Holds The Worlds Record.

Mrs. w. G.. Taylor holds the
worlds record as the fastest writer
of shorthand in a given time. Mrs.
Taylor, without any previous know
ledge of shorthand, after four
weeks study. wrote $50 words of
new and difficult matter to the
minute. This is by far the great
est record ever made in so short
time.
The Byrne Simpli6ed Shorthand
is the only system published that
possesses such wonderful speed
possibilities together with legibi-
lity. The average student will
make a proficient stenographer
with this system in three months,
Those who are apt will learn it in
much less time. For example, G.
H. Hallmark. wrote 164 words OF
new matter, court reporting, after
81 days study; Angus Wynn 100
words in 30 days; Miss Ida John
son 225 words in eight weeks. Ex-
amples too numerous to mention
might be added.
The Tyler Commercial College,
Tyler, Texas, will gladly send you
free it's large illustrated catalogue
explaining the advantages of this
wonderful system of shorthand,
also their practical methods of
teaching bookkeeping and bust
ness training, typewritting and
telegraphy.

CHOLERA IN THE PHILIPPINES.
The Efforts Made to Stamp Out the Disease

AS was the case in Cuba at the close OF the
war with Spain. one Of the chief difficulties en-
countered by the American government in the
Philippines is that Of stamping ont disease. A
special effort has been made 20 rid the islands
OF cholera and the quarterly report OF the Blu
reau OF Health for the Philippines for the first
quarter Of 1906 shows that in Manila there was
a rapid decrease in the number OF cases in that
period. Cholera in the infected provinces. how
ever. continued with the same intensity IN that
quarter as in the one preceding II. with the ex-
ception OF Rial. where II has been almost en-
tireIy eradicated. BY the middle Of January the
cholera infection had firmly established itself IN
the provinces OF Pampanga, Bulacan and Cavite
The local authorities seemed 20 be unable TO
stamp out the disease without some outside
help, and accordingly early in February all the
available force Of the Bureau of Health was sent
10 these provinces for the purpose Of aiding the
provincial and municipal officials a general
plan OF campaign was mapped out The disease
was first cOmbated in those towns which Pre-
scented the greatest number Of cases. but as soon
as the situation in them was under control the
inspectors were sent 70 the most distant points
TO which the infection had spread. with instruc-
lions gradually 20 work toward a common cen
ire This had the effect of throwing Gordon
around the infected area. with an ever diminish
ing diameter The infected towns We're almost
without exception situated upon rivers, and by
gradually working down along these and leav
spectOrs arrived at the sea cholera was eftectu-
ally stamped out. In each municipality the aid
Of the local authorities was invoked This not
only had the effect IF furnishing large corps of
sanitary workers at minimum expense. but IL
also served the purpose of practical school OF
sanitary instruction whereby the municipal Offf-
GERS were enabled - learn how they could COM
bat future outbreaks
II was the general experience that the disease
could be eradicated with much more certainty in
the more prosperous communities. while on the
other hand in certain parts of Cavite. in which
there is possibly as much ignorance and poverty
as anywhere on the Islands. the disease has not
Yet been entirely stamped out. In the town OF
SimilOan II was determined 70 try stamping out
the disease on the basis that IL trans
mitted BY flies. The success OF this plan ia
shown by the figures. When the campaign be-
gan there al average of about eleven cases
q day on the first dGy this number was re-
duced to six. on the second day three, and after
that there were none
No fair test of the cholera vaccine could be
made because other sanitary measures which
were necessarily started at the same time al
ways succeeded in eTadiCating the disease be-
fore the vaccinations could become effective.
