FEVER IN A DAIRY
TYPHOID FOUND AT A SOURCE
OF CITY MILK SUPPLY.

One of the most important developments
of the prevailing outbreak OF typhoid fever
was the discovery by the health office
cases of typhoid fever on one Of the dairy
city's daily supply of milk. Imperative
orders were given Immediately that no
milk from this farm come into the city
until danger OF infection Is past.
1t was just about two weeks ago that
the first case Of typhoid fever among the
customers served with milk from this
dairy was noted. but since that time the
fever has found nine more victims. pre-
sumabfy through the agency OF this one
milk supply. The number Of patients on
the dairymans route were deemed excess
sive by the health ONCE and an investiga-
ton was started. At almost tho Same
time reports of typhoid fever on the farm
were received. and this brought about the
more milk to the city until the miniature
epidemic among his family and help was
ended.
Customers Affected.
Whether all OF the sixteen cases Of ty-
phoid fever-six on the dairymans farm
and ten among his customers-can be at
tributed to infection carried in the milk,
cannot be determined; but as the germ-car-
rying power of milk Is so great the health
Office decided that even the unknown risk
should be abated.
As a whole the typhoid fever situation in
the city shows little change today. twelve
new cases being reported since The Stars
report closed yesterday. and seven patients
being entered on the records as cured and
discharged from quarantine.
At o'clock this afternoon there were S06
typhoid fever patients under treatment in
the city and county. A year ago today there
were 246 fever sufferers under treatment.

ANaLO-JAPANEsE TREATY,
Substance Of the Convention Sent ia
State Department.

LONDON, September THE substance Of
the new Anglo-Japanese treaty has been
communicated by the British foreign office
to the State Department at Washington.
through the ambassador of Great Britain.
Sir Mortimer Durand. The other powers
concerned have been similarly notified
through the British representatives at the
different capitals. No details of the con-
| tents Of the treaty have yet been given out
here.
Probably owing to the absence from
Washington at his summer residence at
Lenox. Mass. of Sir Mortimer Durand. the
State Department has not yet received from
him the abstract Of the new nglo-Japa-
nese treaty. So far as can be gathered in
fact the department is officially ignorant of
the conclusion of any such treaty, though 1t
is presumed that In his conferences with
the President at Oyster Bay the British
ambassador has unofacially acquainted Mr.
Roosevelt with the outlines OF the new
treaty.
The understanding now is that In entering
into this new agreement with Japan Great
Britain has had in mind the perpetuation Of
her hold on India. realizing that the prin-
cipal menace to India Is from q land attack
from the Russian possessions to the north,
which could best be Offset by japanese
troops. In return for such service on the
part of Japan the British navy would be
available to safeguard the island empire
from attack
It is believed that the Japanese have
guarded against the possibility Of being In
volved in European Quarrels by strictly
limiting the operations of the treaty in the
orient.
1t can be stated that there has been moth
ing in the alleged outlines of the treaty SO
far published that would warrant any OBJ
lection by this government to its consum-
nation.

HOLIDAY
SHOPPING
IS HEAVY

Christmas shoppers are breaking all
records this year. The holiday rush com
menced fully a week earlier and one Of
the local merchants said yesterday the
sales by his concern alone were more than
$4,000 in excess Of what they were at "A
corresponding time last year. As this
is only one store and all the others are
doing a land office business. IL is safe to
say that holiday shoppers have already
spent over a quarter OF a million dollars
more than they had last year.
The rush has shown no signs of abating.
but seems TO be constantly increasing
The streets are crowded with men and
women i'm quest OF Christmas presents
for their relatives and friends. and all the
big stores are jammed with customers
The merchants are especially gleeful that
there Is n much heavier trade with morn
ing shoppers than usual.
People are celebrating the prosperity of
the times by spending money faster than
they have done during any preceding
holiday season. The mild weather Is
credited with being i'm large measure re
sponsible for the record breaking flow of
trade. The rush commenced fully n week
earlier than usual this season and has
kept MP with ever increasing volume up
20 the present time.
The merchants are congratulating
themselves on the fact that the absence
OF serious storms has greatly facilitated
the delivery Of Christmas goods. There
seems no end 10 the variety OF things dis
played for sale and all OF them seem 10
strike the fancy OF the holiday shopper.
The tendency seems TO be towards the
purchase Of useful gifts TO a much greater
extent than In years gone by. There Is
also n strong demand for more expensive
TOYS than the trade has called for In
former years.
The holiday rush nccessitates the en-
ployment of a great deal OF extra help

~ tho smaller ones. Managers are eN-
periencing some difficulty IN getting the
kind OF boys they want. but cash girls
