Dr. Wilson, Temperance Leader, Says Coolidge

Chicago, Nov. 7.-Dr. Clarence True Wilson Of Washington, D. C., Chairman of the Board of Temper ance, Prohibition and Public Vel fare of the Methodist Episcopal church, believes prohibition will be- come "a reality" according to an in- terTew published In the Chicago Daily News today. Dr. Wilson spent an hour with President Coolidge week ago.
 q came away from the White House thoroughly convinced that President Coolidge, while proceeding cautiously in accord with his usual practice, is determined that prohibi- ton shall become a reality" Dr. Will son said, according to the Daily News, "and I am willing to predict that the vigorous action he contem- plates, with the energetic support of a dry congress, which he Is practi- cally sure of receiving, will make the United States as a whole as dry as Kansas ever was in the days when the rest of the nation was dripping wet.
 President Coolidge is an ardent dry and now that he Is chief execu- tive of the nation in his own behalf he will not be slow in taking acton.
 President Coolidge has not felt 1t his privilege to seek material all teration of the government policy in the matter of prohibition enforce ment as long as he was finishing the uncompleted administration of President Harding, whose ideas he has sought faithfully to carry out. Now he can go forth in his own right"

Pullen And Witte Bitten By
 Dog Hought 10 Haue Rabies
Health Dept. Superintend- ent and Meat Inspector Taking Pasteur Treat ment as PrecautiOn.

Following discovery of suspicious symptoms of rabies in a dog that had bitten Health Superintendent Richard w, Pullen and Meat Inspec- tor Charles R. Witte, the two offi- csals are now undergoing Pasteur treatment as a precaution against contracting the disease.
 In the meantime. a diagnosis of the case is being made in a state laboratory to which the animals head was sent following his death.
 Dr. Pullen explained this morning that the symptoms of the disease were slight, but he and Dr. Witte felt they should avoid any possibility of contracting rabies and since the Pasteur treatment is universally rec ognized as a safe treatment no time was lost in beginning the 14 days treatment.
 The health department urges all persons having sick dogs to report conditions 10 the department at once and maintain a quarantine over the animals. In no case, other than an emergency, should the dog be killed, since this destroys the only diagnostic evidence, Dr. Pullen ex- plains, If, however, a mad dog is roaming the streets, 1t should be killed. The symptoms in a dog are a general illness followed by fits, it Is explained.
 Although the dog that bit the two doctors had been in quarantine for some time prior to his death and Dr. Witte, its owner, Is certain 1t bit no one else, the health depart ment explains there Is possibility of other cases either existing or having existed. The only way a dog can contract the disease is through a bite inflicted by some other dog or cat, according to Dr. Pullen.
