Of course we expect cold weath er, but if it turns out like that of last winter we're not overly concerned about it. Two or three warm snows fell here last sea son, and shallow lakes mushed over, but only once did the ice on the lakes become strong enough to support the weight of a medium-sized dog. Our landscape at the foot of Cave Junction's Main street, was changed almost overnight this week when a grove of huge trees were felled and heavy earth moving equipment began cutting a road bed to the right abut ment of the new Illinois river bridge.

Pour ing of the last concrete on the new east fork highway bridge has been completed ahead of freezing temperatures. For the past two or three years the most popular store cards posted in small retail es tablishments read: "WANTED Customers! Experience Unnecessary" One reading "headquarters for hunters, fishermen and other liars" perhaps has reference also to political candidates. Bringing up the rear of the parade of placards is one which sadly re lates "ve get so soon oldt und yet so late schmardt," also may be applied to politics and our past political mistakes.

That MEDFORD CHILDREN Will Have GUARANTEED DENTAL PROTECTION The Medical Roundup The Prevention of Rabies Many persons must have read some weeks ago of the plight of the little girl who was bitten by a dog, which later disap peared and could not be found. It is a tragedy when a dog that has bitten someone is allowed to get away. The question i s , was it mad or was it not? The doctors cannot just wait to see if the person comes down with rabies because when the disease appears, it is fatal. Some may ask, "But why not just give the Pasteur treat ment?" Because this it not pleas ant to take, and there are cases in which it does' harm. In this particular case, the little girl proved to be so allergic to the vaccine injected, that it could hardly be used. Fortunately, dur ing the past year another effec tive type of treatment has been found. I hope now that the millions of people who read about that little girl will remember that lit Alvarez.- DUNCAN Representative for THERE IS-ONLY ONE WAY YOU CAN BE SURE Paid Adv. Better Heilrh Committee Mrs. I. W. Sickeh, Chairman; Emerltui Conkuttant In Medicta. Mayo C Uale Emeritus Prutcuur ul Mtdtiln Mivn Foundation when anyone is bitten by a stray dog, some bystander should try to follow the animal and keep it in sight until a dog-catcher can be called to come and get it Then it can be watched for a few days to see if it is mad, or can be killed and a part of its brain can be examined for the Negri bod ies which are so diagnostic of rabies. May Be Orerly Irritable In a recent article, Drs. Mor ris W. Rosenthal, and C. W. Dae schner Jr. wrote that some 80 per cent of rabid dogs have what is called furious rabies, recogniz able by a change in the animal's disposition. The animal may be come overly irritable and hos tile, or he may refuse food, or he may hide under the bed, or for a while he may be overly af fectionate. Later, he will become restless and agitated and finally maniacal. Then he will snap at anyone who comes near. Usually the animal dies within 7 or 10 days after the onset of the ill ness. If a person is bitten by a mad animal and is not treated, he is likely to get hydrophobia (rabies) in about 30 days, if the bite was on the head and face, and in is DUNCAN S3 Water Fluoridation For Dental Health Purposes. about 2 months if the bite was on a leg. The length of the interval depends partly on the amount of virus that was deposited in tha wound. Deep or extensive lacera tjons, and bites on the head and face are the most dangerous ones. It is sad that because of the strong opposition of those mil lions of persons who fight all health measures and all measures that have to do with animals, in this country we have not wiped out rabies as was done in Great Britain. If every dog in thia country were to be vaccinated against rabies, and then if every dog being brought in from a for eign land were to be quarantin ed, we would soon have but lit tle trouble from rabies. That lit tle would come from wild ani mals, such as skunks, coyotes and foxes. IS ALWAYS THE BEST EXPERIENCE RE-ELECT L G.
