THIS IS THE TIME WHEN

You should pay more attention to the dog
To your dog
To any dog you meet!
Best plan is to keep your dog muzzled.
All dogs permitted to at large should be
muzzled.
And don't let little children play with stray pups
that happen to come into the yard.
1t is good idea to give the dog plenty of cool
water hot days. Have water within easy reach of
him all day long. Reduce the dogs meat ration.

Hydrophoba is germ disease that dog gets
from another's bite and in other way-never from

But remember, dogs need LOTS OF WATER in
hot weather. They must have it. Dogs hunting for wa

THERE is man who knows me as am,
Who knows the soundness of and the sham,
Who knows gowned and crowned ard seeming fair,
Who knows me shudderng stript and bare,
Who knows how often ntone my crep4s
To drown the voices of my usts and greeds.
There is a who knows all unreal
That l have failed to rally my ideal,
And have let petty parasite
OF envy gnaw my heart out, night by night,
Or have let remain my foe
For small pride would not quite forego.
There is a who knows all in all
How far my visions rse how short fall,
Not that l fear the lions in the way,
But that l love my homemade curds and whey,
My slippers and my hearth-fire, red and warm,
Blushing because shun the outer storm.
There is a who knows how hard strive
To hold my heart awake my soul alive,
To stand for truth, though all the world assail,
To fall, mayhap, but cry 81 fai!'
Till white light of me shine through the sham,
Even though all men shall know me as l am.

= Painting Influenced

Standardization has been attracted
by picture Of the head Of Christ which
is being exhibited at the Walker Cal
lery, New Bond-street, W, owing to
the fact that the painter, Mrs. Spencer.
daushter-in-law Of Viseountess Church
ill, executed the work within q few
hours. although she has received no ar.
tistic training whatever.
The theory has been put forward that
the painting was done under spiritualis-
tic influence, but the Daily Chronicle
understands that no claim to this ef-
feet Is put forward by Mrs. Spencer,
and that she was in a perfectly normal
state when working on the portrait.
Mrs. Spencer always had a great de-
sire to paint something beautiful, and
an ATTEMPT to do so resulted in the pic.
ture Of Christ. All her friends said It
was very beautiful indeed, and 50. desir-
Ing that other people should have the
benefit Of seeing the picture, she ar
ranted that it should De exhibited,
1t is understood that AIRS. Spencer
family believe. that the production Of the
picture under such unusual circum-
stances must be attributed to some sa.
cred inspiration. but they do not en-.
terrain the idea that she was under
any spirit influence.
