DR.. M'COMAS ADDRESSES
THE ROTARY FRIDAY NIGHT
Disease determination Basis of
Talk-Reviews Accomplish
ments and Future Hope

The determination of disease, what
has been done and what can be done
to attain this much sought after end,
were brought out last Friday evening
by DR.. Henry W. McComas, president
of the local Rotary Club before the
weekly meeting of that organization
at the William-Ja Hotel.
DR.. McComas' address was in keep
ing with the general program of win
ter talks that are being given by the
various members of Rotary on their
business or profession. His address
follows:
Some have insisted that Shakes
peare must have been physician for
the reason that he shows such knowl-
edge of medicine, of the symptoms of
disease and death; because he was so
familiar with the brain and with in
sanity in all its forms. l do not think
that he was physician-he knew too
much. His congratulations were too
splendid. He had none of the preju-
dices of the profession in his time.
If you are SO foolish as to make
yourself sick, that would certainly be
laudable enterprise and the physi-
clan would thrive beyond the thrift
of the butcher, baker or banker.
| If medicine were a business and the
medical profession were trust, the
plague, cholera, smallpox and diphthe-
ria would be rife and feeding fat the
doctors wallet. But one by one the
medical men have learned the cause of
the disease and applied the means of
prevention.
Smallpox, while not scourge of the
first rank, like the plague or cholera
at the outset of the nineteenth cen
fury, variloa was one of the most
prevalent and dreaded diseases of that
period. Few reached adult life with
out an attack. Today, though out
breaks occur, it is disease thorough
ly controlled by vaccination The pro-
tective power of the inoculated cow
pox is not fixed and constant quail
ity. The protection may be for life, or
it may last only for year or two.
The all important fact is this, that
efficiently vaccinated persons may be
exposed with impunity and among
large bodies of men (the German
army for instance, in which revacci-
nation is practiced), smallpox is not
known.
In one hundred vaccinated persons
exposed to smallpox, possibly one
might take the disease in a mild
form; of one hundred unvaccinated
persons SO exposed, one alone might
escape, and from twenty-five to thirty
would die.
To be efficient, vaccination must be
carried out Systematically, and if all
the inhabitants Of this country were
revaccinated at intervals smallpox
would disappear as it has from the
German army and the necessity for
vaccination would sease. The difficulty
arises from the constant presence of
an unvaccinated remnant by which the
disease is kept alive.

Oakland High School Notes.

Parents, are your children study
ing? Now is the time to see what
your children are doing. Are they
studying two hours outside of school
every day? This is necessary for the
success of the child and for satisfac-
tory work in the school room. If your
children are not passing work, find out
the reason now. In June it will be too
late.

LATE MAIL.

Uncle Sam has done as much as is
humanely possible to insure delivery
of Christmas packages and mail be-
fore Christmas this year. And to
those few tardy ones who will not get
their mail to the postoffice until on
Christmas eve, the Mountain Echo
has no sympathy.
The government has gone so far as
to send out literature on the "prepara-
ton for Christmas mailing" The
rules are brief and simple, and may be
summed up in the phrase, "Do your
mailing early"
The suggestions posted by the local
postmaster are given below in concise
form:
Wrap securely.
Certain articles should be specially
prepared for shipment.
Special delivery stamps should be
used for perishable articles and "Per-
ishable" should be written on the
package.
Addresses MUST be complete and
should bear return address.
Early mailing. During the holidays
the mail increases 200 per cent and
the ordinary force finds it difficult to
handle this unusual excess. Packages
should be mailed at least ten days be-
fore Christmas, and Christmas cards
should be mailed two or three weeks
in advance! They may be endorsed:
"Please do not open until Christmas. "
Valuable mail should always be in
sured or registered.
The rules are clear and easy to I'M
derstand. And there will be rs per
cent of the people who will fail to
comply and who will cuss out the local
postmaster, Harry S. New and Calvin
Coolidge on Christmas morning.

Rabbit Clinic For White Spots.

year seem to be suffering from "tula-
renlia," or white spots on the liver,
which disease may be contracted by
human beings who handle them, Scoop
has decided to have clinic conducted
on Saturday, December 8. All rabbits
who think that they have this disease
will be examined free of charge by
"Doc" Melody, veteran veterinarian of
Oakland and who is now located at
Uniontown, Pa. Doc Melody comes
here at considerable expense which
is being borne exclusively by T. r.
Any rabbits, upon examination, that
are found with defects will be pre-
scented with sign which may be hung
on their cotton-tail to warn hunters.
In this way Scoop thinks county
physicians will not be "snowed under"
with rabbits livers and requests to
examine them and see if they are dis
eased, and he also feels that in this
way, with the signs exposed by the re-
treating rabbits that an unnecessary
number of gunshots at the unfortunate
rabbits suffering from this disease
will be averted.
Nobody wants to shoot white-liver-
ed rabbits nohow, according to Garrett
county's veteran hunters-Jim Pain
ter, Bill Browning and various others
who have arrived at the age to be-
come veterans. Don't forget the date,
rabbits, Saturday, December 8, at the
Court House lawn.
Just So No Cows Fly.
Fowls will be loosed from the top of
the First National Bank building at
about three o'clock on Tuesday, De-
cember 6, the afternoon of the COM
munity sales day, according to an ar
ticle appearing in this sheet last week.
Outside of the fact that two people
might get hold of the same Chicken"
and cause "shootin", there shouldn't
be much danger.
Scoop is certainly glad that they
don't expect to shoe cows off the roof
instead of chickens.

Omission Number Two.
Scoop was omitted last week for
the second time, but this time it was
Scoops own fault. He didn't write
anything, and anyway he knew if he
did write, there wouldn't be room for
it, so he never bothered.
What causes that? Well, there
wasn't room for anything in last
weeks issue of T. R. when the annual
financial statement of Garrett county
had been put in the columns. And be-
sides, it was Thanksgiving and Scoop
had to go to see his dear old Alma
Mater lick Wash-Jeff at Morgantown,
but why bring that up? Needless to
say, with the appearance of Scoop
again the readers of The Republican
will forget all about last week.
"Such a paper as last week." said
the boss yesterday, "makes pay day
possible" and Scoop has reason to be-
lieve this statement, for he participant
