lime, eight ounces to the gallon OF

quantity and a quart OF this should
be put in the bed pan or vessel
each time before it receives the
discharges, and should be imme-
diately burned, Attendants
should wash the hands and lips

gious in the sense commonly I'M
derstood, and if the precautions
above indicated are faithfully and
intelligently carried out, a case
may be treated in any family or
community with perfect safety. If
others have the disease, it will be
because they we're infected from

contracted it elsewhere. The
same precautions should be OBJ
served in dysentery and all other
diarrhea diseases, including sum-

water and milk stored in cans or

should be looked upon as SUSPECT

Uncooked Vegetables should also
be washed in boiled water.
8. The windows and doors of
all dwelling houses, and especially
of the kitchen and dining room,
should always be well screened
and the flies actually kept out.
Unless this is done a carelessly
managed case of typhoid fever or
other diarrheal disease, even a
mile or more away, may be a
source of danger on account OF
flies. AS mosquitoes are now
known to be carriers Of maleria,
the same precautions will protect
from this poison also. The Uni
versal and effectual practice OF
these precautions would require
intelligent care and some expense,
but would result in the practical
disappearance of one Of our most
common and fatal domestic pestil.
ences, which is not only a disgrace
to our civilization, but an annual
scourge and tax upon the people,

otto diseases, so feared by our
people, sink into insignicance.

THE PREVENTION
OF TYPHOID FEVER
City Physician Issues Instructions
How to Avoid Disease.

The board of health of the city
held a meeting yesterday alter
noon, and having received reports
of cases of typhoid fever, the
board instructed the city physician
to have published a few instruc-
tons to the people in general on
how to avoid the disease. Ac-
cordingly DR.. earns and the board
have issued the following bulletin:
To the People of Albuquerque:
The health board of the city of
Albuquerque feels it its duty to
call the earnest attention OF the
people to the prevention of ty-
phoid fever, as a few cases have
been reported.
Typhoid fever is probably the
most preventable of all diseases,
not even excepting small poX. 1t
is now definately known that, like
cholera, and dysentery, the germs
of the disease are contained only
in the discharges from the bowels
and kidneys of those sick of it, and
that it is necessary for a person to
swallow a portion of such dis
charges or things polluted by them,
in order to contract the disease.
The germs usually gain en-
trance to the system through in
fected water from wells or streams
draining inhabited areas, and poll
uted by infected fecal matter, or
such matter may be carried by
flies and deposited on the food,
utensils and hands in u%nscreened
kitchens and dining rooms. The
germs may also be carried on the
hands of careless attendants, or on
soiled clothing, or indirectly, by
using milk from cows and vessels
washed in infected water. Ice
from infected water is also danger
Gus, as it has been proven that
freezing does not kill the germs.
A large volume of water NAV be
infected from one case, and, il
is already polluted with organic
matter, becomes a ready cultute
fluid for the multiplication of the
germs.
Rules for Sick Room.
Convincing facts as to both wa.
ter and flies being carriers Of this
disease might be multiplied indef-
nitely, if space permitted.
Based upon the teachings of the
foregoing facts, the following rules
have been prepared with are for
the guidance OF all persons inter-
ested in their own and the public
health:
1. When it is known or sus-
pected that a person has typhoid
fever, he should be placed in a
large, we'll ventilated room, with
the windows and doors we'll screen
ed, and such preparation should be
made from the first day for the
thorough and systematic disinfec-
ton of all discharges from the
bowels and kidneys as will protect
other members of the family, the

DEADLY PERIL
OF AUTOMOBILING

The list Of men who have lost their
lives In the pursuit of automobile rae
ing Is a long one, quite long enough to
stamp the game as one of extraordinary
hazard. By the merest stroke Of good
fortune the name of Fred Marriott,
whose car was smashed to pieces at
Ormond Beach, Fla, recently, will not
be added to 1t, but he joins the even
larger company Of those who have
faced dire peril in the effort to win
prizes or break records with high pow
cred creations and lived to relate their
sensations.
Yet the mania for speed never dies
out and the number Of would be rec
ord breakers may safely be said to
nearly approximate the number of au-
tomobiles sold At some time or other
the desire to push car to its limit
comes to every man who grasps a
steering wheel.
Legislators have warred against the
automobile scorcher; cities, towns and
villages have passed ordinances pre-
scribing fines and Imprisonment for
those who violate the speed limit; thou
sands and thousands of dollars have
been paid out to placate the munich
palities whose regulations have been
broken, but the scorchers multiply.
Describing the speed mania, Charles
Jarrett, the veteran English driver of
racing cars, says: 81 have seen a gentle
old man almost patriarch in appear
ance, incapable in ordinary life of act
ing inconsiderately to any one, but
who when seated behind the wheel Of
a powerful car seemed to he possessed
by the concentrated energy of thou
sand fiends. and, regardless Of every
body and everything on the road. he
has dashed along. having the sole idea
in his mind Of travelling faster and still
| faster.
"Men not possessing sufficient cour-
age to enable them to climb high lad
der on the side of house seem never
theless to be able to drive a motor car
at great speed without turning a hair
and without feeling that the perform
ance is attended with danger either to
themselves or other users Of the road.
The intoxication of speed seems to lift
them out of themselves and change
them into new creatures"

have been sacrificed In the pursuit OF

NEW YORK, March 7.-Values on

Importance were developed the testi-
mony was Of such a nature as to ex-
cite public opinion and strengthen
public hostility to the speculative
methods of large corporations and
great capitalists. For nearly two
years-or ever since the Equitable
disclosures begun--this sentiment
against "high finance" has been grow
ing at home and abroad While these
disclosures in the long run may prove
beneficial by preventing a repetition
Of such operations and allowing stock
holders to get their just dues-still,
their immediate effect is exceedingly
unsettling. 1t comes just when some
of our large corporations are sorely
in need of new capital and places them
temporarily at least in an unfavorable
light before the public here and
abroad at time when they must ap-
peal for financial support. The polit-
ical effect of such disclosures is also
harmful, furnishing as it does an album
dance of infiammable material which
political demagogues are sure to use
injudiciously at the first opportunity
Moreover, nothing does more to stimu-
late the socialistic propaganda than
evidence of Inscriptions uses Of great
wealth. Another detrimental effect
was the evidence of strong personal
lanimosities in high financial circles
which have already succeeded the era
of peace and good will that existed
when the community of interest ides
was in full swing. We have now had

Railroad Expenditures.
A feature that must not be lost
sight of is the rapid growth of rail-
road expenditures due to increases IN
wages and the high cost of material.
During the month of December "a
railroads reported an Increase IN
gross earnings of $11,O0O,0OO, all Of
which, except 100000. was consumed
4 by increased expenses. AS this com.
parison was made before the recent
advance of wages by Pennsylvania
and other railroads, 1t seems likely
that the increase in net will soon en-.
tirely disappear and give place to de-
creases, although we may continue to
see continued gains in gross. Even
the latter, however, are declining, for
in July 1906, the gain was nearly IA
per cent over last year. in August 70
per cent, in September 8 per cent, in
October 10 per cent, in November 6
per cent and in December per cent:
while in January 1t fell to per cent.
This shows a tendency towards small
er increases in gross and larger de-
creases in net. The result of this ten
dency, IL continued, will probably be
anything but favorable to a continue
ton of the large advances in dividends
which have been made during the last
year or two, apparently more for the
purpose Of facilitating borrowing OPP
erations than with the idea of plac-
ing the stock upon a stable basis OF
valuation. When first class short
