PRECAUTIONS FOR
BACGING OF THE
HUNTED RABBIT
Health Department Warns A.
gainst Bringing Home The
Diseased Bunny

Bre'r Rabbit is in the market again
and when done to turn adds appetiz-
ing variety to the menu at this time
of the year. But there are certain
precautions that should be Observed
according to warning issued by DIR.
r. III. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, to be sure that
the specimen you have bagged or
bought, is a healthy one, and to safe
guard yourself against possible infec-
ton with the germs that cause "tula-
remia" or rabbit fever" in humans.
Here are the precautions. They are
of interest to hunters, market men,
food handlers, housekeepers, cooks,
and to others who handle the game
or prepare it for the table.
BAY only healthful animals.
Don't handle the game with bare
hands, when preparing the meat for
the market or for the table. Use rub
Der gloves. If it is impossible to use
gloves, wash the hands thoroughly
with soap and water after handling
the meat.
do not allow an open cut or
scratch to come in contact with the
rabbits. Keep your hands away from
your face and your eyes. The infec-
tious material can be absorbed thru
a mere scratch or break in the skin.
Burn the paper or other wrappings
that have been in contact with the
game.
Cook all rabbit meat thoroughly.
Thorough cooking of the meat des-
troys the germs.
wild rabbits are especially respon-
sible," DR.. Riley said, "for the spread
of rabbit fever The animals become
diseased through the bite of ticks that
carry the disease-producing germs.
Rabbits raised in rabbitries are usual
" free from such ticks and so far,
domestic rabbits have not been found
to be sources of the diseases. Rabbit
fever is usually contracted in handling
or skinning, infected rabbits, or In
preparing the meat for the market or
for cooking. It can also be contracted
through the bite of the infected ticks
and even through crushing the ticks
in the fingers.
1.-THE first cases of rabbit fever
brought to the attention of the State
Department of Health since the begin
ming of the hunting season, were re-
ported few days ago, from the West
ern part of the State. Both occurred
in the same family-mother and son.
In both cases the disease seems to
have been contracted in skinning and
dressing rabbits brought in by the
son from hunting trip. The son re-
members having had his hand scratch
ed while on his trip. The mother pick
ed up the infection in washing and
dressing the game. Fortunately both
have had prompt medical attention.
when symptoms develop that sug-
gest rabbit fever, the family doctor
should be sent for without delay.
Blood tests for the presence of the in
lection, will be made by the Central
or Branch meteorological LABORATORIES
to assist in the diagnosis of the di-
sease, at the request of the attending
physician, for any case in the Coun-
ties. Similar service is available to
physicians in Baltimore City through
the laboratories of the Baltimore City

hour-Gen. Hugh johnson was on the
radio discussing what Mr.. Roosevelt
had said. That was quick work, Gen.
johnson talked as smoothly as II his

out in advance as Mr.. Roosevelt's had
been. suppose, but do not know.
that Gen. johnson had procured an
advance copy of the Presidents speech
as early as the newspapers had, and
therefore may have had three or four
hours to prepare his comment. Any
how, Gen. Johnson's address, follow
ing Immediately after the Presidents,
had the effect Of spontaneous radio
debate.
The general was perfectly courteous
to his former chief, even generous
to him; yet at the end one felt that
Mr.. Roosevelt had been, in dialectic
sense. taken for a ride" No one can
fail to be convinced by the way Gen.
johnson hammers home the truth
about taxes, that a tax is an addition
to the cost of an article without any
addition to the articles quality or

Third-Term Point Puzzling.

be the occasion for an important press
conference at 4? Yet, as the news
paper men waited in the White House
lobby. there was no noticeable atmos-
phere Of suspense among them. Their
gossip was about casual topics. Pres
ident Roosevelt so likes the drama atics.
and has SO often been dramatic that
maybe to the newspaper men it has
become rather an old story. While
they waited there was some unexcited
surmise about what he would say.
Some guessed. more jocularly than
in earnest, that maybe he would talk
about Justice Black, or about Japan.
Nearly all, however. thought that the
purpose was to announce a special
session Of Congress.
Made Comedy Of II.
When We went in the President
made appropriate mention of the mur-
| der of Consul General Mariner, of
which news had just come Then he
turned to announcing the special ses-
sion Of Congress. Strangely, he made
it humorous Having made it seem
serious by sending out the unusual
radio call for all newspaper men TO
be present, he chose now to make a
little comedy of it. With deliberately
and humorously affected of1-handed-
| ness, he said he really had no news to
give out except that there was little
proclamation he had just signed. Then
he read the first few lines of the call
for special session. Half a dozen
newspaper men rushed to the telephone
| room. These half Dozen out of the
$50 or so that had come, were the
only ones that we're particularly inter-
! ested. They are mainly the ones who
serve the press associations reaching
all newspapers, and who are concerned
with flash" news. They were about
the only ones that really needed to be
present To the other newspaper men,
the little drama ended in anti-climax.
But Mr.. Roosevelt enjoyed it: leaving
