Some Sane Advice to Persons Bitten

The health officer Of Louisville gives
bit of good counsel when he urges

real condition.
The counsel 10 good, because not one
dog In a thousand assumed to he mad
is really afiiicted with hydrophobia, or
rabies. and because the fear OF inocu.
lation from a rabid dog is responsible
for nervous conditions In human beings
that have resulted In more harm than
has been caused by any actual poison
from dog bites.
The truth is that most people who
make a business of handling dogs do
not believe In any such thing as hydro
phobia. and professional dog fanciefs
are practically unanimous In the BELIEF
that there Is no danger from any such
cause. Some scientists agree with
them on. this point. although the weight
of scientific opinion IL that there is
such a disease as rabies. But even
medical men who hold to this opinion

Several years ago the Daughters OF

but the necessary attendance at re-
unions of sponsors. These resolutions
were forwarded to the veterans. but
the matter never went any further.
1t is pointed out that the large at

brought about unnecessary expense

Near Little Falls.

LITTLE FALLS, N, Y, Jan. 25<-
The Twentieth Century Limited on
the New York Central jumped the
track at st. townsville shortly before
daylight today, instantly killing the
engineer and fireman. Every coach in
the train left the rails, but although
the train was going at a high rate Of
speed, the cars remained upright and
the passengers escaped with severe
shaking up and minor bruises.
The accident was due to the at
tempt Of the engineer to cross from
one track TO another without reducing
speed. The engine leaped from the
rails on the frogs, hurting Engineer
John Scanlon, of Syracuse, from the
cab and killing him instantly. Fire
man Myron Vaudeville, of Syracuse,
was buried under the engine, which
was overturned. Signals had been set
to have the train reduce speed on the
crossover, but according to state
ments OF passengers, the train was
going at high speed when the crash
came. Passenger traffic on the east
bound tracks was blocked by the
wreck and the Century. after being UNI
