TYPHOID GERMS.

The microscope shows that in the blood
OF every person suffering from typhoid the
little germs can be found as shown above.
They are supposed TO get into the water or
milk we drink. The germs multiply so
that one germ is capable of producing
about one hundred trillion germs in TWEEN
ty-four hours. That is why if they ever
get into the water supply of town they
multiply so fast that nearly everybody
drinking the water comes down with the
disease. There are exceptions however,
and they are the persons whose health is
perfect whose blood is pure, and liver
active When the germs get into healthy
body they are thrown off with the other
poisons. Recent Chicago statistics show
that one-eighth Of all the deaths in The
past two years in that city have resulted
from pneumonia.
The best advice we can give is to put the
body into perfectly sound, healthy condi-
ton. Be assured that you have rich, red
blood and an active liver.

RESENTED BY RUSSIA
The Idea That WASHINGTON Thinks
the Time Nearly Ripe for
Mediation.
(By the Associated Press. J

ST. Petersburg, Oct. 1S.-2.0S %. m.
An announcement from Washington
saying that the administration believed
that the time for mediation in the Far
eastern war was approaching has
created an untaVorable impression in
government circles here, where there
is an inclination to associate it with
the interview of the Associated Press
with diplomat at Toxic suggesting
the propriety of renewing efforts in
behalf of the restoration of peace. The
idea of peace, it is asserted here could
hardly come more inopnortunely with
the japanese in the full flush of VIC
tory. 1t has aroused only resentment,
and there is no doubt that if Presi-
dent Roosevelt should actually attempt
to open the question at this time he
would meet with a rebuff.
