Clyde WEIGH Says His Pet Doesn't Steal

the "Rootin-Tootin'' ranch out seven
miles from York, in the heart of the

hills is hills.
Frank was named after DR.. Frank Nc
Coy. health specialist. who advocates the
eating of carrots by men, women, chill
dren, and like Sloan's liniment, they
are supposed to be good for man and
beast"
Old Frank came to the Welchs when
they bought the Rootin-Tootin ranch
after a long trip out from Chicago where
they were farming / n a printing office
SOM place on South 63rd street. Frank
perhaps has tasted meat, but since he
went to the ranch he has lived on veg
etables with now and then a mole for
Sunday dinner.
AT this time Of the year the WEIGH
family harvests the big crop OF cabbages
carrots and yellow turnips. The dog
follows them around. He does not steal
turnips. They are too valuable. u he
waits for the pen-knife which Clyde uses
in digging turnips to slip, then he knows
he gets the roots.
Visitors to the Rootin-Tootin ranch
watching a dog whose mother was 9
sheep dog and whose father was a mys-
terry, noted a big and ambitions dog fol
lowing the boys who were digging car
rots. The dog took only what was thrown
to him and Clyde WEIGH says he eats
only the things recommended by DR.. Nc
Coy. He has never tried the orange
juice diet, but lives c~ontentedly on car
rots, bits of cabbage. now and then Q

Der.
Frank will be entered next year in the

State Fair Dog show. He puts on weight
or takes it of, depending on the garden
