VACCINATION OF DUGS AGAINST RABIES The records of the State Board of Health for show that rabies is present jn every Georgia county. This mean that every dog runs a con¬ stant risk ----- of becoming infected. Every infected dog is a probable means of further spreading of the dis ease, not only among other dogs, but to all anlmalH and to man. It it. were possible to keep all dogs muzzled or confined, rabies would de¬ crease and perhaps entirely disappear, Buch measures have been enforced by law In England, Holland and Australia so successfully that these countries are entirely free ‘ of rabies. Many attempts have been made in America 1° enforce muzzling laws with very P°° r success, except in certain large cltieH wherfi police power is adequate. a ntirabic treatment has been recognized for many years, both for man and ani¬ mals. It has long been known that, If all dogs could be given Pasteur treatment once a year, rabies would be stamped out. Unfortunately, this treatment is too expensive and trou¬ blesome, and hence this plan of rabies control has never been attempted. About three years ago an antirablc vacc(ne wati ,i ev j se( j ))y j a p an( , ge W htc.h promises to solve the problem 0 f controlling rabies. This consists of a single injection of vaccine which can be administer'd to the dog by hypodermic ln a few minutes time, produces no ill effects and. It Is claimed, affords Immunity against rabies for one year The Japanese experimented with the vaccine on a large scale, vaccinating over 60,000 dogs, with the result that rabies has almost disappeared In those sections where the majority of dogs have been vaccinated. In the unvac clnated areas the disease continues to remain as prevalent as before. Antirablc vaccine for dogs Is now being used in America to a limited sxtent. Wo Americans are sceptical of new things, and we must be shown before we believe all that we hear and much that we see. As far as American investigators have been able to determine by experience, the one injection antirablc vaccine Is of treat value In protecting animals, pro¬ vided it is given before the animal j Is bitten or exposed. However, Its j action Is slow, about four to six weeks j being required after vaccination be- j fore the animal Is sufficiently immune ; to resist the effect a of a severe bite. j Furthermore, we have learned that i the one injection method is of 1 no value in protecting animals after they have been bitten. A long course of treatment must be used in such cases and sometimes treatment fails even under the most Ideal conditions, As a rule. It is not worth while to attempt to pave dogs which have been severe* ly bitten by a ruhid dog. The trouble ■ind expense of treating and keeping Ihe exposed animal in confinement for Ihree months Is not justified, except for very valuable animals. I The one Injection antirablc vaccine for dogs is being manufactured and sold by a number of biological supply houses. It Is not expensive and eau he obtained and administered by any < reputable veterinarian. Certain towus \ and cities are enacting ordinances re- ■ quiring compulsory vaccination of all dogs. Special collar tags are supplied ' for vaccinated dogs and records of ! alt vaccinations are kept. Every dog * owner under this plan ig given a limited time to have his dogs vacei- | uated. After this time the police are instructed to take into custody all dogs not wearing the proper vacci- ! nation tag. These are kept impoun- \ tied for a few days and if not called ! for are killed. The delinquent owner I In such cases, If found, is usually as¬ • sessed a fee or fine and liis dogs re¬ leased. provided they are vaccinated. Columbus, Albany. Valdosta and a few other Georgia cities are trying out i this plan of rabies control, but it is too soon to estimate results. The State Hoard of Health Is pri¬ marily interested in any project or • plan which may increase the safety of the public against rabies. We are, therefore, watching with great inter¬ est the results of the new antirablc vaccine for dogs, with the hope that in cities and towns where it is being xpplied it may come up to our expec¬ tations as a practical and simple so lution of controlling rabies. It should be emphasized, however, that this vac¬ cine cannot be substituted for anti eabic treatment. Any attempt to do so may result in an outbreak of rabies in the community, in that it gives a feeling of false security—the owner allows the dog to run loose, the vac¬ cine fails to protect and a number of dogs are bitten by the rabid animal.

[ carrying of ■ It may fairly be said that railway management has displayed an increasing recog¬ > nition of its obligation to render service that is efficient, to supply that service at rea¬ sonable rates and to take the people into its confidence by furnishing accurate infor¬ mation about transportation affairs. The public, with a better knowledge of railroad matters, has come to realize that transportation is not something apart, but something • intimately connected with the prosperity of each individual and of the country as a whole. Understanding that as the railroads prosperthey prosper,the people are no long I •er regarding the roads with hostility and distrust, but are according transportation the \ same square deal and fair treatment that is given other industries ’ principle is An interesting illustration of the operation of the of cooperation \ found in the Shippers Regional Advisory Boards. There are eight of these in different • sections of the country. That for the Southeast is in session today in Savannah, Georgia. The purpose of these Boards is stated as follows: “To form a common meeting ground between Shippers and Railroads > for the better understanding of transportation questions, to adjust in¬ formally car difficulties which may arise between carrier and shipper and to give the shipping pid -u* a direct voice in the activities of the Car ■ Service Division on all matters of mutual concern.” To carry out this purpose, representatives of shipper and carrier meet, at regular intervals, around the conference table on a basis of mutual confidence and good will. They hear reports, discuss problems and make plans for handling business. Attend¬ ance is voluntary, the proceedings are informal, but largely as a result of the informa¬ tion presented and the contact established it has been possible for the railroads to handle a record-breaking volume of traffic without car shortages, delay or interrup¬ tion to business. There is no question that business suffers when transportation is slow, uncertain or inadequate. Shippers who have wisely furthered the purpose of the Regional Ad¬ visory Boards bear witness to the saving in interest charges, the speeding-up of busi ness, and the benefits to individual enterprises and to industry in general because of • ■ more dependable transportation. - > Indication of the necessity for the best efforts of all connected with transportation is found in the fact that in 1890 the railroads rendered a service of 1,836 ton miles per capita, while in 1923 this had increase^ tu 4,160 ton miles; or, putting it another way. v -hile population increased 70 per cent the demand for transportation increased 231 per cent. It is reasonable to assume that the demands upon the railroads will continue to ■« increase. It is a fair question to ask wh .' he carriers are doing to meet this demand They are spending this year one billion ore hundred million dollars in expanding and increasing their facilities. The public will benefit from the increased efficiency that • 4* ■ will result The Central of Georgia Railway appreciates the assistance of such agencies as the Shippers Regional Advisory Boards. The Central of Georgia is always glad to a\ ail itself of helpful ideas advanced by the traveling and shipping public. •» Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. L. A.
