TYPHOID FEVER
Something About its Cause and
Prevention. A Good Article
For Every One to Read

is, "W hat causes typhoid tever!"
and, What can be done to pre-
vert it!" The answer is SIM
pie one: First, typhoid fever is
caused only by one variety of
germ, the typhoid bacillus; sec
ond, destroy the germ or prevent
its entrance into the system and
there will be no typhoid fever.
The disease is not contagious
one; that is, the germs are not
given off by the skin or breath
and carried in the air, but gain
entrance to the human body
through food. and drink. 1t fol-
lows, then, that if all we eat and
drink is free from these germs
we cannot have typhoid fever.
We cannot tell from appear
anCes whether or not germs are
present, for the clearest, most
sparkling water may swarm with
them, while the muddiest, foulest
appearing water may be harm
less. Nor is water even the COM
monest medium of infection, for
milk, fruit and foods of all kinds
are equally good germ carriers,
and in the writer's opinion, ordi-
narily at fault oftener than the
drinking water.
Milk lis an excellent medium
for the typhoid bacillus, and once
it is infected they multiply very
rapidly.
Infection may occur in two
ways: The water used to wash
the cans and bottles may contain
the germs, and the infection of
the milk when il is put into the
cans and bottles follows as mat
ter of course; the other mode of
infection, and the commonest, is
through the medium of the ordi-
nary house fly.
Repeated experiments have
proven beyond the shadow of
doubt that flies crawling over the
discharges from a typhoid pa
tieut or an infected vault or cess
pool, carry the germs on their
feet. If. then, they enter the
house and light on the milk or
food, infection takes place and
disease is the consequence.
In 1898 the secretary of war
appointed a commission of ex-
perts to examine into and deter
mine the cause of typhoid fever
which prevailed SO extensively in
most OF the arnly camps that
year. They found the water sup
ply IN most instances pure and
wholesome, but the vaults or
latrenes were open and not suf-
ficiently removed from the COM
missary and mess tents. Flies
readily passed from one place to
the other and infection of food
occurred.
The number of cases Of fever
among the officers was proper
tiouatel Y much less than among
the privates because the tents of
the former were screened and the
flies kept out.
In those camps where the
closets were sanitary no typhoid
existed, although the water sup
ply was no better than that of
the infected camps.
In our own town where nearly
every back yard contains an open
vault and cesspool, the con-
ditions are especially favorable
for the propagation of typhoid
fever, the more so during a hot
and dry season when the flies are
thickest.
Drinking water is the least
harmful thing we have.
What then shall we do? First
look to our vaults. A generous
quantity of air-slacked lime
should be added at least once a
week and the top covered with
fresh earth. Cesspools should

Especial Canton CO., letter.
THE mound where the body of
William Mckinley will eventual
ly lie, and over which will be
reared the memorial of the people of
the United States, is in the farthest
section of Westlawn cemetery. With
out question it is the most beautiful
spot in the country. Senator Charles
w. Fairbanks, of Indiana, one of the
trustees of the Mckinley National
Memorial association, which is rails
ing the funds for the memorial tomb,
said, when he first beheld it, that it
was "the finest spot out of doors in
all the world" The mound rises in
q gentle slope about Is feet from the
little stream that lies at its feet and
curves in a similar graceful sweep
to the east. A carriage road lies at
its base at the edge of the water and
another one mounts the hill and
circles it at the back. It is purposed
to use about five acres of the mound
its very best part, in fact-which
will give ample room for the stately
tomb that will be erected there and
for the spread of greensward to re-
lieve and soften it.
Lying there William Mckinley can
look with spiritual eye upon the
town Of Canton, whose chief glory he
was; he can see from the eyrie of his
monument the home where he was
SO. happy and within whose stricken
walls rests his devoted widow. And
as he turns his gaze over the ceme-
terry it will light on the graceful lit
tie marble fgure-a rosy boy with q
basket of flowers-that keeps watch
and ward over the tiny graves at its
feet. There is long stretch of years
between these little mounds and the
great one that looks down upon
them, but in all the time that elapsed
from the day that he first turned and
left his babies in their graves to the
glad one when he lay in the same
cemetery beside them, William Nc
Kinley's heart was ever aching for
these little girls. It was the greatest
sorrow that ever entered into his life
and no glory that ever came there
after ever lulled it into sleep. It is

q part of most oriental religions to
keep the women in seclusion, and
that Mohammed of blessed memory
made the command binding one.
Although the women OF Japan
Corea and China are more or less Sc
cluded, particularly the women OF
China, who live in the zenana, they
do not wear wells. While they go
abroad in closed sedan chairs, their
heads are guiltless of bonnets even,
except when severe cold weather
makes some sort of head covering
necessary.
Turkish danes Of high degree wear
dainty squares of white illusion CO.
quettishly wound about their heads
and faces, which cover but in nowise
conceal their beauty. This style has
been growing smaller and more
diapkanous until now the Turkish
woman's face is less concealed than
the European woman's who clings to
the close square of tulle.
The Algerian women wear yards OF
soft gauze about their heads and
shoulders. When coming in contact
with European men these are grace
fully draped so as to leave but the
upper portion Of the face visible.
The fve-yard sarong Of the Parsee
women makes dress skirt, covers a
greater portion of the body, leaving
one arm and shoulder free, and is
then most artistically arranged about
the head. The Nautch girls, who
wear the curious nose-rings and ex-
pensive jewels on their feet and heavy
anklets, make use of the sarong in
their gliding dances, but they seldom
use them for face covering. The mar
ried women and widows of the
Basque provinces use combination
cloak and hood similar to that worn
by the women of San Miguel.
Mohammedan women have variety
Of face wells, modified by climate and
the country in which they live. The
Yasmak of the Turkish and Egyptian
women is unknown to the women OF
India, who envelope their faces in the
folds of long, narrow gauze wells or
shroud themselves in their beautiful
" embroidered sarongs.-Louisville

MRS. LELAND STANFORD.
sAe Enjoys the Reputation Of BEING
1reatcst Woman Phflan.
thropist OF Our Time.

N at any time in the future a his
TORY OF philanthropy in America
should be written, the name of Mrs.
Leland Stanford would have a promi-
Aent place in that history. To her
would belong the distinction of hav-
1ng gwen more to the great cause of
education than any other woman of
ner generation. Her private benefac-
=, IONS will never be known, but they
nave been many and large. She takes
nrst rank in the amount she has
given to educational, charitable and
other institutions.
Mrs. Stanford was a Miss Jane La
throp and she was born in the year
1879, SO that for six years she has
Ased on the borrowed time of those
who go beyond the threescore and
ten years of life. When she married
Leland Stanford about so years ago
ne was poor and struggling young
lawyer.
1t was Leland Stanford who
brought about that great triumph of
modern times, a railroad across the
Rocky mountains. His business in
stinct told him that the great west
could never rise to the full scope of
Its wonderful resources until it was
connected by bands Of steel with the
east. The best railroad engineers of
that day said that railroad up and
over the Rocky mountains was be-
yond the limit of human achievement.
Other engineers thought it possible,
and Leland Stanford said that it
should come to pass. He set to work
with invincible resolution to have the
road constructed and on the 10th day
of May in the year 1869 the road from
the Atlantic coast and the road from
the Pacific coast met at Promontory,
Utah, point $50 miles from San
Francisco and little more than 1000
miles from Omaha. The last spikes
that connected the two lines of road

only another example of how des-
tiny works for him after death as it
did in life that their graves are to
lie there hereafter in the protection
Of his mighty tomb, whose shadow
will cast benediction upon them.
Back of these pathetic little graves
lie those of his father and mother
and sister. Between them-a link
in death as in life-William McKin-
ley would have reposed himself, had
not the love and honor of the nation
willed otherwise.
Until the memorial tomb is built,
the body of William Mckinley will
lie in the public receiving vault
where it was placed on September
IS, 1901, the day of the funeral. The
massive con rests as it was placed
there last September, encircled by
the folds of the stars and stripes.

HISTORY OF THE VEIL.
lts Oriein II Lost in Obscurity, AL
though 1t Was Doubtless First
Used in the Orient.

The custom of wearing face wells
among the women of the orient is q
very ancient one, and undoubtedly
the wedding and widows wells of our
day are remnants of that old world
fashion. The oriental woman prizes
her veil beyond any other article Of
her wardrobe; rather than have .
strange man look upon her uncovered
face she will snatch curtain, coun-
terpane or her petticoats in her haste
to conceal her features, utterly re-
CARELESS of other parts of her anato-
my which may be exposed by the
action. This need not seem so very
absurd when we remember that it is
