HOW TO KNOW WHEN YOUR PET HAS The
RABIES
John p. Haines. Of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals, has an interesting
article about mad dogs in our Animal friehoS'
Among other things he says:
"First-It is supposed that mad dog dreaus

near enough he snaps. and resumes his solitary

"Third-If a dog barks yeps. whines or growls
