IMMUNE FROM TYPHOID.
Arabs are Practically Free from the
 Disease.

Medical Talk
 Some Frenchman or other read paper before the Paris Society of Biology re- gently which makes the statement that the Arabs are practically immune from typhoid fever. That is to say, an Arab can bear any kind of exposure to typhoid fever without taking it. They account for this peculiar bodily condition of the Arab from the fact that ever since his early infancy he has been reared on impure drinking water. which, in the countries where the Arabs abound, is notably bad. It Is saturated with all sorts of contain ination.
 This has had the effect of weeding out the weaker ones and leaving only those to live who can stand typhoid fever germs. The grown Arab, therefore, is able to bear exposure that would give a European ty- phoid fever at once. This, however. is rot intended as an argument for the use of impure drinking water. It only shows that the human system is capable of ad- justing itself to unfavorable conditions.
 But while the Arab is immune from ty- phoid fever, he is especially susceptible to consumption. This fact is accounted for by the reason that he has been ac- customed to the very pure air of the mountains and when exposed to the eli mate of Europe he quickly succumbs to consumption. He can stand our drinking water. but he cannot stand our climate.
 The whole subject of national suscepti- bility and unsuseeptibility to disease is a very interesting one. It may be, after all, that our climate, which is so peculiarly provocative of catarrh, will at last pro- duce a race of people that will be practi- cally immune from catarrh. We hope so, at least. At present it is a national dis ease, and nearly everyone has it.
 The very best authorities in chronic ca tarrh state that there is such thing as immunity from this disease. The cold bath every morning. gargling the throat with cold water. spashing the neck and chest with cold water-if this is practiced thoroughly every morning it will practi- cally render anyone immune from ca tarrh.
 Padding the feet every evening in cold water might also be added to this regi- men. This practice hardens the nervous ystem against the vicissitudes of the weather and will soon produce condi- ton of the system in which the subject need have no fear of catarrh.

WHAT DO THEY THINK NowP

Lately a number of enthusiastic John ston organs. taking their cue from con- temporary wholly without influence or responsibility, have iterated and reiterat- ed such alleged information as the fol- lowing, which we clip from The Bessemer Workman:
 While The Advertiser has harmed Gov crnor Jelks by it's harsh and unwarranted denunciation of thousands upon thous- ands of Democrats who have ever re- mained loyal to the party at any and all times. 1t has well-nigh ruined it's own usefulness and popularity as fair ex- ponent of men and measures, ana all oe- cause 1t is mad at Governor Johnston.
 Some of them went further and assured their readers with the most cheerful and insistent positivity that "Jelks is already defeated and The Advertiser did it by It's abuse of Johnston"
 Now, will these more or less esteemed contemporaries. taking them on their own lins of argument, not admit that the converse of their proposition is true, and that to The Advertiser Is due the credit of the Governors splendid majority? And will they not have the fairness to admit that The Advertiser defeated Johnston by exposing his record and nuilifying his unfounded claimsf
 To say that this paper "has well-nigh ruined its own usefulness and popular humorist. Never in it's history was The Advertiser more popular and never has it exerted a stronger influence in the cause of right than it did in the late campaign. We say it without any inten- tion to boast, but as positive fact, that it had a predominating influence in the campaign, not only because of its own editorial and news service, but as the ve 1icle through which the friends of Governor Jelkc carried the truth to the people of Alabama throughout the State.
 The Advertiser has no quarrel with those of its contemporaries who gave their support to the ex-Governor. If they thought it their duty to support John- ston they did right 70 support him, but they ought now to have the fairness to admit that The Advertiser was right. as it usually is, and to take sits assurance that 1t has lost none of its popularity, it's usefulness or It's financial standing by earnestly, honestly and persistently sticking to the right side and the right man
 A very large majority of the newspa- pers of Alabama did grand service for Governor Jelks, and for fair trial of the new Constitution at the hands of its friends. The Advertiser has felt ever since the magnificent alignment of the State papers on the right side that Ala bama was safe from a return of John- stonism. All honor to a free. incorrupti- ble and untrammeled press.

CREAM of the SPECIALS
HITCH IN CANAL DEAL.
Summons of Mr. Knox to Paris Sug-
 eests Faulty Title.

From Washington to Chicago Chronicle.
 Attorney General Kpex's sudden decis- tend the work of his assistants who are investigating the affairs of the Panama Canal Company for the purpose of deter mining whether or not it can legally transfer a title to its property on tne isthmus is interpreted in Washington to mean that a serious obstacle has been encountered in the French capital
 About two weeks ago official announce ment was made at the Department ot Justice that Mir. Knox would not go to Paris unless his presence there was deem- ed absolutely necessary. At the same time 1t was explained that if the investi- gators already on the ground experienced no difficulty in ascertaining the facts which are necessary to establish the right of the Panama company to make trans fer MT. Knox would remain in the United States.
 The call for the Attorney General was abrupt and unexpected. The officials of the Department of Justice in Washington are unwilling to admit that the Assistant Attorney General, who Is now in Paris is in difficulties and that MT. Knox is going there to pass upon number or questions which involve the integrity ana consummation of the Panama deal in its entirety. Washington, however, believes that this Is the case. It recalls that Sen ator Morgan and Representative Hep burn, Chairmen respectively of the Sen ate and House Committees which have controlled canal legislation for many years, expressed the conviction that the Panama Company had nothing to sell Both consented to the substitution of the Spooner bill, under which the purchase is . to be made, for their own Nicaraguan bill only because they were profoundly con- vinced that their judgment relative to the inability of the Panama company to transfer its property and franchises would be sustained by a lawyers investigation of the books and records of the com pany. Both the Senator and Representa- tive had devoted many years of their lives to profound study of isthmian ca nal problems. Both had made investiga- tions of the affairs of the Panama com pany.
 Within a month Senator Morgan has reiterated the assertion he made on the floor of the Senate during the closing hours of the last session that the Law Department of the government will dis cover that the company possesses noth- ing which 1t can sell legally. It is con- ceded in Washington that MT. Knox will speedily ascertain the facts after he ar rives in Paris. He will go there with comprehensive understanding of what the promoters of the Panama deal claim in behalf of the powers of tho company. If these claims are supported by the Attor- ney Generals researches he will recom- mend to the President that the property and franchise be purchased in accordance with the terms of the Spooner resolution. If he finds that the claims are not justl- fled by the facts the President can pro ceed under the same resolution with the construction of the Nicaragua canal.

 Among the important cases before the United States Supreme Court in wnlcn an opinion Is expected early In the iaii term beginning in October is one having a close application to the trust question.

Sweet and Forty.

It is now claimed that it is when she is 40 that a woman is the most fascinat- ing. Though her face may have lost the look of hope and expectancy that so many consider the great charm of youth, 1t Is stronger and expresses character more clearly.
 ,fhere are differences of opinion. One artist said that he disliked to paint the picture of a woman between the ages of 25 and 70 years. Another. however, pre- ferred to study woman between the ages of 30 and 10.

Those Vlrginians are plaguey hard to please When you think you are compli- menting them, they find something to kick about. We verify believe that if one should affirm that John Smith was a great Virginisn, some of their newspapers would swear that he was not Virginian at all Lately we tried to placate The NorkfoIk Landmarksman, whose local pride was badly jolted because we had expressed a feeling of doubt that mint tuieps were indigenous to that State. but instead of getting thanks for our com plaisance. we get this:
 It is satisfactory in fact, but not in tone The admission comes as if drag 9ed out with heavy corkscrew. Crow fs much better when eaten with gener- osity sauce. Anybody would think that The Advertiser had been subjected to the water-cure.
