the liability Of their being broken
they have become part of the decorations
and are missed when taken down.
