DISEASES CARRIED BY DOGS
Animal Should Be Handled in Such
Way as Best to Further Welfare
of the Community.

Many diseases of man and domestic
animals are carried by dogs. Every
body, of course, knows that the dog
is responsible for rabies, but 1t is
not so generally known that the dog
is equally responsible for other fatal
diseases. Among them may be men
toned hydatid and gid in man and
stock, tapewormsin man and especial
ly in children, ftngue worm in man
and stock, measles" in sheep, cysti-
cercosis Of the liver in stock. Some
of these parasites depend so absolute
ly on dogs as carriers that they would
become extinct if dogs were not avail
able as hosts. Dogs probably play a
part, also, in the spread Of diseases
due to fungi, such as ringworm and
favus, and they certainly play part
in the spread of diseases that may be
carried by fleas and ticks.

agriculture, while recognizing the dog
as a useful domestic animal. insists

NEW ROUTES OF NEAR EAST
Railroad Lines Will Be Materially Ex-

The military operations Of the war
gave material boost to railroad de-

British extended their track line from
Egypt to Palestine, connecting at
Ramieh near Jerusalem. The line then
went on to Haifa, which the British
are planning to make their great'por

on the Mediterranean for new short

through the Taurus mountains were
completed. Trains now run from Con-
stantinople through Aleppo to Nisbin.
At the eastern terminus of the line
Bagdad-trains run northward as far
as Tekrit. Between Nisbin and Tekrit
is an unfinished section of few hum
dred miles. Before the war, trains
did not run at night on this line, but
this was changed by stern necessity.
When normal traffic conditions are re-
established, the journey from Constan-

sian Gulf can be made in few days.

CATTLE SHRINK IN TRANSIT
owner Loses Considerable by Not
Taking Proper Precautions In
Shipping Live Stock.

Investigations by the Colorado agri-
cultural college are beginning to show
that shrinkage of live stock when
shipped to market can be greatly re-
duced. The most important thing is
a comfortable car and not much crowd
ing. The next thing is to have the
animals well fed and contented when
they are loaded and until they are
sold at the terminal market. In other
words, plenty Of feed and water and
comfortable quarters are most inpor-
tant.
"some farmers" says R. w. Clark,
live stock specialist for that institu-
ton, "csip regularly with little or no
shrinkage, while others at all times
have enormous shrinkage."

that care must be taken to minimize
the danger Of diseases spread by them.
In a general way, say the specialists
of the department, there are three
kinds of dogs-the ownerless dog, the
other persons dog, and your own dog.
The stray dog which recognizes no
owner, they say, does not fit into the
modern scheme of civilization and
must be eliminated. A dog that is
allowed by the owner to wander at
large will have substantially the same
habits of life, the same sort of food,
and be practically as dangerous as the
ownerless dog. You have the right
to insist, they point out, that such
dogs keep off your premises.
Your own dog should be handled
in such a way as best to further the
welfare of the dog and the community.
He should be kept in restraint and
not allowed the full freedom Of the
house or even of the outside premises.
He should not be allowed to be fami-
liar with people, and especially with
children. The dog should be kept
free from external parasites by fire.
quent baths and, if necessary, other
appropriate measures, and should be
freed from internal parasites by suit
able measures and kept free by ade-
quate attention to his food. He should
only be allowed to leave the yard or
the kernels in company with some
person, and wherever conditions call
for it should be kept in leash. When
away from home the dog should be
muzzled with reliable metal muzzle,
not with a strap muzzle that would
be cruel to the dog If tight enough
to be effective and which is usually
so loose as merely to give false
sense of security, since it permits
the dog to bite.

SEES GOOD IN THE TEA cuF
Doctor Eliot, Aged Educator, Goes on
Record as Having Faith In That
I Moderate StimuIant

DIR. Charles w. Eliot, now In his
eighty-sixth year, confesses to devi-
alton from the strict rule Of abstemi-
BUSINESS which cannot but cause con-
Germ in the inner circles of moral re
form, says the New York World.
Though he has always INDUCED IN
.stimulants like tea, coffee and al
cohol," and in tobacco not at all for
more than half a century, he yet finds
a certain virtue in tea drinking. Il
have used tea most" he says, because
it seems to me to facilitate the men
tai effort of writing and speaking"
If the venerable ex-president OF
Harvard university had merely said
that he derived some dietic benefit
from tea, no exception would be taken
to the statement. 1t is his frank ad-
mission that he uses tea as a stimu-
liant and finds that it helps his mental
processes which will be challenged.
Can there be good in any stimulant?
Can the willful excitation Of the mind
by any kind Of brew be other than
immoral in it's essential nature? All
simon-pure reformers Of the drink evil
will feel sure that the use of tea has
drugged Doctor Eliot's intellect and
robbed it of its highest productivity.
But what the world has lost in that
particular will count as nothing to
the self-revelation that this distin-
guished champion of temperance Is
not 100 per cent perfect in his pro-
hibition views.

Volstead, the only Republican representative defeated in the recent Minnesota primary election, has been successful in his efforts to disqualify his successful rival, o. J. Kvale, local preacher, who received the endorsement of the Non-Partisan league. The deci- sion disqualifying Kvale was rem dered today by District Judge AL bert Johnson, who heard the contest suit and declared Volstead duly nom- mated.
 Kvale was generally regarded dur ing the campaign as a prohibition ist, but nevertheless received the support of the wet element of the Seventh district in consequence of the general disapproval of the one half of one percent alcoholic con- tent definition of intoxicating liquor in the Volstead act.

RETAILERS FORCE !. PRICES 10 CLIMB

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 21.- Responsibility for the continued rise in food prices is laid at the door of the retailers of the country, in a report just issued by the department of labor. There has been a slight lowering of wholesale prices thru out the States since the first of the year, but the cost of food to the consumer has continued to climb, notwithstanding.
 The report, which was compiled by the bureau of statistics of the department of labor, says that a survey of 37 states shows that the retail price of foodstuffs has ad- vanced nine percent since the first of the year, and two percent since the first of June. Wholesale prices, on the other hand, have dropped two and three-quarters percent dur ing the same period.
