a bone the dog had been allowed
to gnaw on. 1t is then taken from
the animal and suspended Is or

just one of the tests used, The
spectacles consist of two cross

DOGS RIGHTS ON ROADS
Has your dog a right on state
highways? According to an opin-
ion handed down by Judge Abram
Zoller of the Herkimer County
Court of New York he has. Judge
Zoller's ruling was the result OF
an appeal from a lower court to
dismiss an award of $40 that had
been given to the owner of a
rabbit hound which had be e n
struck and killed by an automo-
bile.
The dog, Judge Zoller held,
when on a public highway, lie.
gally and properly and not as a
trespasser," HAS rights as valu-
able as those of the driver of ar
automobile.
Another court case in Detroit,
Michigan, further strengthened a
dogs legal right to the use Of
highways. Traffic Judge j. Ma
ner ruled that a motorist who
kills a dog and drives away may
be prosecuted under the law
which prohibits leaving the scene
Of an accident. Not only did he
fine the motorist in this case but
he awarded the dogs owner $40.
Aside from the legal points in
volved, assisting a dog you have
run down Is the humane thing to
do. You should place the injured
animal in the care of a veterina-
rian as soon as possible.

lCUT ON DOGS TAIL
A problem often confronting a
dog owner is how to heal a cut
on the end of his pets tail. Many
dogs constantly knock their tails
against the floor or some other
obstruction until the end starts
to bleed. These sores are hard to
heal because when the cut is al
most well, the dog again strikes
it against something, and the
healing process must start all
over again.
In answer to the numerous re-
quests for advice on how to treat
such wounds. I offer the follow
Ing suggestion. First, battle the
wound with warm diluted iodine.
Then sprinkle a small amount of
c~rystallized alum, available at
your druggist, daily on the
wound. I have cured some very
stubborn cases by following this
Treatment.

SUGGESTIONS FOR CARE
OF PUPPY

On Christmas Day many a home
received a puppy as a gift. In
answer to numerous requests for
information regarding the care
of a new pet, here are a few sug-
gestions:
Never battle a pup until he is
at least four months old. Nor at
that age does your puppy require
a bath every few days, nor every
week. Unless unusual circum-
stances warrant it, a puppy should
not be bathed oftener than once
every six weeks or so, and great
care taken to avoid cold. Person
ally, l feel that a dog is better
off if he is not bathed - a good
brushing will suffice ordinarily.
Worms - Yes, almost every
puppy has worms but that does
MT mean you should worm him
continually. Less dogs are killed
by worms than by too frequent
doses of worm medicine - often
the wrong type and amount.
If your puppy has round worms
= they are the type most prevalent
in young dogs-don't feed him for
twelve hours prior to dosing. In
loss you have had experience with

dogs, I strongly recommend that
a veterinary examine your pet and
prescribe the proper type and
amount of medicine. I have my
own puppies examined for worms
about every six weeks during the
first year. If your new pup was
not wormed by his former own
er, have him examined by a vet

Pepper Says Truman
Should Run in 1948
With Friend Of Labor
BY the Assoeiotsd Press


Senator Pepper, Democrat, OF
Florida, predicting that President
Truman will hand-pick the Demo.
cratic vice presidential nominee
suggested today that he choose "a
champion of the working man."
The Florida Senator told a re.
porter, however, he doesn't believe
Henry A. Wallace and Mr.. Truman
could pull together as a team.
Therefore Senator Pepper said he is
not proposing Mr.. Wallace for the
No. 2 spot despite the former Vice
Presidents strong support of or
ganized labors viewpoint.
Il think Mr.. Wallace can render
his best service by continuing to be
a private citizen who speaks his
mind freely Senator Pepper said.
Reminded of 1914.
The Florida Senator said he has
no doubt that Mr.. Truman will Sc
lect the man who is to run with him
and that the convention will accept
his choice. That happened in 1914
when President Roosevelt cast Mr.
Wallace adrift and chose Mr.. Tru-
man, he contended.
L think the President ought to
pick somebody who subscribes as
completely as possible to the views
of Franklin D. Roosevelt" the Sen
ator said. He ought to be some
one who can command not only the
strong but the enthusiastic support
of organized labor and the working
people in general"
Mr.. Wallace, who was fired as Sec
retary of Commerce in a disagree
ment with the President over foreign
policies last September, has said he
is not interested in the vice presi-
Dental nomination. But there are
indications that the former cabinet
member expected Senator Pepper S
support in any fight Mr.. Wallace
might make against Mr.. Truman S
denomination.
Labor Act Seen as Top Issue.
Senator Pepper killed off any such
hope with his assertion after White
House visit yesterday that the Pres
ident should be and will be NOM
mated and should be and will be
elected"
Senator Peppers call for a vice
presidential nominee identified with
the organized labor camp indicated
that some Democrats hope to make
top campaign issue out of the Taft
Hartley Labor Act enacted over the
Presidents veto.
Southern Democrats who voted
for that bill, however, are likely to
fight strenuously against such q
course, just as they generally would
oppose the nomination of pro-
union candidate for second place on
the ticket.
II 1t comes around to a possible
split in the party, Senator Pepper
said the Democrats could do worse
than nominate some outstanding
military man." He mentioned Sec
retary of State Marshall. Gen. Eisen-
hover and Admiral Nimitz in that
latter category.
Time and Place Left Open.
Kansas Republicans have beer
claiming Gen. Eisenhower as one
of their own and there is pos
sibility that the COP convention
may have his name before it in
Philadelphia next June.
If that happens. the Democrats
meeting week or two later. may
not be too enthusiastic politically
about the general.
President Truman left the time
and place of his party,s convention
wide open at his news conference
Yesterday. He answered reports
that it would be held on the West
Coast in July with the statement
that the national committee must
decide such matters.

 OF DRAFT LAW

WASHINGTON - President Tru- man Monday recommended that congress let the draft law expire on March 31.
 In a message to the legislators, Mr Truman advised that the war and navy departments will request re-enactment of a selective service act later if they are unable to keep the army at a strength of 1,070, 900 men and the navy at it's auth orized strength of 571,O00. through voluntary enlistments.
 He requested that the services be authorized to hire-from funds already appropriated necas- sary civilian help to offset any shortage of enlisted men if strength falls below the required levels
 The White House dispatched the message to Capitol Hill as the Pres ident himself was flying to Mexico City for a three day good will visit.
