CONTRADICTS A NEWARK
THEORY OF TYPHOID FEVER

Newark's health authorities say
that the snow this winter has kept
typhoid fever cases at a minimum IN
that city. They assert that sno"
covers the dust, dirt and filth OF the
streets, preventing the spread OF the
germs and that therefore this winter
there have been fewer cases than IN
previous years.
In Morristown thirteen cases OF
typhoid we're reported to the health
authorities last year, and two cases So
far this year. A local physician III
speaking of the matter said that he
did not believe that snow had any
effect upon the typhoid germ.
Typhoid fever is probably as old as
civilization, he said. " Doubtless
Huxham's slow nervous fever des-
cribed in his essay on fever was the
typhoid of to-day The bacillus is
long lived. 1t remains vital for three
months in distilled water. When
buried in the upper layers of the soil
it retains its vitality for nearly six
months. Cold has no effect upon it,
for freezing and thawing several times
has failedsto kill the germ.
"Typhoid is undoubtedly more com
mon in late summer and autum than
at any other time OF year. 1t has been
observed that hot and dry summers
are followed by more cases than moist
summers -

one of them.
Don't be ashamed to proclaim your
love for him. Tell him often and de-

thing to think about.
Don't put him on the fire escape to

An ounce of forgiveness is worth a

him, and subsequently sold this stock

CORY.

Deputy Sheriff Ira w. Cory, died at
his home on Early street last Wednes-
day morning after an illness of several
weeks from pneumonia. He was 63
years old. At the beginning OF the
civil war he enlisted in Co. X. 18th
Regiment, N. j. Volunteers as SER
geant. Subsequently he was trans
ferred to Co. Fl. 18th Regiment and on
July 2, 1868 was made captain of that
company. He was a good fighter and
participated in the battles OF Gettys-
burg, Charlottesville, Wilderness,
Yorktown, Malvern Hill and in the
Wilderness.
In 1887 he was elected Sheriff of
this county on the Republican ticket,
He was appointed Deputy Sheriff
after his term expired and held
that position until his death. 1t is
doubtful if there was ever man in
Morris County who knew more about
the Sheriff's Office than Captain Cory.
He is survived by wife and three
sons, Robert George and Ira w. Jr.
Funeral services will be held to-mor-
row afternoon. The A. T. a. Torbert
Post, G. A, r. will attend in a body.
In 1874 Captain Cory served on the
Morristown police force. This was
at the time of the building of the
State hospital. The police force was
then increased to six men and after
completion Of the building reduced to
two.
