DOGS MUST BE CHAINED
Cases of Rabies Reported in Cornwall
 and LitchfieId.

Fl. O. Averill, of Washington, Conn.,. formerly cattle commissioner was in town lest week and consulted with the dog warden ip regard to enforcing the law requiring that all dogs be kept on leash. MT. Averill is making tour of the county and is visiting selectmen and other town officials, urging them to enforce the law.
 It is understood that all rules made heretofore were made by the Commis- sioner of Domestic Animals and many people have questioned the right of this comm ssion to make any such rules. Steps of this kind have been absolutely necessary and the commits sion IS acting within its authority in making rules and regulations to ssfs- guard the public. Mir. Averill stated that unless the people willingly com piled with these rules, the next general assembly would undoubtedly pass A law that would make It decidedly n n- comfortable for those who did not ob ey it.
 There has been much publicity givea as to why dogs should be kept on a leash and the majority of dog owners have readily complied with the order. but the few who have not talk en heed are the ones that are endaugering tho i lives of men, women and children who are on the streets There are many in- stances in this town where dogs are les ruu as they will, especially st night If one of these dogs should contract . case of rabies, 1t Is easily understood how many other dogs which arc chained up out doors might contrses this deadly disease.
 Tor the personal safety of every iD- dividual, owners of dogs should seq that they are kept tied and watch them closely so as to observe sny suspicious or unnatural actions which might indi- cate that the dog had some disease

STATE IS MELLOW"
 SAYS THE GOVERNOR
'God Knows There's Enough Yellow To Be Squeezed Out," Holconb
 Tells Militia.

New Haven, Aug. 8.-The chief fea- ture of the day at Camp Yale yester- day was the surprise visit which was paid by Gov. Holcomb and -Adjutant- General George M. Cole. The gov- ernor was the guest of Colonel Good man of the First Regiment and he and the adjutant-general looked over the men at their routine work and were highly pleased with what they saw. No preparations had been made for their visit as 1t was complete surprise to officers and men, so the of hclals saw the camp as it is in every- day attire.
 Gov Holcomb made some interest ing and one rather startling remark in addressing the officers school. He reminded the men of the fine record which the troops from this state made at the Mexican border last summer and said that there was something infinitely more serious ahead of them at the present time. He added that he presumed every man of them was ready and expecting to go across the ocean to fight Germany. He said:
 Your reputation in the past IS a glorious one. May your record for the future be equally splendid for you to transmit to your sons
 "One of your chief jobs is to squeeze some of the yellow out of the state of Connecticut, and God knows there's enough yellow to be squeezed out"

Fifth Annual Reunion of Wilcox Fam '

The following letter asking that the town authorities co-operate with the bureau of military census at Hartford in Keeping the list of doctors in the state recently compiled up to date, was received this morning by Town Clerk Francis H. Shaw: Dear Sir:
 'The Connecticut military census bureau has just completed an ex- haustive list of the medical men of the state, which it hoped to be able to use both in the present crisis and in any future emergency that may como l up. It has been compiled with a great deal of care and some expense, and | it is considered the most thorough any state ever had.
 We are now asking that you CO., operate with the bureau in keeping this list at all times up to date; of those physicians who come to you to register their licenses in your town: | the names and destinations of those whS you know are moving from your town; and the names and addresses of those physicians who have died, with the date of their death.
 ''This timely assistance will mean much to the bureau and the state of
 
 accurate records in these days Of emergencies We, in oar turn, will be very glad to send you whatever in form ation we may have availab ble con- cerning any name in our files that you are interested in.
 "We are relying upon your co-op- eration in this our endeavor to keep YConnecticut at the head of the list for efficiency thOrOughness and preparedness.
 Yours very truly.

 This is something new and the first year that the town clerk has received such a request and he will send the names in immediately. The four prac- ticAeg physicians in the town are Doc tors .Griswold, Cunning, Hodgson and wood.
 Any amount of speculation could be wasted over this list. The real pur- pose of it's compilation is probably for conscription purposes. It is a known fact that Hartford county is short it's allotment of medical men. The last report stated that 20 more factors were needed. If the war keeps lp an indefinite number will be called Physicians within the ages of 21 and b ynAy be called to the colors.
