(A) The dog. Do not kill the dog.
Restrain him securely and safely,
with the proper food and water, keep
him under watch for ten days. A
mad dog will die in five to ten days;
you will know thereby that he was
not "mad." If he must be killed (or
if he dies) then cut off the (whole)
head, pack it in ice and send it to the
state laboratory, so that a quick re-
port may be obtained.
(B) The person bitten: The
wound and scratches should be eau
terized at once by a physician. In
case the dog is mad, those bitten
should begin the Pasteur treatment
at once.

prepared b, tne United States Department
of Agriculture)
Veal, Contrary to the common belief,
Is wholesome and easily digested, exper-
iments carried on by the United States
Department of Agriculture have
shown. Much of the prejudice against
veal is result of improper methods of
preparation. II is a palatable meat,
resembling the white meat of chicken
In flavor. If eaten when served rare,
or even UNDERGONE, veal is unappetiz-
ing and may cause some discomfort.
The results are also unsatisfactory II
zeal is overlooked either by vigorous
boiling or by roasting at high tenn
perature. Because of the rather mild
flavor veal dishes are improved by
seasoning with certain vegetables and
herbs, such as carrots, onions, green
peppers, celery, parsley or thyme.
. The office of home economics of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has drawn up suggestive list of
cuts suitable for various dishes. This
list is not at all arbitrary and need not
be slavishly followed. Cuts from the
fore quarter of veal and few of the
tougher cuts from the hind quarter
may require long cooking by such
methods as stewing and braising, while
the loin, the leg and the rib cuts are
desirable for roast and entrees.
Soups.
The cuts best suited to soup making
are the flank, the hind shank, the
knuckle of the fore shank, or the rib
ends. A well-seasoned veal soup, If
strained and chilled, makes very ap-
petizing jelly for serving occasionally
in place of the usual hot soup.
Stews.
For stews it is well to buy the neck.
the ends of the ribs, the breast. or the
thick part of the fore shank. Some of
these cuts contain considerable soft
bone, or cartilage, which may be re-
moved from the stew before serving.
Stews should be simmered slowly,
avoiding an excess of water. The fla
vor of stew is much improved If the
pieces of meat are Drowned lightly in
a little fat before adding the water.
Braised Veal.
Braising is combination of stewing
ard roasting. The surface of the meat
is usually scared in hot fat then placed
In casserole or other baking dish
with a cover; seasonings, including
vegetables, if liked, and little water
are added and the whole cooked slowly
in the oven. Such cuts as the shoul-
der, the breast, the fore shank, the
flank (rolled), and even the neck are
suited to this method.

Veal steak is cut from the round.
The cuts corresponding to porterhouse
