Rabbit Hunters Warned

As many cases of tularemia or rab-
bit fever have been reported in Min
nesota so far this year as occurred
in 1928 and 1929 together, a bulletin
on this disease from the Minnesota
State Medical association announces
today.
Eight persons have fallen victims
to the disease up to October of this
year according to State Board of
Health figures, the bulletin reports,
and this fact may well mean that
there is an unusual amount of the
disease among wild rabbits in some
localities of the state this year.
The disease affects wild rabbits,
not tame. 1t is not confined exclu-
sively to rabbits among the wild ami
mails, squirrels being sometimes af-
flicted Some instances are on record
where the disease has been trans
ferred to human beings with wood
ticks as injecting agents, the bulletin
says.
But the majority of cases where
tularemia has been transferred to hui
man beings have been traced to in
fected rabbits, and hunters are con-
sequently warned especially to be un-
usually careful this year.
Never touch a wild rabbit with
bare hands," the bulletin directs.
Disease germs may cling to the bare
unbroken skin. They will infect the
slightest skin wound or scratch"
Rubber gloves are suggested as d
protection for those who are handling
carcasses or preparing rabbit for the
table. Fortunately cooking kills the
germs of the disease and cooked rab-
bit meat is safe as far as tularemia
is concerned"
The sick rabbit is weary and in
different, the bulletin points out.
Hunters should beware particularly
of rabbits that are easy to catch.
Headaches, chills, fever, and body
pains occurring from two to five days
after handling an infected rabbit are
the first symptoms of the disease
There is also, usually, a swollen area
on the thumb or finger or point of first
contact The fever lasts a week or
more and then becomes intermittent.

an order from an old customer. "At
a meeting of the board of directors"
he said, "it was decided not to distrib-
ute advertising novelties to custom

season. Instead, the directors decid-

Salvation Army to relieve the dist

An humanitarian decision, consid-

will be numbers of needy this year
who must turn to these agencies of
relief for assistance.

What is this thing that we call life
We ask in sudden thinking?
While every night world of stars
Rise above us blinking.
Friendly voices to cheer each day
Strong hands holding ours
Inspire us to dream and build

A smile, tear, laugh, jest;
A chance divinely given
To claim for a brief human hour
Our little share of Heaven.
