not well fail in producing good results.
We must help ourselves and concerted
action is the best means by which to
do it.

Typhus Fever In Michigan.

1t looks very much as though Michi-
gan has a genuine case of typhus fever.
Secretary Baker, of the state board of
health, received a telegram from DIR.
g. w. Huff, health officer at Goble,
Van Buren, county, informing him of
a suspected case of this dread disease
at that place. DR.. Huff said that tie
body of &. l.. Mentger, who died at
Atlanta, Ga. was shipped to Goble for
burial. The accompanying certificate
gave the cause of death as typhoid
fever, but friends of the deceased now
say that the case was really typhus
fever. A son of the dead man is now
sick with all the symptoms of the latter
disease.
Secretary Baker ordered DIR. Huff
to at once enforce absolute iso-
lation ~ all persons infected
and to institute a system of thorough
diSinfection. DIR. Baker has also tele-
graphed the health officer at Atlanta,
advising him of the circumstances,
giving him the name of the deceased
and The date of his death in that city
and requesting a prompt investigation
and report.

plans had been formulated for the
arrest on charges of conspiracy of
President Debs and Organizer Lynch.
IL was said that the general managers
had been advised to arrest those men

that, if found, would furnish indisput-
