TYPHOID GERMS.

The microscope shows that in the blood
Of every person suffering from typhoid the
little germs can be found as shown above.
They are supposed to get into the water or
milk we drink. The germs multiply so
that one germ is capable of producing
ty-four hours. That is why if they ever
get into the water supply of town they
multiply so fast that nearly everybody
drinking the water comes down with the
disease. There are exceptions however,
and they are the persons whose health is
perfect, whose blood is pure, and liver
active. When the germs get into healthy
body they are thrown off with the other
poisons. Recent Chicago statistics show
that one-eighth of all the deaths in the
past two years in that city have resulted
from pneumonia
The best advice we can give is to put the
body into perfectly sound, healthy condi-
ton. Be assured that you have rich, red
blood and an active liver.
Many years ago DR.. R. V. Pierce, who is
consulting surgeon to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y,
found certain herbs and roots which, when
made into an Alternative extract without
the use of alcohol), seemed to be the very
best means of putting the stomach, blood
and vital organs into proper condition.
This seemed to him close to nature s
way of treating disease as it was possible
to go. For over third of a century DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has had
a wonderful sale and the cures resulting
from its use are numbered by thousands.

Sarcastic, But to the Point

Rah for the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway. 1t has advanced,
at one leap, fifty years to the lead, by
putting on observation cars which
have compartments for women
Ordinarily "A woman is pretty much
of an intruder in an observation car,
when she has the nerve to fight her
way through the tobacco smoke and
timidly pick out seat which ism t
occupied by the feet of some imperial
male being.
There is no doubt about it, the
most effective answer to the man who
claims America to be paradise for
chivalry would be to dress him up az
woman and make him spend two
days in an American railway coach
The custom of providing l0x1O COM
partments for men to smoke in and
Aka closets for women to dress in,
three at time, is regular airbrake
on the progress of civilization.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway ought to be given medal.

Comparison of Figures.

OF the present year little can yet be said
and still less predicted. As far as the fig
ures go It would seem to be more nearly
like the epidemic in 1895 than any year on
the health Office records since that time.
In 1895 the death rate by months. which.
after all. Is regarded as the surest test OF
the severity of an outbreak OF any disease.
was almost identical with that OF 1905 dur
ing May. June and July. In the latter
month, partic Ilarly. there were twelve
deaths IN 1895 and thirteen deaths in 1905.
In August, 1895, there were twenty-seven
fatalities from the fever and far In Au-
gust, 1863, with the month less than half
gone. there have been fourteen deaths.
Thereafter In 1895 the fatalities increased SO
rapidly that between September / and OC-
tober 81 there were Ill deaths from typhoid
fever alone. or an average Of more than
three zach day.
Before June in one year In the past
eleven years has typhoid fever claimed
many victims, and the following table (k'eb-
Tuary. March. April and May alone ex-
cludedD showing the mortality by months
from this one cause, Will give Idea of
the varying severity OF the outbreaks of
fever in different seasons. The death rate
in January, while as high or higher than IN
December OF each preceding year, usually
marks the flnality OF more or less severe
outbreak in the year before. The table is
as follows;

Divinity Students and Old Familiars.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Ridicule, contempt, religious censure will
probably be the portion of those divinity
students at the university who could not
sing or recall the words of Rock of Ages"
But they are probably no more deficient in
tie memory of the good old familiar things
than most of those who would berate them.
There was once a competition in national
songs on shipboard in which a large party
OF Americans participated. and 1t was de-
pressing to note their struggles with the
Star Spangled" We do not mean the
tune. for people never sing that song. The
limit of their ambition Is to break through
IT with as little damage to themselves as
possible. But we are referring now to the
words. Patriots all aglow with excitement
and having more feeling than dictionary
in seven languages could express began to
funk ard fall down after the first line.
There was another terrible slump after the
twilight's last cleaning. and then the hero
band was panic stricken. In the rout that
followed the song survived only In a Few

Feature of House to- House Inspection.
A feature Of the house-to-house sanitary
inspections that are being made by officials
of the health department. owing to the ty-
phoid epidemic, was a series of after-mid-
night visits that were made to the cheap
lodging houses before daylight yesterday
morning. One Of the health inspectors. &C
companied by Policeman Newkirk visited
the roomrenting and bed-letting resorts on
Missouri avenue between 80 and 9th streets
AT some of the places visited it is said
uncleanly and insanitary conditions were
found. In some of the habitations in the
vicinity of Washington's Bowery where
cots are rented to all manner of wayfarers
at 10 cents night the officers found a
number of itinerants. and 1t is said some OF
them appeared as If they had not bathed
for month.
AT one of the Missouri avenue resorts an
intoxicated individual was found undressed
and cured up asleep on an old chest.
Others were discovered to be sleeping on
the bare floors.
1t is probable a result Of these after

DISTRICT SITUATION

The opening gun in what the authorities
hope will become a general campaign for
health was sounded yesterday by Commits
sioner Macfarlsnd when. in a formal state
ment. he deprecated the tendency to panic
on account of the present outbreak of
typhoid fever. spoke for community clean
liress' and declared that the city is just
as safe now for tourists and for Its regular
residents as 1t has been at any other time
during the year-provided, always, of
course, that each individual exercises due
care in not exposing himself or herself
unnecessarily.
Others of the District authorities, while
not speaking optimistically, do not hest
tate to say that the present typhoid fever
situation might be much worse and further
that probably one of the worst features of
the present outbreak is its extreme uncer-
tainty Other years In the not very distant
past have been worse, and worse, too at this
season of the year-the element of uncer-

number OF residents OF the city. Until the

Whether this outbreak of 1905 will con-
tInue to increase no one can tell. Com
parison Is not q safe guide. Nothing but
extreme care the part Of the citizens
of the city In either boiling or altering all
drinking water can SO surely aid the au-
thorties in their fight against the disease
In certain quarters efforts have been made
to discourage bathing in water from the
Potomac river, but the statement that this
was dangerous was condemned IN more
than quarter yesterday. Bathing in
ones own bath tub at home. even in dis
agreeably murky Potomac water, was pro-
nounced an absolutely safe proceeding by
the authorities in the health Office. What
is pointed out as dangerous in this line,
however, Is the promiscuouS bathing In the
open river. mostly by those of masculine
persuasion in the city's pooulace. because
in swimming 1t is natural Tor more or less
water to be swallowed
One phase of the present situation which
would seem to partially corroborate the
theory that there Is danger in swimming
Is the fact that of the PAT cases of ty
