E2XLY ACTION IS NEEDED! Immunizing Treatment as Spccific[ as Any in Medical Practice. This was learned last night, when it was discovered that during the past week no less than twenty | complaints against sleep-disturb- | ing animals were flled at that preeinct. Throughout the year it is cus- tomary to have neighbors com- plain of nolsy canines, sometimes felines, and occasionaily crowing or cackiing fowl. But when the repoxts in a single week run above a dozen something is in the wind. Announcement _was made last night at the precinct that an in- vestigation was being set on foot by Capt. Lord to determine ex- actly what is causing the dogs to bark in his specfal precinct. No other precincts have listed serious D. J.

PRIVILEGES GRANTED FOR HOSPICE AID Next in importance of the new ar- rivals are four baby reindeer born this week to the herd imported from Norway last fall. These have much the appearance of white-tailed deer fawns. They are thriving exception- ally well and may appear for the Sun- day crowds. They are fed on reindeer moss shipped from Maine. The par- ents are being weaned from this moss to a diet of crushed oats and hay but an_occasional meal of the moss, Dr. Hollister says, served them both as medicine and candy. The horns of the old deer, which | were cut off when they were placed |in crates for shipment, are growing |again. By Christmas Dr. Hollister | expects them to have traditional rein- deer horns.
