Marinette, for $4,000 Legault's little
son was attacked by dog owned by
Malacker and died. MaIacker resi-
ted suit on the ground that he had
had no previous knowledge of the
dogs yicousness. The father conten-
ded that under section 1920 of the
laws of Wisconsin such knowledge
was no longer necessar Y in a case
like his, and the supreme court up
holds HIM.
Where a complaint alleges that q
dog attacked and wounded person
who at the time was where he might
lawfully be and in the exercise of
ordinary care, says Chief Justice Win
slow in the opinion, lit is necessary
to go further and aIIege that the Cog
was vicious and mischieyous. Such
dog is necessarily vicious and a sep
aTIate allegation is unnecessary.

Your Lungs Strong

This advice is doubly important with
the knowledge that every three minutes
some one in the United States succumbs
to consumption and many refuse to
realize they are afflicted until tits too late.
It is after colds or sickness, from over
work, combining duties or when general
weakness exists that tubercular. germs
thrive because the resistive powers of
the body are weakened.
Only with fresh air, sunshine and
abundant rich blood can one hope to
arrest their progress, and the coneen-
trated fats in SCOTS Emulsion furnish
fuel for rich blood, and its rare nourish-
ment helps strengthen the lungs while
it builds up the forces.
II you work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or rundown SCOTS Emulsion is
the most strengthening food-medicine
known and is free from alcohol or stupe-
tying drugs. Avoid substitutes.

GRAIN GREATEST
SINGLE ITEM YET
It Forms Largest Portion OF
Cargoes Taken Through
the Panama Canal.

Panama, Dec. 3.-Grain for Europe
from north Pacific ports of the United
States. a 80 far formed the largest
single item OF cargo carried through
the canal, says the Canal Record. In
the two months and q half Of canal
operation ending November /, the ca
nal was used by II eastbound vessels
in this traffic. and eight vessels have
passed through from the Atlantic to
the Pacific in ballast, to return with
grain. The laden vessels have car
ried through an aggregate Of 1872
258 tons of grain. consisting of IT,
932 ton of barley and 49.326 tons
Of wheat. Counting 81 bushels of
wheat and 46 Of barley to the long
ton, the cargo amounted to 1885,
062 bushels of wheat and 3,354,872
bushels of barley, a total Of 5,179,934
bushels of grain.
The next largest single item of car
go handled through the canal during
the same period was nitrates. princi-
pally from Chile. This was carried
in IA vessels, and amounted to 99,126
tons. an average of 1850 tons to the
vessel. That the grain shipments
should havc exceeded those of nj
trates is contrary to the prediction
that the latter would form the larg-
est tenn but does not disprove that
prediction. as applied to n consid-
cradle period of normal world bust
ness. 1t appears that the grain traf-
fic is largely seasonal, and has been
stimulated recently by an increased
demand In Europe. coupled with a
heavy crop in the United States. while
