THESE BE DOG DAYS.

We are now in the midst OF Dog
Days" Everybody is familiar with
Dog Days." but few know by 1T IS
so called. : The period includes the
time from July 3 to August IL, or
twenty days before and twenty days
after the rising of the dog star,
Sirius, in conjunction with the sun.
According to the theory of the an
Gent astronomers the combined
heat of the sun and the dog star
are responsible for the excessive hot
weather experienced during this pc
riod. However, later astronomers
have learned the rising of the sun
and the dog star at the same time is
a mere accident of nature. In time
the dog star will rise in the depth
of winter. The Egyptians began
their year with the rising of Sirius,
which conceded with the flooding
of the Nile.

VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE
TRAINING.

In order to meet the requirements
for teaching vocational agriculture
in the high schools of Kentucky,
twenty-eight men matriculated in
the summer school, University of
Kentucky, and received special
training in fruit growing, farm
management, vegetable gardening,
feed and feeding, breeds and types
of farm animals.
The State plans for vocational
agriculture to set up certain stand
ards for vocational teachers Some
of the men required to teach agri-
culture in high schools do not meet
all the requirements as yet and the
value of the six weeks training for
these men is such that each year the
enrolment for these special classes
is increased.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Says Nothing Like Plain Argo.
Phosphate to Put On Firm, Solid
Stay-There Flesh and Muscle and
Increase Strength. Vim, vigor and
Nerve Force. '@d.t

Physicians claim there is nothing
that viii increase weight, strength
and endurance like organic phos-
plate commonly known by druggists
as argo-phosphate; 1T is inexpensive
and is sold by all leading druggists
everywhere under guarantee to
give satisfaction or money refunded.
Weakness and thinness are usually
due to starved nervous conditions.
Our bodies need more phosphates
than are contained in the foods we
eat.
If you wish a more rounded figure
and plump well-developed arms,
neck and bust in place of hollows
you should simply take plain argo-
phosphate, as it builds up and re-
stores rundown nervous conditions
by phosphatizing the system. 1t
transforms the appearance and an
increase in weight it oftentimes
quickly produced.
The increase in weight also aids
in improving the general health.
SleeplessneSS, nervousness, lack of
energy and ambition quickly disap-
pear.
Pale cheeks are changed to rosy
cnes and dull eyes become bright
Miss Lena Brown of Atlanta, Ca,
who only weighed go pounds reports
that she gained 10 pounds in two
weeks time and says argo-phOsphate
has made a different person of her
and she has never felt better in her
life
SPECIAL NOTICE-Owing to the
fact that so many physicians and
druggists are recommending argo-
phosphate for relieving all nervous,
WORKOUT debilitated conditions and
the unusually large sale for argo-
phosphate there will be found in
in the market numerous substitutes
for the genuine article. All imita-
lions are inferior preparations and
owing to its ususual flesh producing
qualities it should not be used by
any one unless they desire to put on
flesh and increase in weight.

PREDICTS TAX TO BE
80 TO IS MILLS

Caldwell declared that the tax rate
next year will be so 10 s5 mills. The
rate this year is 10 mills.
"Under these circumstances II
does not seem advisable to add TO
the burden Of taxation by appropri.
ating money from the general fund
TO aid the street railway system" he
explained.
"The argument that the street
railway system benefits the whole
city and as such should be paid for
by the taxpayers is not entirely
sound. As a matter OF fact. the tax
payers are already contributing mp
proximatcly 100000 n year to the
car system because the treasury Is
losing the taxes hitherto paid by the
traction company and because vari.
Gus expenses are being defra yed
from the citys general fund"
Caldwell declared that another OBJ
lection to the plan Is the injustice
that would be worked TO patrons OF
the Rainier Valley line.
"They would be paying 7.cont
fare on that line and at the same
time. In paying taxes, helping to sup
port the municipal lines. In other
words, the patrons Of the Rainier
Valley line would not only be paying
their own fare, but also a part Of
Others"
