MAD DOGS APPEAR
EARLY THIS YEAR
State Health Department Urges
Killing Worthless Animals as
a War Measure and for
Protection.
tFrom a Staff corrsspondent3

Lincoln, March 24-(Special.) 1.-The
appearance of mad dogs in several
parts of the state before the usual
time has caused the state department.
OF health to issue a bulletin calling
attention to the condition. 1t offers
the following instructions and mfor-
nation regarding the disease;
|. The treatment is entirely of a
preventive nature. There is no hope
after the disease begins to maifest
itself.
2. The department is very crowded
with work, still each examination re.
quires the greater part of day, there.
fore we cannot make very many.
3. The people of the state are striv-
ing to conserve food and we cannot
see where anything is TO be gained by
feeding the enormous number oi
worthless dogs.
4. The cost of the preventive treat
ment is considerable.
S. This disease has been reported
around Lincoln and we have heard OF
several dogs having been killed in
Lincoln because of suspected rabies
1t has been reported that mad dog
outside of Omaha bit several animals
and caused other damage.
We would therefore ask the people
Of the state, particularly in cities
around which this disease has already
shown itself, that they destroy worth
less dogs.
