Must Eaforce Dog Laws, Many complaints of the killing of sheep and other domestic animals by dogs which run at large, have reached the Penveylvania Department of Agriculture and the Btate Game Com- mission. The non-enforcement of the killing of doge by some counties has also been brought to the attention of the State officiale, and the Attorney of Secretary of Agriculture Charles E. Patton and tothe subject, Deputy Attorney Genersl, Horace W. Davie, says : "This Department has, in the past several monthe, received frequent communicstions from yon in reference to the various General and Bpecial Act of Aseembly relating to the tax- ation of dogs and the proteciion of sheep and certain other domestic animale. From your communications, it appears that some counties claim to be governed by the Special statues, while others claim that the provisions of ‘he Genersl law are inconsistent, partly uncoostitutional, and ss a who'e uciptelligible, and that based upon such claime, the local officers are neglecling or refusing to collect the dog tsx or to inforce any of the pro- visions of the General Law, “You have also reported to us in- stances where, without giving any reasons, the local officers are doing nothing to destroy dogs upon whieh tax is not paid, ‘* As the only proper solution of this matter, this department has prepared 8 compilation and consolidation of the present General Acts relating to this subject, which will be furnished you for distribut on to those interested. In making this compilation, nomer- ous portions of the present law have been omitted as having been either directly or implied repealed or being invalid by reason of their unconstitu- tionality, or for other reasons, “The reealt has been the produe- tion of an intelligible system, the pro- visions of which are valld, subsisting and constitutional, “I have also to advise you that the law, as set forth, supersedes all HBpecial Acts claimed to be In force in any counties of the State,” A — ff ———— Extension of Raral Mal! servios, Under the present sdminlstration the rural mail services has been very much extended, serving fully two and one-balf million patrons more than before Burleson became postmaster geveral.

The bresd that is delivered to the corner grocer may pase through two or three sets of hands before it resches the children’s mouthe, If a servant were to etick a finger in a dieh tbat was being served you would vehemently protest but ten times the carelessness in the handling of your family’s bread supply is passed without thought, I’ you have any doubt as to the accurscy of the observations noted above, make some of your own and imagine the danger of the transmission of disease, No other food is more subject to coutamination from handling thao the “staf! of life.” B————— A —————— Three Days of Horse Racing, Harness racing will be resumed in Central Pennsylvania this month and will be continued until the Ilmst of Heptember, It indicates that there is # desire by horse lovers to erjoy thed “eport of kings’ end that the ante” mobile has yet supplanted the thorcughbred.
