IN DAYS OF OLD
FORTY YEARS AGO

The number of strangers in Oakland
was variously estimated at from nine
hundred to fifteen hundred. The Oak
land Hotel, Glades Hotel, the Bosley
House, The Rest, many private homes
and residences were crowded with the
then usual summer visitors to Oak
land who came about July 4th and re-
manned through the summer, some as
late as November to enjoy the gun
ming for pheasants, woodcock and
other game which abounded in the
woods near town. Others remained
for trip to the Canaan Valley for
bear and deer hunting, which at that
time was reached by pack horse re-
curing from three to five days. Now
the journey is made in an hour or
two.
An advertisement appeared stating
that "H. A. Davis, the popular and
obliging barber, is now prepared to
give hot or cold baths at the bath
rooms of the Oakland Hotel. he also
makes a speciality of trimming ladies'
bangs and shampooing."
The Friendsville Cornet Band was
to hold a festival on July "a. The
brick company at Friendsville was
about ready to begin shipping fire
clay.
Frank Glotfelty, 13-year old son Of
Mahlon Glotfelty, near McHenry, had

FOOT INFECTIONS SHOULD
BE GIVEN DOCTORS CARE
Feet and Toes of Bathers Should
Be Inspected Regularly

To prevent the spread of infectious
skin diseases of the feet, the Mary
land State Department of Health, in a
bulletin recently issued on Indoor and
Outdoor Swimming Pools, recommends
that the feet, and especially the toes,
of bathers, be inspected regularly, and
that persons showing infection be ex-
Guided from the pools and dressing
rooms and be advised to consult a
skin specialist.
Calling attention to the recommen-
dation, DIR. R. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health, said:
infectious skin diseases of the feet
are not reportable, so we cannot tell
just how many persons have been
affected, but number that have &C.
Cured in Maryland have been brought
to the attention of the Department.
Reports that have come from other
states indicate that such infections
are becoming increasingly prevelant
throughout the country.
"Nearly all of these foot infec-
lions are picked up by walking bare
footed in public places-shower, lock-
er or dressing rooms, at pools, bath
houses or gymnasiums. The major
ity are caused, by a fungus found on
the floor of such places. AS the fun
gus grows also on silk, cotton and on
leather, the infections may also be
picked up from unsterilized towels,
bathing suits and slippers.
because of its connection with
sports of various kinds, this particu-
lar infection is commonly known as
athletic foot Less popular titles
include ring worm, toe itch, toe scald,
fungus foot and papilloma-the lat
ter indicating certain kinds of warts.
The fungus that causes the infection
is a species of mold, something like
the mold that occasionally develops
on bread or other food kept in hot
moist places. AS the growth ma
lures it produces innumerable spores
tiny seed-like bodies-visible only
through a microscope. These find
ready Judgment on the feet, particu-
larly where there is any break in the
skin. The disease has various forms.
1t may show around the base of the
nails or between the toes as raw,
open sore; as water blisters, especi-
ally on the sole; as a red, itchy ecze-
ma, on the tips of the toes and the
neighboring portion of the feet; as
warts on the soles; or as a sodden
scalded condition, with tendency to
cracking or assuring, between the
toes.
"To protect those who use public
pools, the operators of such pools are
advised to wash all floors, benches,
stools, all rubber mats and all wood
work with which the feet of the bath
ers come in contact, daily, with a
strong solution of chlorinated lime or
chlorinated soda. Canvas mats or pads
are a source of infection and should
not be used.
Thorough washing of the feet af-
ter swimming, with plenty of clean
water and soap, and careful drying.
are advised, as a matter of course
Busting the feet afterwards with an
antiseptic powder, such as starch OF
talcum, may serve as an additional
safeguard, but if an infection devel-
ops, go to your doctor or to skin
specialist"

his works but he Would pay for trif1ing

After day of sketching on the

The man stated the price, whereupon
Turner thought hard. Finally he said
