Pherson-a friend Of Pages mother-that he got his
Job. Since then he has been continuously IN the

pacties.
The late Champ Clark oace asked Page in all

The Mad Dog Menace

Fully awake to the need for drastic action, city
and county officials after q series Of conferences
have about determined On a course which viii rid
Cameron county Of the menace Of rabies.
IN the past year It is reported that more per
sons from the Lower Rio Grande Valley took treat
nent at the Pasteur institute la Austin than from
the remainder Of the state. And it is believed as
many more victims were given treatment ia their
homes.
1t seems there is q law which protects the life
Of the most worthless cur regardless Of how serious
q menace he may be considered to the life and
health Of men, women and children. Ia other
words. officers cannot go cut with guns and pro-
nisciously shoot down every dog running at large.
In order to cope with the present situation IN
Cameron county it is planned to enlist the co-opera-
hon Of all city and county agencies il a concerted
drive.
ct would be useless for the county to attempt
the work of freeing our citizens Of this menace
without the aid of all municipal authorities in the
county," SAYS County Judge o. 9. Dancy-
"Rut the county is ready and anxious TO Coop
erate in any concerted move which will produce
real results.
"A mad DOG is a much greater menace in a city
than in the rural sections and is much harder to
control, therefore, it is necessary that city and
county officials work together" "
All agree that something must be done. Browns
Vile has an ordinance requiring that license fees
must be paid on ali dogs. Enforcement Of this law,
witt, the additional requirement that all dogs run
ming at large by muzzled. soon would control the
situation within the city limits.
To enforce this law would require employment
At q dog catcher, building Of a pound where the
nantive animals could be held until they were claim
ed or killed.
Riuid enforcement Of this law is being consider
al as the best means of cleaning up mad dogs in
TarownsvilIe. and the county is being looked To for
Generation in handling the large number of worth
sees n,aney ours which live and have their being
s,st outside the city limits. beyond the reach Of
municipal law.

about a hundred years ago, leaving

And then, suddenly, Brown woke
up from the past, and re-entered
the urgent present. That light from
the house was his sign-the sign for
which he had waited. For too long
he had been dominated by stronger
personalities. He bore those strong
er personalities no grudge. In his
honesty, he admitted their superior

riority Of the fast ball that boWled
him. Brown was not one to make
excuses for himself. But he had the
human longing for supremacy, the
longing that lies and WitherS in ev-

remaining nea the gloomy, desert

parted from ii, some adventure
might befalI him which would re-
instate himself a little in his own
eyes, and perhaps, also, In the eyes
OF another.
That. however, was not the sole
reason why Brown had remained. IL
had been demonstrated already That
Brown could be an altruiSt as well
as an egoist. The odd chance that
he could be of service, even II his
service meant physical or psyche
logical extinction, had held him TO
the SPOT. and had urged him to re-
fuse the comfort OF a mattress.

Health and Right Living
BY ROYAL s. COPELAND, wi. ID.
Former Commissioner of Health,

Everybody hates to have pain. A
man will do almost anything to be
relieved OF it. He will try any pre-
scription offered. That is why
pain killers" have such sale.
There is little choice in pains. 1t
seems to you the particular pain
you have, Is the worst that ever
happened to anybody. You just
cant stand it."
Perhaps L have told you the
story Of the old lady who tele-
phoned a new doctor at two o'clock
in the morning. She wanted him
to come over at once. / can't
stand this pain another minuteI"
How long have you had it2" ask
ed the sleepy doctor. Thirty years,
and / can't endure 1t any longerl"
Some patient persons do put up
with pain for a long time. They
appear to regard it as inevitable, or
have faith to believe 1t will wear
out after a while. But the time
comes when resistance Is broken
and there Is a demand for relief.
There are many cases Of drug
addiction that can be traced to
the desire for control of pain. IN
fortunately. there are tens Of thou
sands Of drug addicts who have no
such excuse for their condition.
We can pity the sufferer who be-
comes addicted, but not the social
addict who takes the drug for the

it. icy riding" and pain killing
are two differdnt things.
What should we do about pain2
There Is always a cause for pain.
/ need not tell you this. But many
times it Is difficult to find that
cause. Yet it must be located, If
a real cure Is to be effected.
Toothache and earache r 50
definitely located that, in most in
stances, the cause of the pain Is
readily found. Headache, neural
gia, neuritis, rheumatic" pains, and
pain in the abdomen, are more OBJ
scure as to cause.
1t is not natural to have pain.
Persistent or periodical pain must
always be viewed with suspicion.
1t must not be disregarded. Even
though 1t may come from some
thing Of no particular consequence
in itself, the efficiency and hap
piness Of the victim will be i'm
paired. You can't do your work
well if you are suffering. But
there may be a cause which has
other possibilities, worse than pain.
I plead with you to give early
attention to any annoying symp-
toms, the cause Of which Is a mys-
terry to you. For your peace Of
mind, as well as for the relief Of
pain, find out what is wrong.
There are few troubles, very few
indeed, that cannot be treated sue
cessfully in the first stages. 1t
isn't fair to your doctor, to your
family and associates, and partic-
ularly to yourself, to neglect a
searching examination TO locate the
cause Of your misery.

OLD YALE FENCE
IS STOLEN

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 90
A section Of the original Yale
fence, valued as an antique at
more than $4,000. was stolen
from the Photographic rooms of
Pach Brothers here during the

a third-story window. gained an
entrance, wrapped the fence in
either cloth or paper, lowered it
through the window into an auto
mobile and disappeared. They

restaurant on the ground floor,
who thought that they were work
ers in another office in the block.
The restaurant employees reported

athletic captain or group for half
0 century. It was taken from the
fence which stood at the corner
Of College and Chapel Streets in
front of the oad brick row.
Other sections Of the fence were
distributed among o few official

valuable and large sums have been
offered to the Pach company by
several clubs for the section 1t

: Ray Pratt, head Of the firm,
consulted with the Yale authori-
ties, who will aid in a search for
the stolen section. Capt. Waldo
Greene, Of the football team, said
he would delay the taking Of the
official picture Of the team six
weeks 10 assure its being taken
with the members seated on the
old fence.

Attractions At Theatres
JUDGMENT OF HILLS"
 AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

All the stark virility of the Ken lucky mountaineers is brought to the screen in Judgment of the Hills" the remarkable FBO pie ture which comes to the Coliseum theatre tonight.
 It is this atmosphere of the un- couth hillsmen that is perhaps the most unusual feature of the pro- duction, and which has helped to make it one of the outstanding mo- tion pictures of the year. Director Leo NIeehan is said to have main- tained an illusion of reality which is in every way remarkable, and he was fortunate in having the services of a cast which has done full justice to the story.
 The lovely Virginia Valli plays the leading feminine role, that of a gently y-reared school teacher who goes to Graysons Gap to take charge of the education of the children in this rude mountain community. The role of the hero who is decidedly not a hero is in the hands of Orville Caldwell, who achieved fame for his play ing of The Knight in Morris Gest' s great stage production, "The Mira cle" The part of Tad Denni- son, the third of the leading char acters in Judgment of the Hills is played by eight-year- Frankie Darro, hailed as the logical success sor to Jackie Coogan, and contrib uting to this picture a characteri- zation that has been the means of elevating him to the heights Of stardom.
