RABBITS WITH DISEASED
LINERS SEEM TO Be SCARCE
Health Department Issues Warn
ing-LOcal Hunter Says Rab-
bits Always Had Small Spots

No further reports concerning the
diseased livers of rabbits (white
spots on that organ) have been re-
ceived, according to DR.. Henry w. Nc
Comas, health officer.
One veteran sportsman of Garrett
county is quoted as having said that
the rabbits of this section, and pre-
sumably of other sections, always had
the little white spots on their livers
and which are being taken into ac-
count so much in the present day.
1t has been reported, however, that
several of the animals shot had livers
seriously diseased and containing pus
in quantities. No cases of illness in
the human family have been reported
following the consumption of the rab-
bits meat, DR.. McComas said. The
resultant disease is said to be con-
tracted by humans through abrasions
or cuts in the skin when contact is
made with the fur or other parts of
the body of the hares.
Many inquiries have come to the
health department in regard to safety
in eating rabbits where the liver has
been found to be diseased. To answer
these inquiries fully, the department is
issuing the following warning:
Rabbits or squirrels found with
diseased livers are suffering with a
disease called tularemia.' Animals
suffering with this disease should not
be used for food. Many of the wild
rabbits in this territory are believed
to be suffering with tularemia. Vari-
Gus parts of the body besides the liver
are likely to be infected. Even if the
liver has been removed other parts of
the body may show the typical white
spots as manifested by the disease.
"Tularemia is caused by the bacter-
ium tulerense. The infection is insect
borne, but man usually contracts the
disease by handling infected animals
or carcasses of animals. The infec-
ton enters the body through an abra-
sion or opening or cut in the skin.
The disease will appear from two
to five days after the infection enters
the body through the skin.
"The meat and carcasses of animals
suffering with tularemia should not be
handled except with rubber gloves. To
be on the safe side, do not eat rabbits
or squirrels this season." the health
department warning concludes.

WILL DISTRIBUTE THIRTY
MILLION SEALS IN STATE
T. B. Association Office Is Now
Miniature Mail Order House

With a corps of trained workers
tipping two hundred thousand envel-
opes which will carry approximately
thirty million Christmas seals to every
corner of the State, the offices of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association at
Baltimore have taken on the appear
ance of miniature mail order house.
On Thanksgiving Day, throughout
the United States, the tuberculosis
Christmas Seal will make its twenti-
eth appearance. The seal this year is
printed in four colors, the Christmas
greens and reds predominating. Santa
and his sleigh full of good things are
shown drawn by four prancing rein
deers, dashing over the snow covered
landscape. In the upper right-hand
corner is the double barred cross, the
emblem of the National tuberculosis
Association in its fight against the
white plague. At the bottom of the
seal is the caption, Christmas Greet
ings and Good Health
Twenty years ago the Christmas
Seal was unknown in this country as a
means of raising funds for health
work, and the deaths reported from
tuberculosis in the United States that
year were over 100000. Contrast that
with the number of deaths from the
disease in the United States last year.
Records show that after nineteen
years of efficient health work, made
possible by the little seal, and official
and voluntary health organizations,
that the death rate has been cut by
more than half. "This MEANS" said
DR.. Martin F. Sloan, president of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association,
"that our work is only half DONE"
Mrs. C. Milton Sincell, of Oak
land, seal sale chairman for this coun-
ty, is now organizing the seal sale
committee which will assist in what
is hoped will be the most successful
campaign for health ever launched in
Garrett county.
Thirty million Christmas Seals have
been supplied for Maryland, and on
Thanksgiving Day they will fall like
snow covering every hill and dell,
spreading their message of health and
good cheer. They will sell for one
cent each.

presented with check for $40 at the
Father and Son banquet held Tuesday
night at the local high school, for hav-

dent of the Board of Education.l The
check was given by Frederick Agricul-
tural Society. Dodge was one Of four

Oakland has been rather fortunate
in winning prizes in State contests
since agriculture has been taught in
the local school. In 1924 Elwood
'Hauser and Charles Warren won Sec
ond in the State in cattle judging and
young Hauser took third place on the
State team representing Maryland in
the National Fair held at Indianapolis
in October, 1925, and which won sec
ond in the United States.
In 1925, Dale Sanders won $40 as
first prize in judging Holstein cattle,
and in 1926 William DeBerry won $40
as the best Judge of white corn.

Graham Brothers Truck Orders
In October Set Years Record

Orders for Graham Brothers trucks,
commercial cars and motor coaches
during October totalled 6,212, break
ing all previous monthly records for
the year, according to an official state
ment from the truck division of Dodge
Brothers, Inc. This represents ap-
proximately $7,300,000 worth of bust
ness at retail values for the single
month, the statement points out.
The October record shows an in
crease of eleven per cent over the
number of orders in September and
shows the constantly increasing de-
mand for Graham Brothers trucks
since the introduction of complete
new line in August. Factories are
working at capacity to meet the de-
mand.
Dodge Brothers dealers who sell and
service Graham Brothers trucks thru
out the world report enthusiastic re-
ception Of the new one-half ton de-
livery car which was announced Octo-
Der 30th as an addition to the line of
three-quarter, one ton and larger vehi-
cles manufactured by the company.
The new delivery car is smart in ap-
pearance and capable of very fast ser
vice, according to the makers.

MISS MARY LOUISE COGLAN.

Many are the beautiful and fragrant
tributes of affection that have been
laid upon the last lone resting place
of the late Miss Mary Louise Coglan.
She was the eldest child of Mrs. Rose
W. and the late VIM. R. Coglan, Of af-
fectionate remembrance. She was an
innocent, natural fun-loving little
maid. She was bright, obedient stu
dent, unconsciously gifted, especially
in music. Her voice had that drawing,
endearing quality and strength which
gave great promise.
She was aged twenty-one. Besides
her widowed mother she is survived by
two brothers, William R. and Francis
Cornell Coglan, and three sisters, Dol
ores, Dorothy and Regina.
In the springtime of her young life
her ambitions, her hopes and her plans
to enhance the happiness of her dear
est ones, Gods angel stole in with
silent tread and laid the holy seal
upon her pure brow and called her
dead.
She died in Asehville, N. c., on
Monday morning, October 81. The
remains were brought to Oakland for
interment in Gods acre. The Mass of
Requiem was sung by Rev. Father
William McVeigh. The organist was
Mrs. James P. Treacy. At the ending
of the mass the choir sang the hymn,
"Take Me, My Jesus, to Heaven" a
special favorite of the departed. On
this date % years ago, Mrs. Treacy
presided at the organ on the occasion
of the wedding of Mrs. Coglan.
Dear young Oakland friends of her
happy childhood days, let US lift our
fearful eyes beyond the stars and try
to comprehend her present perfect
bliss. All the tenderest emotions, all
the richest love which has pulsed hu-
man hearts, cannot exceed in holy
sweetness the unspeakable sublime re-
ward of a deserving soul.
The flower girls at the funeral were
Misses Monica Maroney, Mary Faher-
| ty, Sarah Catharine Stanton, Rose
mary Maroney, Bernadette Maffett
and Bernadine CAVITY. The pail bear
ers were Messrs. Leo Helbig, Richard
Maroney, James Hart, Robert Maron-
ey, James Kerins and John Maroney.

HELP THE RED CROSS

The annual Red Cross campaign for
members has been open since last Fri
day and to date less than twenty-five
persons in the county have shown
their interest by enrolling as mem
bers of this great mercy bestowing or
ganization. This statement alone
should and probably will make all
want to either go to the local head
quarters (Hamill's Book Store) and
deposit a dollar or send that amount
by mail.
Garrett county is expected to enroll
only $50 members. During the war
1900 members were CARROTS quota
and the people did not fail. Now, with
only $50 members as the quota less
than rs have been obtained during the
first week.
But there is a week yet in which to
keep the faith and clear our record. If
it is not possible to go to the head
quarters in person, send in the dollar
by mail.
Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover, who directed the relief opera
tons of the American Red Cross and
the agencies of the government in the
Mississippi Valley floods, declares that
five million members should be the
very minimum of the expression of the
confidence of the people in their Red
Cross.
He continues: "The American Red
Cross is charged by the Congress of
the United States with the RESPONSE
bility of continuing and carrying on a
system of national and international
relief in time of peace and of applying
the same in mitigating the suffering
caused by pestilence, famine, fire,
floods and other national calamities,
and of devising and carrying on meas
ures for the preventing of the same.
eff the American Red Cross had not
already given conclusive proof in the
past decade of its ability to fulfill
these obligations, ut amply demon
strated its fitness to serve as the Ma
tons agency for providing the SER
vices of rescue and relief in disaster
during the months the Mississippi
River and it's tributaries were creating
the greatest catastrophe in our his
tory"
Taking more recent disaster, there
is the New England flood and numer-
Gus other occasions when this organi-
cation rose to the responsibilities con-
fronting it. Need any more be said
