RABIES IN 1911.

In 1909 the Public Health and Mar
inc Hospital Service instituted an in
vestigation as to the frequeT cy of rab-
les in the United States during the
year 1908. All possible sources of in.
formation were utilized and complete
veriflcation of the cases was attempt
ed in every instance A comparison
with the figures obtained in 1911
would indicate that the infection is
on the increase. In 1911, cases were
reported from 1881 localities as
against 534 in 1908, while there were
only ninety-eight deaths in 1911, not
withstanding the largely increased
number of localities from which the
disease was reported, as compared
with Ill deaths in 1908. This is &C
counted for probably by the large in
crease in the number of institutions
in which the antirabic treatment could
be obtained and by the fact that the
victims availed themselves more
largely of this treatment In 1908 there
were twenty-three institutions in the
country where this treatment was adj
ministered; in 1911 there were at
least forty-two. In addition there are
a number Of laboratories which sup
ply material for NEGOTIATIONS to prac-
ticing physicians. The number of per
sons known to have taken treatment
In 1908 was about 1900, while n 1911
1t was 4,G25. The figures for 1911
show that the period of incubation in
nineteen out of sixty-five cases was
between twenty-one and thirty days,
this being the greatest number for
any given incubation period. Three
cases occurred over twelve months af-
/ ter the injury. The average incubation
period of all cases, excluding those
over one year, was 1925 days The
decrease in the number of deaths in
4 1911 as compared with 1908 amounted
to nearly IL per cent Striking facts
brought out n this report are the
wider distribution of the infection, its
spread on the Pacific coast, which sec
ton in 1908 seemed to be entirely
free from the disease, and the de
creased death rate owing to better ia
cilities for treatment and better dis
4 tribution of the antirabic virus Ac
cording to the Journal of the Ameri
can Medical Association, the situation
calls for still greater efforts TOWARD
4 the complete eradication of this pre-
\ ventable disease.

The CHIMNEY NOOK.

IA white haired mana chimney nook,
With failing sight. yet earnest look;
On snowy hair the light shines clear;
Into the eyes glance of fear;
a moment thus-then gone, and now
Sweet peace returns to lip and brow.
The freight shows face trans
formed;
In eyes grown dim new light burned.
"A lad again by the old hearth stone,
With years Of hardship backward
flown,
And mothers hand on tumbled hair,
Teaching the while life's lessons
there
'Not wealth for thee, dear son, pray,
But honest living day by day;
To walk the path that leads to light,
To face the wrong, to aid the right,
To raise the fallen when you can;
Thy duty do to God and man"
The years were gone-an old man he,
The vision held-the mists would flee,
And life beyond would the sequel be.
The shades Of evening fell apace,
The fire sank low in the chimney
place;
A passing CLEAN on the white face
lay,
And sight was clear at the close OF
day.
Now other eyes in the fire shall look
New visions see in the chimney nook

by the Houston Chamber of Commerce
and March 16 was the date set for its

The Moonshiner's Viewpoint.


All of us, of course, were greatly
shocked on yesterday when we read
that Virginia court had been wiped
out by mob. No one of us would
stand up in justification of such a
deed. And yet that deed has what the
French call a raison d'etre-a reason
for existence.
Does that shock some of you
brethren beloved?
Let us give you an incident in Texas
while E. j. Davis was governor.
At Huntsville four young men, be
longing to old and respected families
we're denied bail by the district judge
and they, although guarded by state
police, literally shot their way to lib
erty. Captain McAnally, than whom
Texas never had Drawer man, or
kindlier, for that matter was at the
head of the police squad and received
one of the flying bullets.
Every man, woman and child II
Huntsville sympathized with those
four young men and in some way as
sisted them in getting away. Had vol
lived there at that time, kind reader
you would likely have been one o
those sympathizers.
This Huntsville incident does no
parallel the Virginia circumstanc,
save in this one thing: the resort t
arms as against a court order. Blu
possibly the recital will enable us Il
understand somewhat more perfectl

lie viewpoint of the moonshiner.

the viewpoint of the moonshiner.
And what is that viewpoint?
The dispatch tells us that the pre-
siding Judge was shot dead on the
bench by kinsmen of Floyd Allen, who
had just been sentenced to prison for
moonshining.
Now these moonshiners reason, and
not without good grounds, either, that
they have a right to convert their corn
into whisky and to dispose of same as
they may elect.
Maybe you, brother beloved, don't
agree with them, but what answer
would you make were you pressed by
one of these moonshiners to tell him
why he hasn't the right to so convert
his corn?
You perceive that the reason for the
deed, deplorable though it be, rests in
the belief of these moonshiners that
the government is seeking to punish
them for the exercise of a natural
right.
Of course, in contest of this sort
the moonshiners are bound to be
worsted. But is it fair for the govern
ment to continue a tax that was purely
war measure?
Answer that, will you, brother be
loved?-Waco Times-Herald.
