Reply-Calomel is a poor choice as

The dog-days, from about now till

cause Sirius. the dog-star, is in ascend
ancy at this time of year-blinking

At this season of the year dogs are
popularity supposed to go mad, though
as a matter of fact dogs are not par
tial to the dog-days at all. For in
stance, there is as much rabies among
animals in November as there is in
August, notwithstanding the supersti-
ton.
What should you do to a dog that
has bitten somebody? Well, ii de-
ponds on who owns the dog and whom
the dog has bitten. If IT is your dog,
you know he is harmless-but the
bitee, if we may use the term, knows
he is mad So there you have SER
ious difference of opinion and a po-
liceman lowering around the corner.
Keep Cool and Save the Dog.
Really, there's no use in getting all
wrought up over a little dog-bite. Ger
tainly it is disagreeable to think what
the dog has been chewing just before
he sank his fangs in your system, but
after all you must remember that only
one in a thousand dog-bites results in
anything worse than a neighborhood
brawl, and only one in many thous-
ands results in ''hydrophobia."
No matter how vindictive you may
feel toward the dogs master, don't
kill the dog. If you do you'll remain
in doubt whether he (the dog) was
mad when he bit you. OF course, the
health department might come to your
aid and have the dogs head examined
for post-mortem signs OF rabies. But
the safest and most satisfactory thing
to do is, save the dog and watch his
actions for two weeks.
