"I'd hardly been relieved of her presence when an automobile agent descended on me. He poured the superior finish of his machine over me till I feel I could be warranted not to crack of peel off for ages." "What caused this avalanche?" asked Jo, wiping the tears of laughter from her eyes. "Have you this week's paper here?" Nell began looking over the papers on the library table. "No today's mail has not been brought up." "Well, that lawyer or someone in Kansas City put a paragraph in tho paper and the 'Home Clarion' copied it." "A paragraph. I don't understand."

You're Bitten by a Dog

Dogs days are getting: close. Reports of several cases of persons being bitten by dogs recently, led Dr, O. C. Newgent, city veterinarian, to give some advice Saturday for first aid treatment of dog bites. "Naturally,' said the doctor, "the best thing to do when bitten by a dog Is to hurry to a physician, but if one is not immediately available, then the first aid treatment should be reeorted to. "First open the wound, if necessary using a knife, and bathe It thoroughly with alcohol urtG a weak solution of carbolic acid or tincture of iodine. "Second, have the dog confined under the direction of some reputable veterinarian and watched carefully for ten days for any symptoms of rabies. "When a physician is handy the one who is bitten should immediately have him called and the wound thoroughly cauterized. "Don't get excited."
