phoid statistics: Every year in the
United States 400, 900 people are sick
with typhoid fever Forty thousand of
them die. They are sick 2s days on an
average out of every 800 days Thus
we have ll,200, 600 days of sickness
from this disease
Every case Of this sickness means ono
month, generally two months, of idle
ness II the wages Of tho patient are
only 80 cents a day, there is loss of
SO month. Generally this sickness
means II loss Of wages in two months
time Of $50 or $50. Tho average loss Of
wages for six weeks would be $50. Add
to this the Doctors bill, which is any
where from $50 to $I00-wo will say
$50. If the patient lives in tho city and
has trained nurse for only three weeks,
there is another So Ten dollars for
tho prepared food, ice, milk, etc,
brings this moderate bill up to $1G5.

Among the men wounded in my

back after the fight, and we had more
wounded than we had transportation
for, hut two men out of his own tent

were going. which was presumably

we'd left i'll the morning.
They took turns ut backing him for
half mile or So until they came to

thing that made 'cm stand still and
look ut each ether and laugh 1t was

made of 1t they couldn't guess, but they
knew what use they We're going to make
of it. They got it out of the building
and rolled it around the side Of the
house alongside the wounded man and
dropped tho handle ON the grass He
laughed, too, when he saw it. He was
going tho rest of the way in private
ambulance
The two men took their blankets off
their shoulders and united them and
spread their rubbers down on the bot
tom of the hand cart and spread their
WOODEN blankets down on them, and
then they ran the hand cart up and rest
ed the handle ON tho front steps of the
house and lifted in tho wounded man
and laid their guns in beside him. Then
they turned tho cart around again, and
ono man got inside the shafts, with the
crosspieco against his waist belt, and
the other man got behind to push. They
all smiled again when they started,

was dry weather, and tho roads were
sandy, and up hill and on tho level tho
wheeling was hard. But there was
moro down hill than there was up,
