Foil Fiends BY Training
Dog to Eat From Own Dish

With reports Of dog-haters at work
in many localities, the Chapel Ken.
mel Foundation, Rockford, Illinois, Is
stresslng upon dog-owners the neces-
slty of training their animals not to
eat food at any other place than at
their regularly appointed eating dish.
There are still some animals having
two legs, walking upright, classed tech
nically as human beings, who purposely
put out poisoned meat for dogs, cats
and the like, the Foundation points
out. All instances Of this kind should
be reported Immediately to the proper
authorities. Unfortunately, the laws
do not provide severe enough peniten-
tlary sentences for these wretches. In
the meantime, the wise course to fol-
low and one that will save possible
grief and heartache, Is to traSn your
dog to refuse food offered by strangers
and to teach him to avoid eating at
any time and place.
There is no better way of teaching
your dog not to accept food from
strangers than to feed him a good,
wholesome, well-balanced meat ration
regularly at an appointed time each
day, at the same place, and in the
same utensils A well-fed dog Is more
disposed to attend to his own affairs.
Today, soon after he has eaten his
regular meal, take your dog outside.
Place some tempting morsel in front
of him. Very likely he will lurch for
ward to seize 1t. Command, mo"
fiercely. This may not stop him. Slap
him lightly on the shoulders or hind
quarters, (never on the head, muzzle
or loins,) and again command, mo"
Next, let a stranger offer the tempt
ing morsel. Repeat the punishment.
Then walk with him through an alley
and let him run loose. Keep near him,

Savases' Fishing
Method Reveals
Spray For Flies

Washington, D. CA spray that Is
sure death to fruit-eating insects but
harmless to humans who eat the fruit
is claimed by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
It Is the result Of long research and
worldwide hunt for an insect
poison harmful only to insects.
Many insect poisons now In use, ex-
plains Dr. r. G. Roark, chemist Of the
Department of Agriculture. contain
ingredients, such as arsenic, that are
harmful to animals and humans II
taken in sufficient quantities.
Two-Way Killer.
The new poison, called rotenone
gets insects coming and going" It
kills them II they eat It, and also If 1t
comes in contact with their bodies ex-
ternally.
Scientists Of the Department Of
Agriculture, experimenting on them
selves, ate quantities of the powder
deliberately but suffered no Ill eff
fects.
The ingredients used in making ro-
tenone were discovered not by scien-
lists but by primitive natives of South
America and the East Indies. The
poison occurs in the roots of several
tropical plants, especially cube (pro-
nounced coobay) and derris.
Even Stupefles Fish
The natives use the poisons in fish
Ing, making an extract of the roots of
the plants, and pouring it into a
stream. The poison, though greatly
diluted, intoxicates or stupefies the
fish so that they are easily captured.
Eating the poisoned fish has no i'll
effects on the natives, explorers no.
ticeG, and this fact indicated to scien-
lists that the poison might be the
kind they were seeking.
Rotenone can be used as the basis
of household insect powders, for ami
NAL powders, such as flea dusts, and
for preparations to kill plant lice and
fruit-eating insects, DR.. Roark says.
May Be Grown Here.
| 1t is believed the plants from which
the poison is extracted can be Guilt
waited in tropical countries and per-
haps in the southernmost parts of the
United States, making this country
independent Of outside supplies.
The Department OF Agriculture also
is experimenting to see If the poisons
can be produced synthetically.

AN INExCUsABLE RECORD.

The accident problem is of vital in
terest TO every citizen.
During 1880 accidents accounted for
the deaths Of $4,000 persons, and TO-
100000 injuries. For these accidents
the American people paid $3,250, 0oO,-
900.
Only five diseases cause more deaths
than accidents, and between the ages
Of five and fourteen, accidents cause
more than twice as many deaths as
the most important disease. The death
rate from accidents in this country is
twice as high as In the principal
European countries. The motor vehicle
leads all other causes, accounting for
$4,000 deaths In 1880, followed by
home accidents with 10000 and in
dustrial accidents totaling 10000.
But there is a brighter side to the
accident picture. Child deaths have
been decreased by persistent safety
education. Accidents have been re-
duced % per cent in two years by
1000 industrial concerns reporting TO
the National Safety Council. The
number of commercial trucks involved
in accidents had gone down 10 per
cent since 1927. And, in scheduled air
transport, the death rate declined 81
per cent from 1923 to 1880.
But when $4,000 people can be killed
in a single year in automobiles, homes
and industries, every motorist, every
employer and employe and all other
citizens must recognize their own in
dividual responsibility to help reduce
the accident toll.
