Every dog o\\·ner is advised, to put it mildly, to mttzzle his dog and keep him tnuzzled until he has been inoculated a g- a i n s t rabies hy a I i c c n s r d yeterinarian. Prevent Loss Dogs must either be of Life muzzled or immunized by a licensed Yet. The reason is obvious. If a child is bitten by a tnad dog the child "·ill ahnost certainly die. A tnad dog by biting a well dogcan comnntnicate his madness, thus spreading the dread disease. Dogs don't like muzzles. l\1 uzzle a dog and he immediately takes steps to get rid of the irritating thing. A human being would do the same thing. But to prevent loss of human life the spread of rabies must he prevented. Fortunately there is a better way of accomplishing this than the usc of tnuzzles. Get the dog inoculated against rabies. Immunize him. If you are a dog o\\'ner the sooner ,-ou have your animal immunized the better for all concerned.

Why is there no breakfast cereal having a song in every seed or fiber? A household f.o r whom such magic food was provided would surely be a most happy household. making the home atmosphere vocal with cheerful ditties.
