PREDICTED FOR U. S.
New York.—Clifford J. MacGreg
or, leader of a Northern meteoro
logical expedition, reported by radio
from his Greenland camp, 600 miles
from the North Pole, that the Unit

reported in a radio broadcast from
Reindeer Point, Greenland, “will
later mean high rivers, with many
of them reaching flood stage.”

RABIES INCREASING IN
GEORGIA
Rabies in animals is increasing
from year to year in Georgia, ac
cording to Dr. T. F. Sellars, labora
tory division chief of the State De
partment of Public Health.
Although dogs are entirely re
sponsible for the disease, wholesale
killing of dogs is not necessary to
solve the problem, he asserted.
“Certain countries have wiped out
rabies simply by rigid enforcement
of the law,” he explained, “and if
we in America and Georgia could at
tain the same degree of law en
forcement, we, too, would get re
sults.”
Dr. Sellars advocates annual regis
tration of all dogs, with prompt de
struction of strays; restriction of
dogs at all times to the owner’s pre
mises, except on leash or in company
of the owner and three-month quar- j
antine of dogs exposed to a rabid
animal.
Mealy bugs on house plants are
hard to eradicate. Get a bottle of
moth spray and with a sharply point
ed stick dipped into it, touch places
where bugs are found and they will
soon disappear.

IT IS DANGEROUS
It is dangerous to sell a SUBSTI
TUTE for 666 just to make three or
four cents more. Customers are your
best assets; lose them and you lose
your business. 666 is worth three or
four times as much as a SUBSTI
TUTE.
