lied conditions, is far from being
complete food-in fact, it is far less
satisfactory than meat fed as part of
a well-balanced diet.
In his authoritative work, "Nutri-
ton of the Dog" Prof. McCay states
that a dog kept on modern dry
food receives the identical good nour-
ishment as dog in the wild state
who subsists on, let us say, rabbits
head, fur and all. The bonemeal in
the dog food provides the required
calcium and phosphorus. The meat
scraps, milk products or soybeanss in
the dog food furnish the protein
otherwise provided by the muscles
of the rabbit. The corn or wheat
products provide the carbohydrates
which the wild animal would have to
get from the plant products in the
stomach of the rabbit. And the cod
liver oil or concentrates mixed in
with the good dry food provide the
vitamins which the dog in the wild
state obtains from the rabbits liver.
The condition of Americas dogs
after three years of war amply sub
stimulates Prof. McCay's thesis, ac-
cording to the Center. When the
manufacture of canned dog foods was
discontinued in 1912, many dog own
ers approached the task of changing
their pets diet with trepidation and
fear. But they could have saved
themselves needless worry, as their
experience proved. The dogs not only
took readily to the dry foods but pro-
ceeded to thrive on them. Because of
their success with dry dog foods,
there is now big question whether
canned dog foods will ever again re-
gain the leadership they held before
the war. it Is stated,

Good Blanket

Durability of the nap is an impor-
tant quality that every good blanket
should possess. To determine this
quality when purchasing blankets,
the housewife should examine them
to see if the weave is firm enough
and the fiber long enough to be Sc
curely locked in the weave struc-
ture. A double weave has two sets
of filling and permits more mapping
without the danger of "over-nap-
ping" A blanket that has been over
mapped provides warmth at a sacri-
flee of strength. It is desirable to
choose a blanket 10 inches longer
and 10 inches wider than the mat
tress. Wartime restrictions now
limit blanket lengths to "a inches,
but this is usually adequate. Rayon
bindings ordinarily hold color better
in cleaning than do sateen.

TIMBER CAN BE GROWN

Although the United States is not
growing timber as fast as we are
using it, the Forest Service of tho
u. S. Department of Agriculture says
fatty: Timber can be grown"
with reasonably good manage
ment, our forest and farm woodlands
can be built up so they can produce
all of the wood that we are likely to
need for all time to come. 1t is NOT
necessary that we stop all cutting
either of old growth timber or second
growth to conserve our forests. How
ever, in meeting our present needs
we ought to apply cutting and man
agement practices that will assure
enough new growth to meet future
needs.
But we need to pay at least as
much attention to it's growth as VIC
Go now to harvesting it. Even il
III ompt measures are taken to grow
more timber, it will take so many
years for the new growt TO reach u.s.
able size that a timber shortage
meanwhile seems inevitable. There
won't be enough for our needs. But
there should be no need for us to
have to get along with less wood for.

steps now to produce plenty of it..

HONEST JOHN ON TRAIL
OF LOST SMOKES

Some several months ago,
Congressman Flanagan announc
ed that he was going to conduct
a one-man investigation to find
out what had become of the sup
ply of ready-made cigarettes.
However, the trail must be long
for not only are cigarettes still
missing, but the old reliable
Prince Albert and all other tin
ned tobaccos have gone to join
them in some shady traffic.
"Stoop'' cigarettes are still
available in small quantities. If
the merchant knows you and hap
pens to think reasonably well of
you. Between times, smokers are
using Country Gentleman" and
such like and making the rounds
each morning to see if something
better can be found.
So scarce has all boxed tobacco
become that an empty box will
cause comment and some specu-
lation. Jerry, the mail man who
carries the mountain mail on
horseback, found an empty
Prince Albert box back of the
post office, and examined it,
with the comment, "Now where
could that have come from? 1t
wernt here yesterday, and it still
smells right fresh"

A total of 958 persons took adj

Quoted by the Dickinson County
Tuberculosis Association at Clint
wood and Haysi on April Is and
II, respectively.
At Clintwood $50 persons were
x-rayed, and 405 at Haysi on the
following day. Approximately SO
adults were included in this mum
Der. The remainder of the group
was made up of school children
IS years of age and above and
those children under Is who
were decidedly underweight or
undernourished or known to have
had contact with tubercular per-
sons.
The entire cost of the clinic,
except to adults, was borne by
the local association according
to James M. Skeen, chairman.
The funds for the clinic were
made available by the splendid
response of citizens throughout
the county last year. during the
sale Of Christmas Seals. Sales
last year exceeded the previous
year more than three hundred
dollars.

Delegate To
Convention

D. F. Flanary, Of Norton, was
elected over Roland E. Chase of
Clintwood in Tuesdays election
to select member of the forth
coming Constitutional Conven-
ton for the district composed of
Dickinson and Wise.
An exceedingly light vote was
polled in this county, giving Mr..

majority of 49, A sizeable vote
was polled in Wise county, Civ
ing Flanary "a commanding ma
jority.
Apparently no effort was made
to get out the vote in Dickinson.
In several precincts in this coun-

persons other than the election
officers voted.
The coming convention is re-

for the men and women who are
in the armed forces to vote with
out the payment Of poll taxes or
having to register. It is now
