Three Hundred Cases of Rabies I
Treated Already This Year
Presented as Argument.
,
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
The State Board of Health will urge
upon the incoming Legislature, to
directly as it may, the great desir
ability of a dog-muzzling law m
Georgia.
The board is realizing that it i«
somewhat difficult to enact any sort
of legislation having to do with dog s
in this State, nnd lo mak« that leg
islation effective after it has been
enacted. Still, when the people ar*-
made to understand, if they can bo
made to understand, that an enforced
dog-muzzling law would In three
\ ears rid Georgia of all danger of
rabies, and that already this year
the department has treated at the
« apitol well over three hundred cases
of this dreadful disease, the board be
lieves the l*egi Mature may be brought
to see the very great desirability, if
not absolute necessity, of such ;>
law.
A dog-muzzling law will be of
fered in the Legislature and it wlil
be vigorously backed, not only by
health boards and doctors throughout
the Slate, but by several influential
members. The State Board of Health
feels that the mere muzzling of dogs,
entailing some possible discomfort up
on them, as it may, still is infinite
\ preferable to an ever-increasing
ist of patient® to be treated for rab
ies.
Dog tax laws always have been
unpopular in Georgia, and those that
have been passed never have been en-
.fnrved. The dogs seems to have plenty
of friend® in Georgia -even the "ynl-
ler" curs and ‘‘flop-eared’' hound® of
the more rural persuasion.
Tf the State Board of Health can
gucceed in showing conclusively
however, that the dogs are getting
to be. year by year, a more ami more
deadly peril to the people, and par
ticularly to children—for they com
pose by far the greater portion of the
patients treated the chances are that
some effective legislation may be ob
tained during the forth' ming sum
mer session.
And, anyway, the board has every
it tention of putt ing th< matter up co
the General Assembly, fairly and
s jtiarely.
A member-elect of the incoming
Legislature has prepared two com
panion bills for the General Assem
bly's early consideration, both of
«h • i i f fai -reaching ronsoqueiic,
and assured of strong support.
• One bill will provide for a een-
'r.a 1 point of execution for crime in
aj'ital cases —probubh at Milledge-
ville- and the other will provide for
the substitution of the electric chair
l«n the gallows.
Both bills are thought to have ex-
< client chances of passing the next
Legislature.
Elaborate arrangements are under
way, looking to the sumptuous onter-
•nlninent of Josephus Daniels, of
North Carolina. Secretary <>f (he
Navy when he visits Savannah on or
about May 10.
It is planned to give him a banquet
at the De Soto Hotel, to which a hun
dred or more prominent South Geor
gians will be invited. The Secretary
will be asked to deliver an address at
thi® dinner, and to discuss particu
larly the navy and its possible rela
tion to Savannah, a ad tiu < ust cities
of Georgia.
Tlie Macon Telegraph should worry
nhd get a wrinkle, for this is the lat
est obsession it is entertaining:
"There is a duty of 45 cents a gal
lon on grape juice under the Pay no-
Mdrich law and it is retained in the
Cnoerwbod bill, but If it is to become
a fashionable drink, it will have to
go on the free list as a necessary of
!fe.'
The Moniicello News thinks the
next Legislature can increase tin
State’s available funds for appro
priations to its various institutions
by abolishing a few job® around end
about.

Mr. Awtry is leaving the Uarleton

While Colonel Johnson was enjoy

The Railroad Commission will ask
the Legislature for authority to or
der the erection of union passenger
stations in cities and towns in Geor
gia, where, in the opinion of the com
mission, the conditions make such
stations desirable and necessary to
the accommodation of the traveling
public.
The commission now has authority
to order the erection of separate sta
tions, but it lias no authority what
ever in the matter of compelling
union station®.
The Lavonlu Times refers to hi n
as "Commissioner of Agriculture

If the Commissioner now is able
to establish the fact that he was
born on the 17th of St. Patrick’s Day,
he would seem to have the Irish vote

ms EYES TODAY
Quarter Century’s Progress Has
Transformed World of the
Workingman.
By B. C. FORBES, Business Editor.
In the nev. issue of Hearst’s Maga
zine I picture a Rip Van Winkle
workman opening his eyes after
sleep of a quarter of a century or
lea* There is s<» much discontent, so
much* pessimism hanging like a black
pall over the land to-day that it may
not be untimely to reproduce an ex
tract here:
Picture in your mind a Rip Vau
Winkle workman opening hi® eyes on
the world of to-day after a sleep of
a quarter of »» century or lees. What
would he behold? What changes
would strike him? Would he be able
to believe his eyes?
• * *
When lie fell asleep- nay 25 years
ago he and hi® clas® were slaving
from early morning to darkness every
day. with no thought of half-holidays
or fortnight vacations. They lived in
house® that were, outwardly, hovels
and enriched with no bath rooms, no
hot-und-cold water systems, no hy
gienic contrivances such as we know
to-day. The world beyond a few miles
from thtfr doorsteps w as an unopened
book; travel for sightseeing was un
known.
Places of amusement were few and
far between, and the ordinary worker
seldom had either the time or the
money to patronize them. The one
problem about clothes was how to tin 1
enough to cover nakedness and keep
warm in winter. Education was well-
nigh beyond the reach of the poor.
* * *
Our Rip Van Winkle workman
would stare In bewilderment at mod
ern sights and conditions anti listen
with Incredulity to the tales he would
be told.
• • *
Ho would see workers living in
comfortable, even pretentious, homes,
adorned with-appliances and conven
iences Hitch as only the wealthy as
pired to when he fell asleep. He would
see them wearing clothing that a mil
lionaire might have envied in his day
hail there been millionaires then. H
would see public schools tit every turn
and every child from f> to 13 or more
attending dally, with no tasks (save
In rare cases) beyond their lessons.
(in all sides theaters would met
his gaze, drawing their hundreds and
their thousands of Amusement-seek
ers nightly. Of sights and wonders
beyond Ido home and even beyond
the seas he would hear fairylike
tales from people who had seen them
with their own eyes.
Most of all would the changed lot ol
the worker, the transformation In con
ditions of toll. Impress him.
Instead of a twelve and fourteen
hours’ day l.e would hear of eight or
nine hours’ days' of demands that
these hours be further reduced, and
that every hour over eight he palj
for at a special high rate.
• * •
His head would buz* with descrip
tions of ingenious plans designed to
better the life of tils fellows. He
would b' told of old-age pensions, of
profit-sharing plans, of sick benefits,
of workmen’s compensation laws, of
minimum wage scales voluntarily*
granted.
He would learn of co-operative,
cost-price stores for corporation em
ployees, of recreation halls, dining
rooms, and libraries attached to large
factories and workshops, of free hos
pitals, of weekly half-holidays and
regular summer vacations, of extra
pay for every hour of overtime, of
occasional bonuses at Christmas and
princely gifts from retiring or -de
ceased employers.
He would tlnd trades unions ready
at any moment to throw down the
gauntlet to an over-reaching firm or
corporation, of laws providing for
sanitary work places and safety de-
\ lees at danger spots, of technical
classes and schools organized b>
leading corporations for the Instruc
tion of ambitious youths, and of in
numerable Instances of humble lads
having risen to the topmost places
of industry and railroading, displac
ing the ornamental sons of gifted
fathers, hlrth being no longer a guar
antee of high position in the world
of business.

Emancipation 1® not complete-
fur. very far. from it. There are still
many wrong® to be righted. many
. purities to be banished, many dark
places to be lighted. The curse of
, hiUi Urbor still blots our escutcheon.

will be productive of good result® in
connection with Jury reform, Presi
dent Wilson returned* to Washington
early to-day and at once went to the
White House, where he attacked a
large amount ef routine work which

one of the incidents of the trip
which afforded the President much
satisfaction and which did not become
known until to-day was his meeting
in New York with National Chairman
William P. McCombs and Secretary
McAdoo of the Treasury Department,
at the home of Colonel E. M. House.
It was the first time that Chairman
McCombs and Secretary Mc Adoo, who
was vice chairman, had met since the
early days of the campaign. Differ
ences of opinion a® to the manage
ment of the campaign were said *0
have existed between the two men,
though their relations with Mr. Wil
son were always of a warm cordiality.

Brooklyn, Nov. 1, 1912.—"At iirst
little red spots were seen on my
arms and body, which I noticed
were getting larger every day.
They itched me so much that I
scratched myself until I bled.
There were times when 1 stood up
all night and scratched. I was
troubled about three weeks, during
which time I used . which
seemed to do me no good what
ever. Then. Anally, I thought of
trying Resinol Soap and Resinol
Ointment. As soon as 1 applied
Resinol Ointment I felt much re
lief. After using it a fe\v times.
I noticed the sore spots slowly
fading away, and in about a month
