the water supply is the chief curse of
danger. Milk is very easily infected.
1t is not only a good culture medium,
but germs that develop in it seem to
increase in virulence; for epidemics
from this source are unusually severe.
Washing the utensils and diluting
the milk with polluted. water or un-
clearly methods of those handling it
may be responsible for an outbreak OF
the disease. Dust from dried excreta
deposited on the surface of the ground
may carry the germs and infect any
thing touched. Vegetables grown on
infected soil or washed with infected
water may act as carriers. The COM
mon house fly. to whom we paid our
respects a short time ago in a special
bulletin, is a very potent factor as. a
disseminatcr of the disease. These are
some of the ordinary sources from
which the disease is p%erpetuated and
spread.
For it's prevention the following
from a recent bulletin by the Mon
lana State Board of Health is right to
tie point:
See that your privy is SO located
that neither the seepage nor the sur
face drainage therefrom can possibly
enter any we'll or other source of
water supply.
See that your yard is clean, SO
that flies may be reduced in numbers.
Let the sun shine into every corner of
the yard, barnyaru, chicken-house,
barn and house. Sunshine is the best
disinfectant we have.
Clean up your yard and let the sun
shine in and quit being dirty.
The time to prevent typhoid fever
is all the time. Germs planted or
your place this year will probably live
until next year. You, or any member
of your family, may furnish the
ground for them to get a fresh star
next year. Therefore see that you
place is not infected.

UTILIZING POWER OF TIDES.
Difficulties In Way of Project Will ALI
Be Overcome.

The difficulties of concentrating It'd.
al power and making it available are
great and so far it has been used only
on a small scale and in a primitive
way, but the near future will probably
see great electric generating plants
established at favorable localities
where the tides run high and there are
natural storage basins. Some months
ago a plan was worked out for utiliz-
ing the ebb and flow of the River
Seine. Assuming that tidal em5ank-
ments were needed for guiding the
channel through the estuary it was
proposed that these be connected to
the shore on either side so as to form
two large reservoirs, each of which
should be divided into a high water
basin and a low water basin,
the discharge from one to the
other to drive turbines. The available
tide is about 10 feet. Each reservoir
would have an area of about $500
acres, and it was estimated that about
6,OOO-horsepower would be given off
during the six hours of the rising tide.
The cost of division dams, turbines
n other works was placed at $780,
600. From this the annual cost of each
horsepower was computed at $500, in
Guiding land rent and interest at 10
per cent, but this would rise to more
than $4,000 if the channel walls were
to form a part Of the expense.

CLUB 1000 A OLD.
Chinese Association Has Lately Been
'Reorganized in England.

The little club that has been estab-
lished in London under the fascinating
title of the "Idlers of the Bamboo
Grove" was started in China more
than a thousand years ago by a cele-
brated poet and mystic. This exceed
ingly old gentleman is still the nom
inal president Of the club, and at the
reunions of the "Idlers'' a chair is
left for him, although the attention
seems unnecessary. The society will
not be a very large one at any time.
At present it consists of a small body
of orientalists and literary men who
are interested in the east. Needless
to say, some members of the Chinese
legation are to be found in the ranks.

Why He Doesn't Drink Milk.

My son, who is a little over two
years of age, has always disliked to
drink milk, says a writer in the New
York World. 1 have repeatedly told
him that to be a strong and healthy
boy, he should always drink milk.
While visiting a neighbor with M n
day he saw a little boy who was a
cripple and could not walk. NAM
ma" said he, why can't. the little
baby walk?" I told him the reason
was because the baby did not drink
milk. Then I said to my little son:
why don't you drink milk?' This
was his reply: Because I can walk"
Since then I have had more trouble
in p%ersuading him to drink milk than
eve before.

Bats La Belfries.

"Bats in belfries are a frightful
nuisance" said a young clergyman.
I'm the belfry of dear old Saint Jude's
they are as thick as flies, and I don't
know how to get rid of them. They
eat the candles, you know, the COM
munion cloths, the vestments, the in
cense, the mattings, and they ever
drink the consecrated wine. Strange
1t is to think of bats doing that, isn't
it? A strange bat diet, truly-candles,
incense, embroidered vestments and
holy wine. I have tried to smoke out
the pests by burning sulphur, but they
appear rather to like those fumes.
For a sure way to rid my belly of its
bats I'd gladly give two dollars"

Monthly Bulletin

The following issued by Sec. Gras-
sick for publication in the newspapers
of the state, calls attention to another
live sanitary problem, the solution of
which depends in a great measure on
the intelligent cooperation of the
public with the medical profession.
TYPHOID FEVER.
This being the time of the year
when typhoid fever is most prevalent
a few words as to it's course. cause,
and prevention may be in order. 1t
is cosmopolitan in it's nature. Wher-
ever man builds a h%abitation and sur
rounds himself with his own excre-
ment, there you will find it. Its germ
is the Eberth's Bacillus which has its
natural habitat in the intestinal tract
where it multiplies in great numbers.
1t is excreted mostly in the urine and
stools. 1t is not communicable by the
air in the same sense as smallpox,
scarlet fever or diphtheria. The germs
must get into the ~alimentary canal be-
fore they find a suitable soil for propa-
cation and growth. Therefore it may
be set down as essentially, a filth dis
ease; for it is practically acquired, in
no other way than by the injection of
some food or drink contaminated by
human excrement containing typhoid
germs. This is SO we'll established that
it may be stated thai if every germ
from every person affected with
typhoid fever was destroyed for a
single year the disease would be ban
ished from the earth, for it is believed
that this germ does not live more than
a year in nature outside of the human
body. This certainly would be ga con-
summation devoutly to be wished

The Simple Life.

A man is simple when his chief care
is the wish to be what he ought to
be; that is, honestly and naturally
human. We may compare existence
to raw material. What it is, matters
less than what is made of it; as the
value of a work of art lies in the
Towering of a workman's skill. True
life is possible in social conditions the
most diverse, and with natural gifts
the most unequal. It is not fortune,
or personal advantage, but u turn
ing them to account, that constitutes
the value Of life. Fame adds no more
than does length Of days; quality is
the thing.-Charles Wagner.

of $4,000. The purchasers deserve
the thanks of the residents of the city

eral years an eye-sore to the city into
a building that will set off in a splen-
did manner the beautiful new govern
ment and other buildings in the neigh
