How about a good bath for your
dog? Think what a panacea it is
for yourself. 1t is restful to the
nerves and refreshing. Most dogs
dote on a bath and are frisky as
possible afteward, registering pleas
ure and well being.
Water a little above tepid is best
and plenty OF good pure soap made
into a jelly or applied in solid form.
A good lather is worked up and the
dog bathed from head to tail. 1t
is possible to place the hand over
the eyes and hold the ears down at
the same time, thus eliminating the
irritating experience of soap in the
eyes and water in the ears.
After all, the soiled soapSuds are
removed, rinse thoroughly, and
when I say thoroughly, I mean that
it is most important. A weak So
luton of creolin and water may be
used as a final bath. This is anti
septic, good for the coat, has a clean
odor and is not inviting for fieas.
Dry Ears Thoroughly
Many times our pups and dogs
shake their heads and seem rest
less and we do not realize the
trouble until real pain is indicated.
Sometimes a flea gets into the ear
and causes discomfort, but the ear
canker causes more. Failure to dry
the inner ear thoroughly after the
bath is the reason.
A home remedy for the ear
canker is to apply a harmless
antiseptic, such as peroxide or
glycothymaline on a bit Of cotton
twisted around an orange stick.
Then sprinkle powdered oxide OF
zinc on the affected part. Several
treatments will allay the irritation.
It is not wise to permit the dog
to go out in the cold until
thoroughly dried, although in sum-
mer, as long as he is active, the
fresh air and sunlight are most
desirable.
Brushing Is Best
After the dog is dry, a vigorous
brushing and combing grooms him
up and he is bound to have nice
sense of well being. A good brush
ing every day not only keeps him
feeling fit, but eliminates some OF
the soil on his coat.
Unless it is absolutely necessary
to wash a dog frequently, I do not
advocate 1t, as good brushing goes
a long way toward keeping him
clean, and constant washing is none
too good for the coat.
A young puppy should not be
washed until he is at least 4 months
old and then great care should be
exercised that he does not catch
cold.

The opinion was given TO Comp

he should issue warrants for the
maximum amount allowed under
the law or whether the fund should
be prorated so as not TO create a

was not even sufficient to pay the

preferred class.
He said there would be available

Lawrence said. THAT Is. that there

preference in behalf OF confederate
veterans who have qualified for

the available pension fund. to the
exclusion, where the fund Is insult
ficient to leave a balance over and

out by Judge Dancy, who has Just
returned from Austin, where he at
tended q good roads meeting. and
consulted with state officials.
Letter TO Chamber
His letter TO the chamber OF com
merce follows:
II want to thank the chamber of
commerce for having appointed a
special committee to cooperate
with the commissioners court in the
above matter, and especially in
helping TO solve the many difficult
problems we have to contend with.
'HThe road bed has now been more
than a year and with the exception
Of about two miles Of drag-line fill
Is now ready for pavement. BY TAX
ting advantage Of water nov in the
barrow pits and pumping same on
these fills. the entire road bed can
be ready for paving in a few months
doubtless by the time we can solve
the other problems.
There are some things that In
my opinion simply must be done
before we spend approximately half
a million dollars Of public money
down are:
"First.-We must have unques-
toned title to right-of-way. We have
letters ETC., for present right-of-way
but that Is not sufficient.
"Seccnd.-Park and parking space
on and near the beach including
this side Of the beach proper.
"Third.-And most important Is
a free bridge and roadway connect
ing the Brazos island beach. The
best beach Is on BrazoS island and
IL viii be a great injustice to our
taxpayers to use their money in
building a pavement down there
and then compel them to pay toll TO
get to the best and largest beach.
Now II we want to find the best
way not 10 get the tourist trade Is
run them up against a toll bridge.
There Is growing all over the United
States a bitter sentiment against
toll bridges.
''The county by owning a toll
bridge could assist In financing the
road but, I would even favor a road
district rather than this method.
How In get the Pavement
IF we had the deadlock broken
financing would be easy. AS out Of
the remaining 100000 Of the six
million dollars authorization the
Brownsville precinct should have
between $60o.0O and S650.000 or
from 100000 to $4,000 more the
amount necessary to complete this
pavement.
by contributing to the build
ing Of the Rangerville road the
deadlock could IN my opinion be
broken. AS Rangerville is not in the
Brownsville precinct territory or in
trade territory Of the city OF
Brownsville / make no assertion that
II Is legally or morally right for
Brownsville to help on paving this
road. This could be done out OF
automobile moneys at an expense.
I'm my opinion to Brownsville OF
from six to ten thousand dollars and
from q strictly dollars and cents
stand point would be cheaper than
the road district plan.
