TRAINING
a, YOUR DOG
BY L J. 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.

Vermont has 10,042 mil*-* of hlgh
ways am] about 6.000 miles of
main arteries are surfaced; while
New Hampshire offers more than
2.000 miles of surfaced roads.
Massachusetts has surfaced ap

Tlnv llhoile Island has more than
1.000 miles of surfaced roads.
Motoring services in all of the

With regard to regulations gov

but motorists contemplating a trip
to the northeastern states should
fumililarlze themselves with Im

Maine, Vermont and Connecticut
hnve discarded maximum speed
limits and. fixed the rate of speed
as •'reasonable and proper.” Massa

Other Important regulations may
be summarized as follows;
Twenty miles an hour is the fixed

twenty-Hve miles.
While all six states require a

BV ALLARD SMITH
So many people are accepting
the preaent depremlon with an air
of helpleaa resignation that it is
rather startling to find that im
provement Is actually going on In
numbered SI against 70 for the
year previous, 174 felonious as
saults against 380, and drunken
driver arrests. 835 against 1,083.
Coincident with the announce
ment of the fiscal year’s crime re

Steckel declared the force was still
virtually the name slxe It was six
years ago. In spite of the city's
growth to 1.376,000 and the In

Active Policemen
Instead of keeping a large force

only a few policemen staitoned at
headquarters or at sub-stations.
Of the 2.379 policemen. 886 are

not i fow direction!!. 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

1930. But for the second quarter
