BETTER HEALTH
'DOG BITES
By Dr. W. J. Scholes
A dog bite is usually the cause of
some anxiety. It often involves the
question as to.wh.ether the dog is ra-
bid. Now the fact is that, although
a great many people are bitten by
dogs each year, hydrophobia is, com-
paratively rare. Few people, howev-
er, wish to take many chances with
dog bites. For it is well known that
hydrophobia is one of the diseases in
which prevention is far more 'effec-
tive than cure.
The muzzling of all dogs that run at
large is the best preventive. Next to
that is the efficient treatment of the
victims of dog bites. When bitten,
the first thing to do is to have a phy-
sician treat the wounds. The infec-
tious agent • of. rabies- is carried into
the wound in the, saliva of the dog. i tural changes in the joints cannot us -
The idea is to destroy the infection
before it can be absorbed. To accom-
plish this, all parts of the wound are
flushed out with an antiseptic solu-
tion and then thoroughly cauterized,,
Take Pasteur Treatment
Any suspicion as to .the condition
of the dog inflicting the wounds
should be an indication for taking the
Pasteur treatment, It should certain-
ly be taken if the dog is known to be
"road," or, if it acts sick or queer. If
the dog has been killed, as frequently
happens, a laboratory examination of
its brain will .usually snow whether or
not it was rabid.
The Pasteur treatment offers a ra-
ther certain •means ' of preventing hy-
drophobia, The material used in this
treatment is prepared from the ground
up -brain or spinal cord of rabbits
thathave been inoculated with rabies.
It is administered by hypodermic in
-
"faction. The injections are usually gi-
ven daily for three weeks.
The effect of the rabies vaccine,
(Pasteur treatment), is to produce an
immunity to hydrophobia. Three or
more weekselapse from the time one
is bitten by a rabid animal until symp-
tomsof hydrophobia develop. This
allows ample time for immunization.
It should be remembered that oth-
er mammals :than the dog are suscep-
tible to rabies, and may communicate
the disease to man by their bites.

Arthritis Deformans
Mrs, A. C; R. writes; "My mother
has a disease in which her fingers are
twisted out of shape and she has quite
a lot of pain at times. The doctors
call it `arthritis deformans.' She
sometin les has pain in her hip joints.
She has been treated for quite 'a
while but does not seem to get better.
IShe has been advised to go on a diet
without any meat. What causes ar-
thritis .deformans? Isthere any cure
!for it? Would she be better if she
didn't eat meat?" "
RePl.
Y.
I. The generallyaccepied modern
:idea is that arthritis deformans is due
to infection. The infection may be
lodged in the tonsils, at the roots of
teeth, in the bronchial tubes, • in the
gall -bladder, in the urinary system, or.
in the nasal sinuses.

Tomatoes. And Milk.
Mrs. M. E. McL, asks:"Is it harm-
ful for -a child el years old to drink
milk and eat tomatoes - at the sane
meal? It was told by a -lady who had
dinner with us that the acid of the to-
matoes would curdle' the "milk` in the
stomach."
Reply
Like most of the food combinations
that some people hold under suspic-
ion, this is a perfectly harmless one.
Even if the mills is curdled, its diges-
tibility is not interfered with. In old-
er children and in the adult, the 'hy-
drochloric acid of the gastric juice
normally curdles inilk as a part of the
process of digestion.

F. M. asks What can be put on

Reply
_Diluted ammonia water. A strong
solution of baking soda, or, spirits of
camphor.
Vaccination Against Typhoid
F. R. writes; "While I was in the
brmy I was inoculated against ty-
kihoid as all of the soldiers were. Does'
that protect nA against typhoid all
eny life? If not, how long is the pro-
tection supposed to last?"
Reply
Vaccination against typhoid affords
a relative immunity for at least two
years, probably three. If you plan to
go touring or camping this summer,
it would be well to be re -vaccinated.

become both smaller and lighter than

'you?" said the Editor. "Well that's
too bad." And he went his way. The
next morning Mr. Greeley met his

said Mr. Greeley, "for, I just came

running,- the clerks were as busy as
ever, the compositors were hard at
work, and the business was going on
the same as yesterday and the day
before." "Oh," ejaculated the: sub-

Least' enough stock tosupple the needs of

That the history of the agricultural
adversities in the north-western
regions of the United States is full
of .significance for the farmers of
western Canada is shown in an
article by Marquis James in a re-
cent edition of ' the "New York
Times." In 1917, 1918 and 1919,
writes Mr.: names, there were in the
Dakotas, Montana and Minnesota,
thee complete crop failures in sue -
cession which had deplorable eco-
nomic effects and • produced some-
thing like a panic in the three states
primarilyconcerned. But,continues
he writer,whis misfortune
ehad one
desirable result in that it pointed out
to the farmers themselves and to the
country at large the value of mixed
farming, as compared to the one
crop methods which had obtained up
to that time, The depression demons-
trated the necessity for a change in
farming methods and in adopting a
policy of more extensive and erten-
give general or diversified farming,
Mr, James believes that the North
western States solved their problems.
For a time, says Mr. James, prior
to the large suceessive failures, the
wheat growers enjoyed a period of
uninterrupted prosperity. They were
wheat -growers, but not all of them
were farriers, In an official survey
by oallinge of the inhabitants of
the bench country, one finds in
one township, Cobblers, bookkeepers,
actresses, a school -teacher,
secretaries, dentists, motormen and
soda -water disperisere—not pttretting
their regular vocations, but farm-
ing, or, perhaps, it is better to say
growing wheat. They were snaking
.money, too, because from 1012' to
1016 there was a phenomenal rain-
fall in that western section and the
gesiefeMe
Statir
wheat yields were astonishing.
People thought this would last for
ever. They even though the rain-
fall would, last. The story one hears
in so many new countries was res
seated and believed that the "break-
ing" and cultivation cif the native
sod works a permanent increase in
the precippitation. Government weath-
er records fail to supportthis con-
tention. But this and many other
things were lost sight of in the hey-
day of the boom in the United States'
Middle West. Land values soared,
Everybody:, had money. Credit was
too free. Over expansion followed.
Then descended the threecrop
,failures in a row -1917, 1018 and
1919, The previously guests rain-
fall dropped off and the 109.day
farming methods were not equal to
the oceasion. The country was in
a desperate "fiat. Bank had to. lend
More morloy after each failure to en-
able the farmer to" put in anther
crop in the hope that the proceed -
Inge would covet earlier, ae Well as
current loans, The crop of 1,020 ale()
failed. Thottsa'nds of settlers left
and one bank in every three in Mon,
taiia failed„
The same situation existed in
modified form over the Dakotas and
Minnesota, but the older localities
had reserves to fall back on.
It is easy to be wise after the
event and the moral to the above
IS that there has been a turnaver
not only in farmingg methods but
farmers. The 100 -day wheat farmerin
-•-the dentists and soda clerks—have
largely given place to agrieulturists
of the 365 -day a year variety. Wheat
is still the° main money crop, but it
s grown scientifically. Land is sum -
past -followed and worked before and
after Planting. Wheat acreages are
everywhere d punishing and eroes
are rotated and diversified. Rye,
millet, alfalfa and flax have been in-
troduced; dairy and beef herds estab-
belied; Poultry, bees and vegetable
gardens cultivated, Thu, when
wheat falls, as it sonietinnes must,
there is soniething`else to fall back
upon. This `lesson. has not been lost
in Canada.Partners of .the Cana.
