KINDNESS TO ANIMALS
This is the time especially tor the
PEOPLE to talk it
PRESS to publish it
TEACHERS to teach it
MINISTERS to preach it
This column wishes to extend its
slncerest thanks and appreciation to
Mayor Keidel of Rockleigh borough,
who humanely ended the agony of a
dog we chanced to see by the road
side in that borough. Its shoulder
had been completely crushed by an
automobile, which had evidently driv
en on. Seeing some men on a lawn
near by, we inquired for the nearest
police station, explaining our object
in finding one. Dr. Reidel volunteer
ed to attend to the matter without de
lay, which he did, getting an ugly bite
in his right arm from the pain crazed
dog. The doctor did .not seem in the
least upset about the bite, but he
showed genuine concern about the un
fortunate collie and denounced em
phatically the autolst who would
leave a dog in such a plight. It is
gratifying to those fond of animals to
know so prominent a man is an active
humanitarian.
There has recently been coined a
word for a person indifferent to the
suffering of animals. It is “pitilacker"
and won the contest of the Pennsylva
nia S. P. C. A. for the finding of such
a word. Mrs. M. Mclvaine Bready of
Mickleton, N. J„ is the clever inventor
of it. “Pitilacker”—so much in one
•word—selfishness, suffering and on
indefinitely. It shows, too, an inter
est in and understanding of humane
work on the part of Mrs. Bready, and
we are glad she lives in New Jersey,
for our state Is unbelievably behind
in S. P. C. A. work and needs workers
of her type.
So far as we have been able to dis
cover, the one county that redeems
the state’s inactivity in humane work
is the Hudson County District S. P. C.
A. Their place Is a credit to a, Chris
tian community, and their activity ex
tends to every branch of the work.
One example is their NOTICE TO
THE PUBLIC: “When you see a hun
gry, stray or homeless dog or cat on
the street don’t kick or abuse it.
• Phone the S. P. C. A. to send a wagon
for it. When you get tired of your
dog or cat DON’T TURN IT LOOSE
UPON THE STREET. That- is un
lawfully cruel to the animal and a
nuisance to the public. Send for one
of the S. P. C. A. ambulances. We
afe open day and night, Sundays and
holidays included.” Think of that
for vigilance! Their literature is of
superior quality, and they are most
active in school work. Humane edu
cation In the schools is well on its
way to a definite arrival, and before
long It will have an established place
in the curriculum. Its importance is
being realised very generally by the
parents—attd a number of teachers.
The Hudson County S. P. C. A. book
mark is a novelty—a pretty shade of
yellow cardboard, on the top of which
is printed: “Treat animals as YOU
would wish to be treated if YOU were
one of them.” Then the picture of a
horse, a dog and a cat and a bit of
verSe entitled:
The Kindly Rule
My teacher says that animals
Deserve the best of fare;
Clean beds, fresh water, healthful
food,
And very loving oare.
And when their eyes look up to mine,
Such dear, appealing eyes:
I wonder how could one forget,
, Or treat them otherwise.
—Fairmont Snyder.
We wonder if the Audubon Society
cannot And a way to help the tea
room canaries, at present so much in
vogue. Without about every third
lady incessantly smoking in these
cosy, congested bits of misdirected
decorators’ art. these poor little
tilings do more than their bit in lend
ing "atmosphere.” They are made to
give up their lives in a long drawn
out suffocation from the ill odored
fumes that rise and stay near the
ceiling from which they are usually
suspended. In the Cottage Tea Room
the other day one lay dying in his
cage, another had his head tucked
under his wing for the entire forty
minutes we were there—a third sung
merrily, though spasmodically, near
the front of the room, where the
smoke was not so dense and where
his cage wus not suspended from-the
celling. Our slight remonstrance to
the cashier brought forth his vehem
ent assurances that the birds were
more than all right and had been for
two years. He did not specify if the
Hame birds had been all right for two
years.
The American Humane Education ;
Society, Boston, sends out a pamphlet j
for A Festival of Tender Mercies, and
one of the very beautiful things con
tained in it is this prayer:
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I cau ease one life the aching or
cool one pain.
Or help one fainting robin unto its
nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
Our Father, help us to be kind!
Help us to learn to put ourselves in
others' places;
Help us to do as we would be done by,
To carry the burden for tired ones,
To remember those that are in bonds
as bound with them,
To speak for those who cannot speak
for themselves,
And never to And in another's pain
our sport.
Help us to be like thine own-self,
Who art all loving kindness and ten
der mercies.

Yes, We Have No Ice!
Neither Has L. W. Magee
“Can you send me fifty pounds of ice
right away, Mr. Magee?” from a
feminine voice.
"What?” inquired the proprietor of
the gas station on Anderson avenue
and route No. 10 in Palisade.
The question was repeated and the
party explained she was told L. W.
Magee was in the ice business, apolo
gized and hung up.
It developed that this lady had been
told L. W. Magee was in business in
Palisada on Anderson avenue. “Yes,”
her in(nrmant had said, “he does a
nice business up there."
The lady understood “nice" as "ice"
so when the first spring day came she
was ready to give friend Magee her
business.

Uniform Heat Cuts Down
* Doctor Bills
TH^RE is a world of dif
ference between healthful
heat arid ordinary heat.
Ordinary heat, such as the
average coal furnace produces,
is intermittent. It varies from
hour to hour. Your home al
ways seems to be either too
hot or too cold— never just the
righc comfortable temperature.
Coughs, colds, sore throat and
even pneumonia are the result
of wide temperature variations.
Much <if the croup and bron
chitis of children is also due
* to these variations which are
inevitable when coal is used.
The Electrol avoids the dangers
which cause much winter sick
\ ness, because the Electrol
provides even, steady heat.
That is why Electrol owners
find that they seldom have sick
ness and doctor bills. Ia fact,
once you install an Electrol,
you can always be sure that
the health and comfort of all
the members of your family
will be assured whether you
are there or not.
With its automatic electric
ignition and 8-day thermostat
control, the Electrol Automatic,
Oil Burner will give you as
near a perfect heating system
as has yet been devised. Ic en
tirely operates itself, maintain
ing without a noticeable
variation theeven, comfortable
temperature which you want.

Triple Seals

WAR vai declared on engine
wear when Buick intro
duced the “Triple Sealed En
gine” in the Better Buick.
Buick first perfected the “Sealed
Chassis” which barricades each
operating part inside a tight-fit
ting iron or steel housing.
Now, the “Triple Sealed Engine"
(air cleaner, oil filter, gasoline
filter) has been added to the pro
tection for Buick performance.
Every possible avenue for the
entry of dirt and grit is guarded,
avoming looseness, vioracion,
and all the other ills that dirt and grit can cause.
Because of the “Sealed Chassis” alone, Buick is a
more dependable motor car. The additional pro
tection of the “Triple Seal” still further reduces
Better Buick upkeep costs.
The Better Buick offers the best in modern motor
car design at a very moderate price. Connie in and
see the “Sealed Chassis,” the “Triple Sealed En
gine” and the many other superior features of this
