SYMPTOMS OF RABIES.
ligns by Which You May Know When
Dog Is Really Mad.


Hydrophobia is SO rare and terrifying
that its symptoms and treatment are
little understood. AS a matter of fact,
the commonly accepted expression Of
madness in Il dog is often misleading
The real mad dog does not shun wa
ter, as it is said. On the contrary,
mad dogs often rush to the water and
drink it eagerly, if they are able to
swallow. The mad dog does not froth
at the mouth. 1t does not run amuck,
swapping at everything In its path
What, then, are the indications of the
mad dog? To those familiar with a
given dog the surest symptom and the
one which should excite closest atten-
ton Is distinct and unaccountable
change In the dogs disposition, staid
dog becoming excitable and frisky
one dull. That condition does not nee
essarily mean rabies, but It is sus-
picious. and if in addition the dog has
trouble in swallowing, as though it
seemed to have bone in its throat,
beware! That dog should be instantly
tied up, because if it be rabies it takes
but a day or two for ferocious in
stincts to develop. The unmistakable
evidence. however, of dog with
rabies is the sticky, whftisb saliva
which covers the teeth and shows on
the drawn lips. The eyes glare and
are red; the dog has paroxysms Of run
ming fury, during which it banks
hoarsely, which alternate with periods
Of temporary exhaustion. - Caspar
Whitney in Outing.

 That to bring about these reforms, it is, in our opinion, absolutely essential that the status of the saloon shall be radically changed; therefore, be 1t further
 Model License Law.
 Resolved, That we urge upon the con sideration of the press and of the people of this country what has become known as 'fhe model license law which law provides:
 l. That all licenses now In existence shall renew themselves so long the bus iness of retailing liquors is permitted in a state or locality.
 ?. That no more licenses shall be issued until the proportion is not greater than one for each 800 population.
 3. That licenses shall not be so excess sive in price as to destroy the value of the retailers business.
 4 That all licenses shall be in the na- ture of contracts between the individual and the state, and shall provide that where the holder is convicted of the wilful violation of any law in connection with his business, that his license shall be sus- pended.
