For the last three or four years
there has been an increasing de-
mand for more room in the aver
age garage.
Most modern cars are so much
longer than the older models that
practically every town or village
has people who bought new cars
and then found they could not
get them all the way into the
garage. AS a rule there is no
trouble with the width. It is in
the length that the garage is
lacking.
To increase the length of a
wooden garage that was built ac-
cording to standard methods of
construction can be a very ex-
penSive job.
However, usually the difficulty
can be overcome at a fraction
of the cost by simply making
room for the front end of the
car. so that no change need be
made in either the front or back
wall as complete unit.
The job starts with deciding
which of the studs in the back
wall are to be removed. When
this Is settled. the studs are cut
through at the desired height and
pulled out of the wall.
The sheathing or exterior fin
ish of shingles or clapboard is
not disturbed at this time and
consequently the studs can be
removed without danger of the
wall sagging. The next step is
to install a double-header under
the ends Of the cut studs and
support it at both ends by up
rights.
When this is in place, the
sheathing and exterior finish can
safely be cut away and a low
extension of the rear wall built
out to receive the front end of
the new car.
This job will cost much less
than alteration involving extern

Rabies Has Occurred Just
3 Times Before in State
By DR.. HOWARD WEIGH

the extremely violent, maniacal
symptoms that accompany the last
stages of rabies. make it the most
dreaded disease to which man is
susceptible.
Historical reviews make tiresome
reading, and medical records, prior
to about 1900 are not very good any
way. But as far back as we have
historical records of any kind, we
find quite clear and definite records
of mad dogs, and the fear and dread
that mad dog epidenics brought on.
Montana has been exceptionally
free from rabies, minor outbreak
in 1917 in Madison county, one in
1925 in Great Falls and another in
Gallatin county in 1926. In 1917 an
infected coyote drifted in from
Idaho and caused quite commotion.
The two breaks of 1925 and 1925
were started by dogs in tourists cars.
And that brings up one of the tricky
angles of this particular disease.
Long Incubation Period
The incubation period, the length
of time between the actual infec-
ton and the appearance of the first
symptom, is very long. Normally.
emitting the freak cases when a
dog is bitten by rabid dog, it will

THE RECENT REPORTS of rab-
les in dogs (mad-dogs, hydrophobial
in the vicinity of Spokane and Bill
lings may justify a brief discussion
of this dreaded disease, in which the
dog plays the most prominent part.
/ believe there is country, Aus
tralia, New Zealand-it doesn't mat
ter-where rabies does not occur,
but for all practical purposes it is
found everywhere there are dogs.
And all warm blooded animals, in
Guiding man, can be infected.
Except in very rare instances, the
infective virus is transmitted by ami
mails that attack by biting, such as
dogs, cats. coyotes, foxes, skunks
and so on. Other animals, horses,
cattle and sheep, will develop rabies
when bitten by a rabid animal, but
cannot spread the disease further.
Practically speaking, rabies is a
disease of dogs. and the diseased
dog, for few days, is capable of
spreading the disease to other ami
mails, and man. by biting.
Mortality 100 Percent
Once the symptoms of rabies have
appeared, neither animal nor man
ever RECEIVERS. The mortality rate is
100 percent This fact, coupled with
