HUNTERS

The human race, already af-
flicted with most of the
known diseases and a great

Preliminary Investigations by the
United States Public Health Service
of, this disease, scientifically known
as tularaemia, disclosed that 1t may
be communicated to humans by
contact with infected animals, 1t
was disclosed today.
Rabbit fever," the germ OF
which was isolated by DIR. Edward
Francis, public health scientist, also
afflicts certain wild life, chiefly
birds. The quail Is particularly sus-
ceptible to tularaemia. DIR. Francis
recently was a patient at the Naval
Hospital where he was under treat
ment for "undulunt fever" a disease
which he had Investigated. He had
a part in the isolation of that
germ.
of Iistless rabbits or birds. Especially
in the case of the rabbit the existence
of this strange disease may easily be
detected. An official of the health
service said that a rabbit which can
be killed with q club or which
makes little effort to escape on the
approach Of hunter or dogs
almost certainly is afflicted with
tularaemia. An extremely active
rabbit may be killed and cleaned
without danger.
The disease il communicable by
handling an infected animal prior 10
cooking. Since the germ Is de-
stroyed by comparatively low tenn
peratures, no ill.effects follow eat
ing of diseased rabbit or bird, ac-
cording to experts.
Persons preparing rabbits for
cooking were told to use rubber
gloves az a precaution against
tularaemia.
While the disease is not ex-
tremely fatal, it is attended by
serious prostrating effect. For
many months the victim may be
incapacitated and without ability
or inclination to do ordinary work.

NEW THEORY
ON SMOKING
CIGARETTES

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-That our
fire worshiping ancestors may have
been responsible for the present
great consumption of cigarettes in
the United States is the theory
arising from Professor Stanley
Halls assertion that most of our
modern habits may be traced to
primitive forefathers. DIR. Hall
is the founder of the American
Journal of Psychology.
AS the atavistic ancestors of the
tired business man paid homage
to the fire gods, so their descend
ants may be unconsciously obey
ing their ancestors by lighting
cigarettes and relaxing from the
strain Of business, according to
psychologists. The present ciga-
rette consumption is at the rate of
about 100000 cigarettes every min
ute.
Enlarging upon this theory, A.
E. Hamilton, author and former
pupil of Professor Hall, suggests
in the North American Review that
an echo of the primitive delight in
fire and spiraling smoke may JUS
tify almost divine obligation for
smoking among both sexes.
Carrying these explanations of
the immense increase in cigarette
smoking one step farther the en-
richment of flavor resulting from
the added process of subjecting
tobaccos to high temperatures may
be traced back to delight in the
fragrant incense of past civiliza-
lions.
For countless generations wom-
an has been guardian of the
hearth" Hamilton writes. "And
now that civilization has impris-
oned the fire spirit down in the
; m mt and its comforting
warmth comes to us through q
series of tubes and gilded radiators
is it a great wonder that women
have begun to welcome the ember-
glow and smoke rings of the lit
tie cigarettes?"
