TO AVOID TYPHOID.

Lemon Juice Said to Prevent Infection
catering the Blood.
It has become a settled fact that
typhoid is water-borne disease.
Many people have neither the facilities
nor the inclination to purify their
drinking water-hence trouble. In
England a school Of tropical medicine
has been experimenting a long time to
discover a means of protecting the
health Of troops on the march against
the impurities Of the stagnant water
of the tropics. They have at last pro-
duced a tablet Of citric acid which best
answers the purpose.
Lemon juice is one form OF citric
acid, and if not too greatly diluted will
so injure typhoid bacteria as to make
them practically harmless.
The typhoid germ has filaments at
either end something like the fins of a
fish, by which it propels itself. The
effect of lemon juice or any other citric
acid is to shrivel up those filaments,
which prevents the germ from pene-
trating the tissues or entering the
blood.
While DR.. Jaques, well-known
Chicago physician, advocates the lib
eral use Of lemon juice as preventive
of typhoid for those who lack facilities
for boiling impure water. he further
says that neither citric acid nor lemon
juice has any curative properties after
typhoid fever has developed.
Typhoid fever" he says, 'is caused
by the germs penetrating the tissue and
entering the blood. They do not remain
in the intestines, as was formerly sup
posed. Once the tissues have been pen
etrated and the blood becomes infected
the germs are beyond the reach OF
citric acid. They are affected by ii
only when they are fully exposed
Even then they will not be destroyed,
but simply deprived of their power to
penetrate the tissue and infect the
blood"
The discovery of the European bac-
teriologists in this respect is not alto
gether new, according to the same au-
thority, as many Attempts were made
during the Civil War to induce the
Northern troops in the South to use
lemon juice freely in drinking water
as q preventive Of typhoid, and many
of the oldest practitioners have pre-
scribed lemon Juice for years for the
same purpose.

resentative Cannon of Illinois, chair.

coming back to the window after hav.
ing disappeared for moment, with
the note in his hand, 'but we can't let
you have this"
why" asked the applicant, isn't
that Endorsement good? It's Uncle
joe Cannon, chairman of the commit
tee on appropriations, you know"
Eyes, 1 know that; the trouble is
that it is too good. But we don't
know you so well. Suppose you should
fail to pay this note. We would hard
ly like to ask Mr.. Cannon to pay it.
We have to go before the committee
on appropriations two or three times
each year to request favorable action
on certain legislation. We would hard
ly want to call upon him to pay this
note If you should fail to do so.''
"Oh, that's it, is it," replied the
young man. "But suppose I tell Rep
resentative Cannon that you have re-
fused to accept his Endorsement?

Dolly varden's First Party.
Her mother called her 'Don;' her
grandpa called her dolly varden;''
and she was little girl years old.
One day her father brought her a
letter from the postoffice- 1t was small
and pink, and looked good enough to
eat. Dolly Warden could not read. so
her father read it for her. It said:
Miss Jenny Barry requests the
pleasure Of Miss Dolly Varden's COM
pany next Wednesday afternoon from
till 5 O'clock"
Jenny Barry was another little girl,
a very dear friend Of Dolly Varden's,
who lived just a little way round the
corner.
When Dolly Warden heard what was
in the letter she was so pleased that
she danced round the house all day,
singing:
9TH going to party-a really. truly
party-to Jenny Barry's party-yes, l
amr'
Wednesday came at last, and as soon
as dinner was over Dolly Warden
begged to be dressed at once, for fear
she would be late at the party.
So mamma brushed the nice long
| curls over her fingers. put on the little
red shoes and a white dress with u
little red sash, and said:
"You may go now, If you do not like
! to wait"
But Dolly Warden went into the par
1rrs nd In q a 10 fr
near the window. She did not want
to be the first one there, and so she
i waited, thinking some other little girls
would come along soon, and she could
60 with them.
But no little girls came that way,
grew very tired, for you see she had to
sit very still SO as not to muss the
white dress.
After a long time mamma came into
the parlor. "Why. DOLL" she said
what are you waiting for? You musi
hurry, now; it Is half past 3.''
There haven't any little girls gone
there the first one"
fretty soon mamma came IN again,
and said, "Come, Doll, If you are going
at all you must start now. It is
o'clock
But Doll said, "Oh, I'm afraid If ]
go now I'll be the Last one there, and
I'd hate to be-"
So Dolly Warden still sat in the big
arm chair and watched; and no little
girls went by, because they had all
gone round another corner long before,
and she grew very unhappy indeed
She wanted to 80 to the party, but
she was afraid to, and the more she
thought Of it the worse she felt. And
there was the party just round the
corner!
Pretty soon the big tears began to roll
down over the pink cheeks, and after q
little the nice long curls were al, in a

SOME FREAK INVENTIONS.

Is fer Z gallows % constructed that

automatically sets in motion devices
which spring the trap after q suitable
interval, thus causing the culprit to

Another freak device Is a mechani-
cal appliance for putting on overcoats,
but it is not known whether or not the
inventor provided the machine with a
suitable slot for the insertion Of tips.
This is q thing the T1p-takers' Union
should look after, and If the machine
is found incomplete In that essential
particular they should promptly boy
colt the inventor.
Something for which there might Be

those in sisable towns. is IN automatic
appliance for letting down a latch key
from an upper story at time Of

Whether or not the machine would re-

Then, all of a sudden, the front door

The little girl ran over to her, and put

from the north and destroy the power
Of the sun!
For these dying things were icicles,

Mr.. Williams and the Judgeship.
Baltimore Mems

The movement looking to the appointment
of Mr.. Stevenson A. Williams to the position
Of Chief Justice of the District Of Columbia
Court Of Appeals, about to be vacated by the
retirement of Judge Alvey, is very natural
one. Mr.. Williams qualifications, by ability
and character, for that position are all that
could be desired. But we Marylanders should
look at the matter not only from the point Of
view, but also from that of the public interest
of the State Of Maryland. Mr.. Williams is one
OF the public men that Maryland can least af-'
ford to spare. To put him on the District Of
Columbia bench would be, to all intents and
purposes, to terminate his connection with
the future political possibilities Of the State.
This would be most serious loss to the peo-
pie, and it is not clear that It would not be q
loss to Mr.. Williams. He is a man in the full
vigor Of life, and there may well be contingent
cies in our political future that would permit
him to play part in which he, with his capa-
city for leadership, and bis remarkable hold on
public confidence and esteem could take far
more satisfaction than in the exemplary per-
fornaaaee of the duties of District of Column
bia iudgesbip. We trust that whatever the
disposition Of the powers that be as to the APP
pointment, this will be the view of Mr.. Wfls
liams himself.
