Paul Bunyan Lore:
More Tall Tales
BY JACK RYAN

We got to talking about good
old Paul Bunyan the camp fire one
night and that mythical giant
must have chuckled to himself if
he overheard the feats credited to
him. Paul, every one must know,
iS~the major legendary figure in
American outdoor lore and was
quite boy in his day. There are
those who think he was a real
character. French Canadian who
was one of the immortal lumber
jacks.
Bunyan was said TO have been
as tall as the highest pines and
had an appetite that was as huge
as his frame. One of the tale
tellers said that Raul was known
to have eaten six impose at a set
ing and topped the whole meal off
with a Sollirrel

and moved up to cooperate with
Detroit with such successful re-
suits that there will be a one-day
show there February u, which
may attract 500 dogs in try out
for the big event here.
It is expected there will be more
eastern dogs at Convention Hall
than in the past and this combined
with the likelihood of 10 national
speciality shows as part of the
main event should mean 1000 or
more dogs again. giving Detroit
third place among the indoor
shows of the country. The Detroit
Kennel Club has engaged more
floor space to meet the situation
and again Is giving $4,000 in cash
with hundreds of special trophies

Lake Trout Eggs
Abundant in 1910

/, LANSING, Jan. An spite OF
a poor beginning after the Armis-
tice Day storm, the take of lake
trout eggs last season were just
about three million short of the
all-time high of 57.500,000 set in
1889. Commercial fishermen TAX
ing spawners after the reopening
of the season strip them and turn
the spawn over to the conserva-
ton departments fish division for
Matching and rearing. Thompson,
Oden, Harrietta and Harrisville
state hatcheries and the Duluth
hatchery of the Federal Fish and
Wildlife Service hatch the eggs.
Most of the young lake trout will
be planted back to Great Lakes
waters. except for small num-
Der which will be planted in the
few inland waters in which lake
trout are established.

Diet for dogs has much to do
with the condition of their teeth.
When the teeth are not doing sat
isfactorily, the diet should be cor
reeted so that il includes plenty
of meat of the type which must
be chewed. Tartar will not form
on the teeth when the diet is
correct.
Use OF powdered charcoal in
amounts of one-quarter>to one tea
spoonful in the evening meal of a
dog, if given three or four times a
week, will soon eliminate the tar

long way toward relieving poor
digestion. which plays a big part
in creating faulty condition Of
the teeth.
Congestion of the liver and the

softening of the gums of a dog.
Just as surely as will an accumu-
lation of tartar on the teeth. The
gums in congestion cases will be-
come swollen, tender and spongy.

dulged, and dogs which do not get
the proper amount or kind of

game, but the hunter in New York

Spend Millions

The fact that these millions Of

Quite the contrary. Commercial
fish sold in the market produce
huge profits to fishermen and can
neries, but sport fish produce no
profit save fun, and it is estimated
they cost the fisherman from one
to three dollars per pound when
his average expenditures are COM
