ADVICE RELATIVE
TO THE RABIES

owing to the rapid spread Of rabies
In northern Nevada, the state board of
health advises the people of Humboldt
and Elko counties regarding the dis.
ease as follows:
1. Rabies or hydrophobia is al
acute infectious disease OF carniver-
Gus animals, which may be transmit
ted to all warm blooded animals. It's
prevalence Is unaffected by climate
or season. The saliva of a rabid ami.
NAL contains the infective material
and the fluid, gaining access to the
tissue Of an other animal through the
bite wound Of rabid animal, will
transmit the disease. The infective
material may enter the body through
apparently uninjured skin. Bites on
the hands or face are the most seri
Gus. owing to the richer cutaneous
nerve supply Of these parts, and ow.
Ing to the fact that they are seldom
protected by clothing, which serves to
wipe the infective saliva from the
teeth Of the biting animal. The in
cubation period of rabies averages
from six to eight weeks, but may be
several months. When the disease is
developed, cure Is not possible. The
Pasteur treatment is the only preven.
tive.
2. All dogs in those counties should
be EFFICIENTLY MUZZLED, and all
measures should be used to destroy
coyotes. Persons on the range should
not sleep on the ground, where they
may be attacked by rabid coyotes.
Cattle. and sheep outfits, prospectors
and others should sleep in covered
wagons. Persons should not go out
on the rang unarmed. All outfits and
prospectors and other persons should
carry small bottle OF fuming nitric
acid with them for the immediate
cauterization OF the bites Of rabid or
supposedly rabid animals. The nitric
acid should be applied to the wound
by means OF a small piece OF cotton
on a stick and should be thoroughly
hebOOu uSSp lhIO ln0 WOuHu.
8. Any departure from the normal
behavior OF dog should be looked
upon with suspicion. The common
idea that mad" dog froths at the
mouth and runs wildly about, is only
partially true. All rabid animals die
from the disease within ten days of
it's onset. II is best to keep dogs,
suspected Of being rabid, closely con.
fined for ten days. for IL killed too
early in the disease the laboratory
diagnosis from examination OF their
brains may be difficult or impossible,
and people bitten may be subject to
the Inconvenience OF taking the Pas.
teur Treatment on suspicion.
T. The brains OF animals which
have bitten people should be sent to

GGLCOHDA VS.. ELKO
TOMORROW AFTERNOON
(By the Sporting Editor)


The baseball fans of Elko who
ambled out to the local lot last Sun
day had much to be thankful for ,as
they were given a mighty good brand
OF that Old National Game. It Is a
certainty that as manly will amble to-
morrow when the strong Golconda
squad pays the local tossers a visit.
Golconda lost to Winnemucca by a
small score, and with two new play
ers should present a formidable front
against our Home Prides. They have
lost but one game this season and will
present to the local citizens, Wilson
and Huffaker as their tattery.
Dell Manning, who was injured in
the Winnemucca contest is rounding
into shape, and 1t is hardly expected
that his injured hand will give him
much trouble In the coming affray.
Manning has received three offers
from good clubs to hurl this year,
but the big southpaw will remain with
Elko throughout the year. Elko has a
golden opportunity to annex the title
this year with Manning on the mound,
and the locals are working hard for a
return game with Winnemucca soon
to seek revenge for the hard luck
game of last Sunday.
The absence OF Hicks at the short
field position necessitated a shift, and
Merlthew was brought In from the
outer works to handle the infeld Job.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS

through the medium of government
reclamation projects, the members OF
the house committee on appropriations
and the reclamation commission left
Reno at one o'clock this morning in

Truckee road. This morning at six
o'clock they were taken in automobile
through the Carson valley to inspect;
the proposed reservoir site and recIa
nation project by which it is planned
TO reclaim several thousand acres OF
arid land.
After touring the Upper Carson val
ley. the plans of the government repre-
sentatives was to go to Lahontan anG

The Russian Department OF Foreign
Affairs has published the following
telegram dispatched by Gar Nicholas
TO Kaiser Wilhelm on the 18th Of July,
1914. The German government dc
not print the communication in ITS
official White Book, the reason assigned
for its omission being that 1t was
deemed unimportant:
Thanks for your telegram, which Is
conciliatory end friendly, whereas the
official message presented today by
your ambassador here to my ministers

Unimportant or not, this last WORD
of the Gar to the Kaiser prior to the

there are German writer's who under

sponsibility for starting the war.
