XGHMAN'S INTERESTS N SUGGESTIONS FOR HOME

Mad Dog! What To Do!
(By DR.. X. IL. Bishop

Mad dog! Perhaps you will hear
that terrible cry once or twice this
summer. 1t is a signal to scurry
Tor shelter.
During the dog days" of sum
mer, everybody fears Il mad dog"
Yet rabies or hydrophob!a, which
often follows the bite OF d mad or
rabld dog is just as dangerous in
winter as during the hot season.
For rabies, contrary 20 popular
opinion, IL an all-the-year-round
disease.
The germ that causes rabies is
present In the saliva of a rabid AMI
NAL and enters the body of another
animal or human being through a
bite or break in the skin.
Generally the disease develops
within from Is to 80 days in man.,
though it has been known to de-
Nelop as early as 10 days and as late
as a year or more after the infect
ing site.
10 guard against the danger of
rabies everyone should know the
symptoms.
1here are nine which may easily
I've recognized b ythe layman. They
L 90 sudden change in DISPOSE
uon CD Unusual nervousness or lr-
ritability 500 tendency to leave
home; (4l change in voice TO a
hoarse bark or husky growl; CO..
difficulty n swallowing, particularly
fluid food. {6) tendency to snap or
bite without p~rovocation: 60 weak
ness or paralysis of the legs or low
er jaw; (S) an increased flow of sa-
llNa; CD the desire to swallow alb
normal substances such as wood,
stones, etc
If Il dog has bitten anyone, don't
hasten to shoot the Offending ami
NAL, but lock ii up in order that a
diagnosis may be made. AS the first
stage of the disease progresses a
dog Will scarcely touch its faVortte
food or VIII refuse to swallow it
even alter having it in the mouth
Later it Will reject all food, but
chew objects within its reach and
swallow them II possible.
CauteriZation of the wound and
the Pasteur treatment are measures
designed TO prevent the develop
ment of the disease after being bit
ten, but should be undertaken only
under the supervision of & Compel
emit physician.

moments in golf and tennis, but
archery gives an opportunity always
for the most graceful and beautiful
of attitudes.
Mt only that, but it really devol-
cps grace aud symmetry more than
any other form of exercise, besides
atfording development of arms and
shoulders.
After the original outlay for the bow
and arrows the worst is over.
A good bow may command any
price, according to its merit. 1t is
Handsome. preferably of yew, and
must balance exactly. The arrows,
too, must be of perfect balance.
Regulation arrows are tipped with
brass. Many society Women are
having their bows tipped with silver,
ivory or gold. Naturally, these en-
tellishments are expensive.
The sartorial equipment is limited
only by your imagination and your
W. llet. Any snappy sports costume
is bound 10 be seen to advantage.
Naturally you want something that
insures freedom. Practically any
color looks we'll against green.
The strength of the bows is COM
puted in the pounds of pull necessary
to draw back the string until the
arrow head touches the wood.
Ulysses, you remember, had a bow
of such strength that no other man
could string it. One way to keer
your archery set exclusive is to de-
Velop a similar STRENGTH.

That was how the Campfire Girls

society and business girls how to

At parks, country clubs and on
greenswards generally splashy look

most attractive sport toys are being
exhibited to advantage. Archery
clubs may become as common as
those of golf and tennis.
The one great advantage of arch
