Chicago's health authorities are
starting an active campaign against
diphtheria, the disease which is giving
the department the hardest fight at
present. DR.. Evans, the Health Com
missioner. declares that the diphtheria
patients themselves are not the great
est menace to the health of the COM
munity, but that the disease is spread
by those who have recovered and have
resumed their daily activities, or by
those who have been associated with
diphtheria patients. According to DR.,
Evans, it is possible for perfectly
healthy person to carry diphtheria
germs in his mouth or clothing The
aim of the department will be to isolate
all patients until they are absolutely
free from the diphtheria bacilli.

WHY THEY DO NOT.

DR.. H. /. Rasmus, pastor OF the
First Methodist church, Spokane,
says: THE new marriage law is
foolish and imperative because all a
couple need to do is to go to another
state. l am told that the number of
marriages in Portland, Vancouver
and Idaho cities has more than
doubled since the law went into eff
feet. 1t touches me more than most
OF the other ministers, since many
people were In the habit of coming
to Spokane to have me marry them.
The number whom / marry has been
greatly reduced"
Here is a ministerial view OF the
Washington marriage law, as con-
strued by one OF the Spokane minis
ters, who admits that his pocketbook
is touched and for that reason he
calls the law foolish" and would
evade It II possible. For the same
reason advanced by him with regard
to the Washington marriage law To-
cal option law in this state would be
imperative, because people could 90
to Spokane and buy booze. His com
plant is that the number of people
he marries has decreased, proving
concluslvely that his opposition to
the law Is purely mercenary, and he
would undoubtedly marry imbeciIes
or other disqualified persons If they
had the price, and the foolish" law
did not interfere with his work. The
Spokesman-Review has asked the
question: why people do not at
tend church," We submit Rev. DR..
H. /. Rasmus' statements, quoted
above, as the best answer that can
be given to the question.

ALL KINDS OF DOGS
WITH GENTRY BROTHERS.
Expert Trainer Likes the Common
Mongrel.

Expert Trainer Likes the Common
Mongrel.
There are all kinds of dogs around
the Gentry Brothers famous shows,
which comes to Occur d'Alene, Thurs
day, July 15, and while most Of them
are of aristocratic origin and are
tony" to the last degree, there are
many In the canine department Of the
trained animal shows whose family
trees have been badly twisted and
who emerge from the ancestral forest
to receive the classification of mon
grel."
In the opinion OF William Wells,
chief animal trainer with the Gentry
shows, the "mongrel" or eur" Is
more apt to be quick study" and a
god performer" than the dog Of high
degree, and Mr.. Wells explains his
position in this wise:
THE high-bred dog has the stun
in him all right and will, under
proper conditions, make a good per-
forming dog. but as a general thing
the dog with a pedigree has led the
lazy life ever since he can remember,
and so have his parents. until laziness
just comes natural. The high-bred
dog Is all right at bench show, but
he doesn't ordinarily make good at a
hard days work,
Now, the 'mongrer has had to
hustle for the better part Of his dogs
life. In some cases the eat and sleep
and drink rule has applied to him.
but generally he has had to get up
and scratch II he wanted to eat. He
has had to look out for himself. and
that has made him bright aud active
and willing to learn.
For appearance sake we choose
our trained dogs from the canine aris-
tocracy. but such q course spells
harder work for us, For my part, II
I were going to organize q troupe OF
trained dogs would be entirely will
ing to so to any dog pound and pick
up my pupils there. AS a matter Of
fact, we did have a fne dog named
Scout" which we rescued from the
dog pound In Chicago three years ago
and who, although he was apparently
a 'mongrel. became one of the best
trained dogs in the troupe. Aristoc-
racy doesn't always mean intelligence
or worthiness-in dogdom as we'll Is
in other walks of life.
How many kinds of dogs are
there? Well, there are the Russian
wolf hounds, the st. Demands, the
spitzes, collies. cocker spaniels. shep-
herds, grayhounds, beadle hounds,
Decker hounds, German poodles. Rus
sian poodles, East Indian poodleh,
sky terriers, Scotch terriers, Irish ter

haired dogs, long haired dogs, thin
dogs, fat dogs, short dogs. long dogs.

much use for a curfew law as he would
have for a regulation requiring winter
fannels to be worn on and after a GER
tain date and for a prescribed period Of
time.
This Is the first time Mr.. West has ex-
pressed himself on the subject which has
been receiving the attention of parents
Of Washington children. He has, how
ever, been reading accounts of the prog
ress of public opinion on the proposition
to keep children away at night from
harmful lettering places.
He Is Not For It.

put my children to bed? or when I shall

their nighties be?
