WINNETK RULES OF "DOG DAYS" md J} Sg Ses August is nearly always spoken of as "dog days" but the name does not represent the fact from the dog's standpoint. Indeed, such treatment is accorded him that the hot weather often sees an end to his sojourn among us. During the very hot days we do everything to make ourselves comfortable. We change our diet, clothing and manner of living, and forget the dog. Sometimes his own efforts to obtain relief are thwartad 'by the children, who alone of all animals seem to be oblivious to the scorching weather and who seem rendered more active and full of mischief by the very oppression 'which wearies us all, Julia W. Wolfe writes in Our Dumb Animals . Per- vhaps a plea for consideration will not + fall upon barren ground. The first consideration should be 'that of questioning the dog's.thirst. In many cases he is parched with thirst while the drinking water is just beyond his nose tantalizing him to the point of madness. Provide for young dog's comfort as well as for yourself. Have a bowl of fresh wa- ter in an accessible place and keep it as cool as possible. Out of doors make some arrangement for a trough or waterpan, where the dog can find it, lest he may suffer the consequenc- es of drinking foul water, which is 'often disastrous. If you have been urged to keep a stick of sulphur in the water and cannot resist, be assur- ed that it is as harmless as the water itself, but has not cooling virtue. Sulphur may be used to advantage in cooling the dog in real hot weath- er, but it should not be used in stick form. Mix equal parts of powdered sulphur and magnesia thoroughly to- 'gether and put as much as will cover a ten cent piece in the evening meal. 'Continue this treatment for a week, stirring the medicine well into the food each night. This will be found to have a cooling effect and will help keep the animal in condition. If your «dog is a small one, smaller than a fox terrier, reduce this prescribed dose by half. The skin is the surest indica- tion, and if it feels burning the above treatment should be begun at once. Indigestible food, tainted water, too much green food, a dirty kennel, or a number of allied causes may re- sult in diarrhea. Prevention is the safest and best cure. Small doses of castor oil will give relief. If fleas or other parasites bother the dog, get rid of them as quickly as possible. Mix two drams of anise- seed oil with three ounces of ethar and spray into the dog's fur by means of an atomizer. Too much fondling or teasing will often bring on convulsions in a pup- py. Rest and quiet will do more to cure the dog of these than anything else. The dog's diet should be changed when the thermometer goes up. Don't 'keep on feeding fat and heating food if you wish to have him well. At some leading dog kennels rice is fed these animals during hot weather. Mix it with milk or buttermilk and be sure that it is well cooked. Cooked hominy and rolled oats are good. Everybody needs a vacation in the summer, you know, so be sure that the dog gets one this year. As it is better to have a cold dry "house for poultry than a warm damp one, some means of ventilation should be provided. There is no bet- ter way to ventilate than by open- ing doors and windows as much or "little as weather conditions require, 'but in all cases care should be taken to avoid any drafts. A cloth curtain .over an opening has proved a very successful method of ventilation. Saving is not a dull duty. It is a 'ticket to the land of prosperity. Buy War Savings Stamps. ' FRANKLIN RESILIENCY i HELD TO BE DUE TO SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION "One need only try to conceive of an automobile built without any springiness to appreciate to what extent this quality influences the usefulness and life of the car," de- clared C. E. Bridges of Bridges and Gage just before he left for a week's vacation. "Springiness, or resiliency," he con- tinued, "is the property of material to yield under strain and return to its original position. This principle, as applied to automobile construc- tion, cushion and absorbs the blows produced by road inequalities. "Most motorists, and in fact most designers, look for road shocks to be taken up entirely by tires and springs. While Franklin construc- tion involves this method to the full- est extent, yet its resiliency does not stop at this point. "In order to dissipate vibrations jand jolts more easily, the Franklin frame is made of wood, for its great- er flexibility and shock-absorbing qualities. Full-elliptic springs, front and rear, have greater shock-absorb- ing qualities than any other springs of equal length. WOMEN TAKE GOOD CARE OF BATTERY "Leave it to a woman to take good care of a car," says Carpenter, the Willard Service station dealer. "I found out a long time ago that when the woman of the family drives and takes a real interest in a car, it not only looks better, but runs better, too. "Take the battery, for example. Tt is as hard to make the average man remember to put in distilled water every two weeks as it would be to make him remember to water plants. But when a woman once understands that a battery needs water just as much as plants do, she's pretty sure to remember to put it in. A woman driver as a usual thing isn't satisfied unless her car works perfectly, and if her battery isn't up to the scratch, she wants to know why. As a general rule she does what every car owner ought to do and drives around to have us locate the trouble and put the battery in Al shape." COLUMBIA SIX SHOWS DRIVE-AWAY ECONOMY A. T. OConnor, secretarv treasurer of the Columbia company. manufacturers of the Co- lumbia Six, savs that their record of drive-away offers very convincing nroof of the tangible value which has been resulting from the tre- | mendous amount of good roads pro- | pacanda. "Before the war," said Mr. O'Con- inor, "a drive-away was a rare thing even to close-by points. "Along with other companies. we adopted this method of delivering cars as an expedient during the war- time freight congestion. "Instead of discontinuing, how- ever, when this congestion was re- lieved, we are now delivering prac- tically as many cars by the drive- away method as we did during the war. "Our shipping department records show that at present a little over 50 ver cent of all of our production is being driven away from the factory by dealers. "We have carefully charted the country and have proven that within a radius of from 400 to 600 miles it is much cheaper to ship cars by drive-aways than by freight. and The Balance Sheet On the debit side: Killed, 7,000,000.
