Hydrophobia anioiiR lower animals
In Georgia is quite prevalent and will
continue to be bo long as worthless,
ownerless dogs are permitted to run
fit kirge over the county. It has been
Remonstrated beyond a question ol
doubt that this disease is spread by
flogs. In England hydrophobia was
quite prevalent at one time. Laws
Pitre passed requiring all dogs to be
puzzled while on the streets or in
public places. Within two years the
disease was completely exterminated.
St was necessary, of course, to estab
lish rigid quarantine regulations for
nil dogs imported from the comment.
Jiecentiy a tow cases of rabies have
pccurred in England in Epite of the
pgid enforcement of quarantine laws.
investigation revealed tiie fact
that av.atois. with whom dogs were
quite popular a« mascots,- in ttying
back and forth across the Channel
brought a lew infected aDimals with
them from time-to time, with a result
that the disease has again re-appeared.
The ,m( ht common symptom of the
abid dog is the tendency to attack
and bite every moving object. But it
does not necessarily follow that every
biting dog is rabid. A wound from a
lion-rabid dog is not more dangerous
than a wound from some other acci
dental source. There is more or less
danger from every wound, regai dless
source, and precautions should al
ways be taken to prevent pyogenic in
fection, or blood poisoning. The ques
tion of hydrophobia should alwayB be
considered, however.
i case of dog bite proceed as fol
lows:
1. Disinfect the wound with iodine
or carbolic acid. A small drop ol
uitiric acid is preferable, but curt
should be taken not to apply beyond
the edges of the wound. A physician
should be consulted.

Buick Valve-In-Head Success
The Buick Valve-In-Heed motor car’s sales record each
aeaaon is a good example of the confidence and prestage
that the world's buyers have placed in Buick quality
and manufacture.
The famous Buick policies and principles of twenty years
ago still remain intact in Buick construction. They have
stood the test of years of constant operation. Naturally
the quality, endurance and economy which has been so
essential to over five hundred thousand Buick owners
in the past is now eagerly sought for by thousands of
future motor car purchasers.
Today the Buick Valve-In-Head built by the pioneer
builders of Valve-In-Head motor cars stand pre-emi
nently before the entire motor car field as “first choice''
among motor car buyers.
When better wtoaobflw are built, Buick will build them

He Has Made the Interest and W’elfare of His Constituents
His First Duty and Greatest Pleasure in Official Service
—Some of His Work in Washington.
1. Cotton Exchange Kegulutiont*.
Helped perfect and had charge on
the final passage in the Senate of
the Smith-Lever Act, to regulate
cotton exchanges, and to prevent
them as far as possible from put
ting down the price of cotton.
2. Cotton Markets Saved. Intro
duced and passed through the Sen
ate the resolution which obtained
from Great Britain in October,
1914, admission of our right to ship
cotton into Germany and Austria. As
a result, nearly three million bales
of cotton were shipped from the
United States into Northern and
Middle Europe before March 1,
1915, and the price advanced in.
Georgia from below 6 cents to 10
cents a pound.
8. British Lawlessness A Harked
and Cotton Prices Protected. Great
Britain, during March, 1915, repu
diated her admissions, and ordered
cotton shipped to neutral ports of
Northern Europe seized. Senator
Smith attacked this British action,
and also attacked the order made
August 21, 1915, by Great Britain,
declaring cotton contraband! Brit
ish statesmen well knew their con
duct was illegal, and, largely to
check the hostile feeling caused by
the fight Senator Smith was lead
ing, British interest* bought over
two million bales of cotton in Sep
tember, 1916. German interests
bought one million bales, hoping
cotton would be shipped to Ger
many. The shipment of the first
three million bales, and the pur
chase of the three million bales
just mentioned carried the price of
cotton m the Fall of 1915 to figures
kthjm.thqaa at. which if sold
before the war began.. But for this
advance in the price of cotton there
would have been losses in all lines
•f industry and suffering by all
• the people of Georgia and the
South.
4. Cotton Price Fixing. Helped
defeat in the Senate bills in 1917
intended to fix a maximum price
upon cotton without making the
maximum the minimum price. This
proposed legislation was especially
unfair because it would have pre
vented an advance in price, but not
a fall in price.
5. Cotton and the War Industries
Board. Fought Baruch’s War In
dustries Board in September, 1918,
when they sought to create a sin
gle purchasing agency to buy cot
ton, and to fix a maximum price
for all cotton exported without
even guaranteeing against a tell
in price.
6. Cotton and the War Trades
Board. The War Trades Board,
after the Armistice, was hindering
the export of cotton. Son a tor
Smith hammered at thorn and
gradually succeeded in causing a
removal of restrietisn*. Finally,
about June 1, 1910, the Board re
moved the feat restriction* upon
the export of cotton, and cotton
went to 86 cants a pound.
From the beginning of tbs World
War, for five years, Senator Smith
gave much of his time to keeping
open markets and obtaining a fair
8 rice for cotton. In and oiit of the
enate he worked, frequently using
the press of the East to publish
articles supporting the pries of
cotton for which he paid out of his
own pocket.
7. Agricultural Extension Work.
Prepared and put through the Sen-
. ate, the Smith-Lever Act for agri-
5 cultural extension work from the
colleges of agriculture, under which
farm demonstrators and teachers
of domestic scier.ce are employed.
8. Market Bureau. He introduced,
and put through toe Senate the
provision creating a Bureau of
Markets in the Department of Agri
culture.
9. Vocational Rehabilitation of
Wounded Soldiers. Helped prepare
and put through the Senate the
Smil h-Sayers Act under which aid
is given to the injured soldier, to
enable him to prepare again for
active work. He has been an in
tense supporter of every measure
to relieve the condition of the in
jured soldier, and led the fight in
the Senate for the recent $20.00 a
month increase in their compensa
tion.
10. Parcels Post. Helped perfect
and put into active operation, the
parcels post.
11. Good Roads. Supported act
ively national aid to good roads,
and while on the Poet Office Com
mittee, with Senators Bankhead and
Swanson, perfected the plan which
was subsequently adopted by the
Senate.
12. Clayton Act. Served on the
sub-committee which perfected this 1
act and personally had charge of
the provision* of the bill recogniz- i
ing the legality of farmers’ co-op
erative societies arid labor organi- j
zatious
13. Federal Reserve Banking
System. Actively supported and .
helped perfect the Federal Reserve 1
Banking System. At his instance
the number of Federal Reserve
Banks was increased to twelve—
that a proper number might be lo
cated in the South, and he was
largely instrumental in locating one
of them in Georgia.
14. Farm Loan Hanks. Helped
perfect and pass the act providing
for farm loan banks by which the
rate of interest charged to owners
of agricultural lands has been
greatly lessened, and by which
purchases of small farms are made
easier.
15. Nitrogen Plant. Helped per
fect and pass the Act under which
the Government is creating plants
for the production of nitrogen from
air, and supported actively tho
provision requiring the use of these
plants in times of peace to furnish
their products to cheapen the cost
of fertilizers for the farmer.
16. Income Tax Reduction. Sen
ator Smith made the fight in the
Finance Committee just after the
Armistice was signed, to reduce
the normal income tax one-third,
and every Georgian, when he pays
his income tax, is getting the bene
fit of this work of their senior
Senator.
17. Georgia Military Camps. Not
only did Senator Smith render effi
cient service in securing military
camp* for Georgia during the war,
wt Uiu were lik^iyi-ae di
rected towards securing for Geor
gians the contracts for the con-
stniction of these camps.
The permanent establishment of
the Infantry Officers Training
School—the biggest military school
in the United States and the school
to which West Pointers, after their
graduation, are sent foT their ac
tual field training—at Camp Hen
ning, Columbus, was due, in large
part, to the. untiring efforts of
Senator Siftlth.
Thirfrig the last session of Con
gress, he succeeded in stopping the
attempt to dismantle Camp Gordon.
Senator Smith urges the retention
of this camp, that Georgia boys
and boys from this section of the
Southeast; who enlist in the army,
may be permitted to receive their
training near tbehe homes. Tbs
provision in the military bill, giv
ing an opportunity for men in the
army to take vocational training
and make preparation t»
return to otofl life, was' introduced
and put through by Senator Smith.
Sondtor Smith on entering tbs
Senate sought and obtained an un-
signment to the Committee on
Agricuhittfe, aa membership on
this Committee gave him the best
opportunity to serve the farming
interests of his stats. Tbs won
which he has dons for the farming
interests, both of Georgia and of
the country, were recognised in the
Democratic platform, which called
attention, as achievements of the
Democratic Party, to measures
Georgia’s Senior Senator bad pre
pared and put through, naming the
Smith-Lever Farm Demonstration
Act and Cotton exchange regula
tion and the Market Bureau and
Warehouse Acts.
Senator Smith has never spared
himself in his earnest and zealous
support of all measures which
would be of value to his constitu
ents, and has never failed to < -
E ose those which he believed would
urden or injurs thorn.
