BROSEMER Director, Chappel Kennel Foundation A properly trained dog in a de light to himself and his master. He loves to do his master's bid ding, and were every dog well trained, there would he little com plaint about dogs and their deeds. But your dog cannot be trained properly unless he is in good health, and that tie cannot, be un less he has a properly balanced diet. Attention to the question of food will do much to eliminate ill ness, 80 per cent of which can he traced to Improper feeding. Keed your dog always at the same time and in one particular dish. If this is done, h" will not be inclined to touch food in strange places or beg food in the kitchen. He will know that the world of eating for him is limited to his own dish. The chief element of a dog s diet must be meat. »f vou feed your dog a prepared, well-balanc ed kennel ration with dog biscuits added twict a week for variety’s sake, he will need nothing else. He sure that the wording T. S. in spected and passed by /he depart ment of Agriculture* appears on the label of the cun; it is your pro tection that what has gone into that, can is as fresh and pure and clean as anything intended for your own use. Kindness kills most dogs; out of a good heart folks feed their dogs too much or feed them ilie? wrong kind of food. Table scraps do not provide the food substance your dog needs for health and happiness. Sweets and candy are as slow poison to a dog's stomac h i thf*y are apt to break off and the sharp ends pierce the intestines. Avoid starchy, sloppy foods, gristle and excessive fats. Serve him cereals now and then and fresh vegetables once in a while. (live the dog n hone to gnaw on occasionally if you want to make him happy. Ills Jaw puscle.s de mand the thrill of biting. Kennel biscuits will whiten hx teeth and bring forth the saliva that is very necessary for proper digestion. Puppies should not. have water at all times; thew are inclined to to bloat themselves with it and upset their stomachs. A grown dog uses more discretion. Water should be given after meals rather than 1 before. It. should be changed at least twice a day. Do not use a tin vessel nr the like for rust will form on it. If you love your dog, feed him well; if you want to get the most out. of him, train him to obey your i commands. . rivVXLTY OK SL'CVICSS Liverpool. -With success comes high blood pressure, and often death is the result.

For example, a fair number of corporation* have reported Increased earning* for the firm half of 1931, many more are continuing - to pay their dividend* and there Ih a steady decline In the number of business failures. This does not prove that the de pression Is over, but- that a grow ing number of firms are adapting themselves to adverse conditions Aggressive businesses are over hauling their operations and dls carding all that Is wasteful. Effi ciency nnd .old-fashioned , econo mies are coming to the rescue. To cite one case In point: Sales of a certain large merchandising house declined more -than 10 -per cent In the first half of 1931, but earnings gained 23 per cent. This result flowed from rigid economies affecting every department, con solidation of warehouses, closer check of Inventories and other measures. Of course, sll companies have not been able to accomplish such results. The majority are still find ing profits elusive, and dividend* difficult to maintnln. In the first half of 1931 combined earnings of 325 corporations dropped 45 per cent below the same period of 1930.

Another factor Indicative of some Improvement In underlying conditions Is found In the record of business failures for the first seven months of the year complied by R. Q. Dun & Company. Each month this year has shown an Im provement over the previous month In the number of commer cial failures. .
