WEAR RUBBER GLOVES
WHEN DRESSING RAB-
BITS, SAY DOCTORS |
What should the well dressed wo-
man wear?
That is, when she 1s dressing rab-
bits.
Rubber gloves.
Every year at this season there are
more and more victims of tularemia
or rabbit fever.
Many of the patients do not sur-|
vive.
Last year there were 33 deaths in
Illinois from this dis |
Throughout Pennsylvania, news-
paper reports cite cases of this ser-
ious disease.
All due to the handling of rabbits
infected with the germ causing tul-
aremia.
How can one tell that the rabbit
has the disease?
A hunter might detect the symp-
toms in a rabbit before he shoots it.
A listless, unlively and obviously
sick rabbit is very sure to be infect-
ed.
Hunters should beware of ral
that don’t dash away with the expect-
ed alacrity.
Housewives and hunters who dress
rabbits should wear rubber gloves.
Simply by handling an infected
rabbit .a human being may easily be-
come infected.
After the rabbit is in the stew,
there is nothing to worry about.
Cooking kills the germs of tulare-
mia and there is no danger in eating
such a cooked rabbit.
But every handle rof rabbits should
take the simple precaution of wear-
ing rubber gloves.
One infinitesimally small germ from
a sick rabbit may cause tularemia.
One attack of this grievious disease
may cause death.
Wear rubber gloves.
Mc¢CANN MAY BE N AMEI
TO U. S. APPEALS COURT
Once again reports are current that
President Judge John H. McCann may |
be elevated to a higher court. On sev-
eral occasions during the Earle ad-|
ministration it jwas reported that the
Cambria County jurist was to be|
given an appointment on the super-
ior or supreme courts .The latest re-|
port has to do with the United States
Coutr of Appeals.
The story originated in PHIL
| phia where it was reported that John |
B. Kelly, Democratic leader, is on the
|
and as a result if Judge Francis Bid- |
A dle of the U. S. Court of Appeals is|
made solicitor general of the United]
States, Senator Guffey will recom- |
mend the appointment of Judge Mec-|
Cann instead of Dr. Herbert Goodrich. |
dean of the law school of the Univer- |
sity of Pennsylvania, reputed candi-|
date of the Kelly forces.
However ,several factors would |
enter the scene before Judge McCann |
would be appointed. Here's the dope os |
given via Philadelphia: |
If U. S. Attorney General Frank |
Murphy is elevated to the Supreme]
Court, it is said that solicitor generar|
Robert Jackson’ will succeed Mr. Mur- |
phy, whereupon Judge Biddle will be|
named by President Roosevelt to be-|
come the solicitor general. And then, |
it is indicated, Senator Guffey will|
recommend to the President that Jud-|
Judge |
Biddle’s place on the bench.
Incidentally Judge McCann, usual- |
ly a very genial gentleman, is not so|
cheerful these days. And he can hard-
ly be blamed. The judge is in the]
process of moving from his home in|
Ebenspurg, where he has lived for 24 |
yers, to Cresson. However, it was
in Cresson where Judge McCann en-
joyed his earlier life, having lived |
there from 1888 up to the time he mo- |
ved to Ebensburg.
L. STRONG SUCCUMBS |
Brookville, — Fornur Congressman |
Nathan Leroy Strong, 60, died Thurs- |
day night at his home here after an |
illness of six weeks.
Strong was secretary of the State
Republican committee for several
years .He served in the House of Re.
presentatives from 1916 until 1934. He
| also was district attorney of Jefferson
| county from 1894 to 1897, and was a
| leading figure in the development ot
the region.
No better gift can be imagined for
that former resident than a year’s sub-
scription to the Union Press-Courier.

THREE E hours late, the snow-
bound train reached Chicago.
Mary Lou gathered her baggage to-
gether and took the bus across to
i the other statien. to find her con-
necting train had left on schedule.
The folks would drive in to town to
meet the train unless she could head
them off.
Her message put through, Mary
| Lou sank down on one of the benches
to collect her thoughts and make
| her plans until train time. Five
o'clock, and no train until 9:30 the
next morning.
‘Going out soon?” a cheery voice
She looked up to
ind the chief usher standing beside
her. A middle-aged, friendly look-
ing fellow. Mary Lou told him of her
missed connections.
lere,"Eddie, look at this!” a red |
cap interrupted her story. He was |
leading a three-year-old child, a
| dear little girl with big blue eyes
and yellow curls.
“What are you doing with the kid? |
Is she lost?” Eddie asked sharply,
turning away from Mary Lou.
“Might as well be. She came in
from Denver, in charge of the stew-
ardess. They missed the train north,
and the stewardess is celebr: ating
Christmas by having her appendix
out, emergency case. They tol d me
to turn the kid over to you,” the
y grinned as he handed her over to
the chief usher.
Eddie took her clumsily.
here, what can a bacheior like me
do with a kid like this?” He looked
appealingly at Mary Lou.
Mary Lou's eyes filled with tears.
Then she held out her arms toward
the youngster. “What is your name,
dear?’ she asked,
“Annette Pollard... I am three
years old and I. am going from Chey-
enne tc Rio, Wisconsin, to my grand-
ma Poliarl. My daddy is there.” It
was a lesson she had been taught.
Mary Lou held her close. “I had

when she died,” she said brokenly
to Eddie. ‘Let me keep the child
tonight, and take her to her home.
I missed the same train she did.”
Eddie studied her face. What he
saw satisfied him. Still he hesitated
for a moment. ‘‘That sounds good
to me. But I'd better get the con-
ductor ‘to authorize it.”
T WAS soon decided that Mary |
Lou should keep her. But she
must not leave the station. “It won't
be very comfortable for you, ma'am,
but the kid can curl up on a bench
here and be dead to the world in
no time. There are some rocking
chairs in the far room there. Why,
of course there are some cots there,
and baby beds.”
“We ought to telephone the child's
relatives,” Mary Lou suggested.
‘Of course we should. Here 1s
the address and telephone number.
You do it for me, will you, please,
ma'am? i've got my last minute |
shopping to do. I'm mighty glad
you came in on this train. Eddie’ll
take the kid while you telephone to |
Rio,” and the conductor was off, |
after turning over the child’s money |
to Mary Lou. But not until Mary |
Lou had made him promise to send |
a big doll back for the child's
Christmas.
“We'll let Annette say hello to
her daddy herself, if she wants to,’
Mary Lou exclaimed. And so it was B
done. Mary Lou heard the voice of |
Annette’s father, tense with concern,
and then joyful as he realized where
his baby was and heard her childish
treble over the phone. “Her moth-
er's parents sent her back here to
{ have Christmas with me. Her moth-
er died two years ago,” he added.
The sun was shining dazzlingly
bright the next morning when the
| train stopped at Rio. The red-haired
man who was waiting expectantly
on the platform had only time to |
thank Mary Lou, and get her ad- |
dress, before the train pulled out |

leaving him holding Annette as she ¥
waved a good-by to Mary Lou.
But the trip home was much eas-
ter. Mary Lou forgot the burning |
pain at the loss of her own little |
daughter, the aching loneliness since
her own husband's death, as she
remembered the soft kiss or the
baby lips of the motherless child
who had been in her charge the
night before. And the look in the
face of Annette's daddy made her
