At WHAT AGE DOES A PUP Be
COME a DOG?

In the Council last Mondav evening
we understand one "f the propositions
that came before that W. rthy body
was the Dog Question
The man who owns one of those
worthy animals must pay for the privi-
lege--and to own a good dog is a
sign Of social position. To walk
down the street with dog and leash
means that you are a devotee of the
dramatic art, a member OF ladies'
club or some such.
But let the dog walk with you
without this pardphernalia OF Twen-
tieth Century dogdcm is suggestive OF
i'll training and just waller dog with
all tha, it implies We forget the
Monks with their St. Bernards, the
Adriatic Daschunds. or Ouida's Dog
oi Flanders.
But laying aside sermon on mans
best friend, we take up the Council
and Dogs. The police heretofore has
received IS cents for his services in
bagging the dog and incidentally get
ting rs cents to license the same to
show that it is dog.
Our present police wants 80 cents
wants the dog tied when he comes and
wine supper served in celebration of
the event of the ours entrance to dog
society. 1t is a sort of dog debut
Anything walking on four legs, ex-
ciuding various types of what is com
monty known as cats Especially after
dark that has brass tag duly fur
nished by right of vote and ordinance
OF the Town Fathers and paid for to
the Police shows that it is a dog, duly
entered into that genial society OF
dogs and men. Every dog has his
day" and his has begun.
The question before the Council was
what just constituted dog. AT just
what age does a pup become dog.
One member said he knew OF pup
7yc&rs old. according to his master.
\ pup don't have to be registered.
Some masters prefer puDs to dogs
then this saves the dog tax, too.
Some dogs are always pups just like
folks-some OF us never grow up.
AT just what age does Bessie be
come Elizabeth" or just when does a
pup become a dog.
Some OF the Council held that a
pup is a dog, so should be licensed
HIS Was lilct Will llle ltSlC llDl Sluu-
led when at college-that dog is
not necessarily pup.
Others claimed if a dog was taxed
75 cents pup should be taxed ST. SC
for anyone knows pup is more de-
structive than dog and usually pups
flock together They have the habit
OF breaking out in colonies. There is
this advantage in this ruling--that al
pups would suddenly become dogs.
The most disagreesble thing of the
whole matter is live dog is worth Y
cents to the town when dead dog
brings in a 81 to the Police This is q
temptation to the Police. 1t is never
been tested here but we hold thi:
unconstitutional. 1t is illegal to SC
tempt man.

eve speak of man as the
wooer," says a recent writer on
women, "but falling in love is really
mediated by the woman. BY dress,
behavior. cOquetry, modesty, re-
serve and occasional boldness, she
gains the attention of man and in
fatuates him."
Consider the predicament of the
girl busy at such entertaining
sport, who finds herself suddenly
becoming fat. She knows by in
stinct that she cannot infatuate
long if she be fat, so to exercise
and diet instanter to save the day.
They may-but there is an easier
way.
One can take off up to pound a
day without causing wrinkles,
stomach disturbances or the least
bother This can be done in old
cases of overfatness as well as re-
cent ones. A fine figure can be
saved or trim one regained. Sim

same to your druggist for large

go with you everywhere in your
satchel. Take a tablet daily: off
comes the fat, nice and uniformly

WHY SALNS FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA

Since the old fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood
has been given up by scientists,
many different salves have been
tried for skin diseases. But it has
been found that these salves only
clog the pores and can not pene-
trate to the inner skin below the
epidermis where the eczema germs
are lodged
Thistle quality of penetrating

success of the only standard liquid
