Typhoid Germs on Fruit.
From the Baltimore sun.

From the Baltimore oun
Carefully wash, or, better still, peel all
of the fruit and vegetables which you eat
in the raw state, and the chances of your
contracting typhoid fever will be very much
lessened.
This is the. theory advanced by Dr. d.
w. Cathell, 1908 North Charles street.
DIR. Cathell declared that he was convinced
that seven ont of every ten cases OF typhoid
fever which have come under his notice
since he has been practicing have been
caused not by water or milk, but simply
because the germs were On the surface OF
the fruit or vegetables eaten by the patient.
IF there has been typhoid fever In
locality, said DIR. Cathell, ''it is very
reasonable to believe that the germs have
gotten into the SOIL and especially in view
of the way farms and gardens in the yicln-
ity of Baltimore are fortified. Now, the
germs get into the wells and streams BY
being washed down by the rain, SO why
should not fruit and vegetables which have
been in contact with that soil bear the
germs on their surfaces.
ssThe rain frequently washes the earth
up on the tomatoes as they hang on the
vines, and peaches and apples fall to the
ground and often lie in puddles of water
which may be infested with the germs OF
typhoid. They are picked up, rubbed OH
and taken to market.
IF you will look at tomato you Will
frequently, and, indeed, generally, lind
earth on it in one place or another. Where
it joins the stem there is often quite cav
ity left when the vegetable is gathered,
and there are generally seams and depres-
sions in it, in which you can find traces OF
the soil. That is where believe the germs
Turk. Why, when man has half peck
of tomatoes from locality where there has
been typhoid, he probably has 40, 600
germs.
ssMany people will take tomato or
peach and will rub it off with their hands
and eat it, without stopping to think what
danger they may be running. The fuzz
of the peach makes it easy for the germs
to cling. Radishes, too, which come right
out of the ground, may be source of dan
ger, and cantaloupes would be another
were it not that we do not touch the rind
with oar lips.
s'Typhoid germs live and propagate IN
the soil, and they may be there for months
or perhaps years after there has been
case of the disease near by.
"What strengthens me in my belief that
it is the dirt on the fruit and vegetables
that people eat that gives them typhoid is
the fact that the disease is only prevalent
during the season when there is great
deal Of fruit and vegetables and people are
most apt to eat them raw. Take the skin
off of the peach, apple or tomato when you
eat it and in that way you will avoid the
germs. This is such simple precaution
that anybody can follow it, and the theory
itself is SO simple one that | am surprised
that it has not been generally advanced.
In all the course of my reading of the hit
erature of typhoid fever l have never come
across it, however.

Many Burn to Death in Western
Forest Fires.

KALAMA, WASH, Sept. 14.-News
reaches here that the forest fires on Lewis
river have wrought sad hayic, many per-
sons losing their lives in the flames.
D. L. Wallace, his wife and two children
were burned to death. They we're camp
ing in the woods when caught by the fire.
Their wagon was found burned up, the
charred bodies lying near,
A 12-year-old boy of Mr. Manley also
is dead. Mrs. John Polly, her baby and
brother and Mr.. Newhouse and Mrs.
Graves are dead. Fifteen other persons
were found without any clothing except
gunny sacks
Five logging camps are burned out com
pletely.
A courier just arrived from Lewis river
states that only two houses are left stand
ing on Lewis river from Trail place to the
head of the river, distance of 30 miles,
and that not less than so persons have
persisted.
The fire has spread from Lewis river
north to the Kalama river, and so sections
of the finest timber on the coast have been
destroyed.
Oak Point, 20 miles below Kalama, on
the Columbia river, has been destroyed.
No lives were lost, but the loss to property
is estimated at about $500, 900.
A great fire is also raging on the Cove
man, in the northern part of the county.
Everything combustible in its path has
been consumed The air is thick with
smoke and falling ashes. Three lumber
camps are reported destroyed OF badly
damaged. Two men from Bars camp
are reported missing. People are panic
stricken and crazed over the loss of prop
erty.
Residents of Cowlitz county thought it
was going to escape until today, when the
reports came thick and fast, each worse
than the last. Five persons are dead and
two missing, with only partial reports from
the burned district.

Took It Out In Thinking.
From The New York Times.

On one occasion Bishop Potter was a
guest at the Storm King club. After a
comfortable dinner he sent telegram to
one of the officials of the New York Cen
trail railroad asking him to stop the night
express at Storm King station, on the OPP
posite side of the river.
He drove down the mountain and hired
boatman to row him across. Arriving
in good time, he and the boatman waited
in the rowboat until the approaching train
warned them to seek the station only to
see the train arrive, rush by and disappear
into the darkness.
The bishop was irritated.
WELL he said, ~ am bishop of
the Episcopal church, and | suppose my
calling will not allow me to say anything. .
"Well," replied the boatman, 81 am
Methodist, and my principles will not
let me say anything.

Useful To Know.

A little lemon juice cooked with boiled
rice will keep the grains separate.
If the milk Is rich, lemon favoring or
the grated rind of a lemon is good to use
in puddings but if the milk is skim, va
nilla essence adds to its richness.
Put a little turpentine in the water used
for scrubbing the floor. It gives the room
delightful fresh smell.
Boiled meats intended to be eaten cold
should be left in the water in which they
were boiled until cold.
New tins should be set over the fire
with boiling water in them for several hours
before food is put in them.

Encouragement.
From The Catholic Home Companion

From The catholic Home Companion.
Whenever you can consclentlously
encourage any one, do SO. You would
not leave those plants in your window
without water or refuse to open the shut
tiers that the sunlight might fall upon them,
but Won leave some human flower suffer for
want of appreciation or the sunlight of
encouragement. There are few hardy
souls that can struggle on stony soil, shrubs
that can wait for the dew and the sunbeams,
vines that will climb without kindly train
ing, but only few Utter the kind word
when we can. Give the helping praise
when you see that it is deserved. The
thought that ''no one knows and no one
cares blights many bud of promise.

It is difficult to account for the enor-
nous velocity of some birds fight when
migrating. The northern blue throat goes
at the rate of $40 miles an hour, flying
1900 miles from Egypt to Heligoland in a
spring night of barely nine hours. Vir-
gilman plover fly from Labrador to North
Brazil, 5000 miles, without stopping, go
ing at the rate of 636 miles an hour, and
probably more How can this speed be
attained The birds resort to great heights,
where the resistance of the air is slight.

Cemetery Monuments.
From The Atlantic.

What is more sadly comic or incongruous
than the imposing medley of stone and
marble in great cemetery? The towering
columns loom over the resting places of such
small citizens. The "dove of peace
alights where it would never have brooded
of it's free will The guardian angel bends
over the vixen tomb, while mediocre bits
of slate denote the graves of many sanity
and lifted pilgrims.

A Cup of Coffee as a Barometer

"A Cup VI OOAS0 as q Dosl oAAA0
A writer in scientific paper suggests
that ordinary people may forecast the
weather with some degree of certainty by
means of cup of coffee. He directs that
one or two Jumps of sugar be dropped care
fully into the coffee, and if the air bubbles
that rise rush suddenly from the center to
the side of the cup rain may be looked for
during the day. If the bubbles gather in
the centre and then pass to the side slowly
there will probably be light showers But
if the bubbles rise to the center and stay
there the day will be fine. He does not
give the philosophy of the thing, but it is,
of course, due to the relative weight, and,
therefore, moisture of the atmosphere.
