SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Brice BeIden-


VoU win have = fresh sense
4 of gratitude to science when
you realize that it has made you
aware OF q newly discovered
danger to your life and health
and of the means to avoid 1t.
This danger exists in the form
of a particular germ known as
the bacterium tularense because
it was first discovered in Tulare
county, California. 1t was there
observed by Prof. William B.
Wherry-now of the University
of Cincinnati. 1t has since been
systematically studied by, DR.. Ed
ward Francis, of the United States
Public Health Service, in recogni-
ton of which the American Medi-
cal Association has very justly
given him a gold medal.
DIR. Francis studied the livers Of
1000 rabbits exposed for sale In
Washington and found / per cent
of them infected with this germ,
causing the disease now known
as tularaemia.
While this is primarily a dis
ease of lower animals, notably the
rabbit, man readily innoculates
himself with it while dressing
these animals. The infection
passes from the rabbits liver
through some wound on his hand.
This results in an ulcer on the
hand, enlarged glands at the ell
bow or in the arm pit, and fever
which confines him to bed for two
or three weeks.
The disease was first discovered
in a ground squirrel in Tulare
county, California, In 1910, by DR..
c. w. Mccoy, of the United
States Public Health Service. 1t
became engrafted into the jack
rabbit population of the West,
and then, as a disease OF wild
rabbits and of man, it advanced
steadily across the continent, In
vading state after state, until
now, in 1928, there remains only
a solid block of six uninvaded
states composed of the New Eng
land group.
Although a new disease of man,
tuIaraemia has now been recog-
nized in forty-two states of the
United States, in the. District OF
Columbia and in Japan, but in
no other country. OF 614 re-
ported cases. twenty-three term
mated in death.
nF Nron nniS hin1So1f fell
victim to tularaemia while study
ing his first case OF the disease
in Utah He is now devoting
himself to it's prevention and
cure.
Prevention ia the keynote OF
modern medicine. Keep your
bare hands out OF wild rabbit
Il per cent of them are infected
with tularaemia. Rabbit meal,
thoroughly cooked, Is harmless
for food, because a temperature
OF 1873 degrees F.. kills the infec-
ton. Rubber gloves afford com
piete protection to those wEo
must dress wild rabbits.
Beware OF the wild rabbit
which the cat or dog has caught
or which a boy has killed with
a club-it is probably sick rab-
hit. A warning TO the poor
sportsman is necessary. he
should not shoot the rabbit that
is on the point of his gun. Let
him take his rabbits on the run
at twenty five feet distant anu
the chances will he lessened that
the rabbit he bags will he slcA
with tularaemia.

Governor Smiths tour of the West, his first ven
ture into politics, of more than local Importance, has
been a distinct gain for the Republican ticket.
Even from Democratic sources come admissions
that the Governor hurt his cause during his visit to
the farm states. He simply didn't "take." The spell
of grandeur which was cast about him while ne re-
NAMED in New York disappeared as the tour progress
sed. The most luxurious campaign special ever put
on wheels failed to hide the fact that the Governor
does not understand the West and the West does not
understand him. The Democratic nominee demon
strated that he is not acknowledgements, that he has
no grasp Of the problems which concern the United
States as a whole.
On the outstanding problem Of the lay farm
relief-he is still Laundering. The West was inter-
ested in knowing what he would have to say about it,
especially since he had admitted two years ago that
q really can't think Of any way of helping the farm
ers." He hasn't improved his position a great deal
since then. In his speech at Omaha he made a few
covert gestures at embracing the principle of the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill, but he ended with an ~unilluminat-
ING statement that after his election he would "ca[l a
conference" AS Senator Borah remarked, if the
farmer has to wait for that event to happen it will be
a tremendously long time before the farm problem is
solved.
In contrast to this vague and obscure position,
MI. Hoover has proclaimed a definite and concrete
program for agricultural. 1t has won the approval of
those who are most interested in the problem and
who are most competent to judge 1t has brought
Mr.. Hoover messages of cOngratulatiOn from the men
VIII have led the farm fight for year past. Moreover,
the record of the Republican Administration in be-
half Of the farmer is something that cannot be lightly
put aside.

this bridge. Had he opposed instead of Loyalty sup

THE TICKETS

iflG itSN
The campaign in Montana has
simmered down to the battles be-
tween Dixon and Wheeler, and
Rankin and Erickson. All the
other Republican candidates ap-
pear to be as good as elected so
far as the east end of the state is
concerned.
Unprecedented and di~sinterested
opinion, expressed in various
places, is to the effect that the
race will be close on governor.
Governor Erickson is popular and
many feel he is entitled to a sec
ond term, regardless of party con-
siderations. On the other hand
Wellington Rankin has a lot Of
friends and a good organization
that will work for him to the last
minute.
Again depending on disinterest-
ed opinion as a guide to results
there seems to be a growing feel
ing that in spite of the beneficial
tax measures put over by former
governor Dixon, Senator Wheeler
has the inside track and is virtu-
ally sure to be elected. Many
voters in both parties feel CRATE
ful to Wheeler for his courageous
and efficient work in roofing out
graft and in behalf of the farmers
and producing classes of the
West. But you never a tell
about elections until the vote is
sanvassed.
AS for the national ticket it is

lent Hoover, and collecting the
