 T have just completed trip through Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana" con tinued MT. Kress, and everywhere the business conditions seemed to be on the upgrade. It is encouraging to know that the losses which resulted to the merchant from the fall of prices are now a thing of the past, and that with the new year we face a brighter prospect with, new stocks and new prices
 Tn our stores we cut everything to rock-bottom during the end of last year, and now we have taken our losses, and we have bought our pres ent stocks at the new prices.
 In every city I have visited there seems to be greater building activities than on my previous visits, and that is good indication of the strength of the business world
 People must a3 to work and re- main confident of the outcome of the present period of readjustment Things Did fair to once more reach normal in the near future.",

Plans have been made by the com missioner of public safety and the health department to see that the or d'nance prohibiting dogs running a, Jorge without muzzles is rigidly en, forced. The law provides that a dog in this condition must be shot on sight. Power to kill these dogs is del |egated to members of the police de> pertinent.
 Four more children from Vivian be- gan taking the Pasteur treatment yes- terday They are Matte, Willie, Thom, as and M. M Gibson. All were bitten by the dog which bit a score of per- sons in that community. More vic- tims of this dog are scheduled 10 come iE today
 Through yesterday, 64 patients
 had begun the treatment at the city bureau of laboratories during February. This compares with 31 in January, more thnn double
 the number of cases last month.
 570 PER CENT INCREASE
 Last year, the entire 12 months
 
 year there have been 95. If cases would come in with equal frequency during the rest of 1921, this would mean an increase of 57o per cent in the number of persons taking anti rabic treatment
 In 1920 only 70 per cent of those who took the treatment were bitten by rabid animals. This year, 70 per cent have been bitten by rabid dogs. Twenty three per cent of those taking the treatment were bitten by stray ooss' and no record as to whether the dog was rabid or not is available.
 The figures revealed by a perusal of the records are fearfully appalr- ing" said Dr. Bowling. If the num- ber of patients increased proportion, ately the rest of the year, the result could not be forecast
