see that they eat none of the larval stages of the various tape- 

 worms. In this respect it must be stated that the livestock owners 

 shouM not allow the offal from slaughtered or dead animals to 

 be eaten by dogs, unless cooked. These things must be carried out 

 in the interests of public health as well as for the health of our 

 dom.estic animals. 



In this connection it is advisable to bear in mind that the free- 

 dom allowed certain of the doss and cats should be restricted and 

 at the same time their unwarranted associations and familiarities 

 with their master's family, especially children, should by all means 

 be curtailed. The fact must not be overlooked that dogs and cats 

 are not persons. Consequently, restrictions upon their liberties not 

 on'y safeguards their welfare in regard to parasitic infestations and 

 infectious diseases, but also protects their master's families and 

 indirectly safeguards the health of the public as well as that of 

 the domestic animals.
