DOG OONTROIi iiAW
ASKED OF LEGISLATURE.
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.

ADMITTING THE BIBLE.
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

Narrow, pointed boots and high
heels are the authors of hammer toes,

backaches, eye strain and nervous irritability.
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.

1,149 people were killed and over 4,000
