END TYPHOID TERROR.
Preparation Has Been Found that Will
Kill the Germs,

Kill the Germs.
After months of experimenting the
chemists of the Department of Agricui-
trre IN Washington are about ready to
announce that they have hit upon prep
aration guaranteed to annihilate the germ
OF typhoid fever. The formula will not
be made public for some weeks. but the
department has concluded that at last it
has discovered the real enemy of the
typhoid germ and that the mortality in
this country due to typhoid will within
the next six months be a thing of the
past. just what the preparation is can
not be learned. The department will say
only that the solution is in the hands of
the government, that its nature will be
made known within a short time; that it
can be used in every city and town in the
country and that it will perform the
work for which it is designed. The de-
partment's preparation will, according to
plans, be given to any one who may APP
ply for it when it is decided to make it
public All cities and towns supplied
with drinking water from common
reservoir will be given the formula, so
that it may be applied in a manner af-
fecting the whole community.
