THEORIES of all sorts have teen adj
-yanced bv physicians and layman alike
regarding the source of the typhoid fever
epidemic which sprang from the Alma
College commencement dinner but the
absence OF laboratory analysis of every
thing which NIGH, be attributed 70 ITS
cause still confines it to theory.
Gtatements that the disease originated
from infected ice cream served that day
are without positive proof 1t may have
been a case of ptomaine poisoning instead
but nobody knows ii any rate sc are
all agreed that its origin was IN some
thing served at that dinner, and the fact
that OF the fifty or more people through
ont the state who are sick with the dis
ease fell III about the same time and all,
with one exception who have been re
ported. attended the banquet is proof
enough 10 bear them out.
The water supply has been analysed III
Ann Arbor and Saginaw and pronounced
GOOD and the same is true of the milk.
Other conditions about the city are shown
to be equally sanitary from the fact that
nonew cases have developed since the
BANQUET after the prescribed time OF be
coming i'll after infection. Health Officer
=. r Lamb made immediate investiga-
ton with the first signs OF the disease and
reported 10 the State Board of Health,
but The perpleNity was as deep as ever
as to It's origin until a day or two ago,
when q doctor from Bay City assumed
the responsibility of solving the mystery
lie begins his explanation lbs asking
the uususpccuug public ii it may not
have been mosquitoes instead of impure
ice cream which caused The fever cpl
demic. surely this is am age which
develops wonderful gray matter Mos
quitoee which were born on the river
bank are found 10y this doctor to be guilty
of the offeuse The most wonderful part
of his discovery Is that these germ-laden
mosquitoes are a special brand which
have strong utilization for bauqueters,
and especially college students and pro-
fessors, others are immune This doctor
would probably be scared to death if he
knew that typhoid germs entered his
system almost every day OF his life and
his mosquito theory is, Of course, entirely
new. If he will look up on the map and
find Alma he will discover that the river
Is made of water, and that it flows con
siderable distance from the College. He
informs Us that the dam went out here
during the heavy rains and s,agnan,
water bred the mosquitoes, all of which is
erroneous.
These assassins all departed as soon as
the banquet was over and migrated in a
north-easterly direction.

DrRI~c the last fiscal year all previous
records OF both exports and imports, and
consequently of oU total foreign trade,
were broken. For the first time in a hs-
cal year our exports exceeded - So, 900,
600. the exact figures being SI.5IS, 400 ,S35.
Our imports amounted to SLu75o15 500,
leaving favorable balance of S4oo,9S5,-
S3S. An increase of Il 20, 900, 900 in i'm
port, is quite enough. while an increase
of So, 100000 in exports is, under the
circumstance, very satisfactory. so long

markets we must open our own to the

THE CffUTES
chicago's Most Popular Public Park

In the wonderful life of Chicago moth
ing is of more interest than The Chutes
This brilliantly lighted, hag-enshrouded
park at Jackson Boulevard and Kedzie
Avenue is an ideal resort for gay throngs
Within its enclosure the "Velvet Coaster"
gives thrilling mid-air rides. High over
head a marvellous flying machine offers
hazardous adventure to the multitude.
Shooting the Chutes" is Chicago
habit. Passengers go skyward on gigan-
tic steel structure. At a dizzy height
gondolas start down a steep deciivity over
which rush cascades like the famous
falls of I.odore.
The gay craft descend with the speed
of the winds to the bosom of an Artificial
lake where they dash swiftly forward on
foare-crested waves to placid harbor.
While Weldon's big military band fills
the park with music, rubber wheel cars
laden with shouting, laughing merry
makers descend on undulating tracks like
uoiseless phantoms from a distant planet.

Collecting Gaming Losses.

The United States supreme court
has just sustained the Ohio statute
providing for the collection of money
lost at gambling and making the owner
of the building responsible for money
thus lost within its walls. The Ohio
statute is understood 10 be practically
the same as that of Illinois. and the
opinion constituting il was handed down
by Justice Peckham in the case of
Belle Trout vs. William Marvin. The
case involved the cOnstitutiOnality of
section 4273 of the revised statutes of
Ohio. authorizing any person who loses
money at gambling TO bring suit for
its recovery.
Mrs. Trout is the wife of Frank
Trout. and Marvin is the owner of the
building in Findley, Ohio, in which
Frank Trout is alleged to have lost
S5.0S2 on one occasion and S1,794 on
another. Mrs. Trout sued under the
state law 10 recover and was given
judgment by the trial court. That
judgment was sustained by the state
supreme court and the present opinion
confirmed the decision of both of those
courts.
