HEALTH OFFICERS
IN CONFERENCE
Rabies frequently Contracted from
Wolf and Skunk Bites.
NECESSITY OF .MUzzLING DOGS
In Discussion Of LeproSy It Was
shown That Situation In Hawaii
Was lmproved-Thls County
Nearly Free.

Washington, June Sat the annual
conference Of state and territorial
health onlcers with the United States
public health and Marine hospital
service 1t was declared that rabies fire.
Quently is contracted from the bites
: of "skunks, wolves and other Wild
animals"
Assistant Surgeon General Kerr
presented large chart showing the
geographical distribution Of rabies In
each OF the states.
Doctors Godfrey Of Arizona, and
Brunby Of Texas said wolf bites ire
Quently convey the infection Of rabies
DR.. Kerr said public opinion was be-
coming rapidly educated to the neceS
sity Of mussling days as the only
certain way Of overcoming the dis
ease. The general conclusion Of the
conference was that 1t was quite a.
reasonable to require the muzEling Of
dogs az 1t was to prohibit the free
roaming Of cattle and horses in the
street. A motion by DR.. Bennett Of
Colorado providing for the appoint
ment by Surgeon General Wyman Of .
committee to consider the question OF
the prevention of rabies and report
to the next annual conference, was
adopted.
Introducing the suject Of leprosy
Surgeon General Wyman voiced the
widespread feeling that this disease
was one which concerned all the states
collectively. He pointed out that the
United States was the first govern
ment to make provision for thorough
investigation.
Assistant Surgeon General L. q
Golfer spoke Of the striking improve
ments accomplished in the leprosy sit
uation in Hawaii. not only for the
comfort Of lepers but for the care OF
their non-leprous children.
From reports made By the delegates
It appeared that the United States was
remarkably free from leprosy IS com
pared with many foreign countries
Twenty-four states and territories are
represented at the conference.
That other causes than that OF IN
fected water supply must be found TO
explain the continued prevalence OF
typhoid fever appeared to be the gen
eral sentiment Of the conference a.
the afternoon session. DR.. Lumsden
stated approximately 10 per cent Of
aIl cases Of the disease In Washington
during a period Of investigation Wers
believed to have been due to MIX.

is LACK OF FAITH
JEALOUS MAN UNcoMPLIME'
TARY TO LOVED ONE.
Perfect Faith Should Follow the
PIIChtIng Of TrOth-~What q
Worthy Of Jealousy 10 Not
Worthy Of Love-"

Among the dictionary definitions Of
jealousy is that Of envy. True, an
other 10 jealous watchfulnesS. but this
state of mind implies fear, the uneasl
ness Of uncertainty, and this 10 In.
compatible with the perfect love which
casteth out fear. As associated with
love the word implies q dread Of los
ing the thing desired, state Of mind
which to the timid perhaps is natural
and well nigh inevitable In the nrBt
stages Of courtship.
The man who IL seeking to win .
woman and who has rivals In the field
has a strain upon his nerves and emo
tons which upsets his normal balance.
He becomes worried, fanciful and
moody.
The woman who already is won, but
who must conceal her feelings until
the victor chooses to claim his con-
quest, scarcely can fail to be restless.
capricious and nervous. This mainly
is due to the restraint which she 10
putting upon herself and the haunting
fear that he may be In love with some
one else.
But when the lover has spoken and
each holds the plighted troth Of the
beloved, then Jealousy even In Its
most amiable form involves lack Of
faith In the truth and the sincerity Of
Of the beloved which is anything but
complimentary. declares a writer in
the Chicago Tribune.
Whatever its cause, Jealousy IL
bound to be disturbing element, and
the less INDUCED 1t is the better. Al
ways the expression Of 1t Is more
harmful than helpful. There is a great
deal of truth in the doctrine Of mental
suggestion as applied to love, and this
especially is the case with men.
The Jealous woman hates to hear
other women praised, and though she
possibly may remark upon their good
qualities herself, she objects when one
Of her own admirers, however family,
expresses admiration for another wom-
an. And when she praises It is with q
reservation. she Is pretty, but" etc.
No wise man would marry a jealous
woman, however much he might care
for her, could he realize how little

portion after marriage No wise WON.
an would marry a Jealous man, since
she certainly could not hope to be hap
py II she did.
Jealousy is responsible for more
broken engagements, more matrimo-
NAL unhappiness, than any other
cause, with the possible exception OF
beastly intemperance in drink. Yet
people who ought to know better 90
on excusing 1t, claiming that 1t Is

instead Of being, as in nearly all
cases II IL, the result Of colossal van
ity, a vanity which Il exasperated at
the thought Of precedence given to an
other.
The man or woman whose tempera'
ment will allow him or her to pass
through life superior to the pangs OF
jealousy has cause to be thankful. II
is wise to remember the saying Of the
Greek sage, that what 10 worthy Of
jealousy is not worthy Of love-"

land also which are now doing the

train a day or SO ago, sat man from
the Far East. There we're also three

The Fastener did not enter into
the general conversation, but content
ed himself by intently looking from
the car window. The towns In the

His face became animated as he saw

The readers of the Reflector may
be interested in the struggles ana
trials Of two pioneer women VINO
were known in northwest Dickin-
son.
MRS. "A. G. Brown had nice home
in Des Moines, Iowa which had been
left to her by her deceased husband.
A minister that she confided IN told
her that he had valuable piece OF
land in Kansas that he would swap
ID her for her property in Iowa. Sne
traded with him on his word OF honor
and bought an overland outfit consist
ing Of fairly good team, covered
wagon, ETC., and travelled all the way
to Abilene in company with her boy
camping on the way.
when thety arrived in Abilene she
discoyered that her land was on the
meridian line to the north west. She
continued her journey via where TAI
mage is now situated and on up the
creek side on past where Manchester
a now built till she reached a ridge
q hills that at that time was not
of any use to anyone and this is where
her land was situated that she had
traded her home for and had come
20 many miles with her little boy 70
have as a future home. Hard luck
indeed 4.
she found so acres on section :
that she h6mesteaded. she built q
small house thereon and got crotches
and poles and put up stable. she
broke some prairie and planted corn
on the new breaking and got a fairly
good crop. She got an assortment
Of groceries and patent medicines
which she sold to the herders, She
discovered. however. that on the
prairies 50 far away from town was
