uYDRoPHoBIA.

In a single day recently ten persons
visited the Pasteur institute in Chi
cage to be treated for wounds inflicted
The physician in charge expressed the
belief that all of them had come in
time and that their lives would be
saved. But there is a chance that one
or all OF them may die OF the most re-
pulsive disease of which we have any
knowledge. And for months to come
they will hardly know a moments
waking peace. The dread of a horrible
death will be ever present with them.
And one day last week the press dis
patches announced the death of a
prominent merchant of Brooklyn as
the result of an attack of hydropho-
bia This man had a pet dog which
was bitten by an animal suffering
from rabies. The merchant bound up
the wounds of his dog, and during the
process the dog gratefully licked his
hand. It happened that there was a
slight wound on the hand. The result
was that the merchant was inoculated.
A few days later symptoms of hydro
phobia presented themselves. He hur-
ried to a Pasteur institute, but he was
too late.
Statistics recently prepared show
that cases Of hydrophobia are increas-
ing rapidly in number in the United
States And the experts say there is
not the slightest reason for this state
of affairs. They declare it is absolute
" criminal for any nation 10 permit
rabies to gain foothold. 1t is only
necessary TO muzzle all dogs for a
period of about three years in order TO
stamp the dread malady absolutely
out. In Holland there has not been
one case of hydrophobia since 1879.
Berlin has had none since 1888, and
none has developed in Great Britain
since 1899.
The reason Is that the dogs are muz-
zIed in these places. 1t is not possible
for them to inoculate each other with
hydrophobia and so TO spread the dis
ease TO the human race. But il is not
regarded as necessary TO keep dogs
muzzled all the time. Three years. as
has been stated. is a sufficiently long
period. That doesn't seem a very high
price 20 pay for SO great a victory.
The dog is a magnificent animal the
truest friend of man. He is entitled
TO the best we can give him. but he is
not entitled to spread death in one of
its most awful forms.
Deaths in the United States from
bvdrophobia run very close to 500
year. And thousands who are bitten
by mad dogs are saved by the Pasteur
treatment. The record Of the Chicago
institute showsyt that 3.0lO persons had
been treated there up to October of
1907. OF this number only about %
per cent we've attacked by hydropho-
bia. So the treatment may be pro-
nounced magnificent success. But
wouldn't it be far better to render the
treatment unnecessary here, as it has
been rendered unnecessary in Holland.

Glass From Cliff Rocks.
In the Allegheny mountains there are
cliffs composed of almost solid quartz
rock. These cliffs We're considered prac-

very cheaply-from quartz rock.
IL has been known for years that

Nearly ten years ago experiments
showed that railroad ties which were
almost indesructible could be manu-
featured from glass
Now that process has been discev-
cred for utilizing these cliffs. it is said
that glass manufacturers will be able
TO extend their field of operations.
There are even some enthusiasts who
predict that the time will come when

there can be no doubt but that great

+ WASHINGTON TAKES Up
4 BEET SuGAk QUESTION I
ttttt


ttttt - ttttt
The Daily Panhandle some days
ago gave out an article written in
this office by a member OF its edi-
torial staff giving this portion OF the
United states It's first information
regarding the colossal figures Clus-
terlng around the sugar industry and
sugar consumption in the republic.
The article was built from an inter-
view with Mr. j. II, llotchkiss, spo-
cial representative OF the Dyer COM
pany OF Cleveland Ohio, manuiac-
turcrs OF sugar beet plants, MI.
Hotchkiss came TO the Panhandle for
his company through efforts Of Col,
Groom, who went north 10 INTEREST,"
investors Of that region in the pos
sibillties Of the great Panhandle as
sugar beet country Mr. HotCh-
kiss and his company arc now max
Ing tests Of Panhandle beots and the
result will be announced at NOT a
very distant date.
Now the government has taken
up the interesting question OF sugar
and a dispatch from Washington will
he of interest and we give II in con
nection with Col. Groom's most able
and interesting letter, The Wash
ington dispatch Is as follows;
Washington, Dee. 22,-Cold fig
ures gathered by the bureau Of sta
tistics show that the average cltl-
zen consumes half his own weight in
sugar every year, and Uncle Sans
sugar bill averages $1,000, 900 day,
A statement issued by the bureau
reads more like popular fiction than
ordinary government reports,
The total consumption Of sugar in
the United States in 1907, which is
the latest year for which statistics
are available reached the almost un-
thinkable figure OF 7OS9,667975
pounds.
The statement shows that 21.3 per
cent, or in round numbers, ISL
100000 pounds of the sugar con-
sumption Of the country, was home
production; III per cent, or t,214,-
100000 pounds was brought from
our insular possessions andethe re-
naming 81, per cent, or 4,316,O00,-
600 pounds came from foreign coun-
tries Forty-three million pounds
was the aggregation of the exporta-
ton Of sugar from this country.
The United States sugar record
for 1907 was unique in that the
quantity of that product imported
from foreign countries was larger
than ever before; the quantity
brought from our island possessions
was larger than in any previous
year, the quantity exported was
larger than in any year OF the past
decade, and the per capita consump-
ton was the largest ever recorded, |
an average of S26 pounds for each
man, woman and child OF continental
United States.
An equally interesting feature OF
this record year OF 1907 was the fact
that the production Of beet sugar
for the first time far exceeded the
production of cane sugar, the pro-
duct of the year being, cane sugar
544,000,00O0 pounds, and beet SUI
gar 967OOO,OOO pounds.
The worlds production has prac-
tlcally doubled in the past twenty !

ly increasing the number of people
to consume sugar, these same people
are demanding more and still more.
The per capital consumption in
pounds, as shown in 1884, 81 lbs,
in 1894. 6664 lbs; in 1904 1920
lbs; in 1907, 1854 lbs, while the
per capita consumption Of all Eu-
rope is only 31,6l lbs.
The importance Of the beet sugar
industry TO the Panhandle can not be
estimated today, There are millions
of acres OF rich virgin soil adapted
TO the most successful production of
sugar beets, the fertility of which
can be kept up TO Its present state
by rotating with wheat and alfalfa.
Every farmer, every merchant every
banker and of course every land
owner should bend their united en-
ergles toward bringing these advant-
ages properly before the monied
men OF the country by encouraging
the growing OF beets in every section
of The Panhandle, following The
methods adopted by the beet sugar
factories in growing them, so as to
