HEALTH NOTES

Typhoid - W1uG1y prGFdIGuG
n o1r State. It is a communicable
disease. spreading from one case to
another. though generally in a round
obout fashion. It's extension can be
prevented by the careful observance
IF certain simple rules. For infor-
nation of the people we give these
ruIes. preceded by a statement of the
reasons upon which they are based.
IF read and needed by even a few
some lives would be saved and much
sickness would be prevented. Read
them and tell about them.
The active agency in the %causation
Of typhoid fever is a bacterium, the
bacillus typhosus, which attacks and
causes the liberation of certain
Glands in the small intestine, dew
eIoping therein by myriads. They
are therefore to be found chiefly in
the bowel discharges, although pre-
sent also in the excretion of the
kidneys and to some extent in the
expectoration of a person sick with
the disease. From one of these
sources, nearly always the first
named, the bacteria are transferred
to the intestinal tract of a healthy
person. The poison is always swal-
lowed. The most common agencies
of transfer are the drinking water,
including milk infected from wash
ing cans in polluted water, and the
common house fly, although it may
be conveyed directly to the nurse by
her own soiled hands, and sometimes
in dust. The most important rules
therefore for the prevention of the
extension of the disease may be
briefly stated as follows:
1. Cover Immediately upon their
passage the discharges-to prevent
access of flies.
?. As soon as possible thoroughly
disinfect the discharges by mixing
IN equal quantity with them one of
the following: (a) freshly made
milk Of lime or "whitewash" Gum
Stacked lime); CD a five per cent
solution of carbolic acid; (c) a 1 to
1000 solution of corrosive subli-
mate; ld) a 1 per cent solution of
t~ormaldehyde. After standing a
haIf-hour covered all the time) the
mixture should be buried (never
thrown on the surface of the ground)
at a distance from the well of not
less than $50 feet.
). Provide in the sick-room a
wooden tub one-third full of either
OF the three last named solutions,
and drop therein as soon as removed
everything in the way of body or
Oed-cIothing, handkerchiefs, towels,
etc, that have come in contact with
Tie patient, and keep them submerg-
eu until they can be boiled, washed
and dried in the sun.
+ All remnants of food that may
lot any reason be carried into the
''cA-room must be burned.
D. Ihc nurse should wash her
lands and dip them into me of the

A PULL FOR
GOVERNMENT AID
Continued from First Page

Why, only a few months ago, talk
ing to the people OF Nampa, he told
them that all that was needed to
make the Boise Valley one of the
happiest and most prosperous spots
on earth, was better water supply
and he congratulated himself on
having signed the bill which would
give it to them. Are we to infer
that neither Senator Dubois nor
Senator Hepburn, nor Representa-
tive French know anything about
this crying need? Do they not
know that the people of the Boise
Valley are struggling under burdens
of taxation and interest bearing
bonds in order to improve their
water supply? But, we ale told,
there are conflicting interests. In
all candor, let us ask, is there any
thing under heaven to prevent the
Government of the United States
from making fair, square, tangi-
BILE proposition to the people of the
Boise Valley? Is there anything to
prevent Government from ascer-
tanning what can be done and then
proposing conditions upon which
the thing will be done? We are
told, it is up to the people. What
is up to the people? Nobody seems
to know. As we understand it, the
Secretary of the Interior has had
dozens of experts in this State for
year and half, under instructions
to keep mum, until they brought it
up to Washington, D. G. The ex-
perts tell US they took it up there
in tin box; that they have done
all they can do, and now it is up to
the people. Honor bright, doesn't
this look like child's play? One
word more: The Government sent
experts into the Boise Valley to in
vestigate the situation with a view
to applying the benefits Of the Rec
lamation Act to this locality. The
experts report feasible aud desir-
able project, the only serious OBJ
stacle being complications incident
to private interests, consisting Of
water rights, already constructed
irrigation works and projected
works. The nextstep, an intelligent
and patriotic government earnestly
seeking to help its people, would
naturally take would be to ascertain
the cost of system that would ade-
quately serve the project reported
on. A number of elements might
enter into the calculations, among
them the purchase of water rights
and canals, perhaps; but the whole
thing would be figured out by the
Government and then put up to the
people in definite, clear cut way,
saying to them, here are the condi.
tons upon which you can secure
aid, when you are ready to comply
with them drop us a card at Wash
ington, D. c., and straightway
there will be something doing
Then it would be up to the people
in sensible, matter of fact way
Now it looks good deal like bun

THE GOVERNOR PUTS IT
STRAIGHT

iss & x T. < g = II ( . + j.
Amy attempt to array sect
against sect in this State is SO evil
IDENTIFY selfish that it will not sic
coed. That is the judgment of
Governor Morrison, expressed to
Washington, d. c., newspaper cor
respondent in discussing Senator
Dubois attempt to inaugurate an
anti-Mormon crusade in Idaho. As
it applies to Senator Dubois, it also
applies to the Boise Statesman and
to every other element in this State
seeking to reopen the old contest.
No doubt there are some who mis-
take their sel6shness for superior
morality and patriotism, but that,
while it may be pa1liation, in no.
wise alters the fact. Except for
few ambitious politicians, who Gull
tivate Mormon and anti-Mormon
sentiments impartially, as their in
terests dictate, and few overhead
Gus churchmen, the average Idaho
an would be obliged to read history
in order to learn that there ever
was Mormon question. The vast
majority OF those who were really
in the contest, when there was one,
have passed it out of mind together
with the things that are dead and
buried. Genuine anti-Mormons
are now more rare among Idaho
Gentiles than from 1869 to 1889
were jack Mormons, but, it is a
fact that, as rule, the jack Nor
mon class of the former period is
now the most pronounced anti
Mormon class. Of all the promi-
nent men who fought the Mormon
church when it meant something to
fight, Senator Dubois alone clings
to the "ancient grudge." We re-
call, though. that, for considera-
bic period, even he relapsed into
peaceful, satisfied contemplation of
a finished task. ...
1t should be said in commenda-
tioR of Governor MOI rison's frank
and open expression that his dec
1aration was made in the "enemy's
camp" He pointed out to the
people of the east that in Idaho,
where, if any place on earth, it
would be reasonable to expect anti
Mormon sentiment, there is none
except that which is founded in
selfshuess. Such a clear cut,
forceful expression, coming from
the Governor of the State, himself a
member of the Presbyterian church.
will do much towards clearing the
atmosphere where it is now most
dense, and allaying animosities
which have been aroused in Or
der to promote selfish purposes. 1t
must be realized that the scene Of
battle is now removed thousands OF
miles from the subject of conten-
ton. The Mormon question has
practically ceased to exist where il
arose and has been transferred to a
locality which in every real sense is
stranger to it. Indeed, the eastern
crusaders are contending against g
mere reverberation. The echo o.
the conflict which expired in Idaho
IS years ago is now disturbing the
the slumbers of Washington, D. C..
and few self-seeking agitators are
trying to beguile timid statesmen
into belief that it is the roar of Z
present battle that afflicts theil
senses. Governor Morrison .ha.
done well to undeceive the people
of the east. They should know
that, "Any attempt to array sec
against sect in this State is so evi
IDENTIFY selfish that it will not sue
ceed," for the very good reason
that the cause of contention ha
been removed.

TO BEAUTIFY CEMETERY.
Worthy MOvem ent Inaugurated
by Dawson Ladies.

The following card from a we'll
known Dawson lady speaks for itself,
and The News publishes it without
comment:
EDITOR DAWSON NEWS-Please
mention in your paper the fact tn at
the ladies of Dawson have movement
on foot to beautify the city cemetery.
Al a meeting held at the Baptist
church last Wednesday they decided
to petition the council to aid them in
this movement, They realize the fact
that the street overseer does what he
can with the time at his command, but
Dawson is growing CITY and can no
longer do with the ways OF a small
town. There is not a town in Georgia
of equal size and enterprise that boasts
of so Neglected a spot for a cemetery.
Outside of the sentiment attached to
this, the ladies are ashamed to carry
visitors to Dawson's cemetery, and
they mean to leave no stone unturned
to make their city of the dead as at
tractiye as possible.
was asked to request you to print
an article something after the above
so that the ladies who were not able
to attend the meeting last week will
know what we are planning to do. We
shall be under obligations to you.
Respectfully, MRS. E. T. JORDAN.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Lille Brown Shot in the Head
by jealous Lover.

Lille Brown, a uePro woman who
lives in Mr.. Fov Watkins back ward,
in this city, came near losing her life
at the hands of a jealous lover Monday
night.
The woman, who cooks for Mr.. Wat
kins, was called from his kitchen by
Will Potter, her dusky lover, while the
family were eating supper. Potter
was standing in Mr. Watkins back
yard and when the woman was near
him he raised his pistol and fired two
shots at her, one of them taking effect
in the left side of her face, striking
the cheek bone and ranged around
it, inflicting painful though not
necessarily fatal wound.
DR.. Goneke, who was summoned to
dress the wound OF the woman, sue
ceeded in locating the ball under a
bone, but as it could not be secured
without removing the bone, let it re-
main. DR. Goneke says it the ball had
taken effect AN inch above or below
where it entered the wound would have
been fatal.
Potter skipped after the shooting
and had not been captured at the time
of going to press.

FAVORS HANNA'S BILL.
Colonel Irwin an Enthusiastic
Advocate of Slave Pensions.

Colonel John r. Irwin OF Dawson is
an enthusiastic advocate of the prop
osition to pension ex-slaves, and has
let his views be known through COM
munication which was published in
Thursdays Atlanta Constitution. Fol-
lowing Is the colonel's article:
editor Constitutions: This PROPOSE
ton to pension the old negro slaves is
beginning to interest some of the tax
PAYERS through this section of Geor-
gla.
Hundreds of them are drawing pen.
sions now from the pockets of the
hard pressed farmers throughout the
state and those who paw these pensions
and those of US who bury them and
furnish food and clothing, medicine
and paw doctors bills for the old a1d
helpless among them, can't see what
the objection to allowing the general
government to assume the enforced
burden.
"And l desire to ask you to give me
some good business reason why the
proposition to pension them is not
right, proper and fit. AS matter of
right, many deserve it. II not, then
our officials in many counties of Geor-
gia are doing wrong in giving them
pensions from the county treasury.
"What of 1t as a business PROPOSE
ton? These old people live among
us; whatever they receive must be
spent among US, and with the propos-
ed pension law in force they would be-
come a most prolific source of revenue
| instead of burdensome expense.
"a million dollars or more yearly
scattered through the state put in the
channels of business, as evidently
would be the result of the passage OF
the law, gives to the Hanna bill a
charm that at least is interesting.
"The bill, or at least this PROPOSE
ton to pension the old slaves, deserves
! little attention from those in the
southern states who are burdened
with their care, maintenance and sup
port. Yours truly,
John r. IRWIN.
