loUers desiring dduice are urged

By DIR. MILTON A. BOSLEY,
d. v. M.
The cry of mad dog" is usually
the sign of madness on the part
Of humans rather than of the
dog.
One of the greatest crimes COM
mitted against "mans best friend"
is the killing of dogs for alleged
rabies. The public has been edu-
Gated to fear hydrophobia or
rabies to the extent that the in
slant dog acts abnormally a
policeman is called to kill the
animal.
Uneasy in Summer
CANNES are naturally mhabl-
tantS of the out-of-doors, and 1
believe it wise to state at this
time that they sweat with their
tongues rather than through their
skin. For this reason rabies are
supposedly more prevalent IN the
summer due to the fact that dogs
sweat profusely at the mouth dur
ing hot weather and, Just as
humans. are uncomfortable and
uneasy in the hot summer.
Most veterinarians, I believe,
will agree with my statement that
hardly one dog in everv 5000 ever
has a case of rabies. Being Kept
in hot apartments and stutty
houses, it is natural that your pet
should sweat, even in the winter
time.
Symptoms of Rabies
If a dog actually has rabies he
is incurable, but if he is vaccl-
mated with anti-rabies serum it is
almost certain that he will not
contract this dread disease. How
ever, let me attempt to brush aside
some of the popular errors re-
garding rabies and state some OF
the facts which are agreed upon
by veterinarians who have studied
the matter
Usually rabies are preceded by
a change in the normal habits of
the dog. A friendly dog may be-
come very vicious, while a vicious
dog may become very friendly.
Other symptoms of this miser-
able ,malady are that the dog
often seeks dark spots, cheWs wood
and other substances. and stag
gers as if drunk. Sometimes he
will snap cen at the ali and then
suddenly become affecticnate. Mad
dogs do not bark. Actually they
bite without warning.
Muzzling q dog does not prevent
rabies any more than putting ad-
hesiEe tape over your mouth will
prevent tuberculosis. Dogs do not
go mad suddenly; symptoms de-
velop gradually, and therefore my
only suggestion is that you call
your veterinarian when your dog
behaves IN an unusual manner.

SINKING FUNDS
 RULING GIVEN
No Legislative Action Ne. cessary to Combine Dis.
 trict Receipts

Legislative action will not be 3ec- essary to combine the first and sec- ond taxation district surplus re- source sinking funds, Controller Daniel J. Leary informed the board of finance yesterday afternoon. There are now sinking funds for the two districts but tho aldermen recently passed 6 vote wsping out the one remaining outside district, the Park Road school district.
 Controller Leary stated that he had been instructed that the sink ing funds of the first and second taxation districts were automatical- ly combined when the Park road district was eliminated. Therefore the finance board ct yesterdays meeting, the final one of the year, ordered Si2b,000 deposited in the sinking fund. This represented de- linquent taxes, assessments, lien fees and interest collected during December.
 The new io3e budget, which went into effect Wednesday, is made Up to provide for one taxation district. This makes c simpler form of hand ling the city'S finances. Controller Leary said yesterday that Q saving in bookkeeping costs has already been realized.

Adult Reading Here
 Lowest In Six Years
Circulation Decline to Be Shown in Bronson Library RepOrt-Similar Trend Noted Throughout Country

A reliable barometer of business conditions, library circulation in Waterbury reached it's peak in the mid-depression year of 1882 and be- gan Q slight decline in 1883. The decrease continued in 1884 and be- came more marked during the year just past than at any previous time since the late nineteen twenties.
 The trend in this city has been similarly noted throughout the co,iil- try. A recent report of the Ameri- can Library Association disclosed that 1895 circulation of books in 8 representative cities in the United States receded two to five per cent after several years of unprecedented gains. The most important factor contributing to the decline is be- lieved to be the likelihood that many persons who had leisure during hard times were now working.
 Another reason is more money to spend for amusements, including the movies. Non-fiction reading has definitely increased this year while there has been @ noticeable drop in fiction reading. The book in great- est demand at the Silas Bronson H. brary is Mrs. Anne Morrow Lind- bergh's North of the Orient" which is also leading in popularity in li- braries throughout the country. Other books especially sought here include Europa, life With Father" and pr. Alexis Carrel's Man the Unknown"

Appeal Of Bishop McAuliffe Awakens
 Enthusiasm Here
Scouts Enrolled in Various Parishes Establishes City's Highest Record for Membership-St. Lucys
 Troop Formed TOday-Transcript Reports

Reaching a total of 107 registra. tions, the number of boys enrolled in Catholic Boy Scout troops ir Waterbury has surpassed all pre- vious records it was announced to. day at the local council oface fir the Brown building. This figure it was pointed out, includes only those boys registered in troops sponsored by Catholic parishes ir the city and should not be regarded as the actual number of Catholic scouts.
 Many of the boys were registered / in other troops before the strong or- ganization movement was launcehd in the diocese by Rev. Maurice F McAuliffe, bishop of Hartford These boys have in many cases re- tained their memberships in the troops already existent in their re- spective districts.
 Today's announcements by Scout Executive David Babson is coinci- dent with an article in the Catholic Transcript which reports that the Hartford diocese now has 76 regis- tered troops in Catholic churches, the highest number in any diocese in America except the archdiocese of Chicago.
 Achievement
 Scout offlcials throughout the New England region have acclaimed this achievement as outstanding in the annals of scouting during the past year. Diocesan committees in each community were appointed un- der the general direction of Rev. William J. Collins of Newtown. The rapidity with which troops were organized and the general success of the movement have been @ source of gratiflcation to Bishop McAuliffe and committee heads.
 The group in this district was headed by Mayor Frank Hayes and included Judge Frank P. McEvoy and James J. Hennessy. Several new troops were organized here and others are now in the process of organization. Application for @ charter was made this morning by t,ae troop being sponsored by St. Lugy's church.
 Father Collins has announced that while excellent progress had been made during the past year,

BIDS RECEIVED ON CITY BONDS
$9OO,OOO Worth of Fund. ing, Street Improvement
 Certificates to Be Sold

Several bids on the city's $900,- 900 worth of funding and street iin- provement bonds which 1t proposes to sell tonight at @ meeting of the board of aldermen have been re- ceived. City Clerk Joha P. Fitzmau- rice stated today. The bonds will be divided as follows: Debt funding, $6O0,0 street improvement, S400- GOO. Bids on the bonds were called for at q meeting of the board of aldermen two weeks ago.
 No interest rate is quoted in the city's call for bids. The bidders, therefore, will be allowed to set their own rates. The one asking the lowest rate of interest from the city will be awarded the bonds. The $500,000 in funding bonds will be used to retire that sum in out standing bonds which become due during 1886. The $400,000 will be used to buy materials and equip ment for use on WPA projects in Waterbury.
 In recommending the sale of the bSAAdo 0v tAAAO vAsRaC AVAUyVh CAohh Hayes pointed cut that the money is not needed immediately. How ever, he explained, the market is in such excellent shape now that the city stands Q chance of getting the best rates possible. Delay until later in the year might cost the city considerable money, 1t is fig ured.
 Tonight's session of the board will be the last one ts the present board. The terms of the present members will automatically expire Sunday night. The new board will be sworn in Monday morning. To- nights meeting will be the last one for AldermeM John T. Derwin and Harry Baumel, democrats. and AL dermen Charles Schmidt, Louis Liebeskind and Simeon Nichols, rec publicans.
