CLAIMS NO Merit
in MUzzLINC Dogs

Edward t. Ross, state sanitary in-
speetor, who has just returned from
the thick of the "rabies campaign
'front.' in Modoc and Lassen counties,
where the authorities representing
three states and the federal govern
ment are fighting the rabid coyote and
danger, declared today that muzzles
for dogs never should be permitted,
and that they do no good in fighting
rabies, says the Sacramento Bee.
The dogs of California have a
staunch friend in Ross, but he is not
of the sentimental kind who reels of
yards of "dog is mans best friendv
talk. He looks at the muzzling problem
from the standpoint of what expert
ence has taught him concerning what
il has accomplished in the fight against
rabies.
"T believe muzzles are useless,' said
Ross. ''They are false security which
we impose on dogs, the innocent vic
Tins, which do all the suffering.
Muzzles make the dogs now free
from rabies helpless to protect them
selves. When attacked by a rabid ami
NAL, the muzzled dog is an easy victim,
and either dies or is shot
"Muzzles don't protect dogs from
rabies, but they help in the spread of
the disease, and it is certain that they
do not protect humans, because a dog
with rabies is dangerous to the owner,
who might be bitten at any time when
removing the muzzle and not knowing
the animal was diseased.
Muzzles are useless in the noun
tains, and in the cities they should not
be necessary, because all dogs should
be kept off the streets. They should
be confined to yards and if allowed to
go out they should be in leash.
81 firmly believe muzzles do more
harm than good They do a great deal
of harm in the cattle districts, because
they ruin the best cattle dogs, and
make the animals easy prey to other
rabid animals.
So far as my experience has taught
me, believe muzzles are not only use-
less, but menace. They are a false
security'
Ross declared that the city of Sacra-
mento is freer from stray dogs than
any city of similar size he has ever
seen. Observations made by the depart
ment-the state board of health de-
partment-'men in Sacramento have dis
closed that it is rare occurrence TO
see stray dog, or unleashed dog. run
ming on the streets of the business Sec
tion, and even in the residence sections
dogs are not allowed to run loose.
In Sacramento. according to Ross.
the people have the right system-that
of confning the dogs to yards, or pens
of preventing dogs from becoming
nplsances, and this confinement and
strict restraint in the streets, win pre-
vent any danger from rabies epi-

BOARD Will MAKE
APPOINTMENTS

The county commissioners will meet
tomorrow in regular monthly session.
In addition to the regular routine,
there will be number of appoint
ments made for the coming year
For county physician, thus far there
have been three applications in writ

for two years previously, to the entire
satisfaction of the taxpayers, is a can
didate this year, as is also DR.. Pope.
Dr. +. d. Giroux, who has held the ap-
rointment several times, is also an as
pirant this year. DR.. Swezy, the pres
ent county physician, has made a good
record in the office, but is not eandi-

health officer will also be appointed,
u succeed DR.. Giroux, the present in
eumbent.
It is stated by those who profess to
be on the inside, that DIR. Giroux will
be appointed county physician and DR..

For superintendent Of the county

will ask for reappointment, and it is
said that he will be opposed by G. w

Uric Attemnts Suicide

Nimrod Uric, life termer at the
state penitentiary, made an unsuceess-
full attempt to end his existence at the
prison last evening by taking bichlo-
ride of mercury and a solution of hy-
drochloric acid, which he obtained
from the Photographic department at
the prison, where he has been assisting
for a couple of months past. After
taking the poison Uric repaired to his
quarters, where he was discovered by
Jim Morton, chauffeur to Warden
nickerson, who occupied the place with
hsm. Morton at once notified the of
fee and DR.. Maclean was sent for, and
he arrived in time to administer RENE
dies that saved Urie's life. His com
plete recovery is only matter of a
few days
Up to a couple of months ago and
for two years preceding that time Uric
Lad acted as chauffeur for Warden
Dickerson and had performed this ser
wee in a ereditable manner. A few
months ago he put in a petition for
parole before the board of pardons and
parole, but such cry of indignation
arose in the section in which he COM
mitted his crime and from which he
was sent to the prison, that the applf-
cation was withdrawn. The opposition
TO his parole was so strong that it
probably impressed Uric with the be-
lief that there was no hope for his ul-
innate release and this undoubtedly
brought on dependency that prompt
cd the attempt on his life.-Appeal.

BETTY NANSEN in
NIXON FEATURE film

Betty Nansen, conceded to be, since
Bernhardt's retirement, the greatest
exponent of tragic and heavy charac-
ter roles on the stage, is now in Amer
lea to pose for a series of William Fox
productions extraordinary.
Miss Nansen is the first great Euro
pean star to be brought to this country
by an American moving picture pro-
Queer to pose in a notable series of big
feature films, and will be seen at the
Nixon opera house next Thursday even
ing in "From the Valley of the Miss
ing" supported by an all star cast.
Throughout Denmark, Norway, Swe-
den, Germany and Russia, Miss NaDsen
is hailed as the greatest interpreter of
Ihsen and Shakespearian roles on the
boards.
The great Scandinavian dramatist,
inspired by her remarkable genius,
penned many of his most sharply etch-
ed parts especially for Miss Nansen.
In these roles requiring the acutest
delineation of feminine psychology the
Danish actress has achieved her great
est triumphs.

Another bill would enable the Cen

JUDGE c. J. McFADDEN
EXPERIENCES QUAKE

Judge C. J. McFadden, who arrived
home last week from Winnemueca,
where he held court for couple of
weeks, states that while he was there
the town was visited by two rather
severe earthquakes, but that the peo-
pie are becoming so accustomed to such
phenomena that but little attention
was paid to them. Winnemueea seems
to be the center of the portion of the
state which is most affected by rem
hlors, but to Offset this it is also the
center of many good things in the way
of mining and agricultural interests.
The judge says it is a dandy town
almost as good as Ely-and has a
splendid citizenship.-Ely Record.
