n NE OF the MOST widespread and
~ most firmly believed in supersti-
tions in this country is that If you
kill the dog that bit you. or have him
killed, you will not have hydr0phobia.
AS matter of fact. hydrophobia is a
specific germ disease; and If ii person
is bitten by dog suffering from that
disease. he is extremely likely to be
come inoculated. no matter what hap
pens to the dog. and. unless he gets
the Pasteur treatment in time. will
die.
AS rule, now when a person is
bitten by dog suspected of having
rabies, health officers insist that the
dog be kept under observation for a
certain length of time, instead of be-
ing killed at once. In order to see If
the animal develops the suspected
disease. Or, if some superstitiOus
person has already killed the dog, the
head is, If possible, at once secured
and examined for positive" or meg
alive" result. in order that 1t may be
ascertained If it Is necessary for the
bitten person to take the treatment"

When Baby Grows Up

BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

I'VE looked upstairs. I've looked
down.
Here and there all over town,
In the garden. in the yard
My. hut I've been looking hard.
Baby missing Help me find
One of just one certain kind, pr
Just the one I used to know
Not so very long ago.
Why, II seems just yesterday
Baby used to laugh and play,
Dc the things that babies do,
Creep and crawl and smile and COO.
But today I climbed the stair; D
Just imagine who was there?
Not baby. not at all,
But lady. big and tall. /.
There she was in baby's room,
Still the same pink roses bloom
On the paper. still the sun
Through the window peeps at one.
But the baby's gone away;
There's lady there today,
Quite lady. yet her name
And the baby's seem the same.
Once we had baby, now
Something's happened here, somehow
Now we have lady. yes,
But the incest one. guess.
Well. our baby's gone away.
But our lady's come to stay.
Baby's vanished babies do
But we love our daughter, too.

how kind they are to me They have
built house for me 50 that In the

warm house and not mind the cold:

"True, they have done that for you,
! lovely Axis Deer But at the same
time you aren't OF the complaining
kind If you were you'd complain and
grumble about the weather even
though you have warm home.
Creatures who complain do so any
way and it shows they have such cross
dispositions. Yes. I'm an adinirer Of
yours, lovely. graceful. sweet-natured

And the Axis Deer looked at billie
Brownie out of his beautiful eyes and
smiled that smile that only deer
can smiIe-just little wee smile, but
oh. so full of sweetness!

No mother in this enlightened age
would give her baby something she
did not know was perfectly harmless,
especially when few drops of plain
Castoria will right baby's stomach
and end almost any little i'll. Fretful-.
ness and fever, too; it seems no time
until everything is serene.
That's the beauty of Castoria; its
gentle influence seems just what is
needed. 1t does all that castor oil
might accomplish, without shock to
the system. Without the evil taste.
It's delicious! Being purely vegeta-
able, you can give it as often as
there's a sign of collie; constipation:
diarrhea; or need to aid sound, nat
ural sleep.
Just one warning: It is genuine
Fletcher's Castoria that physicians
recommend. Other preparations may
be just as free from all doubtful drugs,
but no child of this writer's is going
to test them! Besides, the book ON
care and feeding of babies that comes
with Fletcher's Castoria is worth its
weight in gold.

Dogs and Hydrophobia
S.e.So.e.S
By H. IRVING KING

But so difficult is it to Supplant an
cient superstitions by modern science
that, all over the country, dogs which
have bitten persons are killed in the
firm belief that danger of hydrophobia
is thereby eliminated and no further
regard is paid to the incident until. In
some cases. the bitten person develi
ops the dread disease and II is too
late for help. In the vast majority of
cases the dog probably did not have
hydrOphObia at all and the patient
would have been safe anyway. In the
other cases the patient dies sacri-
flee to a superstition.
This superstition is merely an ex-
ample of the old fallacy of our print
tive ancestors, sympathetic magic
You kill the dog of which the disease
is part and you kill the disease.
And. by sympathy. that part of the
disease which has been transferred to
the human being. this .transference
having been accomplished. according
to the theory of our ancestors, by "the
magic of contact"
