Exercise Care in
Selecting
Pets
Rx LIZ HUME

The future owner of a dog
cannot be cautioned too much
to be sure that the general
health of the animal he wishes
to purchase is good.
It is safe to say that nothing
is more diSheartening to a novice
than a sickly new puppy on his
hands. He is faced in such an
emergency with disbursement.
What will he do? Is there any
way out of it? ,
Expert Advice
Sometimes there is hope, fire.
quently there is not. Ordinarily,
one has the ability to ascertain
for himself whether the puppy
is a healthy one. The proSpec-
tive pets general appearance,
especially when compared close
ly with the other puppies of the
litter, will usually speak for it.
self in this matter.
However, it is always a splen-
did and a far more satisfactory
plan to have the puppy
thoroughly examined by a reli-
able veterinarian Of your own
selection.
Never, under any considera-
tion, accept an ailing puppy, or
one that does not appear to be
in perfect health in every way.
Use your own common sense.
Even a slightly indisposed puppy
today may be a critically ill one
tomorrow, and you have simply
acquired disappointment and
wasted your time.
An absolutely well puppy can
be none too healthy. Always
pick a well one, or none at all.
If you are in the least bit Skepti-
cal, regardless of other opinions
on the matter, pass the puppy
by and look for another.
Proper Age
And, as for the age, don't buy
a puppy that is too young to be
taken away from the mother
dog. A conscientious breeder
will never permit his puppies to
be taken away until they are of
sufficient age for weaving.
Not only has he too much
sympathy for the puppy, but he
will not risk his reputation by
having sickly, unsatisfactory
animal returned to him by a dis
pleased customer, or by having
a stunted, poorly developed dog
pointed out to others as having
come from his kennels.

His Sister Interferes
Dear Miss Fairfax:
About three weeks ago I was
run down by an automobile.
and had to stay in bed. My
older sister, who is married, is
a terrible "butter-in." and she
took that occasion to come to
our home and help take care
of me-but I'd rather have had
Satan's wife, if you ask me.
I have two or three girl
friends, neighborS' daughters,
and as we all went to school
together, they run in and out
Of our house as if it was their
own home. She set mother
against every one of them.
One, she decided, was fast; the
other, lazy, and the other
looked like an invalid. The
jolly friendship we had all had.

just wrecked by sister Aggie.

have vanished. They are all
half-mad with me. and don't
know just what it's all about.
AGGIE'S LITTLE BROTHER.
Why don't you have a sensl-
BILE talk with your mother, who
apparently never noticed the
glaring faults in these young
ladies until your meddlesome
sister pointed them out.
It's too bad that. in addition
to your automobile accident,
you should have your pleasant
friendships with these old
Schoolmates interrupted. I'm
sure your mother will be reason
able and help to straighten out
things for you. Alas, there are
a lot of Aggies in the world.

Birth o. a Nation


Dear Miss Fairfax:
To settle an argument between
my sweetheart and myself,
would you be kind enough to
tell me the source of the motion
picture known as THE Birth of
a Nation" My sweetheart in
sists it was taken from the Bible
and if SO, would you be good
enough to tell me in what part
of the Bible this story is to be
found? Thank you, ELSIE.
THE Birth of a Nation" as
remember it, was written by
Thomas Dixon about the recon-
struction days in the South,
after the Cival War. 1t deals
with the beginning of the Ku
Klux Klan, which has no Bibli-
cal origin or counterpart.
Some of the characters may
have quoted passages from
Scripture, but I do not recall
the quotations, if this was the
case.
