kind treatment are to be found. The
public hospitals and those conducted
by societies have room for a greater
number of patients.
There is general recognition"
said a patron Of the Bide-a-Wee
Home for Animals, that the dog Is
a member of the social community.
Therefore he needs and gets good
treatment when he is i'll, and In
consequence the profession OF dog
doctor is now a recognized and re-
spectacle calling. The dog doctor
needs to be surgeon as well, and as
need scarcely remark, he must not
but he must like them too.
TN the clean wards, well ven
tilated but not drafty, that are
feature of the modern cat and dog
hospital, you won't find a patient
that is afraid. If the dogs and
cats weren't contented there you'd

them to realize they are not used to
harsh words or rough handling.
mo sign of anxiety, no restless
ness or fear will ever be noticel
where the right individual is at the
head of ward, for the sick animals
are quick to learn that they are
going to be helped, not harmed"
One of the patients in an animal
hospital at present is a cat suffer-
ing from indigestion caused by over
indulgence in her favorite vice of
gum chewing. The doctor in charge
Of the ward where she is mending
said it was the first case of the
kind that ever came under his no
tice. 1t was possible. he thought,
that thoughtless children first fed
her gum and kept up the practice
until she acquired the habit.
A test was tried. The cat lay in
the back of her cage and glanced
indifferently at the person in front
of it until he put a piece Of gum
in his mouth and began to chew 1t
vigorously. Her interest was at once
awakened and she came to the front
of the cage, arched her back
coquettishly and plainly begged for
a piece of chewing gum.
Don't give it to her." warned the
doctor, "as soon as she is well
enough we are going to put some
ipecac in gum and feed it to her
in the hope that, being nauseated,
she will never look on gum again."
If not so much has been said
about cat patients of the hospitals
it Is because these animals In i'll
ness are not so interesting as dogs
and not so human. A sick cat re-
verts, it would seem, to some of the
instincts that date back to Egypt
where their ancestors were sacred
animals and she rather resents hav-
ing notice taken of her indisposition.
While she may not precisely sulk
she prefers that you do not notice
her and SO that you will not have
the opportunity she is likely to
creep toward the back of the cage
and keep her face turned to the
wall.

the latter is series of lectures de-

with the Board OF Education on the
humane treatment and care of ami

sands of pamphlets on the same sub
ject. All this costs money.
An official spoke feelingly and
freely on this matter. Said he:

BLEDSOE AND GAY
OUT ON BOND

Jacksonville, Sept. Ill. J. Gay,
federal prohibition agent and j. E.
Bledsoe, his companion, held in con-
nection with the killing of Harry
Givers at Orlando last week, were re-
leased in bonds of $500 following a
hearing before Federal Judge H. D.
Clayton. The men had been held by
state authorities under bonds of $4,000
and $4,000, respectively. They came
before Judge Clayton through habeas
corpus proceedings instituted to
bring them within federal jurisdic-
tion.
Gay reiterated his story before
Judge Clayton yesterday that he shot
Givens in self-defense after he pur-
chased liquor from him and revealed
his identity. Bledsoe's status was not
brought out at the hearing. At a
hearing in Orlando, he testified that
he was merely accompanying Gay
while the latter claimed he deputized
him. The federal authorities hold the
view, however, that he was assisting
a federal officer.
Judge Clayton ruled that it was
clear the two men were acting in the
federal service when Givens was kill
ed and for that reason the federal
court should have jurisdiction.
1t was indicated, when the case
comes up for trial, the men will be
prosecuted by state authorities for
Orange county while they will be
given the benefit of the defense of the
! United States attorney. The case
will be heard in federal court.
State Attorney Jones of Orlando
appeared against the men while Har-
ry Reinstein, United States assistant
attorney, appeared for the federal
prohibition department.
Witnesses included two men named
Partin and Cox who, it was brought
out, had been arrested and were in
custody of Bledsoe when Givens was
approached Bledsoe lost his men,
however, in the events incident to
Givens' death. T. ]. Ryals, who is
understood to have been with Gay,
was not held culpable in Givens'
death.

OSAKA MOST EXPENSIVE CITY

Osaka, Japan, Aug. 17-(By Mail
to Associated Press Osaka, the in
dustrial capital of Japan has the rep
utation of being the most expensive
city of the empire in which to live.
The prices of commodities in Osaka
in June averaged 81 per cent over the
same month last year, Toxic the
next expensive city, averaged 6.8
per cent. The general advance in
prices In ten years has been 1909
per cent in Osaka and 1904 per cent
in Toxic, according to official figures.
Believing that the high prices are
due to profteering the government
recently ordered the department
stores to make reduction of Is per
cent in necessities. The stores re-
piled with bargain sales, at which
they got rid of their surplus stock.
This did not satisfy the government
so an order has gone out to all re-
tailers to reduce the prices of "coba"
a sort of macaroni and "tofu" bean
paste, staple foods of the people. If
present weather conditions continue
a good crop is expected to bring down
the price of rice.

KOJIMA ISLAND FOR SALE

Toxic, Aug. 17.-(By Mail to the
Associated Press).-The island of
Kojima, belonging to the Hachijo
group between Vries Island and the
Bonins, is for sale. 1t has a circum-
ference of between seven and eight
miles and boasts of two villages of
inhabitants who are mostly farmers
and fishers and live chiefly on sweet
potatoes. The resources of the island
being limited, they are too poor to
meet the taxes which are troubling
the village assembly. AS a way out
of the difficulty the assembly has de-
cided to sell the island at the price of
10000 yen, together with 5000 yen
for the fishing rights. 1t is reported
that the inhabitants of Rishima, a
neighboring island with a population
of 3O5 persons, also are. desirous of
selling their island.
