family having had five cases, it was
easily seen from the history, that care.
lessness in disinfection or the flies, had
been the cause of the spread of the
trouble.
From the fact that few cases had
existed at any one time, was able to
throw out the possibility of an infected
water or milk supply, or the more COM
mon causes of the transmission of the
disease; and since it appeared at times
at interI ais Of as long as ninety days,
il would seem that the existence of a
typhoid carrier in that section was
more than probable. Two cases had
been contracted elsewhere and brought
there for treatment.
The local men told me that after ex.
tended observation they had been I'M
able to account for the recurrence Of
the fever from time to time, One was
apprehensive of an infected water in
the district mentioned, Samples OF
water from this section are now in the
hands of the Bacteriologist for ex-
animation. Very respectfully,

Guarding Bank OF Erancc.

Like the Bank of England, the
Bank of France is now guarded every
night by soldiers. But within quite
recent time the officials at the French
bank resorted to very novel method
OF protecting their bullion.
This consisted in engaging masons
TO wall up the doors of the vaults
in the cellar with hydraulic mortar
as soon as the money was deposited
each day in these receptacles. The
water was then turned on and kept
running until the whole cellar was
flooded. A burglar would be obliged
to work in diving suit and break
down cement wall before he could
even begin to plumber the vaults.
When the bank official arrived
next morning the water was drawn
off, the masonry torn down and the
vaults opened.-Strand Magazine.

The only way for me to do a good

to make her so angry that she will
cry, fuss. break a few dishes, smash

go to her room and stay there. BY

pist For sleeplessness.

Or. William Stevens says that in
somnia is not a disease itself, but
the effect Of an unhealthy condition
ot-body or mind. When the cause Is
removed the insomnia may be ex-
pected to disappear.
Every physician has had stubborn
cases Of it which would not yield
to any treatment and for which a
change of air or of scene became
necessary. But such cases as these
should not occur, and do occur only
when the sufferer has neglected pre-
cautions that should have been taken
when the trouble first made itself
manifest.
insomnia results from causes which
can be removed if attended to in
season. The most common cause is
found in the digestive organs. Either
unsuitable food, causing insomnia as
q feature of indigestion, or INSULT
Client food, causing the patient to be
kept awake by hunger.
There are few things which can
be universally recommended as diet
for sleeplessness; since what will
agree with one man will disagree
with another. But two things that
may almost always be recommended
are lettuce and celery.

r. G. Dun G Co.'S Weekly Review
OF Trade says:
Encouraging reports predominant,
and for the first time in six months
the indications of improvement are
well distributed throughout all de-
partments. Gains are snail in many
cases, and unfavorabe weather has
retarded retail trade at some points,
while comparisons with last year
still shows decreases, but as com
pared with preceding months salts
factory exhibits are found every
where. In all the leading manufac-
turing industries orders increased and
output enlarged.
Lower prices for pig iron brought
out large tonnage of new business,
and furnace operators did not find
1t necessary to make further conces-
sions, although several prominent
consumers are waiting for still bet
ter terms. Buying was most lib
eral in foundry iron, and several con-
tracts covered deliveries far into the
future. Many duplicate orders are
reported for wooden goods, a much
healthier situation existing than foi
many weeks, although some lines
are more active than others. Both
fancy and staple worsteds sell freely,
some mills running overtime on re-
sist fabrics, but clothiers discrim-
mate against wool goods, except the
finer grades.

Is germ disease and that the germ
has been discovered; that. while in
the experimental stage, sufficient tests
have been made to show that paresis
is durable, and that he has specific
cases to point to as definite results.
DR.. O'Brien does not believe it
would be proper to make public the
names of the patients whom he as
serts the treatment has cured but
he gives the specific cases as a news
paper man of Washington, d. c., who
was treated for paresis and is again

do not hesitate to say that in my
judgment large percentage of dis
ease is caused by poorly selected and
improperly prepared food My per-
sonal experience with the fully-cooked
food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables
me to speak freely OF its merits.
From overwork I suffered several
years with malnutrition, paipitation
of the heart and loss of sleep. Last
summer 1 was led to experiment per-
sonally with the new food, which
used in conjunction with good rich
cows milk. In a short time after !
commenced its use the disagreeable
symptoms disappeared, my hearts &C
ton became steady and normal, the
functions OF the stomach were prop
erly carried out, and / again slept as
soundly and as we'll as in my youth.
Il look upon Grape-Nuts as a per-
feet food, and no one can gainsay but
that 1t has most prominent place in
a rational, scientific system Of feed
ing. Any one wSo uses this food will
