Columbia, February 16.?Special: Dogs infected with rabies have bitten 3,037 South Carolinians during the past eleven years and thirteen citizens of the State have died from hydrophobia during the same period, according to the statistics of the bureau of vital statistics of the State Board of Health. Dr. Asbury Coward and his assist ants at the State laboratory have treated 234 dog-bitten patients sine*. 1909 and 2,803 patients hive been given treatment at their homes, all having been inoculated wth germs from rabies-infected canines or some other "mad" animal. The most striking example of this menace was 38 child< ren being treated in the State labora' tory in the spring of 1910, all having been bitten by the same dog. There is an economic side to the "mart" rino- rmftstion. too. Said I>r. Coward to-day in discussing the situation. Of the persons treated at home the cost to them and their families was $140,150, ad those given the Pasteur treatment in Columbia cost the State o? South Carolina $17,354. During the period the State laboratory has evamied the heads of 2,133 animals for the rabies, and of these 1,353 showed positive tests and 780 negative tests. Among the animals examined and found to have been "mad" were dogs, cats, sheep, mules, cows, goats and demesticated wild animals. Rabies statistics show that since 1909 there has been an ascending and descending scale of the number of patients given the Pasteur treatment. In 1909 there were 27 patients treated; in 1910 and 1911 there were 114, respectively; 1912 there were 147; in 1913 treatment was-given to 316; in 1914. to 286: in 1915. to 247; in 1916, ' ' I to 399; in 1917, to 552; in 191S to 465, and in 1919, to 374. Four deaths from hydrophobia, the largest number in any one year, occurred in 1913. Dr. Coward commended the efforts of the South Carolina Landowners* Association to have an adequate dog control law passed by the General Assembly, claiming that it was one of the real legislative needs of the State, not only from a health but an economic point of view. He said that he coincided with the view taken by the development association, that there ! could be no real sheep-raising industry fostered in South Carolina and that the health of the people would be menaced as long as the vagrant dog would be allowed to run at large.

The Bible in the Public Schools is a theme appealing- both to patriotism and religion. It looks both earthward and heavenward as part of a program for civic improvement. The varying beliefs as to inspiration do not justify the exclusion of that Book (whjch has more than all other books contributed to the worlds betterment and civilization) from the public schools, that nlace where above all other plac es of a public character influences and impressions the most lasting arc made. And even the varying interpretations of sacred writ ought not to militate against its introducion in the program of the schools since the admitted, formal plan is to have read well selected passages of the scriptures without any denominational coloring or teaching. But an early familiarity with the Scriptures through the agency of the schools cannot fail of beneficent and far-reaching results. As literary forms and models of expression the sacred books are unsurpassed?they are rich with a tone at once uplifting and purifying. The mind of childhood cannot come into contact with such exalted thought without finding an incentive to nobler and better effort. Does some one argue that a mere, form will yield but lit+lA nntPrt influence uuon the youth of our land?that more is needed than a merely formal scriptural readig whether by the scholars in unison or by a leader. We beg tc claim that such reading will not be without a most wholesome influence It will serve to direct the attention of youth if not to enlist their interest toward the best literaure-the besl code of laws and the highest realm ol morals the world has e\er known What may seem to be a mere form a tthe first will abide r> awaken independent interpretation and furnish food fov thought in the latcr-maturer years. And so such mental discipline will not bo without avail in the whole course of life. Pasages of scripture will be remembered that have bee" reiterated in the curricula of the schools and will prove a valuable asset in the formation of character Scientific, literary and historical date as interesting as they may be wil not bei nteresting enough to wholh obliterate from mind and heart those lessons from Holy Writ obtained ir the years spent in the Public Schools Citizen. ? o o BOTH FOOLED.

The Paris Academy of Medicine is so impressed by the effects of high heels upon the health of women, that it has made an appeal to the public to end this injurious fashion.
