DISEASES CARRIED BY DOGS
Animal Should Be Handled in Such
Way as Best to Further Welfare
of the Community.

Many diseases OF man and domestic
animals are carried by dogs. Every
body, of course, knows that the dog
is responsible for rabies, but it is

is equally responsible for other fatal
diseases. Among them may be men

and stock. measles in sheep, cySti-
cercosis of the liver in stock Some
of these parasites depend so absolute
ly on dogs as carriers that they would
become extinct if dogs were not avail
able as hosts. Dogs probably play a
part, also. in the spread of diseases
due TO fungi. such as ringwOrm and
favus, and they certainly play part
in the spread of diseases that may be
carried by fieas and ticks.

and occupied 50 minutes In passing. Even more
pretentious the celebration following the sur
render Of General Lee. After 1865 BuffalO's cele-
bration OF the Fourth OF July was rather humdrum
and marked by special features-Just In
most other American cities.
BY 1910 the powder disease had come to its

Of the day called it the national nuisance"
Moreover the nation alive the tremendous
loss of life. Tables prepared by the Journal Of
the American Medical Association showed that the
number of the killed and injured in the celebra-
ton of 1909 was 53OT; for the seven years pre-
ceding 1910 the total was 81, sos
Perhaps the first notable safe and sane cele-
bration was that in Springfield, Mass, in 1909.
However. in 1910 most Of the large cities of the
country presented entirely new kind of celebra-
ton, the basis being the parade and pageant Fire
crackers were taboo; the displays of fireworks
were municipal affairs.
ST must confess that 1 always like to brag on

a good many years ago. cit is the greatest day
in the American calendar. Nay, more, it gives
perfume to the whole air that encircles this globe
Every man. woman, or child who breathes it, no

There is not liberal sentiment where civilization
is known that is not quckened the Fourth of

enters into the tent of the cOnscript. The one
says: There is for and for my children some
thing better than this hut The other says:
Why should / fight to uphold thrones and cut
the throat of my brother TO maintain caste and
privilege? The Fourth OF July lifts the thought
the aspirations, the prayers Of the people Of all
countries to higher planes of living thinking and
dying. Why ii is university, a college, high
school, common school. It Is a HbeTa1 educa-
ton In patriotism and manhood"
That's the way a good many good Americans
feel about the Fourth Of July even TO this day,
even II there are those who hold that noise Is vu
gar and ''brag is our national vice" Some OF Us
have an idea way down deep that the American
who will not brag the Fourth Of July is hardly
worthy OF his birthright.
STILL 1t is seIf-evident fact that the old Fourth
of July is gone, never to come back. OF course
we must keep the day and celebrate It. It Is too
important day to be sighted 1t must be cele-
brated right.
But let nobody make the mistake OF trying to
refine all the fight out of it. Our ancestors handed
down to freedom and the love Of freedom and

to night for freedom. And that's got to stick out
of any proper observance Of the Fourth Of July
in the United States of America.
