BABY BOY FOUND
On DOORSTEP

Apparently happy in his new

boy found on the dooAsteps Of q
house in the $500 block OF Ninth
ST. n. w. Saturday night, was at
the Washington F'oundiings' Home
today. where he was taken by
police.
Meanwhile authorities are seeking
some clue which may lead to his
identity.
The baby has golden hair and
blue eyes and birthmark on his
left shoulder. When found he was
sleeping peacefully in a basket. He
slept most OF yesterday.
The child was dressed in a white
cotton slip and white sweater.
Capt. C. r. M. Lord, of the Thir.
teenth precinct. said today that an
investigation will be made to deter.
mine whether residents of the
vicinity saw anyone leave the baby
at the house.
The discovery was made after a
male voice called the precinct over
the phone, about 1880 p. m, and
merely gave the address of the
house. A patrol was sent there.
The house was apparently de.
serted. police say. but is listed as

Since discovery or the disease IN
1910 By DR.. g. w. Mccoy, the med.
lcal profession has made an inten-
sive study OF the aiiment that has
infected the entire rabbit population
OF, the United States, with the ex.
ception Of = few places in New
England.
Tularaenaia. first found in a
ground squirrel in TnIare county,
Cal. has spread across the cont.
nent and is disease that is par
ticulariy infectious, a number of
deaths resulting from contagion
through handling sick rabbits.
Outstanding Authority
DIR. Francis, whose work is de.
clared to be OF great benefit to the
country and his research and con.
tributions to the medical profession
invaluable, is perhaps the one out
standing authority on the dangerous
and little known disease.
While a positive cure for the
disease has not been discovered, DR..
Francis has learned that it may be
prevented and the spread OF the
infection from rabbit to man in q
great degree lessened.
When the disease first made its
appearance in the District, DR..
Francis made an examination of
1000 wild rabbits offered in the
local markets and found 10 that
were infected. 1t was his work in
making examinations to isolate the
germ of the disease that he infected
himself to determine what effect 1T
might have on humans.
1t has been established by DIR.
Francis that very simple prevent
i've methods will check spread of
the ailment. Use of rubber gloves
in cleaning wild game or handling
a rabbit that might be sick with
tularaemia. thorough boiling of the
meat and extra care in the game
handled will prevent infection.
How Disease Is Contracted
The disease itself is contracted
through incubation while dressing
rabbits or handling a diseased ami
NAL. The infection passes through
the rabbits liver to some wound
on the hand, resulting in an ulcer,
enlarged glands at the elbow or
in the arm pit and a high fever
which lasts from two to three
weeks, sometimes terminating IA
tally.
A few commonsense methods for
prevention are offered by DIR. Fran
els, namely: beware of ~ rabbit
that the dog brings home, the
rabbit killed with a club or the
rabbit that Is shot at the end Of a
gun. They are probably diseased.
One per cent of the rabbit popu-
lation, he declares, is infected and
it is safe bet to wear gloves
and boil the meat of such wild
game thoroughly before eating 1t.
