Had You Thought OF Il?

II you were offered $1,000 year for
your services. and were asked to de-
posit $40 as guarantee that your du-
ties would be promptly and satisfac-
torily performed would you accept? Of
course you would.
$40 is the small amount of money
required to take six months course
in the Huntington Business Univer-
sity at Huntington, Ind, so as to
prepare for such position, and $1,000
per year is the salary that the United
States government is offering for STEM
ographers. Business firms In large
cities are just as much In need of Of
fee help as is the government, yet
there are thousands OF people who
have never thought OF how easily they
can make themselves capable of earn
ing large salary. The person who
is lazy or skeptical will not give this
information a second thought. while
the person who has higher aim in life
than to merely eat and sleep will in
vestigate this opportunity, and he will
not wait about it, either. Young peo-
pie In this locality are wide awake
enough to know a good thing like
this and we hope to hear of their CIV
ing this matter immediate conSidera-
tion.

tion, free. to those who inquire.

Typhoid is Conta gIous.

DR.. Robert Koch, the world renown-
ed physician and bacterOlogiSt, says:

communicated from man to man, and
that it is highly contagious-as con-
tagiOuS as cholera for instance. 1t
can be restricted and fought by the
public health authorities and hence
forth must be subjected to the rules
and regulations that apply IN cases of
cholera One case is propagated by
another, in spite OF ordinary precau-
tions. First one person is sickened,
two or three weeks later second,
again after a few weeks third etc, -
a perfect chain. The disease was
communicated by inhaling the pa
TENTS breath, by a handshake, by
wiping his brow, by washing his linen
in the same tub with the rest of the
peoples. etc. Whenever typhoid ep-
idemic breaks out the water supply is
blamed, and usually with excellent
cause, but in the majority of cases
peoples unclean habits, negligence
and downright contempt for scientific
rules and regulations are no less
blamable. Small children often suffer
from typho fevers in mild form so as
not to be obliged to take to their beds,
the illness passing for simple diar-
rhoea. AS consequence no precau-

The most remarkable features of the

the officers and men of the defending

of 200 PAGES they were invisible, even
to those who knew their exact loca-

The outside of the trenches was COW

ranged as to the resemble the re-

the men twined grass around their
hats, or tied branches upon their Shout

concealment that birds flying in from
the front perched in the transplanted
bushes above the lines of infantry be-

them.

Seams That Foretold the Disaster.
The accident was the most disas-
trous that mas occurred in the con-
ktruction Of the subway. At the point
where the cave-in occurred gang Of
twenty men was at work In the tun-
mel. which Is about 40 feet below the

two converging seams had appeared In

Fell just After Blast.
Three blasts had been let of just
before the catastrophe and ten minutes
after the explosion Timothy Sui
Ivan, the foreman, and Electrician
Schultz advanced, the latter intending
to string wires and hang electric lamps
to light the way. They We're followed
by sixteen workmen. The vanguard
Of the gang had reached the broken
stone when a rumbling sound was
heard. 1t grew In volume with light
ning-like rapidity. Those In the rear
had just time to turn about and run
when, with a deafening crash. hun
dreds of tons Of rock fell on the men
at the face of the boring. The drill
ers and two or three Italians who were
out Of reach Of the fall of rock were
knocked fat on their faces by the rush
Of wind driven through the tunnel.
Had to Amputate His Leg.
When the roar had ceased the cries
Of injured wOrkmen echoed through
the tunnel, and relief work was at
once organized. The first victim found,
an Italian laborer, was piniOned ON a
shelf OF the excavation by one leg, a
boulder OF about ten tons In weight
having fallen on the limb. He was
hanging head down. The rock which
held him vas restrained from falling
further by a small piece of stone in
securely wedged under 1t. An examina-
ton showed that an effort to move the
boulder would cause the Italian to be
completely crushed. The doctors then
determined to amputate the pinioned
leg, and this was done In the light Of
the ambulance lamp. The man died
later.
Pathetic Incident.
The most pathetic incident In connec-
ton with the accident was the finding
of the body Of Foreman Timothy Sui
Ivan. From about o'clock In the
morning until after daylight his 10
year-old son Samuel had stood close to
the policemen who were helping the
laborers and blasters pick away the
debris and could not be induced to
leave until the body of his father had
been extricated and taken from the
tunnel
