RABIES CAUSES ONE
DEATH IN IS CASES

SEATTLE, Aug. 14.-Although
there are comparatively few cases of
rabies in Washington due to the
strict quarantine, one human death
from this cause occurred this sum-
mer, DR.. Paul A. Turner, director of
the state department Of health,
points out. This is the iirst death of
a person from this disease on the
state records since 1919.
Out Of the 10 animal cases inves-
tigated in the state laboratory dur
ing the last six months, only five
were positive. The two types of
rabid animals are the furious and
paralytic Tho furious type becomes
depressed, suspicious and unfriend-
ly, and roams aimlessly biting any
thing in his way. Paralysis usually
begins to appear alter three or four
Gays. With the paralytic CT dumb
type, paralysis begins Immediately
with dropping of the jaw. The ami
NAL has difficulty in swallowing.
Biting does not occur but the saliva
from this animal is infectious.
The disease is usually communi-
Gated to humans by bite of rabid
animal but the bite must pierce
through the skin before infection can
take place. Less frequently, infec-
ton occurs through contact in re-
cent wound with the saliva of an in
fected animal.

WHEN WORKERS AND FARMERS
ARE WELL OFF, ALL PROSPER
By CLAUDE D. RITTER

what more sacred duty can we
have than keeping the citizenship of
our country at the highest level of
intelligence, health and virtue?
We must protect and preserve
America and Americans.
To do so our gates must be closed
to a class of immigrants who have
been coming in recent years; who are
literally watering our Nations life
blood.
We must receive only those, who
by intelligence and virtue, by thrift
and loyalty, are worthy of receiving
the equal advantages of the priceless
gift of American citizenship.
Opposed to this policy, we have a
class of money-mad employers of la
Dor, fortunately limited in numbers,
who are insisting that we open our
doors to cheap foreign labor. They
do not realize the effect such policy
would have on our citizenship, or else
put money before country.
When our farmers and wage earn
ers are well off, it is certain that all
Others will be well off too, and it is a
matter for hearty congratulation that
wages in this country are higher than
in any part of the world, and as a
natural consequence, the standard of
living is higher.
Every effort of our lawmakers
should be bent to secure the perma-
nency of this condition of things, and
its improvement wherever possible;
therefore, it follows that our labor
must be protected from the presence
in this country, of laborers repre-
senting a standard of living so de-

and is sure winner. State Adjutant
Lester F. Albert, who recently saw
this picture in Indianapolis, Indiana,
says it is the most gripping photo
play he has ever seen.
The picture is based upon the case
of Martin Talbot, an ex-service man
from North Dakota, who was ar
rested while bumming a ride on a
freight train in Florida. Being un-
able to pay his fine of $25, he was
sentenced to a 80 day term in a pri
vate logging camp, where convict
labor was used and exploited. A
frail constitution, added to harsh
treatment soon undermined his
health, leaving him too weak to
work. This brought down the VEN
gance of the brutal convict whipping
boss, from which effects, he died
within three days. The American
Legion soon had the matter in hand.
and belated justice was secured. The
Boss was arrested and
tried for murder, receiving a sentence
of 20 years in the state prison. Not
satisfied with this victory, the Ameri-
can Legion pushed relentlessly on,
until the convict leasing system was
abolished within the state of Flori-
da.
This six reel drama will be shown
on Armistice day, as well as the day
previous, November 10-11, and we
guaranteed it to be one of the most
forceful PICTURES ever shown in this
