Jacks Just as Male and Hear
ty as Ever, Declares
/ "U" Bacteriologist

Z. V. Parker. bacteriologist of the
North Dakota university in charge of
the State Health Laboratory station
at Minot, says that jackrabbits in that
section of, the stats are no infected
with tuberculosis. iNy ~
Curious to learnsstfS. there. was any
truth in the reportS4concerning the
jacks, Mr.. Parker secured fourteen
jack-rabbits from hunters who shot
ough examination he. declared they
were not infected. However, out Of
the fourteen Mr.. Parker found two
with parasites in the form of watery
glands, mostly in the hind legs.
Mr.. Parker said that these parasites
do rot impair the general health of
the rabbits and are like many that are
found on many other animals eaten
for food.
''The process Of cooking destroys
the germs" said Mr.. Parker, land
the glands can easily be seen by the
naked eye and pulled u while the
rabbits are being dressed. j have
cen many jackrabbits' with similar
watery glands, but never gave it a
thought until ] read of reports that
the rabbits had tuberculosis. Even If
the rabbits were infected with tuber-
culosis. which they are not, the pro-
cess of cooking would destroy the
germs and render the meat fit to eat"
After hearing Of the alleged bad
condition of the Jacks many persons
in the vicinity Of Minot deprived
themselves Of the sport Of hunting the
fieet-footed creatures, and it was
mainly due to that fact that Mr.. Park
Ell made a careful analysis of the RAD
bits condition.
DIR. Ray of Garrison. N. d., was re-
Gently quoted as saying that the jack
rabbits were infected with tuberculo-
sis. The doctor is reported to have
said that elf the shooters realized the
condition of the rabbits they would re-
frain from converting them into

We wish to express our thanks to
the many friends of the Tennessee
Orphan Home for their kindness In
remembering them Xmas and making
it possible for us to give them the
best Xmas tree they have ever had.
We would be glad to thank you all
personally, but this being impossible
with the many duties we have before
us we take this method Of thanking
you through The Herald. 1t makes
our burdens lighter to have so many
noble souls regardless of church or
denomination, to think of us in our
work and to see the good cheer the
little hearts have been filled with as
the result of your liberality. We
only wish you could have been with
us and seen the happy souls of the
sixty children that were with. us and
were SO delighted with the appear,
ance of Santa Claus on the night OF
the oath. We have with us many
children every Xmas who have never
before had Santa visit them and
their souls take on new life and ev'
erything looks so much brighter to
them after they see the good Spirit
that is abroad In the land. Again
we thank you, and assure you that we
take pleasure in fulfilling our duties
in our work, having the feeling that
SO many are our helpers in this work
of child training and character build
ing. We wish all our friends a hap

BRADLEl SCENE
/. STRANGE ERUPTION
SMOKE ISSUING FROM FiSSURE
AT THE BASE OF THE
MOUNTAIN.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. l.
Residents of Bradley county in the
vicinity of White Oak mountain, are
excited over sulphurius smoke and
fumes which have been appearing
from a assure at the base Of the
mountain since the day following
Christmas. Men with picks and SHOW
els have been digging in the earth at
this point to determine the source Of
the strange fire, but so far have been
met only by an intense heat that still
is unexplained. S. B. Copper, prom
inent citizen living near the noun
tain, is authority for the statement
that rocks taken from the scene Of
the apparent volcanic eruption burn
and give off sulphurious odor when
placed on wood fire.
