PRECAUTIONS BEING TAKEN
AGAINST MAD DOG EPIDEMIC
Cv Physician Thomas and City Marshal Smith are Both
Active in Precautionary Measures That are Being
Taken to Prevent Further Trouble

Both City Physician Thomas and
City Marshal Smith were active yester-
day in doing all that can be done to
prevent any epidemic of hydrophobia
here as the result of possible infection
of several dogs here recently by their
having been bitten by dog that was
shown by expert examination to have
been afflicted with rabies.
Already Ginger" the fire depart
ment mascot has been sent to join his
fathers, while "Trix," who diligently
guards the doorway of the local tel9-
phone exchange is being kept up and
not allowed to run abroad until it is
known with more or less defniteness
whether he is afflicted with rabies.
If there is any knowledge of the
dogs that have been bitten information
concerning them will be gratefully re-
ceived by either the city physician or
the marshal, as each will be vigila 1t
in endeavoring to ascertain any possi-
BILE knowledge concerning the dogs
that have been bitten and in doing
everything possible to have them TAX
en- up until danger from disease has
passed.
1t is said that there need be little
fear of any possible mad dogs, if the
necessary vigilance is exercised with
regard to them. After it has become
s. well recognized fact that at least
two or three dogs must have been bit
ten by the mag dog recently, it is the
part of wisdom for any prudent and
discreet person to either keep up or
otherwise dispose of dog that shows
any sign of rabies.

IT PAYS TO
GET RID OF
CATTLE TICK
As FEDERAL BULLETIN SHOWS
Some Practical Statistics are.
Given

Washington, D. c., April THAT it
pays to get rid of the cattle tick is
shown by bulletin just issued by
the United States department of agri-
culture telling of the actual experience
of farmers in dealing with the tick
A circular was sent out from the
local headquarters of the bureau of
animal industry in Nashville, Tenn, to
large number of representative stock
men and farmers in the Southeastern
states asking for infirmation con-
cerning the results of the work. One
hundred replies were received. These
show that in the ten-year period from
1900 to 1909, inclusive, before system
attic efforts had been made to get rid
of the tici,. the average annual. losses
of cattle from tick fever amounted to
1873 per cent. in each county from
which losses were ,eported on a per-
centage basis, or an average of S95
head of cattle in each county from
which losses were reported in num-
bers. The average money loss is es-
timated at $5,SSO,OO0 year.
The reports show that since the in
auguration of tick eradication work
losses have been reduced to an aver
age of 1.3 per cent in counties re-
porting on a percentage basis, and an
average of 20.3 head in counties re-
porting by numbers. With but four
exceptions the replies received show
that the average weight of cattle has
materially increased since tick eradi-
cation work was started, the increases
being estimated at an average of %
per cent, or lis pounds. The reports
also show an Improvement in the
quality of cattle resulting from get
ting rid of the tick and an increase of
from Sc to 81 per cent. in the value
of steers.
In addition to asking for informa-
ton relative to the results of the
| work against the cattle tick the cir
cular sent out by the department con-
tanned an inquiry as to the Dement'S
derived from using manure from cat
tie as fertilizer. Six of the one hum
dred correspondents reported that they
did not use it on their land. More than
one-half of the others reported that
its use had increased the productive
ness of their land one hundred per
cent. or more and the others reported
benefits of a lesser degree,
The experts of the agricultural de-
partment have found that the bes
method of getting rid of the tick Is
by dipping all cattle in the territory
where the insect prevails. The meth
cd recommended has been embodied II

er single package to be carried and
should charge in proportion just what
it does now for one package of IL
pounds weight.
Every postmaster in the United
States will have a parcel post map
like the one which is here reproduced
except that the zone lines will be
shown with the unit Of his postoffice
as center. All that a postmaster
will have to do when a parcel is pre-
sented for transportation is to find
out in what zone the destination of
the package lies. His table will show
him instantly the rate per pound from
the unit in which his postoffice lies
to the zone of the packages destins-
tions, the price as has been explained
before, to every postoffice in any one
zone being the same. The parcel post
will take nothing but fourth-class mat
ter. Printed matter is still in the
third-class designation. Therefore
books cannot be sent by the parcel
post system. This the postoffice au-
| thorities seem to think is in a way
unjust and may work hardship. 1t
may be that in the future the law will
| be changed SO as to include all print
ed matter. 1t seems to be certain that
an attempt will be made to bring
about this change as speedily as pos
sible.
! Must Bea. Stamp.
I Postmaster General Hitchcock has
ordered that postmasters be advised
| that parcel post packages cannot be
accepted for mailing unless they bear
a distinctive parcel post stamp and
have attached to them the return card
of the sender. A series of distinctive
stamps is now in course of prepare.
ton for this class of mail as required
by the law creating the parcel post
system. Consignments of these
stamps will be ready for shipment to
all postofices in ample time for the
establishment of the new system On
New Years day.
The postofiee department has given
instruction to every postmaster in the
country to enlighten his patrons as
much as possible on the general sub
ject of the parcel post and especially
on the use of the special stamps and
the necessary attachment Of the re
turn card. The law requires that al
fourth-class matter mailed ster Jan
uary /, 1918, without parcel post
stamps attached shall be treated as
Held for postage" matter. Parcel
post packages will be mailable only
at postoffices, branch postofices, let
tered and local named stations, and
such numbered stations as may be
designated by the postmasters.
I 1t has been announced by Postmas
ter General Hitchcock that nearly TO-.
600 scales will be required for use in
the parcel post system which Is to &c
into effect January list. He has ac
cordingly authorized the issuance OF
bids for that number. Two hundred
Of the largest postoffices and their
branches will be supplied with auto
matte springless scales. The next
class Of offices, numbering about 10;
600, will be given high grade beam
scale, while the four class Offices
numbering about $4,000, will be fur
nished with the best spring balances
obtainable, each having q capacity fol
twenty pounds. These scales will be
used by postmasters to determine the
, amount of postage required on parce
post packages. The fact that many
Of the postoffices of the country are
