The Relation of Typhoid Fever and MIX
| I'm the last monthly bulletin of the State
Health Department of New York is discussed
the relation of typhoid fever and milk inspec
ton, declaring that there is Misrepresentation
| in many minds as to milk being a medium in
the spread of the fever. The bulletin says:
| I'VE often find in suspected milk epidemics
| suspicion directed to the cows themselves and
the condition under which they are kept and
| fed These are very well to be looked AFTER
but cows milk does not receive its typhoid in
| fiction in this way, and no matter how unsan-
| ilary their condition or poor their state OF
health cows will not give typh0id-infected
milk. On the contrary, typhoid fever may pc
communicated through the medium of milk
from perfectly healthy cows, kept under the
most sanitary conditions.
THE investigation must be prosecuted along
different lines or the cause of an outbreak OF
typhoid fever of milk origin will be overlooked
and the remedy fail of application. 1t should
be rememered that the germs of typhoid fever
are of human origin; that if they gain access
to milk it is after it has been drawn from the
animal yielding it, and the search for the source
of infection of milk born epidemic must pe
prosecuted along those lines and no other"

lower end citizens of prominence are among
the projectors. These men are interested with
Lancastrians in the extension of the trolley
from Lancaster county into York county via
the York Furnace river bridge, which is to be
built. They propose to extend the line from
York Furnace to Delta. there to connect with
q line being built from Baltimore to Belair,
and is to be extended northward to Delta.
1.-THE later line has at its head 3. A. Williams,
a former Republican candidate for the Gov

extend their line northward from York Fur

power to be used will be supplied in time by
the great electric power plant at McCalps Ferry.

some length on the cure and prevention OF
sickness. He said in part:
Inspire the sick man with confidence. 1t
is not from outside that he is to get well not
from drugs with their temporary relief, only
to paralyze the patient in the end. Teach him
that he must get rich physically from his own
capital supplied by nature. The sick man is
often sick because he is indolent.. Many OF
our women who play golf and walk and run
would not need all that exercise If they did a
little more work at home. A great deal OF
sickness is due 10 unwillingness to practice
self .restraint I talked with q man the other
dav the foremost man in his state, who COM
plained of indigestion, and told me that he
chewed tobacco and drank whisky to relieve
it. With all bis learning, he was far more
ignorant about Natures laws than Choctaw
Indian or a six-year-old child. We cannot
violate with impunity Natures laws. We may
do so for time. but the price she exacts is

NAPOLEON'S ORDER.

In a book published by DR.. Lud-
wig Buchner of Berlin, Germany, is
found the following touching anec-
dote:
"The horse" said Napoleon, ''is the
link between the animal and God.
How do we know that the animals
have not a language of their own?
think it very rash to deny it simply
because. we do not understand it,"
In the wars of Napoleon an officer
named Lamont, in a hussar regiment
was several times saved in battle by
his horse. and out of gratitude took
more care of the animal than of him
self. In 1909 Lamont was killed In
an engagement on the Danube, but
the horse would not quit the body
and with teeth and hoofs kept of
every one who wished to remove it
The matter was reported to Napoleon
who gave orders to leave the horse
alone and watch him. According tC
the statement of the sentinel, the
horse remained with the corpse al
night, and in the morning, havinS
snuffed it from head to foot, uttered
pitiful cry. galloped off to the river
plunged in and was drowned.
Horace Vernet is said to have per
petuated this horses memory in pic
ture.

portrayal of the poverty in the me-

The letter says New York's proper

in the country; that 100000 idle men
are in the city now, or 40 per cent
more than last year.

TRAGEDY OF THE INLAND EN-
PIRE.

The Columbia river, the most mag
nificent natural highway for the
commerce of an empire on the Amer
lean continent, is barred to river
transportation because the congress
of the United States is in the hands
of the corporations.
The annual scene in the 3O-year-old
tragedy of the Inland Empire has just
been enacted. Congress has refused
to appropriate sufficient funds to re-
move the obstacles from the river, to
allow the passage of the boats bear
ing the commerce of the Eastern
oregon. Idaho and Washington dis
tricts, the Portland rings have sent
messages of protest. politicians have
shed crocodile tears. the Legislature
has passed its usual spasmodic reso-
luton. declaiming on the subject OF
Oriental trade and commercial su-
premacy for Portland and the 250,-
900 people of the Inland Empire
blink their eyes in the glare of this
old stage performance and pay theil
toll to the railroads.
Had the office of United states
marshal or collector of customs al
Portland been in jeopardy, Oregon
politicians would have sent dele
CATION to congress to rescue the
state; had the rights of oregon cor
porations been jeopardized by con
gress, the best men in politics in the
state would have been selected a:
special ambassadors to plead then
cause before congressional commit
tees.
But the matter OF river transporta
tion only concerns the common peo
pie. the hard-handed producers Of
oregon. so the politicians, the legis
lature and the influential citizens o
the state are content with sendini
lukewarm messages of protest to tn,
