TULARAEMIA-Rabbit Disease
There are two seasons of the year
in Montana when people should be
particularly careful to protect them
selves against tularaemia. These two
seasons are from March until July
during the seasonal activity of the
wood tick and in the fall and winter
months when rabbits are beng hunted
and shot and used as an article OF
diet. The disease primarily is that
of the rabbit but it may be transmit
ted to humans through the bite of an
infected wood tick or by the careless
handling of infected rabbits. ms IS
the season when one should be par
ticularly careful when handing or
dressing rabbits. The disease is ex-
tremely infectious and is not uncom-
mon among butchers. In such cases
it is usually contracted through abra-
sions of the skin of the hands, but 1t
NAV be contracted through unbrok-
on skin. coniunctivitis may be set
up by rubbing the eyes When The
hands are contaminated. The disease
can be readily detected in the rabbit
by examining the liver auo Spleen
where white nodules appear WIllch are
readily seen by the naked eye.
There are two general types of the
disease-the gradular ana the Iypho!c
type. In the gradular. type Jnere Is

Merle Christmas

This Christmas will be the merries-
ever for the children of multimillion-
aires who cluster around the Rookie
feller throne. The cash dividends dis
bursed this year by the Standard Oil
group of companies will exceed all
previous records. According to pre-
liminary estimates of Pforzheimer &
Co., specialists in the securities of
this giant monopoly, last quarter pay
ments amounting to S55, ,724,4 will
bring the 1927 total to the huge sum
of S213,617, $40.
Four giants of the Standard Oil
group account for S130, ,357 AIS of the
S213, ,617 $40 total, the report shows.
The 1927 cash dividends of these 4
companies are: Standard Oil of N. J.
S3S, ,423 $50; Standard of California,
S33, ,059, 9,506; Standard of Indiana $751;
$751; and Standard of New York
S26,895,SS8.
The 1927 Standard Oil dividends
exceed by about S13,300,000 the divi-
dends paid in 1926 which at that time
established a record. This is all the
more extraordinary in view of the
fact that 1927 was supposed to be a
year of depression in the oil industry
Much publicity was given to the state
ments that overproduction forced
prices down to Improbable levels
Apparently the tribute collected BY
the oily rich will be maintained ever
IN periods of severe depression. The
1927 total is more than three time:
as large as the Standard Oil dividend
of 1914. It is twice as large as tn,
entire capitalization of the old Stand
ard Oil of n. J. which was the paren
of the present group of companies
Practically all of the subsequent cap
italization of the Standard OH groul
has bene accomplished through stocl
dividends.
Cash dividends paid by Standar
! Oil since 1911, the year in which tn
trust was supposed to have been dis
solved under the Sherman Antitrus
act, have now reached the amazin,
total of S2,040, 1851 In additio,
there have been stock dividends to
total of nearly 81 500, 900 900. Tn
owners, primarily the Rockefeller:
Pratts, MELONS, Harnesses. ETC.. hav
taken about S3,500, ,0OO, 900 on a can
talization which in 1912 had a pa
value of less than 100000. 900. Thei
wealth has multiplied nearly 12 time

OKOSS CONNEC1IONO
A little over a year ago the state
board of health passed a regulation
prohibiting cross connections with
public water supplies, when such cross
connection was with a contaminated
water. 1t took nearly a year to en-
force this regulation and many diff
ficult problems had to be solved on
account of the fact that such cross
connections were generally used for
fire purposes. At the present time
all such cross connections in Montana
have been removed or are in the pro-
ces Of removal. The Importance of
this is emphasized by the fact that
recently there have been three cpl
denies of typhoid fever rported from
the state of New York, due directly
to such cross connections.
