Dogs Head on VOLTS
Body Puzzles Hunters

When is a wolf? This question is
puzzling county officials, of Sault
Ste. Marie, Mich, who are hoping
that a new Solomon will come for
ward with the correct solution.
C. NJ. Spurbeck recently came
across a pack of red wolves. A huge
animal in the middle of the pack
attracted his attention and he killed
it. The beast was a freak. 1t had a
dogs head but the body of wolf.
Spurbeck brought the carcass to
the county clerks office. There is a
bouty of $35 for wolves in this coun-
ty, but the bounty on dogs is moth
ing. The law does not definitely au-
thorize a county official to pay boun-
ties on half-wolves.
It is believed that a collie dog was
one of the parents of the animal
which Spurbecll shot but that has
nothing to do with the bounty prob
lem.
AS the type of animal necessary
for the production of large yields of
milk is entirely different from that of
the baef animals, it has j ben impos-
sible to produce breed JAlich would
combine these functions and be of su-
perior merit for both purposes.

The proposal of the State. Board

Wisconsin Medical Journal which
points out that half of the feeble
minded population is at large, and
that a great proportion of these are
actively dangerous from a social evil
standpoint.
The Medical Journal says:
cat least So per cent Of feeble

THOUSANDS of men and women are I'm
pairing their constitutions, laying them
selves open to illness and literally losing
their grip on health, simply because their
blood is thinning out and possibly starving
through lack of iron. Lack of iron in the
blood not only makes a man a physical and
mental weakling, nervous irritable, easily
fatigued, but it utterly robs him of the
virile force that stamina and strength of
will which are sc necessary to success and
power in every walk of life. 1t may also
transform a beautiful. sweet-tempered wom
an into one who is cross, nervous and irri-
table.
Iron is absolutely essential to enable your
blood to transform the food you eat into
muscular tissue and brain. 1t is through
iron in the red coloring matter of the blood,
that DEMONSTRATING oxygen enters the body.
Without iron there is no strength, vitality
and endurance to combat obstacles or with
stand severe strains Contrary to general
opinion lack of iron in the bloor does not
necessarily mean you do not have enough
blood, but it means your blood is not of the
right kind. To help make strong, keen,
red blooded people there is nothing better
than organic iron-Nuxated Iron Unlike the

Did We Buy the Philippines?

There is a general impression in this coun-
try that the United States paid Spain 100000
900 for the Philippine islands and thereby ac-
auired title to them. Some even argue that
it would not be fair to give them their indie
pe1dence unless they agree to reimburse this
country for its investment
1t is true of course that the United States
paid Spain $50 900 000 but not to secure title,
as Jose P. Melencio, writing for the Philippine
press bureau. points out. Early in 1898, he
SAYS the strain on SPANS finances became so
severe that bonds were issued to the amount
of 100000 Philippine pesos $3.50 900 ,0O0), at
6 per cent interest, payable in 40 years, with
The special guarantee of the Philippine customs
and the general guarantee of the nation" This
was the first Philippine public debt. 1t was
outstanding during the negotiation at Paris,
and the prospects for a treaty were for time
dimmed mainly because OF it. concession
became necessary in order to get treaty. Ac-
cordingly, the American commissioners resoly-
ed, as the more expedient course, to fix an
amount at least equal to the face value of the
debt, to be given to Spain primarily as an
acknowledgement for any improvements she
might have undertaken in the Philippines no.
paid for by the revenues OF the islands them.
selves-she could use it to pay the Philippine
bonds if she so desired.
But there were underlying motives for the
payment. They were these: % a 'salve
to SPANS feelings; and ca "as means, if
such were felt necessary, of averting the re-
newal OF war" In a confidential message to
the president, Mr.. Frye, one of the commits
sioners. wrote: Would not our people prefer
to pay Spain one-half OF war expenditures Gf
war resumed) rather than indulge in its costly
luxury? Europe sympatllizes with Spain Elm
this regard exactly
The reply was that the president desired
the commissioners to be generous in all mat
tiers which did not require a disregard of prin-
ciple or duty. The money payments,
If any is determined upon. should rest solely
upon the considerations suggested in your
message"
Wherefore. the mysterious twenty millions
were paid for reasons other than as purchase

The Exodus" to Canada.

The old scare that the cheap lands of Can
ada are draining the United States of its farm
population has been revived recently. The
statement gets printed at one place or another
now and then. that at least a million of Amer
ica's best farmers have left the United States
for Canada during the past 10 years and a
group of alaFmists raise the cry, that some
thing be done TO stop it.
The United States department of agriculture
finds nothing alarming in the situation. Il
does not give credence TO the statement that
the United States has lost a million farmers.
or anything like it, to Canada in 10 years or
AT all On the other hand, it believes that
at least as many farmers have come from Can
ada TO the United States as have gone from
the United States 10 Canada. 1t looks for the
cross movement between the two countries 10
continue. just as a very marked movement
among the states themselves is always to be
noticed.
Comparable figures as to the number o.
United States farmers who have gone to Can
ada and OF Canadian farmers who have come
to the United States are hard to obtain. but
such figures as are available seem to show a
fairly even movement back and forth.

Sewers of the Flu.

In the early stage of the flu cpl
demic last winter one big employer
OF skilled labor exerted all his IN
f1uence, which was considerable. to
prevent or delay the PRONUNCIATION
of health department regulations
for the control OF the epidemic. A
scare" would hurt business in the
town, he argued. His argument
proved effective. Action was post
poned. The dollar is the first con-
sideration, business the important
question, health a minor matte.
and as rule the health depart
ment is politically responsible 20
business interests.
But as the disease spread an
alarming number Of the employees
in that shop were disabled. and
presently the influential employer
was openly demanding vigorous.
even drastic action by the health
department TO stop the spread of
the devastating disease. You see,
he had been dealt a hard blow in
that sensitive or vital sport. thu
pocketbook. That made a differ
ence
But. alas. the health depart
ment's belated activity failed IN
! limit the spread of the infection. Il
Mailed for a reason which is OBJ
vious to any doctor not obsessed
by archaic superstitions as to the
cause Of respiratory infections:
Not all acute respiratory infections
were brought under the ban: il was
left to the judgment of the atten l.
Ing physician i'll each instance TO
decide whether the Illness should
be dubbed influenza and reported
to the health department or
grippe" or Just a heavy cold"
and not reported or isolated. And
judgment is not only difficult as nv
friend Hippokrates used to say. but
frequently in these DAYS biased by
various eXtraneous considerations.
Hence many daE~grOus sewers OF
the flu were allowed TO go about
unrestrained, simply because they
happened 10 feel able to be about.
1t must be remembered that as
yet we have no positive method Of
determining whether an acute re-
spiratory infection is or is not in
fuenza, no laboratory or other test
which will settle the question I'M
equiyocally. And so we must
either equivoCate or else isolate.
II we isolate every case of acute
respiratory infection in time of epi-
demic we undoubtedly cause much
inconvenience and annoyance to
