Health Officials
Seek Method OF
Capturing Dogs
Also Warn Hunters Of
Quarantine Areas And Of
Tularemia

At special meeting on Wednes.
day of this week Montgomery
County Health authorities planned
ways and means of securing i'm
provements in the capturing OF
stray dogs. DR.. V. L. Ellicott
health officer, points out the i'm
practicability of having the dog
wagon crew follow all reports of
stray dogs. He suggested that any
one who discovers a. stray dog to
endeavor to secure him in some
manner before reporting to the
authorities. The dog shelter can be
reached by telephoning Shepard
1918.
DR.. Ellicott also pointed out that
hunting is permitted only in the
areas not under the dog quaran-
tine. Indescriminate shooting Of
dogs is frowned on by health auth
critics who recognize the POSSIBLE
ity of the loss of valuable pets
which might have escaped confine-
ment.
With the opening of the hunting
season DIR. Ellicott has issued
warning regarding rabbits and the
prevalence of tularemia. The fol-
lowing suggestions are made to
rabbit hunters:
''The incidence of tularemia or
rabbit fever has a tendency to in
crease during the hunting season.
rabbit fever is disease pri-
marily of animals, especially wild
rabbits, but may be transmitted to
human beings who handle, skin or
cut up the meat of infected ami
mails. Ordinary cooking renders
meat safe.
Hunters are cautioned to avoid
shooting slow rabbits. They should
not handle carcasses with bare
hands. The liver and spleen of
infected game show numerous whit
ish gray spots. Bury any suspic-
ious animal.
ain dealing with wild rabbits,
burn all paper wrappings in con-
tact with game. Don't give Fuzzy
tails to children. If gloves are an
impossibility wash hands thorough
Iy with soap and water.
'If symptoms SUCH as chills, back
ache, prostration and high fever
develop about three days after
handling wild rabbits, call the doc
tor Immediately. Blood tests done
by the Health Department aid in
diagnosing this disease"

for the next century. In order
to maintain that spirit and that
appreciation of great power we
must never fail to recognize that
the only real sacrifices we have
yet been asked to make are the
sending of our best young men
to battle and the big tax bills we
are asked to pay. Even the lat
ter can be met without too Sc
we're hardship if we can get the
war over and send the boys home
again. Then will be the time to
settle our financial difficulties.
When we complain about the
rationing of gasoline or the lack
of sufficient points for meat or
canned foods we are beginning
to bore from within. Before any
one complains he should compare
his lot today
Good and with the people
Healthy of European
Attitude countri e s. In
stead of COM
planning he should contemplate
with deep reverence the blessings
which flow through American
citizenship. Any man who will
give proper and intelligent re-
Election to the hardships our boys
in the Italian mountains, or in
the jungles of New Guinea, or
during the blackened and terri
flying nights at sea or the breath
taking hazards of the men in the
air, or of those stationed in SUBJ
zero weather or those in malaria
infested islands in the South Pa
cifc, will decide to not only re-
frain from complaint but will
chide those who do complain.
A good and healthy attitude of
those at home is as essential now
as it was during the early
months after Pearl Harbor.

if you would assume this duty for

This offers the opportunity for ex-

dear-our liberty-our continued
