Typhoid fever will be come more
prevalent as the winter advances" is
the statement of prominent physl-
clan. 1.-THE winter season affords II
favora BILE conditions. People are more
indoors, houses are not always wei
ventilated, and in many cases drink
ing water is full Of disease-carrying
germs. Use of impure water causes
more typhoid than anything else.
Then many live in houses over cellars
that have water in them.
also people eat food that has been
stored in rooms and cellars. They lie
longer in bed, and do not exercise
enough to keep in condition. The con-
sequence is that they are more sus-
ceptibIe to disease of the nature OF
typhoid.
I'm towns where there is no filter
ing system the danger is very great
and each year the problem becomes
more grave River water can't help
being impure with all the waste mat
ter of hundreds of cities and towns
emptied into it, Notwithstanding the
fact that it is claimed to purify itself
every few miles. Even though it does
do this before it has time to go very
far with the purifying process, new
waste is emptied into 1t and the work
has to be begun anew.
1.-The grip is sure to come with win
ter and last until spring. 1t gets the
strongest of us and makes us mlser-
able for many weeks during the cold
weather. What it really is, is uneN-
plainable. \ general breaking down
of the system, combined with colds
and nervousness, is perhaps the best
definition that can be given it. Out
of community of 200 people L have
seen as many as 90 taken with this
dreaded disease in one day.
s.Pneumonia is caused by similar
conditions. but does not usually APP
pear until the breaking up of winter
and the coming of spring. The warm,
sunshiny days of early spring after
the ennui of the winter proves very
inviting TO most people, and without
sufficient protection they go to enjoy
as much of the pleasantness as they
| can.
~ cold seems little matter to the
one having it. Besides the unpleasant
ness of having the head stopped up
| for a few days. or the lungs tritie
sore from coughing. nothing more is
| thought Of it, but every precautIon
| should be taken to prevent the adj
vance of a cold into more serious com
! plicatiOns.
The sore throat should not be neg
lected. \ peculiar dryness of the
throat will he noticed for few days
! before the person discovers that he Is
| n victim of tonsilitis. and there Is
nothing more unpleasant or disagree
| able than this.

Catarrh Cured.
All phases of catarrh, acute or chronic,

such a worldwide reputation as sure

Mr.. Jas. o. Norm, 1179 Ontario street.
Montreal, Canada, writes: -
" Peruna is certainly a great catarrh
remedy. 1t cured me of catarrh of the
head and gladly indorse it. Canadians
are peculiarly afflicted with this disease
and for years the doctors have tried to
overcome it with elixirs, powders and
pills, but Peruna has solved the question
and since the medicine has been estab-

been cured of catarrh."-Ja o. NORM.
If you do not derive prompt and salts

covered Four Miles Eight Times to
Get Her Kittens Back to Her
Old Quarters.

And the cat came back. I believe
that is the name of a song popular
some time ago, but I have evidence of
the fact that there was never truer
saying" said C. T. Chichester, of Syra-
cuse, N. Y, to a Washington Star man.
"A friend of mine in Syracuse conducts
a brewery, and grocer friend pre-
sented him with an old cat and four
kittens that had very recently been
born. The old cat and little ones were
carried to the brewery and securely
locked in. The next morning the cat
and kittens were on the front porch of
the grocery store waiting to- he let in.
How do you account for that? The
grocery was four miles from the brew
cry, and the kittens were too weak to
walk even few yards. If the cat car
ried them back in her teeth she must
have done so one at a time, making
eight miles for each kitten and 80 miles
for the entire litter, or else she relayed
them, carrying one a little distance,
then going back after the next, and so
'on, until the last one had been depos-
tied in her first stopping place. and so
on in short distances until she reached
the store. You can figure out the dis
lance she travelled in this way

BEAVER DAM IN NEW Jersey.
Curious Conflict Between Wild AMI
NAL Life and Agriculture Near
n Great Civ.

Mr.. Justus Won Lengerke recorded
in our columns two years ago the dis
covery of colony of beavers in the
wilds of New Jersey, region from
which the animal was supposed to have
been exterminated long ago, says For
est and Stream. The precise location
of the colony Mr. Won Lengerke Judi
ciodsly withheld flor he was apprehen-
eive that the beaver would prove a
temptation to the trappefs.. But now
the animals have revealed their where
abouts and forced themselves into pub
lie notice by reason of their beaver ma
ture and the activity and enterprise
which it has prompted. They have
built dams and overflowed the ada
cent farm lands, and landowners have
at last become tired of DESTROYING
their work. and are now seeking some
measure of relief. At Mr.. Won Len
gerke's SUI question, the New Jersey leg
islature passed a bill for the protection
of beaver; and the aggrieved farmers
are thereby restrained. Taken alto
gether, this2is very curious conflict
between wild life and agriculture
within two hours of New York CITY. ?

A Telegraph Message That Was Ter
ribly Translate Il by the
OPERATOR.

/ A well-known literary woman went
over to Michigan to prepare her sum-
mer cottage for occupancy during the
summer. Before going she made ar
engagements with her husband to have a
lot of household goods packed and for
warded by steamer, relates the Chica go
Tribune
For some reason the shipment was
delayed. and she wrote inquiring the
cause of the delay.
"Please wire me when the goods
have been shipped,'' she said in con-
clusion.
The husband went hard to work and
personally saw the books, hangings,
and other property packed for the trip.
Then he went down o the dock and saw
them safely on board the boat.
Coming back from the river he
stopped lat a telegraph office and sent
the message as requested
'Lares and Penates on board boat"
he said. evil arrive tomorrow morn

And this was the way the telegram
read when the boy brought it to the
waiting woman in the little Michigan
town:
