DISCOVERING THAT HE WAS AN
ARISTOCRAT

In the November AMERICAN MAeA-
ZINE Don Marquis writes an exceed
ingly interesting dog story entitled
Blood Will Tell" Following is an eX-
tract:
81 am a middle-sized dog, with spots
on me here and there, and several diff
ferent colors of hair mixed in even
where there aren't any spots, and my
ears are frazzled a little on the ends
where they have been chewed in fights.
AT first glance you might not pick
ME for an aristocrat. But / am one.

discovered it, as nothing in my inmost
feelings up to that time, nor in the
treatment which l had received from
dogs, humans or boys, had led me to
suspect it.
81 can we'll remember the afternoon
on which the discovery was made. A
lot of us dogs were lying in the grass,
up by the swimming hole, just Laying
around, and the boys were doing the
same.
"Us dogs was listening to the boys
talk.
"a Stray Boy, by which I mean one
not claimed or looked out for or owned

who is my boy:
"'What breed would you call that
dog of yours, Freck?'
| II pricked up my ears at that. I
cannot say that had ever set great
store by breeds up 10 the time that I
found out l was an aristocrat myself,
believing, as Bill Patterson, human
and the town drunkard, used to say
when intoxicated, that often an honest
heart beats beneath the outcast's
ragged coat.

Freckles, sticking up for me. He can

of his weight
He's got some spaniel in him. says
the Stray Boy.

THAT proves he is an aristocratic

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incombus-
tible material in the form of ashes. so
the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the ailmentary canal a
certain amount OF indigestible mate
rial. which if not completely elimi-
mated each day, becomes food for the
millions of bacteria which infest the
bowels. From this mass of leftover
waste material, toxins and ptomaine-
like poisons, called uric acid, is
formed and then sucked into the
blood where it continues to circulate,
collecting grain by grain in the joints
of the body much like rust collects on
the hinge as shown above.
Men and women who suffer from
lumbago. rheumatism or sore, stiff,
aching joints should begin drinking
phosphated hot water, not as a
means to magic relief from pain, but
TO prevent more uric acid forming in
the system. Before eating breakfast
each morning, drink n glass of real
hot water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This will first
neutralize and then wash out of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels

PARIS SAVES BY LONGER DAY.
Economy Of 6 Per Cent In Gas and IS
Per Cent In Electricity.

Paris.-Now that the summer time
is over and the hour that clocks were
turned back early In summer had to be
put back by Sept. 30 attempts are be
ing made to estimate the money saved
by the adoption of the daylight saving
scheme.
As regards Paris, the saving In public
lighting has not been great. Street
lamps are lit when the darkness makes
1t necessary and turned off when it is
light enough. Many street lights are
turned off or lowered at 10 p. m, so
that some advantage has been gained,
but not a great deal.
AS regards private lighting, the high
price Of coal has made the use of gas
for cooking much more general; hence
II is difficult to know what economy In
lighting has been made. From stats
tics issued by the prefecture of police,
however, 1t appears that the advance
of an hour for the summer months has
saved Paris 9 per cent OF Its gas bills
and 10 per cent Of its electricity.
