BY CHARLOTTE c. WEST, NJ. D.
HYDROPHOBIA

Hydruphobia (rabics) is an acute n
fictitious disease Of some animals and is
communicable to man. Dogs are pop
ularly supposed IL be the only animals
that convey hydrophobia. but II also oc-
ours in cats. goats. sheep, wolves. rs
we'll as other warm-bloodcd animals
which are therefor equally dangerous
while rahid. Tho nature OF the poison
IS unknown. but It rrSidcSain the saliva.
Not every bite Of an animal suffering
from rabies produces the disease, 1t IS
only when the wound inflicted is at
tho Same time, inoculatcd with rdosd
saliva that infection takes place.
Consequently clothing IS II great pro-
lection. as IN case Of being bitten IL ab-
serbs the moisture and the animal :
teeth are dry and clean when they sink
into the flesh. Naturally the most dan
Gerous bites are received upon the face.

Infection may also occur through 4

the bite of a dog or cat may b" en-
trcly harmless IT is a wise prcCaution

possible source Of contamination re-
mains
In doubtful cases Il is better 70 apply
tourniQuet before sucking tho wound
(if II is on limb) in order to prevent
the poison from entering tn" circala-
ton; after free suction OF the wounl.
apply tincturc Of iodine literally, cN-

Some authorities advise cauteri2ing tho
wound with phcnol. or with bundle of
burning matches. Apply phcnol with n

The patient should then be quickly
taken to PaSteur institute for the pre-

An Inside Bath
Makes You Look
and Feel Fresh
Says a glass CT hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps illness away.

Physicians the worIu over recon.
mend the inside bath claiming this is
of vastly more Importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood. causing i'll health, while the
poresin the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver. kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and toxins;
thus cleansing, sweetening and puri-
flying the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Those who wake up with bad
breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or
have dull, aching head, sallow COM
pleXion, acid stomach; others who are
subject to bilious attacks or constipa-
ton, should obtain a quarter pound
of limestone phosphate at the drug
store. This will cost very little but
is sufficient to demonstrate the value
of inside bathing.

Business Burleson's Concern.
Mr.. Burleson favored a longer
period of government control than
next December 81, date suggested
while he was before the committee
He said the danger" would be that
congress would have been in session
but month and declared that he re
garded the question as one of the
greatest importance because manu-
facturers and others must have
proper service" in order to develop
their business. The postmaster gem
eral declared that If he wished to
insure government ownership he
would turn back the systems at once,
but added that he thought the in
terest of the business men should be
looked after"
While Mr.. Burleson was on the
stand Representative Madden read
into the record a letter from George
G. Ward, vice president of the Com
mercial Gable company, to the post
master general, dated January %,
which said: The British government
forbids bur placing the Commercial
Cable company or its cables under
the control of its competitor, the
Western Union Telegraph company.
Burlcsons Angry Reply
The postoffice department tonight
made public copy of Mr.. Burleson's
reply to Mr.. Ward in which he said;
ut seems only necessary to state
that the English government is eN-
ercsing control over the property of
and persons connected with the Com
mercial Gable company located in
the British possessions. And under
the joint resolution of congress this
government, through the postmaster
general is controlling the operation
of the cable properties within its
jurisdiction.
You have been relieved by me of
all duties affecting the operation of
| cables of your company, so far as
the jurisdiction of this government is
concerned over the cables of the
Commercial company. | have no in
strnctions to ISSUE to you in regard
to any requirements that the British
government may require of you, as an

mains OF the old monarchy minus the
states which have established. their
