TOO MUCH TYPHOID.

There has been and is too much ty-
phoid fever in Salt Lake City this fall.
AS a matter of fact. any typhoid is too
much, because this is one of the dis
eases that is regarded by medical au-
thorities as absolutely ~preventable.
The health officers do not seem to be
making any effort to prevent the dis
ease from spreading. or even to ascer-
tain its source. They content them
selves with g~eneralizing.
Conditions in Salt Lake City, climatic
and otherwise, are not conducive to the
spread of typhoid fever. The air is
pure and wholesome, there are COM
paratively few flies. and sanitary reg
ulations are fairly well complied with.
Best of all, the water supply, which is
tested at regular intervals for disease
germs, is as nearly perfect as the water
supply of any large city could possibly
be. In this respect Salt Lake ranks
foremost among cities of its size.
1t is reasonably certain that the ty-
phOid cases this fall have not beer
caused by the water. The milk sup
ply is the next consideration. By a
process of elimination many people in
Il time like this view the milk with sus-
pici0n. believing that if the water is
good the milk must be bad when there
IS typhoid in the city. This is often
true, but it is not necessarily true.
Typhoid is disseminated IN various
ways. The milk n the water may
both be all right and yet a single case
may infect an entire ne~ighborhood.
Flies will infect the food, the germs
WIFI get into dust and the dust in turn
Is blown upon food. There are. indeed,
a dozen Ways in which the disease may
be carried. Physicians should warn
those having charge of the nursing of
patients upon these points. They
should be cautioned against the care
less cleansing of utensils used by the
patients. the sick room should be thor
oughly guarded against flies, an6 only
those persons whose presence is abso-
luteIy necessary should be admitted to
the presence of the patient.
And housekeepers generally should
see that the vegetables and fruit they
use are thoroughly washed with pure
water, and scalded whenever possible.
Milk should be sterilized by boiling, il
the slightest suspicion attaches to it.
Typhoid fever IS too ~treacherous and
too costly a disease to trife with.
Every case involves, at the best, weeks
of illness and hundreds Of dollars of
expense. At the worst it means death
In addition to all the rest.

day With Roosevelt out of the race.
Speaker Cannon stands as good a N
OF the nomination as anyone"
The Republicans are desperate, in
deed, when they talk of Roosevelt for
a third term. Is there no other nan in
he party who is fit to be president of
the United States? The Taft boom,
fathered and fostered by the president,
has apparently collapsed. In spite Of the
furious publicity campaign conducted
from Taft's Cincinnati headquarters, in
spite of all the efforts put forth by the
administration for Taft, the big secre-
tary has been losing, rather than gain
ing, ground.
Does Mr.. Roosevelt see this and is
he prepared to take the nomination
himself in order to defeat Hughes or
Fairbanks or Cannon or some other
possibility tina he does not like?
Would Hull come directly from the
White House with a talk for Roosevelt
if he had not received some encour-
agement from the president? 1t does
not seem likely. And yet, If President
Roosevelt does accept another nominal
ton. he will brand himself as the most
monumental hypocrite that every at
tanned prominence in American poll
tics.
He has said with all solemnity, not
once only. but many times, that "un-
der no circumstances will / be a can
didaJe for or accept a nomination for
a third term" These are plain words.
Mr.. Roosevelt used them after he had
had time for calm elaboration. It is
pure rot to say that no man can re-
fuse to heed the call of the people. Mr..
Roosevelt is as much the master of his
fate, "the captain OF his SOUL" as any
free-bcrn American citizen. If he hon
estly does not want to continue in Of
flee he can refuse to permit the pre-
s%entation of his name to the next Re-
publican convention. His name will
not be presented.
AS a Democratic newspaper The Her
aid would not be averse TO the NOM
inatiOn of Roosevelt. With the handi-
cap We have referred to he ought to be
the easiest mar in the country for the
Democrats to beat.

EGYPTIAN "SOUL HOUSES"
They Were Buried Under the Sand
for 5000 Years.
New York Tribune.)

During last winter many pottery
models of houses were brought to light
in upper Egypt. They came from a
large cemetery near Rifeh, in the Nile
valley, and belonged to the ninth or
twelfth dynasties, which would be
about 300 to $500 B. c.
The models were on the foot plain
formed by about half a mile of desert
between the cliffs and the Nile mud
cultivation and cut in a gravel shoal,
accumulated by wash from the desert
hills during rare storm bursts. So ex-
ceedingly rare were these storm bursts
that they probably occurred only once
N a generation. In 5000 years about
twenty-five inches of gravel had ac-
cumulated at the rate of about half ar
inch each century.
Explorers on cutting through these
twenty-five inches discovered hundreds
Of graves. All had been plundered of
their valuables long ago, but h plum
derers had taken nc heed of the pottery
model houses. The models are believed
to have been placed on the grave to
provide shelter for the souls when they
came out in search of ~sustenance.
These early models, being much! ex-
posed. are seldom perfect. Their ORR
gin is I'm the tray of offerings. which,
however, were felt to be insufficient for
a soul coming up from the earth be-
low, so a shelter for the soul was ac-
cordingly built, apparently copied from
the Bedouin tent.
Later, a small hut, in shape like a
sentry box, was provided, sometimes
containing a chair; then a portico was
added, a raised cope put round the
roof, and a canopy and shelter from
the sun added above the water tank,
which had from very early times been
a part of the offerings.
In time a whole upper story was
added, with a veranda along the back
of the roof, and wind openings, and
then furniture began to be added. In
the latest models Of soul shelters there
is a couch in the front portico, to get
the coolest air at night low down
There is, too. q chair on the upper
floor, TO avoid the dust and hot all
from the ground during the day. Jr
some models there is also q stool, AMI
beneath the staircase leading to the
upper story a woman making bread
with a large water jar by her side
The offerings are placed against the
wall between two doorways. There is
considerable variation in minor &c
tails.

PEAL HIGH FINANCE.

The government moved the offices it
maintains in New York into its own
handsome new building the other day
and ceased to be a tenant of the Ma
tiOnal City bank. The announcement
makes timely, a story OF high financier-
ing that is really high. Eight years ago
the government sold the New York
custom house to the National City
bank for the sum of $3,265, 900. The
bank put up no money. Instead it de-
posted its own check for the sum of
S3.215,0O in its own bank, $50, 600 being
withheld under an agreement tina it
was not to be paid until the govern
ment moved into it's own quarters.
Thu purpose in postponing this pay
ment was to leave the title to the prop
erty in the name of the government for
as long a period as possible in order
that the bank might evade the pay
ment Of taxes upon it. II the mean
while the government was to pay the
bank S190,6 0 a year as rental. Also
the bank was to have the use of the
governments 1925, 900. A New York
contemporary has figured it out that
the actual cost of the custom house to
the bank was 1851, 400, and the value of
the property is conservatively estimat-
ed today at S. 900, 900. Seems to be a
reasonably good bargain, doesn't it?
1t is shown that the bank received
in eight years for rent the sum of ST.
| 044 SO0- IT aUera ped not lose thap A nor
cent interest per year for eight years
on the governments money, or $1,O2S,-
500; it saved in taxes at the rate Of
$4,000 a year for eight years. or $780,
900. The grand total was 81, 639, 500.
The net profits Of the bank on the
transaction are figured at s., 1868, 900.
And the beauty about the deal is that
it cost the bank little money and prac-
tically no effort.
The curious thing about the trans
action is the governments end of it.
Lyman j. Gage was secretary Of the
treasury at the time, and the deal was
negotiated through him. To the or
binary business man it would seem
poor business to sell the old store or
Office building before the new one was
ready for occupancy. The ordinary
business man. we repeat. would hold
on to his property, especially if, as in
the New York case, there was a
strong probability that it's value would
be enhanced with the passage of the
years. He would want that profit for
himself.
The government, it appears, does
business on a much more generous
scale. This seems to be particularly
true where banks are concerned. Still,
we cannot help wondering whether
the secretary of h treasury, if he had
been acting in his private capacity,
would have allowed any such transac-
ton to go through. We hardly think
he would.

The Goats Change of Faith.

Near small Baptist church not far out of the city there lives an old Irish man who keeps goat. One day, find- ing the church door open, the goat wandered inside and browsed around among cushions and books, much to the detriment of those articles. The pastor chanced to catch the animal at his mischief and lost no time in going to the owner to complain. "You will have to keep that goat tied up," began the minister. "He went into my church just now and''- But we was allowed to proceed no further. The old Irishman held up both hands in amazement "Wint into your church. did he? Thin I can't be responsible for him no more, tn ongrateful haste. If that goat has turned Protestant I wash me hands of him."-New York Times.

The Old English Danes Schools

The descriptions of some of the danes and other schools of the early part of the nineteenth century are eA- ceedingly interesting. Many of these ancient teachers were unable to write an intelligent answer to a simple ques- tion. One on being asked as to the terms on which she gave instruction replied: Mot understanding the ques- tion, I answer thus: With view Of reading the Bible" We have the au- thority of the late Lord Shaftesbury for the statement that one of these poor creatures, being asked if she gave moral instruction to her scholars, re- piled, "No, can't afford it at 3 shil. lings week." A more amusing an swer, however, was that of the teach CT who was asked whether proper at tent{on was paid to the morals of the boys under his care. His answer was that "they did not teach morals there. as they belonged to the girls depart ment. t."-Westminstcr Gazette.

aamp and How to Cook it.

Samp ana 0oW tO NooN uI Samp is one of the most delicious and appetizing of all corn products or by products.
 Give us thu, bowl of samp and milk By homespun beauty poured!
 So sang Whittier Whittier didn't know how to eat. He lived on air. The very suggestion of milk with samp Is nauseating. It is worse than mush and milk and grits and cream. Roger Williams knew all about samp, and this is how he had it cooked: Crack the corn into about four pieces to the grain. Soak 1t all night in water. Skim of the skins which float in wa ter. Boil on slow fire until tender, with q piece of salt pork in the pot. When the water is dried out, introduce some good butter, some salt and pep per and serve hot. The Indians of Massachusetts used any kind of fresh meat for a f1avoring and called the dish "saupac." You may have all your oatmeal, hominy, grits, mush, meal, polenta, etc, but let me have the samp when I can't get "lye hominy. ."-New York Press.

A Frog of Peculiar Habits,

South America has frog of peculiar habits. Dwelling in the virgin forests. at the tops of the highest trees. it chooses as site for its nursery some hollow stump and then proceeds to line it with resin procured from trees in the neighborhood. This lining serves to catch and hold the rainwater, with which it quickly becomes filled. As soon as this takes place the eggs are laid therein, and here they undergo dc velopment into tadpoles. How the re- sin is collected is mystery, nor is it yet known how the separate pieces be- come welded to form the water tigh, basin necessary to insure the safety of Fthe treasures deposited therein.
