RABIES IN WASHINGTON.

The city of Washington is alarmed
over an apparent epidemic of rabies.
since January list fortythree persons
have b@en bitten in that CITY, and
eightysix positive cases of hydrophobia
have been recorded. SO serious is the
situation that report credits the Pres

woll-paid experts. and has long given
its attention to rabies. Eight years
ago, Chief D. L. Salmon issued re-
port which showed that the disease
was not only prevalent throughout the
United states, but was largely en- the
increase. The present chief, Dr.. A. D.
Melvin, is not at all satisfied with
the progress made in Graduating the
disease, and has just made 1t the sub
iect of a new report ! is the stray

all the trouble and furnishes stand

these dogs are said to stray into the
District from this state. Extra pound
service has been provided, and 1850
tramp CANNES have been destroyed
since January Both But DR.. Melvin
states emphatically that the killing of
stray dogs alone will never eliminate
the disease. There is only one solu-
tion," he says. THAT is to compel nuz-

The experience OF other countries
supports DR.. Melvin perfectly. We have
already referred in this place TO the
splendid results OF the muzzlng law
in Germany. In London the compul-
sorry use of the muzzlc CUT the number
Of rabies cases from 17G to A in a
single year. Two years later, in 1892,
the number had fallen to 8. Then an
agitation OF so-caled lovers OF dumb
animals set in the law lapsed, and the
disease quickly sprans up again.
Muzzling Is not agreeable to owners
OF dogs. and doubtless not to the dogs,
but as between this and tho death OF
human being in one of the most
horrible forms yet revealed, there can
hardly be a moments heslta ton

City Must Pass an Ordinance
According to Government
Rules to Protect People
Against Impure Milk.
PASTEURIZATION OF MILK.
DAIRYMEN WILL BE REQUIRED
TO SELL MILK WHICH is PUT
THROUGH THIS PROCESS, TO
MANY HOMES IN CITY.

City health officer. Dr. Charles Bond,
and the committee appointed by coun
Gil, to prepare milk inspection c: di
nance, are busily engaged in this
work. which will require much time
and attention. Dr. Bond stated today
that it would not be possible to present
Il milk inspection ordinance to council
next Monday night.
Dr. Bond and the council commit
tee plan to have the milk sold in Rich
mond inspected by federal govern
ment officials Negotiations with the
proper authorities in Washington. d.
G.. have been started to secure GOV
crnment inspection and DR.. Bond
states he is confident that the federal
authorities will assist the city in its
campaign for good health, providing
the city council passes an ordinance
which will come up to government re-
Qulrements.
DR. Bond has consulted with several
milk dealers in this county regarding
the proposed inspection and he says
that nearly all of them approve of the
plans he has outlined. TO guard
against undesirable darics. It. is prob
able that a unique feature will be in
corpotated in the milk inspection or.
dlnance. 1t is planned to place a tax
on all dairieS who sell milk in this
city. The tax would be high enough
to bar out all undesirable dairy estab-
lishments.
To protect bottle-fed babies in the
summer. it is proposed TO require all
milk dealers who sell milk to families
who have such infants. to pasteurize
the milk. The ordinance will also pro
vide that on the order OF any physician
milk dealers must supply pasteurized
milk to homes where there are sick
people or confirmed invalids.
