NOTE INCREASE or RABIES
Reerudescence Of Dread Disease %
elared TO Be 4 Direct nesult
Of the War.

Among the plaques to follow the
great war. rabies must be reckoned
with. Already II has reappeared In
England. while from the very begin
ming an increase was apparent in
France. Before the struggle began
Belgium and the districts doomed to
be occupied In northern France
swarmed with dogs. and rabies was
sufficiently common. This abundance
was due In part to the extensive use of
the dog as draught animal In those
localities. After the invasion these
animals moved westward In large num-
bers. They appeared to breed as usual
and were under little or no police su-
pervlsion, although conditions for sup
pressing the danger were most favor
able. Rabies showed an increase from
the North sea to Switzerland, and was
carried far into the interior Of France.
Here police protection was as good an
absent. The type too Is vlrulent, ~
shown by the short incubation period.
Lenoir, who writes to the above effect
IN a health bulletin abstracted In the
Journal de Medicine et de Chlrurgie
Pratique, was the officer In charge OF
an .anti-rabies campaign, which sup
pressed the disease In South Africa
in 1902.

come city with an area of 226 square
miles-a startling contrast 10 Its pres.
ent area Of 80 square miles. The Tokyo
Asahi claims that the absorption Of
the score OF suburban cities, some Of
which the editor says possess larger
populations than other principal cities.
excepting Osaka, Yokohama, Kobe,
Kyoto and Nagoya, will make Tokyo
the largest city In the world. Suburban
Tokyo now includes the populous resi-
dental and industrial communities Of
Shlnagawa. Meguro, Shibuya, Har.
ajuku, Yodobashi. Nakano, Osakl, Su.
gamo and many others. These towns
are no longer suburbs but parts Of
Greater Tokyo. and the movement is
to bring them under one administra

CAN'T TELL AGE OF
RATHER BY ITS RATTLES

How old is a rattlesnake? IL has
always been source OF satisfaction
to believe that a rattlesnake's age
could be determined from It's rattla~
rhe very simplicity of the theory
recommended 1t. What could be
easier? A rattlesnake got a new
ring on its rattle every year Count
the rings and you have his age. Now
the scientists come along and explode
the theory.
They have kept rattlesnakes in
captivity under their normal native
conditions and studied them. Ray
mond Lee Ditmars. curator OF reptiles
in the New York Geological Park, de-
scribes the development of the rat
ties as follows:
when rattlesnake is born, 1t is
provided with a small button at the
tip of its tail. A few months after
birth 1t sheds its skin. In two
months more 1t sheds Its skin Sc
cond time,an in so doing uncovers
the first ring or segment. Under
normal conditions. rattlesnake
sheds its skin three times a year, but
unusual climatic or food conditions
may vary the number Of molts.
"The rattle is a rather delicate or
gan. The snake wears out the older
rings dragging them around over
rough, rocky ground A rattle sell
dom attains q length of more than
ten or eleven rings. as when that
number has been acquired the vibra-
tion at the tip, when the organ is
used, is so pronounced that addition

QUALIFICATIONS Of
VOTERS ON BONDS

| In order that no elector will be
caught unawares, 1t is we'll to re-
member that in the case of school
bond election. only those persons are
allowed to vote who have all the
qualifications required to vote at a
general election, but must in addi-
tion have paid school tax within
the year pext. preceding the cleo
ton.
The board will be required to GER
tify that they have not accepted the
vote Of any person who cannot quail
ify as aboye stated. This certificate
will be made under oath and men,
bers Of the board must exercise ey-
every precaution to see that the vote
is In accord with the above: Not
only will they challenge any voter
about whom they have doubts, but
their instructions are to refuse the
vote OF any not qualified to vote.
The recourse Of the voter refused
would be an action for damages, and
Of course, the bonds would be sub
ject to attack.
This construction OF the law cuts
down the available vote for bond
elections way below the number al
lowed to vote on other matters.
A woman may not vote unless pro-
perty is in her name and she has
paid the school tax. and the same
would be true II the property was In
the name OF the wife but the hus-
band had no property assessed In his
name; for then the wife could vote
but the husband could not.
We mention these things now, so
that electors will know In ample
time to look up their standing, and
II they are not qualified to vote on
the bond election because OF neglect
to pay their tax. they have an op-
portunity to get the matter fixed up
before the time Of the bond election.
An impression had obtained In
some quarters that II person was
liable for tax, he would be a quail
ified elector. even II the tax had not
been paid; but careful investigation
indicates that this Is not the case
and that the person must have paid
the tax.

PAT EARLY ALIAS

A simple arrest Of citizen would
not cause q great deal OF excitement
but the charge and the rumors at
tending the arrest we're exciting in
the extreme.
1t seems that Pat had been going
under an assumed name and his real
name Is Phineas Eastman, connected
with |. w. W. circles, close to Bill
Haywood and wanted In Kansas and
luinuois on various charges. some Of
them OF very serious nature, some
even going SO far as to intimate that
Pat was in some way connected with
bomb plots and that the prison doors
might open to receive him for the
rest Of his life
Now that Pat is arrested, II is re-
membered that he has made some
sudden exits and entrances into Ray
mer life. but this was thought little
Of at the time.
1t is with a great deal or regret
that Raymer people learned OF Pats
coming in conflict with legal author.

since coming to Raymer.
He gave the town an excellent eat

heart like an OK. Hungry men and
women could get the eats from Pat
without the price II they were lack

en- stray cats and dogs learned tnat

How man willing to work as
Pat worked in Raymer, showing the
instincts Of helpfulness that Pat
showed could ever advocate or up.

In the place were found stacks Of

have talked with Pat tell Of his hav-

many matters.

the time Of the Arrest, but rturned

Mrs. Eastman says that many Of
the stories are much magnified AMI
bear li.tlc resemblance to the facts
In the case. She says that Pat was
never an advocate Of violence to gain
the ends sought by the organizlti IN.
He was the secretary of the local
body where they lived that It ne

Mrs Eastman believes that 'I'at"

True Mrs Beson is intelligent, toe

she has not been Superintendent OF

reaching that ancient age.
We do not know much abou. the

since our friends experience is SC

WILLARD TO FIGHT

'Big Jess" Willard, the present
king of the heavyweight boxers, has
been persuaded to return to the
roped arena and defend his title.
Willard is to put ON bout next
July and he is to face an opponent
selected by promoter Tex Ricard.
While two opponents, Jack Demp-
sey and George Carpenter, have
been mentioned to battle Jess, the
former probably will be the one to
step into the arena next July and
face the present champion. Demp-
sey is easily the star performer Of
the present day and the only one
who measures up to an even break
with Willard. A guarantee of one
hundred thousand dollars is made
Willard win, lose or draw
