- Raleigh.—Tulapsimla, or “rab
bit fever," has broken out In at
least four North Carolina coun
ties since the opening of the hunt
ing season, It was announced
hero, by Dr. Carl V. Reynolds,
State Health Officer, who recent
ly issued a -warning against the
disease, addressed to sportsmen,
housewives and others handling
raw rabbit meat.
There are two cases in Concord,
it was disclosed; two in Smith-
field, one in Greenville and one
at Varina, In Wlake county, as
shown by agglutination tests
made at the State Laboratory of
Hygiene, Dr. John H. Hamilton,
Director, reported to Dr. Rey
nolds.
Other specimens were said to
hava been suggeetive of the di
sease, although actual develop
ment of this painful malady was
not shown at the time the tests
were made. “Agglunnlns do not
appear in the blood until at least
fourteen days after the disease
has fastened itself on the pa
tient.” Dr. Hamilton explained,
"so" some of the others may have
developed the disease since these
teats were made.”
Dr. Hamilton added that an un
usual number of specimens had
been pouring Into the Laboratory
for examination since Dr. Rey
nolds issued his warning; and, at
the same time. Dr. Reynolds de
clared that he "greatly appreci
ated the fine spirit of cooperation
on the part of the newspaper.s in
getting the warning before all the
people, as it was printed in every
section of North Carolina." He
added, however, that, due to the
present flare-up In the disease, it
might be well for those who had
not reed the warning to do so at
once; that; “It must l)e remem
bered that the cases referred to
above are only those which have
been detected through speclmetis
sent in to the State Laboratory of
Hygiene for examination. Just
how many other cases there are
scattered throughout the Stale
cannot be determined at the
present time."
Usually, Dr. Reynolds further
pointed out, there are not more
than 10 or 15 cases of "rabbit
fever" reported to the State
Board of Health for the entire
year, through the Divlstoii of
Epidemiology, as compared with
the six that have been discovered
luring the past few days at the
So far this year, fifteen cases
(have been reported through the
^idemlology Division, but these
do not Include cases known to
have developed since the hunt
ing season started, which will
bring this year’s total up to an
unusually large number, this
number to be still further in
creased should it develop that
other cases exist throughout the
State.

Dan P. Holler, Wilkes county

county, asking their cooperation
In forest fire protection:
Forests are valuable proper
ty. They benefit everyone by con
serving onr drinking water, regu
lating streamflow, keeping the
soil from washing away, shelter
ing wild life, and providing ns
with fnelwood,- building material
and other nsefni products.
"Elaoh of us has a personal
stake In the forest resources of
our locality, whether we own any
tlmberland or not. The income
from the sale of forest products
creates employment, both, in the
country and In town and villages.
The more forest products we can
produce, the greater will -be our
local market for eggs, milk, poul
try, livestock and other farm pro
duce.
"Fires in the forest kill little
trees and kill or injure larger
trees and retard their growth.
Forest fires destroy game ani
mals and young birds and their
»ood. They kill the fish In the
4tream» and ponds, reduce the
fertility of the forest soil, de
stroy the natural beauty of the
countryside and create idle land
that la a tax burden.
Forest fires are practically all
man-caused. They are therefore
preventable. If all of us will try
to be doubly-careful with fire,

to persuade our friends and rela-
