Q. What is the meaning of the
term dog days?-J. f. K.
A. Dog days comprise the hot,
sultry season of summe during
parts of July and August; so-called
from the fact that the rising of the
dog-star, Sirius, the brightest star
in the heavens, is coincident with
the rising of the sun. The ancients
thought this conjunction caused the
intense heat of summer, and the
maladies which then prevailed,
hence the popular supposition that
dogs are specially liable to go mad
at this season. 1t was by mere &C
eident that the rising of the star
conceded with the hottest season of
the year, in the times and countries
IF the old astronomers. It's rising
depends on the latitude of the place,
and is later and later every year In
all ATTITUDES. owing to procession. In
time the star may rise in the dead
of winter. Obviously, there is vari-
alton in the limits of the dog days,
although they are usually counted
from July 3 to August II, that is
twenty days before and twenty days
after the rising in unison of the

No exact per cent. of physical gain
could be given as the result of this
QUESTIONABLE, but indirectly the gain
Is marked and the increase in life's
span measures well up to the a
tional average of between ten and
eleven years.
The bathing facilities also show a
decided increase. More country
and farm people have bathrooms
than city jewellers eve imagined.
The direct gain in personal health
by regular bathing Is a great step
in the elimination of sickness and
contagion. Absolute change in sleep
ing garments from those worn dur
Ing the day was another sign of
great gains in health.
One feature which other sections
Of our country should try to improve
decidedly was length of time in eat
ing. The average was very low, only
ten to fifteen minutes.
Plan your daily health program so
thai twenty or twenty-five minutes
at least is spent at table. Your di-
gestive troubles and headaches will
show a decided gain by such a pro-
gram. Your children will be better
specimens of happy health.

four prominent citizens were arrested
by the Belgian military authorities as

sion of a bomb on Belgian troop
train crossing the Rhine bridge here.
Nine Belgian soldiers were killed out

The latter, who were on their way to

which killed ten Belgian soldiers and
injured forty-three other persons, have
been announced at French headquar-

Rhineland and include closing the from
tier as ordered by the Rhineland COM
mission. Interurban tramway service
in the Ruhr is back on normal basis.
Since passibe resistance was begun
by the Germans and the seizure Of all
railroads by the French, the interurban
street car lines have been jammed day
and night with passengers and freight.
The service has been more than
doubled since the occupation, the cars
TRANSPORTING mail, merchandise and
even coal. General De Goutte's new
decree obliges the Germans to reduce
the service to conditions existing a
year ago, and infraction Of the new
order by officials Is punishable by
five years Imprisonment and one hun
dred million gold marks fine.
German civilians to the number Of
223 have been arrested at Duisberg by
the Belgian authorities, most of them
for violation of new orders and state
of siege was declared after the bomb
explosion. The majority of them were
taken at night by Belgium patrols for
being out after the 10 o'clock curfew.
The cities and towns surrounding
Duisberg, Including Muelheim and
Hamborn have been notified by the
Belgians of the state of siege and
civilians are warned against entering

DOPE Plus M has added himself
to the number Of those who seek
to persuade France to let up on Ger
mnny, taking the stand that justice,
world peace and the interest Of the
creditors can best be served by a policy
that will not exhaust the resources
and impair the productivehess Of the
debtor nation.
Premier Poincare has been asserting
that his policy was supported by the
Vatican, but the pontiff, through the
medium of letter to Cardinal Gas.
parri, now tefutes this claim and takes
the same stand as that OF the British
government and Premier Mussolini Of
1taly-though the latter has been less
insistent than Downing street,
In his letter the pope suggests that
the amount Of German reparations be
determined by impartial judges fur
4ished with adequate data and with
means to control the reparations sums.
He continues:
Likewise, If 1t is just that creditors
should have guarantees proportional in
importance to their credits and such
as win assure collections from which
vital interests depend, we leave 1t to
such creditors to consider whether It
Is necessary to maintain at all costs
territorial occupation implying heavy
sacrifices Tor both the occupied and
occupying countries, or whether It is
rather preferable to resort, even
though more gradually, to more proper
and less odious guarantees.
"Once both parties accepted such
peaceful terms and ended their bitter
ness and territorial occupations, 1t
would be possible to reach that sincere
pacification and peace which is indis-
pensable for economic reconstruction
and is ardently desired by all.
This pacification and reconstruction
II such great blessing for all nations
as to Justify any grave sacrifice"
Premier Theunis Of Belgium, whose
cabinet resigned on local issue, has
not been able to form n new ministry

ing weaker daily. In effect, Poincare
Is being isolated and his position is
becoming more and more difficult. The
French budget Is dempralized because
In II immense sums are listed as recov-
cradle from Germany. and the franc is
falling In value.
Maybe the economic experts who
condemn the course of the French In
the Ruhr have the best of the argu.
ment. but 1t seems to some of us that
when they assert that the Industrial
decentralization Of Germany means the
ruin Of Europe, II not Of the entire
world. they are overlooking what the
economic ruin of France means. The
French simply must obtain from Ger
many the greater part Of what they
claim. and this greater part Germany
has shown no intention Of paying un.
