FEAR OF RABIES CAUSES THREE
PARIS CITIZENS TO TAKE
PASTEUR TREATMENT

Paris, KY, April 11-Three promi-
nent citizens of Paris are undergoing
Pasteur treatment at the hands of To-
cal physicians as a precautionary
measure against rabies.
Several weeks ago Kenneth Alexan-
der, of Lexington presented Ben F.
Buckner, Manager of the E. F. Simms
estate of Athis County, a Belgian war
dog. A mad dog gained access to the
kennel and bit several of the pups and
their mother.
Unaware of the fact, that the pups
had been bitten, Buckner presented
one of them to Miss Elizabeth Steele,
Of Paris. A few days ago the animal
began to froth at the mouth and to
necessarily scratch its ear, which is
said to be an indication of rabies.
The pup was killed and its head
sent to the Pasteur Laboratory at
Bowling Green, with the result that
the animal was declared to be afflict-
ed with the rabies.

HINTS

In many cases mothers ignorant u
child hygiene, think even with very
young babies they should add some
other article of food TO the milk. This
Il q grave mistake. Up to eight months
OF age the healthy baby needs only one
addition to its diet other than milk
and that Is water.
After eight months simple articles
Of diet can be added such as cereals,
orange juice. etc.
At about one year Of age the aver
age child can gradually begin to take
several articles Of diet in addition -
milk. such as stale bread or crackers.
soft boiled egg. stewed prune Juice,
beef broth or soft custard.
Il Il best, however. to add to the
baby's diet only after consulting q
physician.
There are certain other things that
are very important 10 the baby. For
instance the baby needs fresh air night
and day just as much as it needs food
II should be bathed daily at a regu-
lar time. II should be trained 70
sleep al regular times day and night.
Train the baby TO regular hours for
everything-sleep. bath and bowels.
This can be done in practically all In
stances. Begin at birth and follow up
with good sense and loving firmness.
A few q many hours spent in train
ing the baby to regular habits in the
first months Of the baby's life are
most profitable investemnt for moth
