OLD EoGY DOCTORS
Encourage the Spread OF Typhoid Fever
and Arc Called Down.


and Arc Called Down.
COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 16.-The benefits
of the law increasing the powers of the
local health authorities are daily be.
coming more apparent. A fresh illus
tration was found by State Health
officer Probst at North Lewisburg, a
village in Champaign county and near
Urbana.
Within five weeks there have been
forty cases of typhoid fever there and
the disease was rapidly spreading be-
cause of the ig-headedness of two ig.
norant old doctors who refuse to take
any stock in the modern demonstration
that typhoid fever is communicable by
germs. When the local health author
tiles directed person in whose house the
fever existed to disinfect the excreta of
the afflicted members of their families,
the old doctors pooh-poohed the order
and advised that no attention be paid
to it.
They also ridicule the advice that all
water be boiled before being drank.
DR.. Probst, on being appealed to, went
to North Lewisburg and at once in
formed the local board of health that
it has full authority to have the ignor-
ant and intermeddling old fellows ar
rested, and this will be done if they
continue to interfere with the efforts
being made to eradicate the disease.

Thursday morning in anticipation OF

Strange to say, Mr.. Burrows, who

species of covert filibustering to pre-.
vent the report of the bill to the house.
He was standing in the center aisle
while the chaplain was praying fol-
peace and harmony, and as soon as the
invocation ceased he asked unanimoui
consent that the call of committees fol
reports be dispensed with.

With our trust in Him we'll know
no sting,
Though low in the grave we lie.
And we're almost, almost there.
