WARNS AGAINST
RABID ANIMALS

breaking Its chain in order to effect
its escape. At first the animal shows
only slight tendency to bite, running
along aimlessly, sometimes for long
distances, but later on begins snap
ping at imaginary objects, or at other
animals or people that are directly in
its way, until finally losing all con-
troll, and by some impulse, it savagely
attacks everything in sight or may
bite it's own body. A peculiar hoarse
bowling bark may be noticed.
"3. The paralytic stage: The
animal is very gaunt, the eyes are
sunken, staring and CLASSY. It be-
comes gradually paralyzed, swallow
ing becomes impossible and saliva
, runs out of it's mouth. 1t may have
paralysis of the lower jaw and tongue
may hang out. The hindquarters
become affected and the animal can
barely walk at all.
"The dumb form is manifested by
the absence of the desire to bite, the
animal being very dull and appearing
to have some slight difficulty in swal-
lowing. It may have hacking
cough as if something was LODGED in
its throat. The paralysis of lower
Jaw takes place early in this form and
death usually follows about the third
dav. -

les are frequently killed so earlv in

he readily understood that in certain
earlv cases it is impossible to make
an absolutely definite DIAGNOSIS,

disease from time animal is bitten or
inoculated, varies; dogs and cats IA
to 90 days and even as long as two
Years. The average time of inc'1-
bation being about 25 days. In
other animals, one to six months or
longer.
"When a person has been bitten by
dog, do not kill such dog unless you
see he is acting strangely. If pos
sible tie up the dog securely and wait
for further developments; but if i'm
possible to catch such dog without
danger, or if there is chance of its
getting awav and again running at
large, kill the animal before more
damage may be done. In killine such
an animal, the best way is to shoot it
back of the front left shoulder, as
shooting thru the head destroys the
brain for examination. When any
person has been bitten by dog sus-
pected of rabies he should be submit
ted for examination.

interest in this connection are those

GAS SHORTAGE CAUSE
increase IN Rates
CUT DOWN Waste

Owing to the gas shortage and the
change in economic conditions that
has resulted in added cost of opef-
alton, the Medina Gas & Fuel Co.
asked the city council for permission
to increase the present flat rate of SO
cents per thousand cubic feet. This
was granted at the Council meeting
Tuesday evening when an ordinance
was passed permitting the company
to set the following rates which will
become effective about June:
For the first 1000 cubic feet and up
to 5000-48 cents per 1000 cubic feet;
for the next 5000--53 cents; the fol-
lowing 5000-5s cents; all over 10000
! will be charged at the rate of 63 cents
per thousand cubic feet. A minimum
charge of so cents will obtain, all bills
paid before the tenth of the succeed
ing month will be subject to a cents
discount as formerly. The gas COM
pany are to furnish meters free and
will maintain an eight ounce pressure
at all times.
About 100000 are spent yearly by
the company in leases, said an of
ffcial, this week, and the cost Of
sinking well averages about $4,000.
Thus it will be seen, he said, that the
company is under considerable ex-
pense for those items alone.
One of the results of the new rate
will be the lessening of gas used, es-
pecially in furnaces. The consump-
tion of large amounts is being dis
couraged by the company in order
that the supply will not be premature
ly exhausted.
At present there are 100 users of
gas in Medina, S5 at Chippewa Lake,
,28 at Lafayette and 80 at Brunswick.

r knowing that there has been a
large number of cases of rabies this
winter, thruout Medina county, the
Health Commissioner, DR.. RIA. Brint-
nall, wants every possible step taken
to prevent more serious outbreak in
the spring and summer. The danger
from rabies is much greater in the
summer months than in the colder
ones, and judging from the number of
cases that have shown up this winter,
we are in for very serious outbreak
during the summer months unless pre-
cautions are taken. Relative to this
DR.. W. F. Wise, issues the following:
~ am giving you instructions to fol-
low in regard to any animals you may
own: First, killing any strange dog
seen on the premises acting in pc
culiar way. Locking up any dog that
is acting in an unnatural way and re-
porting it to a veterinarian. Killing
of such dogs that never remain at
home and running over the country.
such dogs are the disease imfesters
and transmit 1t over the county.
eve knew very little about rabies
in Medina county until about one and
half years ago. Since that time it
has been on the increase and lately
has been gaining rapidly. We hear
of rabid dogs now over all the coun-
ty. Medina county is one of the worst
infested counties in the state, and
this disease has cost the county thou
sands Of dollars in the last year and a
half.
"Rabies is an acute, contagious and
almost without exception, fatal in
fectious disease, and transmitted sole
ly by incubation, generally by the
bite of an affected animal. In this
way it is transmitted from one to an
other. In the last year we have OBJ
served it in dogs, cats, rabbits, hogs,
sheep, cattle and horses in this coun-
ty and the greatest care must be TAX
en- when around such animals, due to
the high infectious type of the dis
ease, which can be transmitted to the
human being thru bite or getting sal
iva from an affected animal in a
wound or scratch that may be on the
hands or face.
GAS to symptoms, they differ in
some cases, as it occurs in different
forms. There are three stages of
the furious type, namely:
II. The premonitory stage, which
lasts from 12 to As hours,is character
lied by an alteration in the behavior
of the animal. 1t may be either sui
len or irritable, or just the opposite
by showing an increased affection and
great desire to be with and petted
by it's master. Tt may be restless
and nervous and may show an incli-
nation to chew grass, wood, rags, and
sometimes may be seen chewing
stones as it would a bone. It may
have difficulty swallowing, an incli-
nation to vomit and show symptoms
OF choking. N
"2. The maniacal stage, lasting
three or four days, the animal having
an overwhelming desire to run away
from home, tearing down doors, or

MAN; 0MMITS SUICIDE
ACCOUNT ILL HEALTH

Jake Lentz, proprietor of the pool
hall over Ferriman's store, residing
at 412 East Liberty street, committed
suicide in his pool hall by hanging,
Sunday evening between o'clock and
10 o'clock.
Mr.. Lentz had been in i'll health for
the past several months and, it is be-
lieved that mental depression, due to
his condition, is responsible for the
act.
He left home about seven o'clock
Sunday evening telling his wife that
he was going for a walk and would re-
turn in about an hour. When he did
not return, his son, Bernard, was sent
to find him and, about 10 o'clock, ac-
companied by Charles Dannley, he en-
tered his fathers pool hall. When
the two reached the back of the place
they beheld Lentz's body swinging by
a rope from a beam. His feet were
but a few inches from the floor, and
an overturned stool some distance
away indicated that the man,after ty.

"There is an unwarranted prejud-
ice against steam laundries," said Mr..
Shupe, (which I intend to dissipate.
Many experiences of the public with
laundries has been dfscouraging thru
two faults of the laundries-a too
strenuous wear on clothes and lost ar

duced to minimum. The same care
will be taken Of every article that
comes to the plant as it receives in

The water here is admirable for
laundering purposes, thinks Mr.
Shupe, and he anticipates no trouble
in giving first class service. All that
he asks as an encouragement is q
heavy patronage.
