cheeks and say, "Oh, mamma, mamma,
if you had only made me mind. j

this awful thing" And l also saw
in the case of young man in court,
who was also sentenced to prison for

to his mother and father, with tears

maybe things would have been differ

he had committed the awful crime and
he was sentenced. There are hun
drcds of just such cases happening all
over the country every day, just on
account of the parents not being
strict in raising up their children and
not commencing in time with them.
l have heard some mothers and
fathers boast and brag about never
whipping their children and say that
they did not believe in whipping them

So plead with you, fathers and
mothers to begin from now on to
teach your children at two years of
age what is right and what is wrong.
so that they will make better men and
women and am sure that you will
rejoice by so doing and that you will
be rewarded in Heaven for same.

mouth, run frantically about and dis
play all the symptoms commonly as
ISOLATED with rabies, that it would be
waste of space to erumerate them.
Only a competent veterinary can. and
then only after examination, deter
mine whether dog actually carries
the hydrophobia germ, no matter how
much he may froth at the mouth.
One of the books accepted AS stand
ard on the care and diseases of The
dog is that By Al Eberhardt. He has
handled tens of thousands of dogs,
and has been bitten hundreds of times.
Yet he states N his volume that he
has never seen but one case of what
may have been genuine rabies, and
that he was always very doubtful o.
that one also.
The public may be very sure that
in the greatest majority of alleged
cases of "mad dog" the animal is
only suffering from an acute indiges
ton or other ailment which is far
from malignant. And that the dogs
condition is due directly and solely to
lack of care on the part of the owner.
The San Antonio Kennel Club holds
that no one has any business to own
dog who is not willing to care for
it properly. If this is too much trou
bic for the owner, then he should
either give away the animal to some
one who is willing to care for it, or
have it put out of its misery at once.
In this connection. as part of the
work the club is doing, it is always
willing and glad to furnish any dog
owner with few simple rules for the
care of these animals. which if fol
lowed, will keen their pet in good
health and condition.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-08-26

Under proper care of a dog comes
not only regular and palatable food,
but a proper restraint of the animal.
The writer has no patience with those
who take for their own a dog, and
thereafter allow it to roam all over
the neighborhood. Allowed to do this
even the finest and best fed iogs will
investigate garbage pals. and eat thsrt
which is not to be eaten. Is il re-
markable thar he gets spell of acute
indigestion? And the neighbors could
be arrested for what they think "A
the family that let's its pet upset all
the garbage pals along the block night
after night.
1t is not mere coincidence that
the dogs that are allowed TO roam n
large are the ones that cause the "maJ
dog" scares. You never hear of one
that is kept in the owners yard. and
given good regular food "going mad"
1t is those dogs who roam about. eat
ing what they can find when they
can find it, that get acute attacks. Of
indigestion. or ptomaine poisoning,
froth at the mouth. have a few fits
and presently somebody has the bright
idea to yell mad dog" and you have
another "scare."
In other words, il you want to keep
dog, make up your mind TO feed
him regularly; see that he always has
unrestricted access to fresh water for
drinking, and keep him on Your owl
premises, behind a fence that IS in good
repair. If you are not willing 10 do
this, you have no bu~iness owning a
dog in city.

APPROVE CARNIVAL COMPANY

10 the EDITOR.
This organization was formed by the
legitimate show men of the outdoor
show world, for the purpose of COM
polling all outdoor show men to give
clean, moral and wholesome shows and
amusements and to conduct nothing
but fair games and concessions.
These show men selected me as their
censor or commissioner to help them
in their work, and to see to it that
al outdoor shows are conducted in
such q manner as not to bring dis
credit on the profession in general.
1 am writing this letter to you on
behalf of the Clarence Il. Wortham's
Worlds Best Show, because of the
fact that they are part and parcel of
your city, and know you will be in
terested in their progress since they
claim your city as their home.
The Wortham's Worlds Best Show
has been playing in the northeast part
of the country since the opening of
their season, and while had them in
vestigated, unknown to the manage
ment. several times and received won

Fair / went on the grounds unaI-

tigation of this show before my pres
ence was known. There are about
five hundred carnivals in the United
States and 1 have visited great
number of them since my appointment
and I can safely say, that this show
is one of the best carnivals have
had the pleasure of visiting, which
speaks very we'll for San Antonio !;
the fronts are clean and attractive,
and the employees are ladies and gem
tlemen; each show gives value for
money received and there is not an OBJ
jectionable feature or indecent show
permitted.
The Siamese Twins, which they
have advertised all over the country
as the "San Antonio Grown Together
Girls" have turned ont to be one Of
the biggest publicity promotions for
the city of San Antonio that l have
ever come in contact with. While ]
was in Davenport saw several
clergymen who were investigating the
show, and also heard a lecture by
professor to graduating class of
the Palmer Society, which numbered
about 1900 people, about these Siam
csc Twins of San Antonio. Texas.
feel it my duty to write this let
ter TO the newspapers and public of
ficials of your city, to call your~ht-
tention to the character and personnel
of the Wortham's Worlds Best Show.
as well as to the fact that the owners
of this wonderful show. Messrs. Beck
man. Gerety and Robinson are three
of the prime movers of this -organiza-
ton, which has for its object the up
lifting Of the morale of the outdoor
amusement profession.
You are at liberty TO publish this
letter if you feel that the residents of
your city are interested in the growth
and progress of these claiming your
city as its home.
Yours sincerely.

KEEP YOUR DOG UP.

To the Editor:
1t was very gratifying to lead your
editorial published last Monday, Au-
gust 6. i refer to the one headed
Take Your Choice"
Most people have beer taught from
childhood TO regard as "mad" any
dog that froths at the MOUTH runs
wildly about, or otherwise acts queer.
So now. in the summer months. while
many dogs do those very things. from
variety of causes. they are at once
popularity catalogued as mad" and so
treated.
Besides, we all love the sensational.
1t is so much more interesting to
yell, "Run, Jones' dog has gone mad :"
than TO remark. "Weli, ] see Jones
dog has a bad stomach ache. Wonder
why he don't try keeping him at homs
and feeding the poor thing instead of
letting him eat out of all the neigh
borhood garbage pails?"

the least connected with hydrophobia
that will cause dog to froth at the

KEEP THE OLD NAME,
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
For many years San Antonio has
attracted many tourists. More and
more have come each year. Many
have returned year after year. Some
have remained and built homes and
established business here.
They have been attracted by the eli
mate and other reasons but princi-
pally by the quaint charm of the city.
Old adobe houses, the Alamo, the mis-
sions, the plazas, the winding river.
the old Spanish names and buildings
and all that goes to make San An
tonic different from other cities.
Having built up its reputation San
Antonio seems TO forget that this "dif-
ferent" quality is its drawing card.

spend thousands of dollars this year
and increase her tourist trade. Some
Of this money should be spent in re-
pairing and saving the Old Spanish
governors palace, in keeping up the
old builii-gs. Ia every way retaining
the old charm and personality of the

but two tiny blocks. In view of such
stupidity allow me to make the fol-
lowing suggestions:
Call Houston street Main street.
Call Commerce street Wall street.
Call Alamo Plaza the Common.
Call old Military Plaza Columbus
Circle.
Paint the Alamo red and put a
large sign on Top advertising Pearl in
electric lights. Use the old gardens
as n soft drink place. u
Do away with the patio at the
Menger and the st. Anthony roof
garden and let all restaurants become
down cellar cafeterias. Do away en-
tirely with Fiesta week. Plaster the
old missions with signs advertising
Beecham's pills and Bull Durham.
Drain the river and make il sub
way. Close the japanese gardens OF
turn them into scenic railway and

have the satisfaction of being just
like every other old burg in the u.

TEACH THE CHILDREN.
To the Editor:

10 the Editor:
There is none that know, how 10
love 6 child until he has onc & his
own. There are many, no doubr, that
may think that they really love some
one else's child, yet it is nothing 10
compare with that love that fathec
and mother have for their own child.
There are no words sufficient to ex-
plain such love-
i am the father of seven children
and l think that / know what i am
talking about While it may be true
that there are some fathers and moth
ers whose love for their children ism t
as great as others, but for myself
can say this-there isn't enough
money in this world to buy one OF my
children and would surely miss them
if they were taken from me. You
must first have thing, Of course. be-
fore you can miss it, or, in other
words, a thing that you never nave
you never miss.
l began to teach my children at
stwo years old what was right and
what was wrong, yet, don't claim
that they are perfect, as there are
none that are perfect. ] raised them
up so that whenever they did any lit
tie thing that wasn't right, all l had
to do was Just to look ut them and
they knew what it meant and l used
to tell them that the more severe !
punished them, the more / loved them.
but as they were so young, they, of
course could not understand just what
l meant by telling them such a thing,
but after they got old enough to un-
derstand what / meant, they thanked
me. / believe that any mother and
father that has the right kind Of love
for their children will be strict and
firm in raising them up and would
not want them to bring any disgrace
upon their parents or themselves.
Fathers and mothers that don't have
the right kind of love for their chill
dren will not try TO make them do the
right thing and don't care what be-
comes of them and don't care what
kind of an end they come to.

me that it is impossible to get the best
into the mind of the boy or girl while
the stomach is empty. A well cooked
meal for each student will be of great
advantage to the student and may be
prepared at small cost by having it
cooked in school by apprentices.
Not alone will this be an advantage
to the child but many of us who have
club duties will find more time to per-
