DOG HOTEL

If the dog is mans best friend, then
 like his master? Taking this view of tho
 question, Thomas Glisdale has started at
 $40 West Forty-second street, New
 York city, hotel exclusively for dogs.
 In fact, if the owner of a. 5000 dog want
 ed to stop for the night under the same
 roof with his pet, he could not do so--the
 beds are all too short. Besides the snoring
 there is something tremendous, as the
 different inmates are performing various stunts in their sleep; some are chasing burglars, others rabbits; some are dis
 cussing the license question in various cities others the muzzle proposition. At any rate, a human would have a hard time to get any slumber among that happy bunch.
 MT. Grisdale writes that the hotel meets a long felt want and is an institute es- pecially suited to New York city condi- tions, where valuable dogs in great num- bers are owned by residents. permanent and transient. and owners are oftimes
 compelled to contend with individuals and conditions not the most congenially dis
 posed toward the dog; consequently the
 owners are frequently put to great dis comfort and embarrassment on account of refusas by numerous hosteleries refusing
 the housing of dogs. Permanent residents find great relief in being able to find ! satisfactory accommodation for their pets at times when they feel disposed to take sojourn away from home for varied periods.
 Patrons find 1t very convenient to have | their specimens scientifically renovated and trimmed by skilled, humane attend
 ants. If a patient develops any sickness he is given the best of treatment and nursed back to health. As the dog ques- tion enlarges we may expect other cities to establish dog hotels. In fact, almost every large center has many bording places. where a dog can be kept for any length of time for about $S to $15 per
 month-not much to spend on one of your hest cor1uapiOuS

CANINE INSTITUTE

England has several canine nurses in stitutes where nurses are prepared to go out on cases where the treat
 ment of dogs and animals make it neces-
 sary or advisable to have some one skilled in the care and handling in case of disease or accident and he able to take hold of various cases after the veterinarian had prescribed, and see that both the proper care and treatment was given the pet In the war-stricken districts of Europe the dog is playing very important part in the finding of wounded soldiers, and are trained to go out, locate the wounded and then come back to headquarters and lead the rescuers to the victim of the battle So many of these noble animals have been wounded that hospitals have been opened on the field for treating them- Can anybody argue, in face of all the good deeds the noble animal is performs
 ing in all parts of the world today, that the dog is not mans best friend? Official reports from the different nations at war in Europe, when summed up as a total, present the amazing facts that these dogs have saved close to 5000 lives since the war started. The breed is similar to the Ger man Shepherd, now securing footing in this country. where they have been neg lected. They are used in the metropolitan centers and their suburbs by the police, and are trained so as to detect criminals and pull down culprits who are fleeing from the officer. In a latter article [ will illustrate this breed showing some of it's feats in trailing and capturing bur- glars while in the acr of stealing.

By JOHN c. MOSES

This weeks page on the dog contains mention of four of the most popular breeds of the canine family. The illus tration of Mrs. Anna R. Judd with her imported champion Maltese Terrier, Impy, shows clearly that the cold climate of Seattle harbors both good looking women and high-class dogs. The Dalmatian or Coach is a breed that is fast becoming companion to owners of stables. as it is a dog that loves the horse. The New foundland is a species that has not been pushed as it should, as it Is an animal that works for it's living" This noble dog has been known for its inclination to be busy at all times if not hauling fuel and fishnets on the coast it will busy itself in protecting the children about the home, and whenever child goes out for walk with it's Newfoundland buddy" that child never turns up missing. And many instances are on record where its charge has fallen into the water and the noble dog the next instant was bringing it out in safety with it's teeth firmly clasping the clothes of the child. In cold countries it is sent out to find lost travellers who have lost their way in snowstorms. The Pug, the aristocrat of the dog family, is noted for his dough nut tail, which lies on the back as neatly as a doughnut of the kind that mother used to make lies on a plate It is family dog. one that loves no mem Der of the household more than the bal ance. It is an exceedingly clean animal. and can hardly be Induced to step in the mud or water.
 In next Sundays page will be played up what is probably the most widely known and loved breeds in the dog world the bird dog. It will cover about a page. with three illustrations, one of John Proc tor the Pointer with four championships to his credit; another will be of a brace of Irish Setters, and the third repro duction of a southern-owned Lewellyn Setter. I will trace each of the three breeds from their earliest usefulness in the field, down to the present-day speed kings of the field trials, and they improve each year as the different crosses are made. The rivalry between Pointer and Setters breeders is keen, with the Pointer having a shade the best of 1t in this years events.

Studies For the Amateur

As the amateur is confronted with sick dog, and has only a technical book cover ing diseases of dogs to refer to for guid- ance, he is completely confused. It will relieve his mind somewhat to know that most of these diseases are of such rare occurrence that it will not be necessary to consider them, and further that all of the symptoms given in connection with certain diseases are seldom present in the patient.
 The amateur can form his own opinion by studying the case and the liability to certain diseases at certain ages or un- der certain conditions. and then look for symptoms to support his diagnosis.
 The fact that all puppies and most old dogs have worms should put the amateur on his guard and cause him to see that both young and old stock are wormed out at stated periods. Some of the symptoms that indicate worms are eating dirt and rubbish, foul breath, hot, dry nose some- times a hacking cough, appetite irreg- ular, coat rough, indigestion, cramps or colicky pains. frequent passage of urine, restless sleep, falling away in flesh, pale lips, watery eyes, vomiting passing of a bloody or mucous slime. Worms also cause diseases of the stomach poverty of the blood, irritation resembling ec- zema, rickets, and other minor troubles. When not removed from young puppies the growth is stunted and the chances on life are shortened.
 After worms the next disease to be looked for is distemper. This is a con- tasious disorder, and most dogs have 1t at some age, generally between months and a year. It generally appears as a common cold; the dog is dull and avoids light; loses it's appetite, sneezes and has a dry husky cough; watery eyes, a mucous discharge from the nose, fever follows and the teeth at times become coated The bowels are affected one way or the other-either constipated or loose. The stomach refuses to retain the food When the first signs appear, go and get some stondard remedy-don't wait until morn ing, do it now. Even If you are only sus- picious, the treatment will not hurt your dog and at the same time you are taking no chances.
 I mention these two enemies-worms and distemper-simply to warn against the most fatal ailments of the dog. In later chapters I will give full treatise on the dozen or more diseases affecting the dog in common, going into each in a thorough manner

Dog Barks

Who rejoices, always when Pm gay?
 Who grieves with me when I am sad? w no mourns that he behind must stay?
 Who truly loves me, good or bad?
 My dog.
 A dog will remember kick longer than most men will favor
 A good dog invariably regards it as a special duty of his to protect children. In stopping dog fight, large pailful or cold water thrown over the dogs heads will almost always prove effective.
 This We take from the "Hobo's Com panion": And when thou runnist afoul a authenticated yard, breeze thou on thy way"
 Do not feed dog anything any time, just any way; have regular feeding hours and feed him wholesome food. as YOU would any other animal
 Some folks get the idea that every dog that parks at them is a ferocious beast. ahey should remember the old saying, The bark is worse than the bite''
 It's mighty convenient to have a dos. to announce the arrival of company by barking; even though you be in a hack field you will know when anybody comes. It is not always wise to pat a strange dogs head. Better say: How are vol, friend?" and walk along about your busi- ness. Few of us are always in the mood to have our heads stroked by strangers.
 Beware of the man whose dog crawls unoer the barn when he sees him enter the gate.
 An honest man is one who owns I'D to the possession of female car when inc tax assessor comes around.

EVERYBODY TO HIS TASTE

Different tastes demand different breeds; one fancier will favor the pet, an- another the sporting strain. In selecting a. dog. the buyer should insist on one with a pedigree. This guarantees that his breeding has been right; that his an- cestors were bred right; that he has not been inbred, and that you have dog with good future. They may cost more, but you have a dog that you can place in competition at any authorized kennel show and help build up better dogs in your community.

 My dog lies by the open fire,
 He is a kindly soul: He never seems to worry none
 About who buys the coal. He runs around the fields all day, For he has great endurance; His mind is never tired out
 With taxes and insurance. And IS he wanders to and fro,
 Upon some pleasure bent, He never wonders, never thinks
 On who will pay the rent. He goes to sleep whene'er he wants And lies wheree he wills, And never scratches up a cent
 For meat or doctor bills And now and then he kills a skunk A mouse or else a rat. Nor wonders where the money is
 To buy his wife hat. When to the future land I go

AS TO KEEPING A CAR

The New York World contemplates
with concern the figures that show
that last year almost two and half
million of motor vehicles were reg
istered in this country. It wonders
how much they cost; what proportion
Of the cost is for pleasure, and what
for productive use; how much, in
short, of extravaganza and folly Is
represented in the total bill.
The World lives in a town that
ought to answer, in q general way,
some Of these questions. It could
tell the World that a great many
people now live in the suburbs in
stead of Manhattan, because, living
in the suburbs, they can get more
real joy out of living, without cost
ing anything extra: the motor car
makes that possible. 1t gives better
health, nerves, satisfaction. 1t makes
better babies possible.
The World worries about tho fact
that Iowa has a car for every six
teen inhabitants-the most that any
community Of its size In the world
possesses. Well, the World should
know, also, that the disposition of
Iowa to grow backward has been
checked since the motor car made
It possible for farmers to get some
fun out of living. They actually are
getting acquainted with their neigh
bors. They have their town friends
coming out to the country of even
ings; they 20 a few miles to dance
or picnic or see the movies; they dis
cover that the country, plus the
motor car, Is more livable than the
town; and so they are actually pre-
ferring-and this for the first time
since modern city existence was de-
vised-to live in country rather than
town.
The motor car has made the town
people like the country; made them
willing to help pay for country
roads. 1t has made the country
folks realize what a good thing they
really have.
Tho motor car Is worth moro than
1t costs. Don't worry.
