No Dog-Pound in Cleveland From Our Dumb Animals, October, 1910: Editor Our Dumb Animals: As you have had reports from other cities, I think you will be interested to know that in Cleveland, with consid- erably over $00,000 people, we have no dog-catchers, no pound where the un- licensed dogs are killed because license is not paid, and no dog-muzzling. We have a State law whereby dogs are taxed, one dollar for a male and two dollars for a female, but no dog is killed because the tax is not paid. This is right, because the dog is not to blame for his master’s negligence, or inability to pay the tax. We have fewer persons bitten by dogs in proportion to the population than Chicago, where 30,000 dogs are killed each year in the pound, and where dogs are muzzled the year round. We are grateful to our humane City Council which has also placed all fire and police horses, unfitted longer for active service, on the large 2,000-acre farm at Warrensville, in the suburbs, where the poor and unfortunate of the city are living. Such horses were sold formerly at auction, and usually had a hard life. The result of all this is, that small animals are quite generally welcomed in homes when lost in our large city. joe World's Best Bitters Tourists and travel- ers find it a protec- tion against disease and jially re- freshing when fae tigued.

LUYTIES BROTHERS U.S. Agents, New York, Only Electric Shaft Drive in Third Year of Actual Use The Waverley High Efficiency Shaft Drive is the only Shaft Drive on Elec- trics in the third year of actual test in the hands of owners. The shaft drive is the drive of the up-to-date electric. But it is of vital impor- tance that you have a proved shaft drive—not an experiment. No other test is as convincing as owners’ test—daily use in mud and snow drifts as well as on the oiled boulevard. Ask the Waverley owners. “NOW THAT’S THE WAY TO BUILD A CONTROLLER.” This was the com- Tie Sthkent ment of the veteran wizard of electrical science after carefully examining the Waver- ley Patented No-Arc Controller at the Au- tomobile Show in Mad- ison Square Garden, New York. Mr. Edison him- —Thomas A, Edison, self is an owner and constant user of a Wa- verley Electric | Car- riage at his beautiful a Llewellyn Park, The control is the soul of your safety in My an electric car. It Electric should be absolutely dependable. The Interlocking Device of the Silent Waverley makes it impossible to start the car on any speed except the low, or to reverse the car with the power on. No tampering with the handle while you are out of the car—no carelessness whatever can cause a sudden starting of the car. You can learn to operate a Waverley in five minutes, aad your little girl can run the car as well as you. There is a representative of the Silent Waverley near you. Let him tell you about the Waverley Silent Motor, built to stand the greatest overload—the Herringbone gears with an efficiency of 98y’5 per cent., against 65 to go per cent. in other electrics. Let him show you the beautiful Waverley bodies with patented drop sill, and unusua. window space. Try its easy-riding, full elliptic springs. The Silent Waverley is the only electric especially designed for solid or pneu- matic tires—Exide, National, Waverley or Edison batteries as desired. SEND FOR OUR HANDSOMELY ILLUSTRATED ART CATALOG.

Children are spared the cruel sights often witnessed when the law requires the lost and unowned to be gathered up and killed. For the sake of the dog, man’s de- voted friend and helper, I wish other cities would try our humane way. They would, probably, after they had per- sonally visited their pounds, because nobody wishes suffering and death if it can be avoided. Sincerely, Saran K. Botton.

Dear Sir:—In the leading editorial of August 11 you say, “As we sce it . . . considerably better is coun- ty option, and best of all is local op- tion, where each township decides whether or not it will permit liquor selling.” I don’t know much about it, but as I understand it, in the Western States (Continued on page 677) comicbooks.com
