POOR SANITATION
Cause of Outbreaks of Typhoid
Fever

Says Medical Man well Known i'm
Morgantown- Warning Is one That
Should be Heeded-Now Ii the Time
TO get Busy to Prevent any Fever
This Summer.
why is there so much typhoid
fever In The towns and cities of West
Virginia now growing so rapidly2a
was asked OF DR.. Walter Leech OF
Riyesville, one of the best educated
practitioners In the State says the
Fairmont Times.
Poor sanitation, was his reply.
Take the towns of Glarksburg,
Morgantown, Fairmont, Warrington
and Grafton, for instance. Do you
mean That this applies To all these
places?,
"Most assnredly. Typhoid is al
most always traceable TO lack OF SAM
tary measures. The reason the new
towns have much typhoid is not be-
cause sanitary regulation are neglect
ed. Typhoid germs are fond of feed
ing upon decaying matter. Their fav-
orite place for existence, however, is
within the human body. They seek
all avenues and methods OF entrance
into the human system. The larger
cities have fewer cases of typhoid, In
proportion, than towns and villages.
1t Is because sanitation Is understood
and enforced In the cities.
"For instance, continued DIR.

towns you have mentioned, your own
city included, where Stops, dishwater
and garbage are profusely thrown /

need Is a system Of strict sanitation.
1t Is almost criminal to allow the
matter TO be neglected. Every physi-
clan In Fairmont Will agree with me.
..In July and August we physicians
expect the fever seanrge to begin.

family where | am called | notice a
great change, already, for Rivesville
people want TO learn these things and
prevent disease. You have typhoid
fever here the year round, OF course,
but In the months / mentioned, on
through Fall, you will observe scores
OF cases, and many fatalities. It Is
not drinking water from the hydfants
but poor sanitation, which causes
most OF your fever
DR.. Leech is "a graduate OF one Of
the foremost medical colleges Ia the
country. He has had phenomenal
success since he began pracGicing In
Rlyesville. For instance, out Of 40
cases of typhoid fever, he has not lost
case. He belongs TO the Goth cen
tnry class Of professional men, and
knows what he congerses about, and
knows 1t well. In RtyesgiIle he has
a snug Office and bachelor apartments.
His Office IS equipped with late medi-
cal and other books and current liter
allure, with instruments, operating
appliances, etc. His opinion, there
fore, Is valuable.

FUEL ExPE RiMENTs.
To Produce Peat Considerably Less
Than Hard Coal.

7 ITeFIF TIT y NVeFs
Ann Arbor, Mich, March 27.-
Profs. Cooley and Sadler and Messrs.
Allen and Anderson. of the engineer
ing department, University of Michi-
gan, are conducting experiments on
a new peat drying process with the
probability of great success. The
process, it is expected, will enable
them to produce peat for fuel pur-
poses at considerably less than the
price of hard coal.
One hundred of dry peat gives the
same amount Of heat as three-quarters
of a hundred of coal, and there are
no clinkers OF refuse except ashes.

FREE TO MILLIONS.
A Valuable Little Book Sent Free For
 the Asking.

Medical books are not always interest ing reading, especially to people enjoy ing good health, but as a matter of fact scarcely one person in ten is perfectly healthy, and even with such, sooner or later sickness must come.
 It is also a well established truth that nine-tenths of all diseases originate with breaking down of the digestion. a weak stomach weakens and impoverishes the system making it easy for disease to gain a foothold
 Nobody need fear consumption. kidney disease, liver trouble or a weak heart and nervous system as long as the diges- tion Is good and the stomach able to as- simulate plenty of wholesome food.
 Stomach weakness shows itself in a score of ways and this little book de- scribes the symptoms and causes and points the way to a cure so simple that anyone can understand and apply.
 Thousands have some form of stomach trouble and do not know 1t. They as- cribe the headaches the languor, nerv ousness, insomnia, palpatation, consti- patton and similar symptoms to some other cause than the true one Get your digestion on the right track and the heart trouble, lung trouble, liver disease or nervous rebility will rapidly disappear.
 This little book treats entirely on the cause and removal of indigestion and its accompanying annoyances.
 It describes the symptoms of Acid dyspepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia. Slow dyspepsia, Amylaceous Dyspepsia, Ca- tarrh of stomach and all affections of the digestive organs in plain language easi- ly understood and the cause removed.
 It gives valuable suggestions as to diet, and contains a table giving length of time required to digest various articles of food, something every person with weak digestion should know.
 No price Is asked, but simply send your name and address plainly written on postal card to the r. A. Stuart Co, Mar -aall. Mich, requesting little book on Stomach Diseases and 1t will be sent promptly by return mall.

SENATOR PRlTcHARD MAKES HIS ADDRESS TO THE CON-
 VENTlON.

Senator J. c. Pritchard began his speech by thanking the convention for the privilege of addressing it and re- ferred to his record as a southern and Confederate soldier. He reviewed the history of the country from President Harrison's administration, and said that Mir. Cleveland assumed control of affairs under most favorable circumstances That with the adoption of the Wilson, German tariff bill many industries were ruined and a period of depression fol- lowed. The democratic party was alone responsible for this.
 He said that in 1896 the people were confronted with the proposition whether to continue the democratic party in pow CT. That party adopted free silver In It's platform and the republican party nomi- mated William Mckinley and declared for sound money. Mckinley was elected but the republicans did not have a working majority in the senate, but a number of senators left their political as- sociates and sustained Mckinley in his efforts to place the financial and indus trial affairs of the nation upon a safe basis. The Dingley bill was enacted in place of the German bill and good re- suits followed as 1t afforded protection to every branch of industry.
