Mad Doc SCares.

The dog" days will soon be
here and there will be the usual
freak stories going the rounds
about the cannes and hydropho-
bia. For the peace Of mind of a
large number of persons-who
have an exaggerated notion of the
danger of hydrophobia in hot
weather-it cannot be repeated too
often that dogs never 60 mad be-

of any kind. They often get out
of temper because the heat makes
them uncomfortable and generally
. out of sorts Just like human be-
ings. And then they may bite if
they are annoyed or imposed upon,
or possibly out of sheer ugliness.
But such bites do not cause
rabies in animals or hydropEobia
in human victims. That terrible
but fortunately extremely rare
disease comes from infection-nOt
from heat. 1t has nothing to do
with the weather. Neither is it
ever caused by lack of water or i'll
treatment, as many persons sup
pose. Such conditions lead to
other diseases in dogs-but not to
rabies.
Dogs do more biting in summer
than in winter, partly because the
weather affects their tempers anC
nerves but chiefly because they art

Homesteaders In the Cheyenne
reservation country are receiving a
letter from the land Office at Tim
Der Lake with reference to the new
three-year law. which informs them
that if the7 still want to prove up
under the old law they must notify
the land office within 30 days from
June 6, 1912. One Of the changes
IN the new three-year law that eff
fects the reservation country in
| some instances is that one must be a
full hedged American citizen before
he can prove up. The land office is
authority for the statement that it
is best for the homesteader in the
reservation country to fill out the
blank furnished and prove up under
the old law, as they all have to pay
for their land and practically all
will commute. Under the old law
the payments may be extended from
year to year at five per cent interest
by making application to the land
Office before due date. The old law
is the best for those in the reserva-
ton country and the blanks should
be filled out and sent in.-Eagle
