Graydon, of this city, took 8 his six year old daughter Mary to Atlanta H Wednesday to take the Pasteur treatment against rabbles, tbe child having been expos- l ed lo danger from a mad dog which belonged t to tbe lamlly. It seems that the little girl had stubbed her toe and in falling had made an abrasion of ' tbe skin over the knee. Tbe pet dog was al- 1 lowed to lick tbe soie. A little while after tbl*, suspicion was aroused as to tbe condition of the dog. The dog was killed, tbe bead , was sent to Atlanta, where experts pronounc- I d tbe dog rabbld. This alarmed Mr. and Mrs. Graydon. and tbey Immediately Bet off for Atlanta, carrying Mary with them. Tbe superintendent of tbe Pasteur institute gave examination and carefu 1 thought to tbe case. He said If the wound on tbe knee was In tbe same condition tbat It was then, a week after tbe occurrence, that there would be no dan- , ger, but as neither be nor the parents could tell the difference. If any, of tbe condition of lue wuuiiu. ud iuu.? that there whs not clanger. There might be * one chince In a thousand for the child to suf- ? fer, but be could not suy there was not dan- { ger. Mr. Graydon told the physician In charge that if there wan one chance In a mil- 1 Mod be would not take that cnance, and 80 8 directed the treatment o be given. Mrs. j Graydon, Mary's mother, is in Atlanta with , tier. Tweuty days are necessary for the c treatment. 1 Mr GrHydon was. Uli that there seemed to 8 be an epidemic of rabbles In South Carolina and Georgia. In the city of AtlaDta more I CHBeB bad been treated within the last three ( months than had betn treated in nine years l previously. The treatment alone costs $150. When in- 1 cldentuls are added the treatment runs up to 1 more than ?200. ( In view cf the alurmlng epidemic it seemB to us that it would be well to do with other Jogs as Mr. Graydon did wltB hi'?cut their heads off on suspicion, whether the heads were Bent to Atlanta or thrown on the scrap heap. In ease the owners of dogs do not care to cut the beads off of their dogs, it Is to be ' hoped that the city coudcII may take the matter in hand, and require the police to 1 shoot all dogs that appear on the streets without muzz es. Anybody's little child is worth I more than ail the dogs In town. And tbeD hese vagabond canines might go mad and bite an old batchelor or some little child's father. The father would have comebody tOj care lor mm, nui ming 01 me aepiorauiu oub(iltlOD o( an old bachelor U he should huppen to be bitten by semebodi's mad dog.

Do the right thing at the right time, i Act quickly in limes of danger. s Backache is kidney danger. i Doau's Kidney Pills act quickly. i Cire all distrepsing, dangerous kid- i r? c v i 11 j t Plenty of evidence to prove tbis. G. W. Erskin, 640 N. Fant street, Auderson, S. C.. says: "Several years ago the first symptoms of kidney trouble made tbeir appearance in my case. I began to bave pains in tbe small *of my back which gradually grew worse as time passed. I became so sore and lame that at times I could hardly stoop and if I did manage to do so, to straighten again caused me just as much misery. At times the kidneys were quite frequent in action and then again r could scarcely void them. Doan's Kidney Pills were finally brought to my attention and I procured a box. I used them according to directions and they cured me eo completely that I have had little or no trouble of the kind since. I hope others who t are bothered as I was will give I Doau's Kidney Pills a trial." < For sale by all dealers. Price 50 i cents.

The matron who appears before the members of the family in a shabby, soiled wrapper and makes the excuse'if indeed she takes the trouble to make one at all, that "it is so much more comfortable," has little idea of the possible consequenecs of such a course. Conld she but realize that her dress is an evil example to her daughters, and productive of consequences that will reach far beyond her own span ot lire; tnat ner Husband and sous c nnot fail to draw comparison between her dress and that of the ladies they meet in other bomes, and that these comparison cannot fail to decrease their respect for her, she might be induced to give more attention to her personal appearance, Not even the burden of care and constant employment can furnish a sufficient excuse for careless personal habits, for few things are more im. portant to the well-being of the family. There is an old saying to the effect that an untidy mother has disobedient children, and, while neither qarents or children may realize the wby or wherefore of it, yet there is always a lack of respect and an indifference to the authority of a mother who takes no pride in her personal appearance. ||And it is not the mother alone upon whose shoulders rests the respons ibility for home neatness and order iu dress; the father has bis duties to look after as well and should never fn 5 1 f a tnoiaf n nrm tha uni 1 n rrnr mnm. tail IV i"o?ow VUV J vuugvi UiVUJ' bers of the family presenting themselves with well kept hands, clean lfaces, neatly brushed hair, and ordery dress, at least at every meal where the family assembles.
