PREVENTION OF TYPHOID FEVER.
Typhoid fever, being a disease that
always requires the personal attend
-ance Of physician, may be properly
referred to from the point of view Of
prevention
lt IS well known that typhoid fever
is a water-bone disease, and is com
4 monty m taken into the system in drink
ang water which has become contami-
nlted from the excreta Of persons suf-
fer1ng from the disease. Freezing does
not in any way impair the vitality of
q the bacillus of typhoid, SO that ice
from a river or pond may convey the
4 disease to consumers hundreds of
4 ~ lies, perhaps, from the source Of in
lection. II Z sz. .1sts
Carried In MILK 81.
Milk has more than once been the
means of conveying the disease. For
tunately most milk dealers are aware
of the necessity of cleanliness in the
preparation of milk for shipment In
most modern dairies the bottles, be-
fore being filled, are subjected to the
sterilizing effects Of steam. Epidemics
of typhoid fever traced to dairies have
IN most cases been due to the bottles
having been washed with water from
an Infected we'll or pond.
81. Oysters that have been bedded in
bodies of water which receive the con-
tents of sewerage pipes have likewise
been the means of conveying typhoid
fever. Only oysters eaten raw or on
the half-shell can carry Infection to the
consumer, since cooking destroys the
bacillus. .<@@
pure water supply is rightly
7 looked upon as one of the greatest es-
sentials to the healthfulness of a COM
munity. Many foods-salads, for ex-
I amp1e-cannot be cooked Or subjected
to the effects of high temperature;
while, on the other hand, washing
them in infected water may render
them the means of conveying disease.
{ I. 3a Care of the Stomach.
Among the chief ways of preventing
typhoid fever must be mentioned the
care of the stomach ITSELF 1t seems
highly probable that the natural

to destroy many germs of disease; but
the number which any stomach may
be able to digest, and thus render it's
owner safe from attack, must always
be uncertain, and it is not desirable
to test it's capacity. in this direction
The fact that only certain persons
out Of a number who have partaken
of food or drink infected with disease
germs may suffer is explainable on
the ground Of their different general
physical condition, Or of the varying
) states Of their digestive organs.

kDVaS On Qui YiYe..

When the next new moon appears in
the western sky a joyful shout will sa-
lutte the bright orb from every Kiowa
village in the Indian Territory. All
KioWas are awaiting the event with
eager anxiety, for it is to be the be-
ginning Of a wedding festival which
will last fer three days and nights.
The contracting parties are Of royal
blood, the bride being the beautiful
Leralene, the richest heiress of the
Kiowas, and 1t is anticipated that no
means will be spared to make the festi-
val the greatest ever witnessed among
the tribes of the west. - 4%z..

Music from 81 the Electric Arc

A. London electrician, Mr.. w. Dud-
dell, recently gave an exhibition Of a
novel musical instrument, composed Of
D series OF electric arc lights, which
played a popular air. When the cur
rent is passing through solid carbons
they give eff a musical sound with a
keyboard. Mr.. Duddell was sable to
vary the sounds through the scale Of
two octaVes. The key board served to
vary the self-ind uction and capacity
1 in the shunt circuit, and by employing
four arcs in series, the intensity Of the
sounds was made sufficiently great.
