that it's medical department is now
particularly good. To quote their own
quaint language: I'VE can take care
OF sick soldiers and wounded soldiers

would stir up the women and result in
serious political complications, the
City Commissioner have not dared to
carry out the rabies order which de-
clared that all cats and unmuzzled
dogs found on the streets were to be
killed.
There is an epidemic or rabies
among cats and dogs here, but the
City Commissioners are thinking that
the death OF family pets would have
no little influence on the way the wo-
men would use their votes next spring.
So far as muzzling the dogs goes. the
order is being strictly enforced. Po-
lice armed with shotguns are patroli-
Ing the residential districts. but only
three unowned ours have been shot
