DOES A DOG REAsoN2

Who can say whether or not
dog thinks? Cold scientists may
say that a dogs thinking proc
esses are merely the operation Of
instinct. Those of US who have
now or have had in youth one
or more dogs in the close circle
of our friendship will be apt to
say that an intelligent dog car
be considered really intellectual
that he reasons things out for
himself and quite as often fol-
lows the course of reason as the
average fool man or woman!
But what we started out to say
was this: That "kazan" is one
of the best animal stories that
has been written in many years;
ranking with "Rab and His
Friends" by DR.. John Watson,
and old, old "BIack Beauty" 1t
has no element of obvious hu-
NOR, but devotion, courage, sac
rifice, resignation, love and pa
thos are woven into the tale
with utmost skill: James Oil
yer curwood is to be congratu-
lated for his authorship of this
story, and we feel that we can
congratulate ourselves in the
possession of it for serial use.

WOMAN IN HIGH FEDERAL POSITION

Mrs. Frances C. Axten was on
January 1 appointed by the president
to serve upon an executive commission
the first woman to be chosen for
such post.
Mrs. Axtell is q Western woman,
coming from Washington, which gives
women the privilege of equal rights
with men, and she has served her state
in many public capacities. For her,
therefore, it was no new thing to be
called upon to take an important po-
sition upon a national board.
The position which Mrs. AxtelF
was called to fill is that of United
States employees compensation COM
missioner and the commission, which
has its headquarters in Washington,
began active work this year. The
United States employees compensa-
ton commission is a new division of
the federal service. 1t is composed
of three commissioners, appointed by
the president. These commissioners

BOER SOLDIER AND STATESMAN

Gen. Jan Christian SHUTS, the min
lister of finance and defense of the
South African Union government, who
is now in England and aroused great
enthusiasm there By a recent speech
in support of the empire, has achieved
reputation along many different lines
of expression and activity. In the first
place, he made name for himself as
a soldier in the Boer war, where he
took up arms under his friend Cen
eral Botha and became known as one
of the most capable and dashing cav
airy leaders in that wonderfully re-
sourceful army that held the British
squares so long at bay, fighting them
after the American fashion in the days
of Concord and Lexington.
Then, after the war was over, he
was the one man who dared to stand
up before his fellow countrymen and
speak in praise of Cecil Rhodes, the
empire builder, who was the worst ex-
ecrated man in Boer land, and to place

PROMINENT IN Y. M. C. A. WORK

Credit for the successful $1,000
600 war fund campaign recently made
is given to John r. Mott, general sec
rotary of the international committee
of the Y. n. c. A. Just before he was
appointed with Elihu Root on the
American mission to Russia, Mr. Mott
had mapped out the general scheme
and was preparing to put all of his
energy into the work. President VIII.
son, by seIective draft, placed a heavy
strain on the association by taking
him on the Russian commission. Mr.
Mott was so thoroughly acquainted
with Russian conditions. as a result of
his student talks and other associations
activities there in the last IS years.,
that it was believed he could represent
the United States in the present crisis,
better even by going to Russia than
by working here.
Mr.. Mott has given practically his

Carbondale did not prove great

Paying Doctor to Keep One
Well Not a Fantastic Idea

We haven't yet learned to take ad-
vantage of the resources of civiliza-
ton in anything like the extent we
might. For instance, we wait until
we get sick and then we pay the doc
tor to help US get well. It would be
much more sensible to pay him to help
us keep from getting sick.
Fantastic idea, you say. Not at all.
1t already Is working in a large num-
Der Of college communities. Right here
at home, In the state universities of
Missouri and Kansas, for instance,
says the Kansas City Star. In both
institutions the pupil Is charged a fee
which is applied to safeguarding his
health. In the University of Missouri
the plan Is still further developed so
that the fee covers medical and sur
2ical attendance.
The important point is that these
universities and other schools are
proving that health can be made much
more of community matter than had
been SUPPOSED and that the wise thing
to do is for groups to pay medical men
to keep them we'll.

Common Sense Exercises.

Do simple setting up exercises, es-
pecially rotary abdominal exercises
for five or ten minutes every morning,
advises Cleveland Moffet in McClure's
Magazine. Form the habit of doing
abdominal, exercises or muscles tens
ing and flexing exercises at odd times
through the day. You can do these
anywhere without attracting atten-
ton.
Walk three or four miles a day and
form the habit of breathing deeply
and rhythmically through the nose as
you walk-so many strides CASUALLY
five or six) to the outgoing breath,
then the same number of strides to
the incoming breath. Do this rhyth-
mical breathing occasionally as you
feel like 1t, and avoid making this or
any other part of your plan irksome
or mOnotonous. Do these things be-
cause you wish to do them. Do not
force yourself to do them against
your will. Train your will to be a
consenting, an approving, controll-
ing power behind your actions.
