 The Hellenic touched at the is land On the voyage back to Seattle. Members of the vessels crew say that the Germans had barely enough four to last three days. The fisher men were appalled, by the plight of the Germans. For each German. the vessel left two pounds of but ter, two cans of condensed milk and other provisions. The crew also donated 3 small sack of potatoes. They gave the Germans all the food they could spare from the ship.

him. He will never go in another show"
Neft wagged his tail in appreciation of
this tribute
In spite Of his age. It would be difficult
to find n more beautiful animal in toy
poodledom than this dainty creature. He
carries the air of the ring with him he
walks with a high-stepping motion and
poises his head with a gesture that proves
that he knows he has championship to
live up to. Bred from Neff Senior of a
line of Kentucky winners, he is the aristo-
crat of doRdom, the Beau Brummel of his

"one more word about dogs" Mrs Sink
ler said, 'and that is most important.
Never be cruel to them. Pedigreed, inbred
dogs are extremely sensitive" declared their
mistress as she coddled n dimInutive
fluffy puppy which reposed with half closed
eyes on her capacious lap They should
be treated just like babies They are very
affectionate-commend me to poodles for
real love, they are much more devoted
than bulldogs. I have never sold a puppy
from my kennels to person that would
be cruel to it, nor to a home where there
are children If 1 know it. nor did 1 ever
send one out of the city. 1t wouldn't be
worth hundred dollars to me to see one
of these dogs abused. Money doesn't mean
that much" she declared emphatically
And one look at the drowsy, contented
puppy on her lap convinced the hearer
that Bertha Sinkler, fancier, told the truth.

Why, II means to see.' Now. I say, per-

''It means you don't know what you are
talking about, for there is no spech on the

looked straight at Jimmy with his beady
eyes.
How do you know there is no speck on
your tail?" asked Jimmy.
Because 1t is my tail.", replied the big
fellow. ''I know all there is to know about
my tail and 1 tell you that speck

What's that got to do with. it?" asked
Jimmy, filled with curiosity.

'I told you-y-o-u-YOU-that YOU are

Jimmy of the big fellow,

starving to death twice. bullock at you!

DOGS, TO WIN PRIZES,
MUST KEEP in TRAINING
Mrs. Bertha Sinkler, Owner of
Many Champions, Gives Treat
ment Formula

The physical training of a Jess Willard
| has nothing on the care of a championship
dog Exercise diet and sleep are Just as
important for His Dogship as 1t is for the
hghter-and the proper restriction of each
OF these is looked after with n fidelity and
fxity of purpose that would do justice to
Monaghan himself Any one who thinks
that raising champion dogs Is an easy task
should read some of the hints as to their
care given by Mrs. Bertha SinlSler. She is
the woman who for the last fifteen years
has probably supplied more fancy toy poo
dles-first winners and champions for Phil
adelpha big shows-than any other
breeder.
1.-THE first thing dog needs in the morn
ing is exercise" says Mrs Sinker. This
may be taken indoors IL the weather is bad
but really should be n brisk walk on
leash. And let me tell dog owners now
that the dog that runs without leash, no
matter how docile he seems, is going to run
once too often some day. have exercised
hundreds of dogs, but never, absolutely
never, without a leash.
after the daily walk comes breakfast
This should be bit of boiled rice, milk
toast, or dog biscuit. If they like 1t. After
breakfast they should lie down for couple
Of hours.
'They will be perfectly willing to do this.
When they get restless they should be
allowed to run in the yard. Don't give them

supper at night is enough for them. An
overfed dog is a sick dog"
OF course, it isn't every one who knows
a champion. but there are unmistakable
points about toy poodle, for instance, that
determine it's pedigree on sight. A stocky
figure, short legs, long ears, silky coat
and black or liver" nose mark the we'll
bred toy poodle, These are the points that
make for winners in any show. To get
them, according TO Mrs. Sinlcler, it is best to
breed from pedgreed stock
ANY one can raise pedigreed dogs-if he
is willing to take scrupulous care of their
bodies, teeth, ears. coats and diet But
this means work. The ears have to be
washed out with boracic acid and the teeth
rubbed or with soft cloth. And those
who wish to be dog fanciers should buy
their breeders from good stock, for blood
will tell just surely in dogdom as I'm
other ways. Seventy-five up to 5000 is the
price for a good dog. but puppiIes sell from
$26 to $50 apiece. 80 the original investment
is quickly repaid.

too well to show them when they are not
In condition. Champion Neff has carried
his championship under many judges and
in hundreds of shows. He has been the
sire of champions and has earned a fortune
in his day. This is Just to illustrate what
