He toyed with fate in the form of an automobile Friday. It seems to have been entirely his fault. But that ia aside from the main theme. The rat dog is not the least important of th Allies, declares Judge Allen.- He is, indeed, the "only practical weapon" in, the fight on the destroying rodenlt who is one of the iKaiser's chief tools in America. "The rat dog is the chicken raiser's best friend," Judge Allen asserts. . Take Yipperary, for instance. He worked from sunup un til sundown running down clues and rats. . Leave him in the house and he would explore every crack and crevice. The rat population was o creasing at a rapid rate in the neighborhood of Judge Allen's resi dence. The good little dog , was con stantly ; on the quadruped bodies' trail. For diversion, he chased au- toindbiles. Judge Allen would not for a moment blame the driver of the car that got Tipperary. He knew his failing. But people ought to be encouraged to keep the smart little punps there should be no tax on rat dogs, Judge Allen thinks. , TRY THIS ON YOUR-STOVE NEXT WHEATLESS MONDAY, Qatoieal muffins: 1 , 1-2 cups milk, 2 cups rotted oats, 1 egg, 2 table sipoons molasses,, J (tablespoon, melt ed fat, 1 cup flour, 4 teaspoons bak ing powder, 3-4 teaspoon salt.
