G. Does a person get hydropho-
bia if a dog which has bitten him
goes mad afterward? Is person
sure to contract the disease if bit
ten by rabid animal? J. T. F.
A. The bureau of animal indus
try says that there is no founda-
ton for the belief that persons
bitten by a dog which subsequent
" becomes rabid will contract the
disease. The bite of rabid dog is
fatal in practically all cases where
the virus is transmitted if no treat
ment is given, but only three times
out of ten is the virus actually
transmitted.

Sunburn and Tan.
/ am light complexioned and
sunburn easily l should like TO
get tanned. If you know of any
way l can do so kindly advise me.
L. l. NJ.
Answer-Very brief periods of
exposure to the sun three times a
day-not over five minutes each
time-at first. Increase the dura-
ton of exposure not over five min
utes the second day, and so on, On
til you can stand an hour or two
at time without burning. The
tanning will follow in due course
A light complexion naturally burns
with less sun exposure than a dark
comrl exon, and more care is nee
essary for that reason. If expo
sure is prolonged, it is we'll to
smear the zinc oxide ointment over
the sensitive parts of the skin, and
then a heavy coating of talcum
sprinkled over that, as protection.
