"Wo moat remember that many hundreds of thoassnds of dollars are invested la dogs la those villages and that these dogs are loved by owners, who will rise up in agatoat any measure they believe to bo unfair to tho dogs. It Is not neces- sary that measures to control rabies should be unfair to the dogs. The dogs themselves will benefit far more from the eradication of rabies than anyone else, because they are the chief sufferers. To my mind, these regulatIons should be designed for the protection of the canine population and should Include a control of rabies only as other diseases are controlled. This would accomplish sll from a hu- mane sundpolnt that can be accom- plished by any regulation and would be In thorough accord with the wishes and have the heartiest support of dog owners and dog lovers everywhere. The doctor wss ssked what he con- sidered as the first requisite In mess- ures for the control of rsbies, to which he answered: "That, I believe, should be a disposal of the stray dogs. At the present time every dog In the city not confined all of the time Is menaced by these pa- riahsâ€"homeless, ownerless mongrels who eke out s miserable existence from garbage cans, the natural habitat of fleas and lice, the reservoir of dis- temper and the chief spreaders of rabiesâ€"wandering our streets uncon- trolled. They attack other dogs fre- quently and rarely children and other persons. They are a constant danger to the dogs of the city who have homes snd whose owners care for them and who certainly deserve pro- tection st the hands of the authorities from this class of animals. Have No Champions. "With the elimination of the stray dogs, we would do away with most of the rsbies and lessen most of the other diseases of dogs too. They can have no champion who really under- stands their condition, and the hu- mane disposal of them is certainly an end to be desired. "A second necessity is the super- vision of all dogs In the city, and this means a registration of the dog so that the dog and bis owner may be identified at any time and at any place. "Then there Is the muzzling regula- tion. This bar* been discussed so much that It seems a waste of words to consider it further. Stfll there are some advantages to muzzling thst I have not seen mentioned In the Evans- ton papers. Most people do not real- ise how many dogs are maimed In Evanston and North Shore cities every week by fighting. Our place here is seldom free from dogs wounded In this way. and many dogs are killed by vicious dogs. We hear much said about the destructlveness of the auto- mobile to dogs, but It is an actual fact that we are called on week In and week out to treat more doga maimed by fighting than those maimed by automobiles.
