Think Before You Spend.
If you raw a girl working on a:
Blank and knew that the mask might
mve a noldirr'n life, you would not
toll that girl to stop the work and
make you a new hat.
If you «a« a man at n lathe turning!
up a shell to be used in France, you
■wouldn't say: "Stop that lathe, take
out that shell and repair my auto
mobile."
Yet, that in what you do when you
thoughtlessly spend your money,—
you use up freight "pace, take the
labor of men. claim products of farm i
or mine or factory- «I1 needed hy the
Government. Think before you spend.

Rabies la on* or tit* oldest known
diseaaes, and a grn*! description wan
written by Galen in the second cen
tury after (Thrift, but 500 years earl
ier—Aristotle and others made ref
erence to it. Compared to tubercu
losis, pneumonia, plague, etc., it has
always been rare, but in spite of this
it ha* always had a great influence
nn the human imagination. This i*|
perhaps due to its peculiar method of
transmission, its long period of lat
ency, and to the violent symptom* and
uniformly fatal ending. At any rale
whatever the explanation, it ha.-, al-,
way* been connected with superatilu-'
tion and a mass of misinformation.
There is no longer excuse for this,,
scientific knowledge of rrbies is far i
more complete than that of the great
majority of diseases. Wc know the j
infecting agent, how it i# transmit-,
ted, and bow it may be prevented—
levei-theles* the superstitions flour
ish.
For instance, the belief in the ma.I
<tone is still far from extinct. Only.
t few days ago a child wan brought
to me with s mad *t!>ne tied 'js hir'
srcn, ami while I was examining thci
wound another child came in a'-oj
with a mad store on hi. arm. O.ie
white child and one colored—the one'
mad stone was a piere of ?halo, tile
jther a piece of soap stone. I have1
leen mad stores composed of bits of
broken crockery, several time* of
pumice stone, and I believe ball stones
ire also favorite*. A harmless'ruper
•tition is that buzxard* will not eat'
the body of a rabid animal.
Rabies is an infectious disease—!
Lhat is, a diwiw cau-wd by a living
irganism, and it in contracted only by
inoculation. The infecting material1
must enter thru a break in the skin.
The (Term, i* not a bacterium, but a
protozoan, similar in size and fhape'
to the malaria parasite. After in-1
nculation it travels only by way of
the nerve trunks—i.«t by way of the
blood. It caur.ec no symptoms until
it reaches the nerve cells, which it
destroys. The symptoms vary con
siderably, depending on the amount
and character of the brain injury.
There is urually a restlessness, a
change of disposition paralysis sooner
or later, and invariably death. Not
all dogs have inclination to bite—pos
sibly only fifty per cent of dogs, and a
smaller per cent of horses and cats
Cattle and hogs are often very vio
lent, but do not bite. Human beings
never bite, they are asually conscious
thruout, but the symptoms are very
distressing and there is great suffer
ing.
Rabies exlsta in all climates and in
all seasons of the year, being slightly
more' prevalent in the spring thaw in
other seasons.
It is important to bear in mind that
there ii no such thing as spontaneous
rabies. The rabiea germ origirates
from the parent just as the dog, the
oak tree or man himself originates
from hi* parents. As the germ ran
only get a foothold when inoculated
the sure is simple. It U to prevent
rabid animals from biting. There la
little danger from horses, cat* and
wild animal a, and if It were not for
the dog it la evident that the diaeaae

Hoz* Need Pastures.
West Raleigh. N. C„ July IB.—Be
there is a sceadily increasing
thortage of alt kind* of pr< tei.i feiti*
it is absolute'? necessary that both
permanent and temporary pastures
be supplied if hoc raising is to tie a
profitable enterprise.
In a letter being sent out by the
Office of Beef Cattle ami Sheep, Mr.
&>rl Hostetler calU attention to the
fact that it u now almost urpossible
to obtain a good grade of shorn or
middling* and that tinkage and oil'
meal are high in price an ! difficult to j
obtain.
home wheat products may be eas-,
ier to obtain after the present crop is
harvested, but it in ^doubtful if they j
will become mo. h cheaper in price, j
There is a new pro.-ei.i hog fxxl
known as fish meal, which is being
used to nme extent, but it is yet in■
the experimental stage, and is not
recommended by the Office. Soybean
meal and peanut meal are very satis
factory. but they are very hard to
get, also at a reasonable price.
This bHng* the question down to
the fact that permanent and tempor
ary pastures must be supplied. Uyt
furnishing a large amount of grazing
can l«e grown over the entire State,
that produces valuable pork cheaply.
Rape, soybeans, velvet beans, vetch,
clo*<tr, and a number of other related
crops may be easily grown in most
sections of the State, and may be uti
lized for hog pasture.
Mr. Hostetler sounds the warning
that those who intend to go into the
matter of' hog raising or those who
are already in the business, should
make provision for them by planting
these pasture crops in reason.

•Gneral March uid organization of

France were proceeding at the name
astonishing rate that ha* been the
rule for the last three month*, made
the American military program clear. |
Each contain* from 225.0(H) to,

The rate of transportation of troops 1
for July, General March said, was
keeping up with previous months.
More than 90,000 troops were trans

With American Force* in Frince,
July 14.—O. all the American front*

joined their French comrades in en

with flags of >11 the alliec.
Slower* t>u- morning fa '.cd to keep

That this war is more than a con
