MANY COYOTES
HAVE RABIES
DANGER OF A SERIOUS EPIDEMIC
is SAID TO BE CONSIDERABLE
IN THIS STATE.
WILL ASK CONGRESS FOR HELP

Danger of a serious epidemic o
rabies among coyotes in Montana
which might result in the destruction
OF thousands of dollars worth of stock
and possibly human lives, is confront
ing the health officers and the live
stock sanitary board of Montana, with
the result that these officials are
planning to attend convention to be
held in Salt Lake City, Jan. II, where
the subject will be discussed.
DR.. w. J. Butler, state veterinary
surgeon, DR.. w. F. Cogswell, secre-
tary of the state board Of health, yes.
terday received letters from Governor
Spry of Utah, stating that he had vol
UNFAIRLY called a meeting of all health
officers and members of livestock
sanitary boards, of seveal western
states to be held in Salt Lake on the
above date.
No Cases Here.
While there has been no evidence
Of a similar epidemic in Montana, it
prevails in q half dozen surrounding
states, where, it Is said by the author
ties to be causing great destruction
Of livestock.
The states that have been at
rlicted with the epidemic are Wyo-
ming, Utah, Nevada, Colorado and
to some extent in Idaho. So far as is
known, and as a matter of fact there
no way OF knowing exactly, not a
single case OF rabies has been discov-
cred among the coyotes in Montana.
Coyotes Are Affected
According to information received
by DR.. Butler, there are thousands Of
coyotes in Nevada, Wyoming and Utah
afflicted with the disease. 1t is said
that when coyote gets rabies, he
goes mad in a very short time, and
does not confine his attacks upon
sheep or cattle or horses, but bites the
first specimen of animal life he meets,
even human being.
Dr. Butler says that undoubtedly
here have been many deaths among
livestock in these states from rabies,
out he says the epidemic may have
been greatly exaggerated. Rabies can
be treated in the human being with
he Pasteur treatment, and in Wash
ngton state there have been % such
cases treated in the last few months.
Taking Every Precaution.
The sanitary board is taking every
precaution to- prevent spread of
'abies in this state, said DR.. Butler
Yesterday. The state does not allow
logs to be shipped in without the
)wners first taking out permit from
+he office of the state veterinary sur
geon. But the danger will come in coy
)tes crossing the border of the state,
/. thing which cannot be guarded
against.
At the meeting in Salt Lake, where
the boards of health of the afflicted
states will hold meeting, a resolu-
ton will be passed. asking congress to
take steps to eradicate the coyotes
The danger to human beings is that
coyotes afflicted with the disease will
bite domestic dogs, thus transmitting
he malady to children and adults
alike.

Make Your Stuffed,
Germ Laden, Catarrhal
Head Clear as a Bell

When you wake in the morning
plagued with the tortures of head
colds and catarrh, head, nose and
threat stopped up, air passages
clogged with obnoxious catarrhal
discharges that have collected
during the night and you can
hardly breathe-just put a little
Hyomei Pocket Inhaler charged
with the pleasant healing oil of
Hyomel between your lips. Hold
1t there while dressing and
breathe the medicated, antiseptic,
germ killing air deep into your

cry breath you draw.
BY the time you are dressed
your head will be clear as a bell
you will breathe with ease and
comfort, eat your breakfast with
relish and go about your days
work with q clear brain and
steady eye.
This clean smelling, germ de-
stroying air of Hyomei pene-
trates deep down into every fold
and crevice of the membranous
Innings of your nose, throat and
lungs where no liquid spray could
possibly get and absolutely kills
and drives out OF your system ev-
cry germ 1t finds there, heals the
inflamed swollen tissues and aft
err the very first trial you notice
q wonderful improvement. A few
weeks use and every catarrhal
germ is killed and driven out OF
your system.
Druggists everywhere think so
we'll of Hyomei that they agree
TO give you a guarantee with ev-
cry complete inhaler set you pur-
chase that IL 1t does not satisfy

while for the worthy poor of the city.
The usual kettles have been placed
on the street corners to receive con-
tributions to supply dinners to the
worthy poor. AdJutant and Mrs. Ed
win J.. Perrett, who have charge Of
the work are making every effort to
SEQ that only the deserving poor are
helped. Families where the mother
is the main support and where there
are four or five and sometimes more
children will be given special atten-
ton. Invalids and shut-ins will be
looked UP and a basket will ind it's
way to their door. While Bridge
port offers plenty of work, yet on ac-
count OF the high cost of living and
the high rents, many families are in
great need.
Adjutant Perrett hopes to get funds
enough to send cut 125 baskets with
the following goods in each: One
chicken or other fowl, according to
the size Of the family and where the
family is extra large, q piece of an
other kind Of meat will be included
extra; one peck Of potatoes; one quart
onions. turnips, celery, one-half
pound butter, one-half pound sugtr,
cranberries. one-half pound coffee,
one can milk. one can soup, one glass
jelly, one loaf of bread, one pie and
one Christmas War Cry. Apart from
this four hundred poor Riddles" will
receive Christmas presents in the
form of new underwear, stockings,
caps, gloves and toys. Considering
the price Of goods at the present time
it will be impossible to get these bas-
kets out for less than $3.50 each and
the children's presents will cost at
least Is cents each. This will make
the total cost amount to $500 or $3.50.
Thus far the contributions on the
street have not come up to last years
total to date and it is hoped that the
public will come forward and help
the Salvation Army in this worthy
effort Donations will be greatfnlly
