eeived ID much less than the value Of the
time we put into the work If we do our
duty or even try to do it. The work is
primarily to try to educate the communi-
ty as to what the law is. First, the
health officer should know what the laws
are that govern us and by which we have
authority to do what is expected of us.
/ dc. not pretend to be conversant with
all the laws that govern rs, yet think /

Of the health officers with whom 1 have
come in contact while trying to do my
duty.
Gas we go about abating nuisances or
issuing notices or releasing cases from
quarantine, we should do our duty with
the dignity which belongs to the office
we hold and then We shall be sure that
our work is respected. We make enc
mics, but We should be fearless no mat
ter whether tbs trouble is in our own
family or that Of our next door neighbor.
Very often when we are obliged to quar-
antine family we lose that family, if we
are practising physicians, but we have to
be cool and level-headed and never get
out OF patience with the people whom we
meet. And unless they wilfully disobey
US, We should educate them rather than
prosecute them.

BIG MONEY In
EASTERN SHO' RATS
TTappeFs There Will Rescue
$500, 900 For PeItS This
Year

The trappers Of the Eastern Shore of
Maryland will receive nearly s5OO.O0O
this season for muskrat skins. In Dor
chester county alone trappers have been
paid 100000 for this seasons pelts,
to say nothing Of what they received
from the sale Of the meat. this alone
more than paying the rental Of the
marshes, the cost Of the traps and the
expense Of looking after them.
One fur buyer Of Hooper's Island. in
lower Dorchester, has paid out $4,000
for musSrat hides this season, while
others have bought almost as heavily.
The prices offered by buyers this sea-
son ranged from 30 to 75 cents a hide,
the hide from the kitten, or young rat,
which had heretofore been considered
almost worthless, bringing the former
price.
Black Fur the Finest.
The big black rat commanded TIA
top Of the market always, the black
fur being considered the finest as well
as the most durable The fur Of the
brown rat is less valuable because of
The color and coarseness Of the hair
II generally brings from 10 to 20 cents
less than the fur of the black rat
There are few sections Of the United
States where the meat of the muskrat
is used as food as IL is here on the
Eastern Shore Of Maryland. In many
sections of the country the little ro-
dent is looked upon with disdain by
those who claim to know a good thing
when they see IT, but when they talk
OF it as being an umclean animal and
unfit for the table they show how
little they know of this, the cleanest
of all animals that live.
The majority of people are preju-
diced against the muskrat because II
bears the name Of rat. BY any other
name It would eagerly be sought after
by epicures. The roots and herbs oi
