CITY PASSED GOOD DOG LAW
DOGS WOULD DIE

You may think that your dog
spends much of his time sleeping,
but did you know that your pet
would die if he were deprived Of
any sleep for a period of approx.
mately six days? Our canine
friends can 60 for weeks, even
months, without food, but they
must have a sufficient amount of
sleep in order to live.

HINTS ON EEDING DOGS

Here are a few good rules which
should be remembered in feeding
all puppies:
l Feed often and little. About
TOUR times a day. Never feed
enough to distend the stomach.
q. Feed regularly at approx
mately the same times each day
and from clean pans or dishes.
5. Keep fresh water available
1or puppies and see that it is fire.
quently renewed. Don't allow a
pup to gorge himself with water.
4, For the proper development
OF a pups Jaw give him a good
hard knucklS bone to chew and
knaw On at least once a week. II
Will also provide him with a little
excitement.
o. DO not give the dog tidbits
OF food between his regular meal
hours.
=. If you are feeding more than
puppy, feed them separately

VEGETABLE TO FEED DOG

Meat has always been the basis
of a dogs diet but vegetables
have been found to be beneficial
and they have a definite place or
the canine menu. What is con.
sidered the best vegetable to feee
a dog? l suggest cabbage because
it contains a large number of vita
Minis. S e tomatoes ane
canred spinach are also recon-
mended because they contain iror
and Iodine as well as many of
the vitamins. Raw tomatoes ir
season, providing they are fully
ripened, are healthful.
Vegetables should be mixed ir
with meat and dry dog meal
used by many as a filler). Cab
bage can be fed either raw or
cooked, but in both instances il
should be chopped or cut into
small shreds. Carrots are hard fol
a dog to digest and, unless they
are well overlooked, should not
find their way into your dogs
food. Fruits, especially orange
juice, are also a recomm ended
diet addition.

effect on a dogs health. They ex-

serious trouble.
Fleas carry bacterial diseases.
Certain types of worm intestations

"It only proves my argument"
said one irate young man recently.
You women claim you dress for
men-but you know doggone well
you don't. Those longer hemlines
for example. I don't like them and
you'll find very few men who do!
"I was reading the other day in the
newspaper where some guy said that
all the hullabaloo about getting
those precious nylons was overland
now the dresses were way over the
nylons. Is it fair?"
With that much rise out of one
young man we decided to ask few
more gentlemen about their opinions
on the descending hemlines.

Here Is Just the article for apart
ment dwellers! A room cooler that
fits snugly in your bedroom window
and blows in the cool night air.
After the sun sets and the air Is de-
grees cooler outside, place the unit
in your window with the motor fan
to the left side and then extend the
unit as far as the window width VIII
allow. The wood ends should be In
the groove directly under the raised
sash. To obtain all the benefit pos.
sible from this unit, close window on
top, also close all other windows,
doors and transoms in the room.
Fasten the draperies and curtains
back so that the flow of air from the
fan will not be impeded. Plug in
the unit and allow the fan to run
until the air has been changed in
theroom. This takes about 80 min
utes to hour to freshen the air in
an average-siZe bedroom. The COOL
er changes the air by pressure, the
hot air moving out around the door,
under the door and through the
openings between the window sash.
Without this slight pressure, the air
is only stirred up as with an electric
fan. When the room has cooled
sufficiently you can raise the win
COWS and open the doors, but shut
off the unit and remove 1t from the
window, for continuing operation
will not give further cooling effect
to the room under this condition.
It's worth the cost for good nights

weather is unbearable. This unit.
however, only works on alternating

A package of pine air freshener
with its atomizer made of the new

gift for your weekend hostess. The
freshener with its woodsy scent dis
pels cooking odors which may have
penetrated other rooms from the
culinary department and cleans
dead air laden with the heavy scent
of cigar and cigarette smells from

freshener does not mask one odor

the woman. If it looks smart on
her who cares If she wears shorts?''
In most cases the gentlemen are
greatly saddened by the passing OF
the knees. They claim some were
rather cute.
Here's what the women have to
say: "Oh, go on. Long skirts for
summer? I won't wear 'ep! They
are too darn warm. Another lovely

that she simply wouldn't wear them

Another vitriolic gent had this to

Many people advance the argu-
ment that by buying these new
tangled fashions you make the
other items in your wardrobe look
out of date. And still others go on
to tell you that it's nothing more
than trick on the part of those
dress manufacturers to make you
buy all new clothes.
However true this may be the fact
remains that nearly every street
scene is graced with lowered hem
lines. Some lowered at home and
others bought that way. The trend
has caught on In spite of the bick-
ering.

Look out your window, Mrs. Jones
Standing outside your door is a 1948
automobile. 1t can take you to
California or Kalamazoo. Life looks
different from the window of an
automobile.
But it's just an attractive orna-
ment. Because you don't know how
to use 1t, and the odds are in favor
of a good percentage of your neigh
bors not knowing how to use it,
either.
Americans CAN drive automobiles,
Of course, so this is simply q fantasy.
But in the 1930s a group of people
who later formed the Public Affairs
Committee found another kind of
automobile. This one was built of
ideas and information that could
take John Doe to adventure and to
better living. But this automobile
was really driverless. The informa-
ton had been made available
through years of research. But it
wasn't reaching the public.
When the Public Affairs Commit
tee was formed in 1885, the depres-
sion and the weather had one thing
in common-everybody talked about
them. Technical journals carried
information on economics and on
many other subjects, but John Doe
didn't speak the language of the
technician. He was often victimiZed
by misinformation or lack of in
formation. Translating technical
language into the tongue of the
average citizen became the commit
tees business; they presented the
story through series of pamphlets
as interesting as your favorite COL
umnist.

war years when the promise of a

ELECTRIC MIXER.

From Mrs. w. L. r., Arlingto7t.)
In answer to the query about the
small. portable electric beater, I
would advise the lady to wait until
she can purchase the full size cleo
trio mixer with bowls, etc. I was
given one of the small ones and
was very pleased, because, according
to the book of instructions, it could
do everything. However, found it
to be of small value, except for whip
ping cream or putting the finishing
touches on mashed potatoes. The
time l spent trying to use 1t success
fully was endless. I could not beat
cake batter, nor make froSting the
right consistency, I firmly believe
that the beater is not heavy enough.
