DOG DAYS HERE
LOOK OUT KIDS

Dog days, the bane of boyhood Joys,
are here, according to vellum-b bound
volumes of ancient lore, and ACCORDING
to the rural citizen who watches the
annual appearance of the "dog STAR
and listens to the shrill whistle of the
first crop of katydids.
Just when dog days begin each year
is moot question. Some contend that
their influence is felt as early as July
%, while others believe they really
begin on July 30. No matter when they
begin, dog days are unwelcome.
Have you ever lived on the farm and
experienced the life of the barefoot
hoy in the fields? If you have ever
banged your toe against hidden stone
or scratched your hand in an effort to
get the choicest peaches off the tree,
or have been deprived of the infinite
pleasure of plunging into the old
swimming hole during the month Of
August, you know the terrors and in
conveniences of dog days.
1t is well known to the country boy
in Georgia that if he goes barefoot
and stubs his toe during dog days a
sore will develop that will be well
nigh incnrable dog days are over.
If he cuts his hand, scratches his leg
ON brier Or sustains any other slight
injury and then goes in swimming, his
life for an entire month is one of ex-
pected misery whether he really does
suffer or not
In other words, dog days consist of
a period from four to six weeks in
duration, during which a youngster
has to be mighty careful what he does.
And be sure to beware or dogs during
the cursed period. Furthermore. don't
let snake bite you, for this is sup
posedly the time when their venom is
most deadly.
The conjunction of the rising of the
dog star with the rising of the sun
was regarded by the ancients as one
of the causes of the sultry heat of
August, and of the maladies which pre-
vail at this time. Hence the name.
dog days.

EvAP0RATE FRUIT
/. RESPONSIBLE FOR
VIOLENT SICKNESS
(By Associated Press.)

KINGSTON, jamaica August B.
An obscure disease termed Vomiting
Sickness" and Cerebral Meningitis
of which sporadic outbreaks OF more
or less intensity have occupied the
attention of the medical authorities for
years, has at length been traced to
its origin. The investigator, DR.. H. H.
Scott, government barteriologist, pub
fishes report in which the edible
fruit of the akee tree. eaten under Ger
tain unfavorable conditions, is declar-
ed to be the source of disease.
1t has long been known, locally, that
the akee is highly dangerous to AMI
NAL life when eaten in an unopened or
unripe condition, but hitherto it has
never been suspected as the cause OF
the Vomiting Sickness"
One point which struck DR.. Scott
however, was the peculiar seasonal
prevalence of the Vomiting Sickness
the disease correspondingly exactly
with the main akee season when other
fruits and natural foods are relatively
scarce. This year the akee season"
says Dr. Scott, has continued longer
than in previous years, and Vomiting
Sickness cases have been reported in
greater numbers than last year, and
over more prolonged period"
After years of personal investiga-
ton during which he compiled data in
800 cases, DR.. Scott arrived at the
conclusion that Vomiting Sickness" is
an acute intoxication by hot aqueous
extract of the unopened or unwhole-
some akeeS. The akee is used eXtenS-
lively in Jamaica and in the season is
an almost invariable accompaniment
of salt fish, in fact it is the most de-
lectable part of the Jamaica breakfast,
and is highly appreciated by the Euro
npan or tho Aporinop visitor no - 80
by the native Jamaican, and careful
selected and cooked is a wholesome
and appetizing food. On the other
hand the unripe fruit is dangerous in
the extreme and cases are cited where
death resulted in few hours after
the akee had ben eaten.

JOHN BULL

j. 6. MAIL
LETTERS FROM UNITED STATES
TO GERMANY AND BELGIUM CAN
NOT PASS THE ENGLISH CENSOR
WEDDING INVITATIONS USED
TO FORWARD SECRETS TO THE
ENEMY

LONDON, Aug. thousands of
letters from all parts Of the United
and Belgium are dealt with by the
British censors department weekly aid
not one of them reaches it's destination
Those which contain the address of
the sender are returned but the great
majority containing no such address
are sent to the dead letter Office to be
finally condemned to the postoffice
furnace.
These letters come chiefly from the
steamers that are taken to Kirkwall
for examination but for some reason
mail from the United States for Ger
many is often placed aboard steamers
coming direct to England and as there
is no communication between England
and Germany there is no way of for
warding it, even should the British
government be so inclined. Many of
these letters contain American bank
notes, being sent by Americans to
friends in Germany who they doubt
less believe to be in financial straits.
In these cases the sender invariably
sends his address so that the money
can be returned but even if there is no
address every effort is made to find
the sender. Nothing however, goes on
to Germany or Belgium.
Thousands of notices of marriages,
invitations and other social commune
cations are received but as there is no
telling whether they may not contain
information that is of use to Eng
lands enemies they are sent back by
the next outgoing steamer. Appar-
emily the only way of getting letters
from America to Germany is to send
them under cover to some friends in a
neutral country with a request to for
ward them.
For Belgium the matter is further
complicated by the refusal of the Ger
man authorities to allow any letters to
be received in or leave the country.
Only postcards can reach there and
the only way of making sure that they
go is to address them under cover to
the Belgian consul in Holland, enclos-
ing an international stamp and asking
that they be forwarded.

INVENTOR DEWsES
KISS DETECTOR
JOSHUA FINDS OUT WHAT'S GO.
ING ON, BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW
HOW TO STOP 1T.

STOYESTOWN, Pa, August "a
really inventor is Joshua Conkling
Reeves, who lives in Shade Township.
He has three pretty daughters, the
bellies of the neighborhood. Joshuas
latest "contraption," as he calls it, has
had marvellous success and, according
to Joshua, in the future years his in
vention no doubt will find a perman-
ent place in the detective bureaus of
the country. Let Joshua tell the story;
"This," said he I'M demonstrating the
invention, sis my latest contraption.
For long time 1 have known that
there was too much kissin' goin on
when them girls of mine had their fell
lows here Sunday nights. But I could
not ketch them at is, so jist rugged up
| this little machine, and now | know a
thing Or two"
So saying, Joshua pulled from the
board partitions between The parlor
and the dining room of his home "a
contraption' that looked like a pine
knot. 1t was a network of wires and
there was a little drumlike contrap-
ton.
Il call this resonator," said Joshua
st ketches and increases sound When
there is any kissin' goin' on in the par
lor the sound floates through this
machine and l hear it all. 1t goes
much louder over here Jist common
kissin' goin' on the cheek or neck
sounds like train going over Turkey
Foot Crossin', and long, hugging kisses
are like the winds BLOWN in Novem-
Der. Lip smacking and goodnight
kissin' sounds like cannon shot.
Eyes, I've got the machine that tells
me what is goin' on, but what l need
now is machine that will tell me how
to stop it."
