HAS DOG, TIED UP, RIGHT TO
BITE PEOPLE? is QUESTION

The question as to whether a dog
has the legal right to exercise its
biting capabilities when tied up in
its owners yard is another problem
with which the police have been con-
fronted The point was involved in
the complaint of Mrs. Rose Elem,
who complained to the police that
the dog of George Ivan, of 1856
Cleveland avenue, had bitten her in
the leg.
Investigation by Mounted Officer
Hartung showed that the woman had
been bitten while in Ivan's yard, that
the dog was tied up there by means
of a trolley system whereby it could
guard a grape arbor and she had
been bitten while in the yard. Ivan
declined to have the animal shot un-
less it was absolutely necessary, as it
was a good watch dog. hief of Po-
lice Burke ruled that Ivan could re-
fuse to permit the animal to be shot
and would be perfectly within his
rights.

clares she knew nothing Of events in
the life of her husband which have

has notified her husband that she has
decided to sue for a divorce.

lieves in his innocence, but that his

and would make impossible continuing
their relationship. She will seek di-
vorce on the ground of honsupport.
Her letter, sent TO the Camden Jail,
follows:
Olaf-I moved everything out OF the
house yesterday. I sent all your belong
ings to the courthouse, as I did not know
where else to send them. I hope you re-
ceived them all right.
This notoriety is dreadful When you
are released do not try TO hunt me up az
my whereabouts shall be unknown.
I have made up my mind, and this is
the last I cannot stand such disgrace
You have deceived me- so I could not live
with such a man with such record.
Hereafter you go your way and viii go

CARELESSNtSS IN FIXING
DRUGS IS TOO PREVALENT

Trenton, Sept. 20:-That careless
ness in the preparation of drugs or
mistakes in arithmetic in transposing
from the apothecary system of
weights to the metric system is rath-
er too prevalent among pharmacists
| is indicated by the results of analy-
ses recently made in the State De-
partment of Health Laboratory. Out
of $50 samples of spirits of pepper
mint analyzed, So or 47.2 per cent,
were found to be below standard.
This drug was selected for investi-
cation, first because it is a common
household remedy, and second be-
cause it is almost invariably pre-
pared by the druggist hirSself The
results of the investigation should,
therefore, indicate to some extent
the care used by pharmacists in pre-
pairing drugs of this character. 1t is
easy to obtain the materials which
enter into it's composition in a pure
state, and the drug is easily prepared
by ordinary care on the part of the
pharmacist.
