KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.
The law requires that kindness to!
animals be taught to pupils in the:
#chools. This is a wise provision of |
the law, not only for the sake of the
proper development of the boys and
girls themselves but also for the sake
of the animals. Some persons have
been known to dispute whether ani-
mals can feel, or are really injured by
&ruel treatment, and others treat their
@nimals in such a manner that it
. would appear as though they really be-
tieved that such creatures were devoid
of feeling.
Zoologist H. A. Surface of the De-
partment of Agriculture is responsi-
ble for saying all animals have nerves
and consequently are so organized
as to be capable of feeling or sensa-
tion, and that they can be abused in
such a way as to cause the most in-
¢ense pain and suffering. ‘While they
do not have the possibility of modifi-
ed facial expression nor of words to
express their feelings yet there can
be no doubt of the fact that they, suf-
fer from internal as well as from ex-
ternal afflictions.
Animals are subject to pain from
hunger, thirst, cold, overheating, in-
ternal diseases of many kinds such as
indigestion, fever, toothache, earache
headache and other pains that cause
mankind to hasten tc experts for re-
lief. The most of these are natural
ills, and this alone should be enough
£0 justify our treating them with kind
¢bnsideration and not adding to their
woes. The pesron who beats his horse
or kicks his dog is not only thought-
lessly cruel and destroys the finer
g&nsibility of his own nature but is in
many cases inflicting pain or suffer-
ng so severe that were the same ad-
ministered to the person responsible
for the blow, he would howl with
rage and no doubt attempt to relieve
nis feelings by a counter attack.
It should be remembered that there
are many forms of cruelty besides di
rectly beating the dumb animals with
which mankind comes in contact.
They may be underfed, when the
pangs of hunger or of partial starva-
tion become very severe; they may
be watered with ice water that chills
the system and checks digestion.

A THOUSAND INJURED EACH DAY
Reports of 1,190 injured were re-
ceived at the state department of la-
r apd industry in Harrisburg in one
day last week. Of this number, seven
died. Commissioner John Price Jack-
son. announced that every day this
yaar an average of 1,000 injuries has
peen reported at the department.
on “Timely Hints to Safeguard Ma-
chinists from Injury.”
| “Keep all safeguards on gears, belts
'and other moving parts of machinery”
| warns the commissioner. “See that
i others do the sam. You may in this
| way prevent an accident to yourself
or your fellow employe.
“Cleaning, oiling, repairing and ad-
justing of machinery should not be
done while machinery is in motion.
Do not allow projecting set screws,
keys, bolts or other projecting parts
lon moving machinery. The use of de-
fective hoisting apparatus endangers
| your safety. Hoisted loads should be
| securely blocked before work on
them is started.
“Loose clothing has very frequently
‘peen the cause of many employes
getting caught in moving machinery.
Keep, jackets, sleeves, etc. buttoned
or properly fastened. Torn or ragged
clothing is a menace to your safety.
“Tools or materials should not be
allowed on the floor or passageways.
Tripping over such objects, especial-
ly when the hands are full, has re-
sulted in. many accidents, some of a
very serious nature.
‘Compressed air apparatus is use-
ful but dangerous. Never point it to-
wards or touch a fellow employe with
it. Three deaths resulted last year in
the state from ‘fooling’ with air hose.
«Defective wrenches are a constant
source of danger and have caused se-
rious injury to many machinists. Do
not use them until repaired.”
