from West Virginia, in letter from

Meetine,of c Congress.

Senator Chandler declares that
his resolution providing for the
meeting of the Fifty Seventh Con-
gress on the second Monday in March
1901, and for the meeting of each
future Congress on the second Mon
day in the March following the cleo
tion of its representatives, was not
intended as a joke, but was meant
very seriously, and to meet state
of affairs which exists at the closing
or short session of every Congress.
Mr.. Chandler thinks it is wrong to
try to crowd a lot of important gen.
eral legislation besides the regular
appropriation bills, into a short ses-
sion, and that it would be much bet
ter to always leave the general leg
islation for the new Congress, pro.
vided the new Congress assembled
Immediately after the close Of the

Mr. Hops for some years has been
in declining health and his depleted
physical condition rendered him an
easy victim to pneumonia which
caused his death Friday, Feb. 8th.
He was born in Greene township about
56 years ago and has always resided
there. He was a soldier in the civ
il war, and at the time of his death
postmaster of Greentown. He is sur
vived by his wife and five children,
Morton, Edna, Theda, Emma and
Levi, all at home One brother,
Anthony, of Greentown, also sur
wives. The funeral was held Sunday

should not drink water on the prem

should not drink water on the prem
ises.
If the hands become soiled with ex-
cretions they should be washed first
in solution of chloride Of lime and
then in pure water and soap.
All glasses, cups and other vessels
used by the patient, should be cleans
ed in boiling water, and all foods or
drinks touched and not consumed by
the patient, should be burned OF
buried.
Discharges from the bowels and
kidneys should be. received into YES
sells charged with disinfectants, and
buried in the soil at least 100 feet
from any well and i'm no case should
they be thrown on the ground, into a
stream nor into a privy vault.
All articles of the patients clothing
which are soiled, all the sheets, tow
els, napkins, etc., used in the room
should be boiled thoroughly.
THE CoNvALEsCENT PATIENT.
The recovering person is not dang
GUS to his friends. He may have
cheerful society. The fever has its
seat in the bowels and often causes
ulcerations of their walls and ON this
account the patient for sometime
must be careful of what he eats, as
solid substances sometimes cause per
forations Of the intestinal walls, and
nearly instant death. He must be
willing to get well slowly.
DIsINFECTToN AFTER RECOVERY OR
DEATH.
This should be thoroughly done and
by one who has experience. The
physician in charge will give solu-
tions and directions for use of disin-
fectants for discharges and for disin-
fetting rooms, clothing, towels and
such fabrics as can be washed, and
for disinfecting water closets, urinals,
sinks and cess pools, and for disinfect-
ing the room after typhoid fever.
A careful observance Of the above
rules may prevent contracting the
disease and also its spread and they
cannot be too faithfully adhered to.
Typhoid is exceedingly insidious, and
consequently very dangerous, and NJ
precaution should be ommited by
those having charge or care of sucf
cases to prevent contamination and
spread.
