Physicians Declare Them RESPONSE
BILE for Spreading Disease.
If Chicago people had stayed at home
during their vacations this summer and
drank good lake water, the health de-
partment would not be coping with nearly
200 cases of typhoid, as is the case at
present. This is the conclusion of the
health officers, who have made an exhaus-
tive investigation of the situation. They
wondered what was causing SD much ty-
phoid, as the city itself is healthy enough.
Calling for facts from attending physi-
clans, the guardians OF Chicago's sanitary
welfare found that 80 per cent of the
total number of typhoid were contracted
outside the city. This figuring was made
on the basis of known cases. There may
be many other cases in the city for all
the Board of Health knows, as number
of otherwise careful doctors have habit
of keeping the news to themselves when
they are treating a disease which should
be reported to the department. The num-
Der OF typhoid cases directly traceable to
the outside vacation habit is much larger
than last year, when the percentage was
placed at 33.
The beautiful sparkling spring water"
which many resort prospectus tells
about is good enough to swim in, but the
Chicago health department would advise
the seeker after country joys to take
along cask of the real thing taken from
Lake Michigan for drinking purposes. The
doctors think some way that man is
more apt to take typhoid when travelling
than when at home attending to his bust
ness. They do not wish to be understood
as knocking on the vacation habit, Of
course. They merely want to warn peo-
pie so that vacations may be taken on
an intelligent basis.

VETERANS PARADE THROUGH
SARATOGA NJ. Y.
Gov. Hughes and National Officers

iOnaI COlOrs and Then Review
RaniSs-FIag Draped Grants Bier.

Martial music, the old war time tunes
to which the soldiers of the Civil War
had marched in many campaigns,
awakened Saratoga at an early hour
Wednesday-the day of the parade of
the veterans who attended the national
encar1pment of the Grand Army of the
Republic. 1t was expected that $4,000
paraders would be in line and the
weather, which was unfavora5le in the
early morning, gave promise of bright
eninS before the hour scheduled for the
start
Significant of the failing strength of
the veterans was the fact that the pa
rading distance was reduced to one
mile-the shortest ever fixed for the
national encampment. For the first
time the parade was limited to mem
bers of the Grand Army instead of be-
ing open to all survivors of the war.
The national colors covered the
fronts of buildings, were festooned at
every convenient point, strung in rows
at short intervals across the streets and
completely covered the interior of the
great convention hall, where the SEES
sions of the encampment were held.
Flag Recalls Gen. Grant.
One of the features of the parade was
the presence of a big flag which covered
the body of Gen. Grant on its way from
Mount McGregor to the tomb In Gus
tody of the grenadier guard, command
ed by Col. I. NJ. Sterrett of st. Louis,
of which every man was over six feet
tall and each representing one of the
forty-five departments of the G.. A. r.,
this old flag brought up the extreme
rear, escorted by the whole parade and
being carried at last along the whole
line of review.
AS planned, the national officers in
carriages with Gov. Charles f. Hughes
led the line, the chief of staff i'm COM
mand being J. Cary Winans of Toledo.
The department of New York State, al
though entitled by seniority to fifth
place, selected as hosts the left of the
line, which included a representation OF
every department, including Alaska,
and of every branch of the service. The
parade was reviewed by Gov. Hughes
and the national officers of the G. A. X.
The days program began with a re-
ception at Congress hall, the New York
State headquarters, in honor of Gov.
Hughes at IL 80 a. IN. At - 80 lunch
con was served by the department of
New York TO the Governor. Commander
in Chief Robert b. Brown and his staff,
past national officers, department COM
manders and the other distinguished
guests. Meanwhile there had been re-
unions of the various organizations.
The real business of the convention
began Thursday with the annual adj
dress of Commander Brown, reports
o. officers and committees and election
of officers.

That State control of interstate rail-
roads has ceased by virtue of the Hep
burn rate law is the broad ground of an
appeal to the federal courts now made
by the Missouri Pacific railroad from a
writ issued by the Supreme Court of
Kansas. The writ was issued in favor of
the Larrabee Milling Company of STAFF
ford, Kan, TO compel the Missouri Pacific
to continue the practice of delivering cars
to the mill over Santa Fe tracks, which
cross at that point, at the old rate of 81
a car. 1t was conceded that three fifths
os the mills business was interstate. The
defendant railroad now asserts that the
State court has no jurisdiction, and that
the road is wholly under the control of

INCREASE FARMERS EARNINGS.
Big Gain for Year Due to Higher
Prices of Products.

According to a preliminary report on
crops, published in the American Agricul-
turist, the American farmers earnings are
S1.O0O.00O,000 greater this year than last.
This big gain will be entirely due to the
increased prices of farm products, as the
production in general will be fully 10 per
cent less in quantity than in 1906. which
was the bumper year.
1.-THE farmer was never in so healthy a
position as he is to-day-fnancially, So
cially, politically, mentally and spiritu-
ally" says the report. ''The increase in
the value of his real estate has been pro-
digious. He owes less money than ever
before. He has greater assets than ever.
Again, the farmers wants are greater. He
is in the market for more and better
