The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-09-01

Los Angeles, CaI.-The medical
profession is extending its wonderful
healing powers to the dumb animal
world.
The old idea that a brute must die
if it were manned or famed or suffer-
ing from any physical i'll is fading
with the old-time Authorizations born
Of thoughtlessness.
One of the most remarkable in
Stances of surgical aid applied to a
four-footed creature took place in
Los Angeles.
The patient was an elephant.
The operation was a difficult one
upon the great, awkward animals

prove fatal to the unfortunate beast,

and which gave him many hours of
intense suffering, were removed by
aid of the knife
The creature, a ton and a half of
him, wasn't the easiest patient the
skilful surgeons ever operated upon.
But he was one of the most grateful
After the wound had been dressed
and the poor beast understood, from
the cessation of pain, that he had
been wonderfully helped, he dropped
down on his knees and pushed his
great rough-surfaced head out to be
scratched. This Is a fashion he has
learned from his keeper following
special treat of sugar or other favor
ed dainty.

elephant who is a valuable trick ami

The Pig Caught Cold.

The white pig changed his bed
last Saturday night and caught
an awful bad cold. The manager
of the Logan-Moore Lbr. Co. was
afraid the boys would think it
great fun to carry the Hog Joy
oiled pig to some back alley and
hide him on Hollowe 'en night, so
to make sure he would sleep well
last Saturday night. Mr~Pig was
given new quarters for the night
in the back of the lumber yard
and as the result of the sudden
change he caught very bad cold.
But he is getting along very well:
Mr.. Coberly gave him dose OF
Hog-Joy early Sunday morning,
and Monday morning he was Civ
en- a dose of Hog-Joy Grow Fast
and today he is able to be out in
the front of the yard eating and
sleeping and growing and making
the editor think he is going to
lose that smoke, for he sure looks
like he was going to weigh the
200 pounds in less than four
months.

Democratic rally here tonight, in
dorsed State Auditor Gordon s
action in using the auditors con-
tingent fund in attending a con-
vention of state auditors at Salt

ton any particular officer.

toned to deliver in defense OF
his administration to attack f. r.
Il. McJimsey of Springfield. who

Only Mollycoddles Will be Left
At End Of War-Dr. Jordan.

Saginaw, Mich, Oct. 29.-Dr.
David Starr Jordan, president OF
Leland Stanford university, adj
dressed the Michigan Teachers
association said:
"This war is an outgrowth OF a
struggle to retain privileges. The
kaiser is falsely blamed. His no.
bility heard the constantly IN
ereasing, murmur Of the awaiting
poorer classes and to divert their
minds forced the kaiser into a
corner. He was compelled to en-
ter the war.
"AIl belligerent nations faced
the proposition Of peace at any
price and it would have paid all
to choose peace. When the war
is over the nations will be de-
pIeted Of the flower Of their
manhood and will have an army
Of mollycoddIes and weaklings to
breed future generations.

that two men outside Of Walnut
township be selected and that
they select a third and the three
decide on the route. M. u. Brad
les of Hume and C. A. Chambers
of Butler were selected as two
members Of the committee and
they will select the third.
After the adjournment the
Butler contingent returned home
by the Marvel bridge route which
while somewhat longer, had been
worked until it was in first class
condition.
There is no doubt but that the
people of Walnut township are
thoroughly in earnest about good
roads and intend to have them
and to have them soon.
The ladies' are as enthusiastic
as the men and every one of them
are boosting for better roads.
The church where the meeting
was held was crowded to the
doors and every window held two
or three men, all anxious to hear
every word about good roads.
The following good roads slo-
gan was adopted: "Make the
roads so good we load the wagon
and not the team.

Another Shark story.

Passengers arriving at New York by
the transatlantic liners bring strange
stories, not all of which are based on
the war Some time ago shark was
swimming along in the wake of ship
catching all the refuse thrown over
board. One of the sailors, who had
well-founded antipathy for all sharks,
determined to try new method Of
soaring the shark away. With this
end in view he procured an alarm
clock, which he carefully wound and
set to go off in 20 minutes. Then the
sailor tied the clock to rope and
dropped it overheard. The shark In.
stantly swallowed 1t. When the alarm
went off he was truly scared. The
shark manifested this in various ways.
He first stood on his hind legs and
turned somersaults. The big fish final
ly took refuge in flight, meanwhile
flashing the water furiously with his
tail. The other day this same shark
was captured by the same ship When
the monster was drawn on deck by
the triumphant crew it was discovered
that he was the one who had swal.
lowed the clock. When he was cut
open the alarm went off again.

avs Of The Aneienta


The Oldest code of laws in the world
has lately been added to the Baby.
Ionic collection Of Yale university as
result of archaeological research. It
includes 287 sections of the laws of
Babylonia enacted during the reign
Of Hammurabi.
HammGrabi was a contemporary Of
Abraham, and reigned from the year
2285 to the year 2242 B. c., according
to well-authenticated records The
newly discovered laws are engraved
upon a block of diorite rock about
seven feet in length. Bible students
will be interested to know that this
old code contains many of the thoughts
Incorporated In the Mosaic law, as re-
vealed in the book of Exodus, espe-
cially in the twentieth and twenty first
chapters, although according to ar
theological proofs, it must have pre-
ceded Moses by more than two CEN
turtles.
A complete translation of this old
code is now being made, and will be
published under the auspices of the
Yale Alumni association.

canner and commIssariat,

The unique position of the United
States as regards foodstuffs has just
been emphasized at Gamers con-
vention in Chicago. Famine is inn
possible in this country, and more
than that, at no season of the year
are It's Inhabitants cut off from all
the good things nature provides for
mans sustenance. A wonderful range
Of climate makes 1t possible to have
the year around green vegetables and
fruits grown in the open, and at prices
in reach of the humblest pocketbook.
This is supplemented by the art Of
the Gamer, who successfully preserves
the summers surplus bounty against
the cold, gray days of winter and robs
that season of any terror it might ever
have held, SO far as food is concerned.
It is not alone famine that is avoid
ed, but certain diseases once preva-
lent, due to malnutrition incident to
a lack Of proper food, have vanished
from the United States. In this way
the processes of preserving foods have
also been useful in the matter of
preservation of health.

Where ArIstoorats Shine.


Your aristocrat is doubtless often q
very Objectionable person and In a
Democratic country like this we affect
to turn up our noses at him and regard
him as cumberer Of the earth. Yet
1t must be said for him that worthless
as he may be in peace, and contrary
as his claims Of superiority may be
to all proper principles Of natural
equality, he rarely, almost never, fails
to give good account Of himself when
his country needs him in q great crisis.
In the French revolution the old no
bility of France showed the world that
they knew how to die If they did not
know how to live. And the casualty
lists which are being published In
London now prove once more that
when 1t comes to courage and patriot
ism the 'aristocrat" is seldom found
In the rear. At the rate at which the
aristocrats are being killed at the
front In France and Belgium there will
be no lords and gentlemen left In

Accuracy In Bio guns.

As showing the excellent workman
ship which goes into the modern heavy
naval gun, 1t may be noted that all the
15-inch guns for the five British battle
ships of the Queen Elizabeth type
were ordered without any trial gun be-
ing made and tested. When the first
15-inch gun was tried out, the results
agreed exactly with the calculations Of
the designer. 1t is stated that 1t is the
best and most accurate gun OF all
ranges that has yet been built for the
British navy. The explosive charge of
