EPILEPSY is SOMETIMES
T. MISTAKEN FOR RABIES
BY EDWARD s. sCHMID.

Dogs at any age may be afflicted with
epilepsy, and when In fit are often
thought by the ignorant to be suffering
from rabies. Many a dog has paid the
penalty Of such mistake with his life.
and many Knowing fellow has, in
spite of the protests of an owner, de-
prived a wretched creature of its exist
ence, through confounding rabies with
epilepsy. 1t should be borne in mind
that excitable dogs arc more subject to
tAese fits than their more phiegmatic
brethren. The ailment is probably heredi-
tary.
Symptoms of Epilepsy.
Epileptic fits generally seize the dog
when he is in motion. He begins to walk
round with an unsteady gait; then he will
fall on his side. struggle violently, froth
at the mouth, and champ his jaws. Hence
the tongue is often wounded, and this
organ, as well as the gums and lips. turn
blue.
After struggling for few minutes the
dog becomes quiet, gets onto his feet,
with his tail between his legs, and looks
as IL he had just arrived from dreamland.
il not secured at this time. he will often
set Off at a galIop. perhaps for miles. or
until he falls IN another fit. as one is
often succeeded by others.
Proper Treatment.
The dog should first be made secure;
then, while the fit lasts. cold water should
be dashed IN his face After the seizure
has passed over. he should be put on
course of chorea cure AS an alternative
treatment, 1 submit the following: Hy-
drafted chlorai administered in q little
water. The dose is from i've grains for
. small dog Of about ten pounds to
twelve or fifteen grains for a large one
weighing about iD pounds. The hydrated
choral should be repeated every three
or four hours during the first day and
tbres times the following day. then =

NOVELTIES SEEN
BY The SHOPPER

The careful housewife who dislikes to
see the marks made on her polished
floors by castors on tables, chairs, &C.,
will be delighted with the new castors,
covered with a felt preparation.
A novel favor for the luncheon for the
bride-elect is a bonbon slipper made Of
white paper with touches Of gold. A
dainty silk bag which fits inside may be
used to hold anything the hostess wishes
to give her guests. The slipper costs 25
cent
Instead Of the round little coin purses
for the silver or gold chain pocketbook
there are fiat metal boxes which look
like the powder box. These hold four
nickels and four dimes, and the price
varies with the metal used.
One Of the new corsets Is boned from
the waistline over the hips. The upper
portion is an improved brassiere, which
holds superfiuous fat into place and is
cool. These sell at s1.5o to 81.
For the camper there Is compact
little box which holds an alcoholic stove,
folding drinking cup Of aluminium, and
small coffee pot These fit into each
other, taking up little room and cost from
81 to 81.

WAYS TO TRANSFER
EMBROIDERY DESIGN

Here are suggestions for transferring
the pattern before you to any material
before working.
Perhaps the easiest way Is the win
dow-pane" method. This Is successful
when the material is thin. like linen. ba-
tiste, &C. Pin the sheet of paper and
the material together and hold them up
against the glass Of window. With a
sharp pencil draw on the material the
design, which can be easily seen through
the goods. II one-half Of the design only
be given. unpin the paper and turn the
other side to the fabric. The strong
light behind will make II plain.
II you have carbon paper, you should
place the sheet between your fabric and
the newspaper. This latter Is on top.
With a sharp pencil go over the outline
Of the design. The impression will be
left In fine lines and Will last until
worked. This method Is successful on
heavy material.
The last way is also easy. On wax
paper or ordinary tissue paper trace the
pattern before you. When the design Is
completed. turn over the paper and out
line the pattern with a heavy lead PEN
ell. Then place the design down on the
fabric and redraw the outline. pressing
hard with the pencil. The pattern will
be transferred without difficulty.
Surely the way is easy.

OLD BROCADE IN
HIGH FAVOR NOW

AS the fashions seem to have gone back
nearly a century in line and general ef-
feet, so have the makers and designers
returned to bygone age for material and
fabric. Brocades are in high favor for
formal evening dresses at present and
lend themselves well to the quaint high
wasted effects and straight narrow
skirts which are now the mode.
Black and gold combinations, which are
perhaps the favorite Of the brocades, are
extremely beautiful. Ivory white with
pastel pink and corn color are also love-
ly, the soft pastel shades being particu-
larry dainty. But in addition to these are
the brilliant empire green's, East Indian
yellows, brilliant blues, deep amethyst,
and black.
The beauty Of the texture OF these
fabrics and the perfection Of the dye,
together with the large. though some
what conventional patterns, result In
wonderfully attractive fabrics.

MODERN Man MAKES
lNDGLGENTHUSBAND
Rejoices in Keeping His Wife
Young and Pretty.
CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY.


The law in those days gave grandfa-
ther every penny grandmother had on
their wedding day to do with as he
pleased, without rendering any account
to her. Custom made her his chatteI
and slave. apd he treated her as such.
1t was her place to cook and weave
and bear children and stay at home while
he Jared forth. And she had to do 1t.
There isn't a woman living who would
stand to-day to be treated by her hus-
hand as the humble dependent as her
grandmother was treated by her hus-
band.
The modern man accepts his wife aA
an equal. He realizes that she has rights
and he respects them. He makes of her
companion. He doesn't think that Just
being married to him Is picnic enough
for any woman. and that she should be
satisfied to stay in the home with no
other relaxation than its daily monot-
onous duties.
American Husband Indulges Wife.
In these days a man Is considered
pretty poor sort Of fellow even by
other men If he doesn't co something
actively to entertain his wife and make
husband doesn't have to be urged on by
public opinion. He indulges his wife,
often far more than he should, simply
because 1t gives him pleasure to do 1t.
He tries to save her hardships. be-
cause he rejoices in her keeping young
and pretty. He encourages her to dress
well. because he revels in the admiration
she excites. He wants her to keep up
her music or exercise her talents because
he has no jealousy of her successfully
pride in 1t.
AS for the modern husband debating
and insisting on obedience from her. he
would scorn such pettiness. The domestic
tyrant Is as dead as a door nail. No man
attempts that role, and no woman would
stand for 1t II he did

PENNY PUZZLE RACE
ENDS FRIDAY NOON
Something Special Will Be
Told Children Sunday.

Two more days remain to you in which
to solve the puzzle. "A penny for your
thoughts" the subject Of this weeks
prize contest
The new members tnat have come to
the puzzle circle through this interesting
| little puzzle have added up to gratify-
ing number. Many Of them are boys and
girls between twelve and fourteen years
Of age.
Among those bringing their solutions
personally to me was a little girl twelve
years old who had worked every spare
moment, she said, on the twenty-five pug
zle questions from Sunday until We'd

she told me, ''for you know 1t Is mighty
hard for just a little girl to solve a
puzzle before the grown-ups."
Children Have Special Prise.
1 asked her how she would 1ike some
special arrangement made whereby the
children could enter the contests in a
field of their own with a special prize
awarded them for which the grown-ups
would not contest at all
''Oh. that would be splendid"' she cried.

adding: Il know just loads of girls who

who would send in answers to the puzzle,
only they know they wouldn't win prize
with so many grown folks in the contest" I"
So when she went away I promised TO
tell her something very special next
Sunday when 1 announce the new puzzle,
and she promised in turn to tell all her
friends to watch for what I have to say
about special prize for children, out
side Of those offered every woman.
Certainly the things that may be found
on a penny has proven as popular a
puzzle as any / have ever seen.
'Ridiculously easy" declared one con-
testant, who brought her answers to me
and insisted that 1 look them over be-
fore she left the office.
Which did. finding four Of the twenty
two numbers wrong.
Few Have Found No. Fl.
Almost no one has succeeded in cor
rectly solving number q, and I am sorry
to say that some fifty lists have been
made ineligible for a prize because their
authors have submitted two and three
different solutions for certain numbers,
which was a distinct prohibition in the
rules that have been given for the con-
test all week.
This has been particularly true Of num-
Der 10, which Is Three weapons" the
answer TO which is one word
In several other numbers contestants
have put but a word making half the
answer, and an incorrect list.
Whatever the troubles of the Puzzle
Circle, the fun of the contest remains
the same.
IF there were no prizes at all, 1 would
work out the puzzle just the same"
wrote one reader, which is the sort n
spirit / like to see.
Remember that the contest closes at
noon on Friday, and get that solution of
yours that you are still working on in
to me before It is too late to win a prize
For even though the puzzle may be
fun enough in itself. winning a prize

CLOTHES.

One of the most pleasing signs of the times in the
matter of fashions is to be found in the garments
which are now by little children. The utmost
simplicity prevails in the cut, and also in the trimming
of these little frocks.
The long waist, which is known as the French
waist, is coming back with renewed favor this sum-
mer, and it assuredly looks well the little tots
who wear it. Ruf1es too are again showing, but they
are not in the full styles of few years ago. They
merely an excuse for the introduction of many bands
of insertion.
For morning wear dress is as well liked as the
straight, boxplat model, which has the material in

Russian Suit for Boys.

In the matter of boys clothing, the style changes
but little. The Russian frock, in form another,
remains the only style accepted by the best taste, and
the only trouble is to find way of varying these
little suits, that there will be complaint of
notony.
The of large detachable collars is one form of
decoration which is excellent and the of single and
double breasted closings, and of high low effects,
comprises the balance of variety possible.
We illustrate one little suit intended for small
boys of six years less. 1t has the

New York Abandoned Farms

To the Editor of The Sun-Sir: The
people of the State of New York should
support the State Department of Agri-
culture in it's brave fight against the
Western interests at the land and irri-
cation show in Madison Square Garden
this week. The Westerners have come
to New York with the avowed purpose
of attracting New York capital and
farmers to their far away States.
Veracity is not n of their fundamen-
tai virtues in this competition. New
York has been grossly misrepresented.
1t has been asserted that much of its
farm land has been abandoned and that
food products annot be raised with
profit on many New York State farms.
AS matter of fact we have some of
the richest farming land in the world
right here in this State. Commissioner
Pearson proves this in the very excel
lent exhibit which he has placed right in
the heart of the enemy's camp, by
which | mean the land show. The Com
missioner demonstrates just what sort
of work has been done with these So
called abandoned" farms when they
have been properly cared for. Some
of the best exhibits come from such
farms. Just at present the State is
engaged in the work of placing farmers
on abandoned lands.
If New York ever needed the loyal
support of it's natives and it's adopted
sons the time is now. Visitors to the
land show should not lend an undiscrim-
mating ear to the big talk of the West
ern boomers.

approximately, $500.
The subjects of the competition will
be:
l.. Organization of the methods of
evacuation of the wounded on the battle
field, comprising as complete an economy
as possible in little bearers.
q. Portable (%surgeons') washstands
for war.
3. Methods of packing dressings at
the aid stations and in the ambulance.
a. Wheeled stretchers.
5. Carriage of stretcher on mule
back.
6. Easily portable folding stretcher.
7. Transport of the wounded between
war vessels, hospitals ships and the
shore.
8. The best method of heating rail-
road cars by a system Independent of
steam from the locomotive.
9. The best model of a portable
Roentgen apparatus, permitting utili-
zation of X-rays on the battlefield and
at first aid stations.
No particular prize is allotted to a
special subject; but the best exhibition,
as decided by the judges, irrespective of
the subject, will be awarded the maxi
mum prize, and so on. Though this is
a new field of endeavor for most Amer
can inventors, the substantial monetary
rewards should result in many exhibits
being entered by them. They have not
fallen behind the inventors of other
countries in fashioning the destructive
agents of warfare, and now that an OPP
p~ortunity is given them to compete
with other countries in minimizing
the horrors of war, it is certain they
will not be found wanting.
