The tiny claws on the inside Of a
dogs leg are all that remain of his
thumbs and big toes. You will notice
that there are only four real toes on
each foot. 1t is usual to remove them
whilst puppies are quite small, for if
they are left the dog is apt to tear
them when he burrows. Many dogs
are born without them.

The city OF Ottawa may well be
proud OF the big advancement that
has been made this year to the build
ing situation. II has been estimated
that from January LIST, up to this date
there his been s327,900.00 expended
for buildings, additions and altera-
tions. in the city OF Ottawa. II is in
teresting TO note that this unusual
building boom has struck Ottawa at
the time when IL was most needed. be-
cause, according to the last census
thre was nearly $50 more families
in Ottawa than there was residence
buildings or apartments, but aside
from this fact there is the advantage
of having enough employment to
keep skilled and unskilled labor at
work, which cannot help but reflect a
healthy condition into q community.
In a recent survey that was conduct
ed by some fifteen Chambers OF Com
merce in cities ranging in size from
ten thousand to fifty thousand popula-
ton, it was found that building ma
terials were at that time, nearly two
month ago-down to a level that
would make II probable to build, and
in comparing the wage scale it was
found that while prices for some
trades were a little out of proportion
and somewhat higher than pre- war
scales, 1t was at point where not
much change could be looked for in
side of a fear or two on account OF
the great shortage of homes thruout
the entire nation and the general loos-
ening up of money for building purpos-
es. These things all effect the labor
and material market and the predic-
lions made early this year to the eff
feet that there would be a slight in
