...Digestive Discomfort." Physicians of Baltimore's famed Johns Hopkins Hospital thumped and scrutinized the President-Elect, last week, paying particular attention to his stomach.

In Mexico the public had been led to suppose that something fairly serious is the matter with the stomach of the man they have elected President. But Dr. Charles R.

A nameless, snarling Montana coyote, exhibited by its owner, Fred Smidlap of Lakewood, N. J., was said to be "an unusually interesting pet." In a corner of his own slept a skunk. Because New York State law prohibits the exhibition of cats for more than two successive days, last event of the spectacle was a cat show. From far and near came black, red, cream, chinchilla, silver, smoke and brown toms and tabbies. Judges pulled fur, pried open eyes, thumped...
