SEVENTEEN PATIENTS ARE
EXAMINED AT T. B. CLINIC
Monthly Chest Examinations
During 1885 Show Much
Work Done

Seventeen patients were examined
by DIR. E. C. Peck, health officer, at the
regular monthly chest clinic at the
health office yesterday morning. Ten
of the number had x-rays at the Hope
mont Sanitarium following the clinic
The Maryland tuberculosis asso-
citation has had monthly chest clinics
in Oakland for the past year, conduc-
ted by DR.. Peck who has had special
training in chest examinations.
During the first year 129 examina-
tons were made on lis different
patients, 65 x-rays were taken. Of
the persons known to have been in con-
tact with tuberculosis cases IL were
found to show no signs of the disease
and 10 showed signs of infection not
active at present. SiXty-two persons
suspected of tuberculosis were shown
not to have it. Six new cases were
found by the health department and
5 new cases by private physicians
during 1888. In that year there were
five deaths from this disease, two of
which were in patients who had been
examined before the establishment of
the clinics. During 1885 there were
1877 visits to patients in the home by
the health officer and nurses.
1t is possible to have x-rays taken
at Hopemont sanitarium by private
arrangement with the superintendent
by DR.. Peck.
The cost of conducting the clinics
is partly from annual seal sales here.
AS the annual seal sale in this county
is not sufficient to pay the entire cost
of the work there is a contribution
from the State association and the
State department of Health.

With Tramps"? A Correspondent
Asks.
ne Editor of The Republican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Such a situation would indeed be
deplorable, nevertheless their activi-
ties would seem to give that impress
sion. -
The first thing an Industrious far
mer does is to invest in a pup of a
breed most suitable to his personal
needs. Then he spends a great deal of
valuable time in training that pup to
become a faithful, efficient servant.
Automatically the pup grows into a
loyal friend and protector Of the en-
tire family.
A well-trained dog knows his own
boundary lines and keeps in them.
Always alert the dog allows no idle
pilfering wanderer to sleep in the
barn or shed awaiting an opportunity
when the men have gone to work, to
get a free bite or the loose change
about the house.
The farmers children are safe as
the faithful dog would not hesitate to
give his life in their defense against
man or beast. Every day we read of
someone saved from drowning or burn
ing through the heroic efforts of the
family dog.
Because some inhuman being fails
or neglects to properly feed and pro-
vide water for his dog, because unli-
censed dogs are allowed to stray and
propagate, become sick and spread
disease, the authorities make a whole
sale slaughter on one of the farmers
most valuable assets.
A conscience-b bound dog has never
known the indignities of leash. Tie
him away from his favorite place on
the porch or under the window and
you keep him from making the rounds
that he knows it is his duty to make.
He sees his beloved mistress leave her
work and carry heavy baby after
the cows he has driven ever since
he can remember. When through pity
at his fruitless efforts to be about
his work, the chain has been taken off !,
he finds himself shut in stuffy shed
to swelter in the heat and cannot, even
see if harm should come to the beings
that mean more than life itself to
MIN.
Under such conditions would it be
any wonder if he should worry and
fret himself into fever becoming
as mad or insane as the order that
pronounced such sentence upon him
"Tie him or we will shoot him."
What can his master do? The dog has
done no wrong, probably never will.
He has become one of the family. 1t
would take years of work, time and
money to try to replace him.
Must the home-owner ruin his val
liable protector, betray his loyal friend
and turn his property over to marau-
ders who very soon know just where
the dogs are tied or killed?
Who will dare to take a stand for
justice and see that little judgment
is used? Destroying only dogs that
have become public nuisance. Doing
away with all stray or sick dogs.

Supervisors Order
Stricter Rules on

Deputy District Attorney Charles
Halliday was instructed by Impe-

prepare an ordinance regulating
house to house peddling in the
rural areas OF the county.
The present peddling ordinance
is to be amended to include sug-
gestions made at the regular board
meeting.
Merchants and dealers in the
various municipalities of the coun-
ty who have habit of house to
house peddling in country regions
will be affected by the amendments,
it was pointed out at the meeting.
Owners of country stores COM
planned that the peddling of mum

peddling in town when the mer-
chants have TO pay nothing for
peddling in the country, it was eX-

ter satisfactorily from law en-

SUSPECT FOUND
GUILTY IN WIFE
SLAYING CASE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 8. UP)-
A superior court jury which de-
liberated all night today convicted
Charles Gilmer, 33, former oil COM
pany official, of the second degree
murder of his wife, Alma, %.
The jury, by its verdict, rejected
Gilmer's story that his wife was
injured fatally when she fell from
an automobile as they rode about
discussing their marital difficult
ties, and, in effect, confirmed the
state theory that Gilmer beat and
strangled her to death. He heard
teh verdict without show of emo
ton.
