The prevalence Of typhoid fever Is
due to the fact that very few per-
sons will take the trouble to guard
against II.
Filtration does not necessarily el-
inmate the germs from the water,
although good filter kept in good
condition doubtless greatly reduces
the danger Of infection. Boiling
drinking water is the safest proven
tive measure where there is doubt as
to the purity of the supply. Only n
small percentage of persons expos
Ell to the possibility of infection. will
go to that trouble. Many thousands
of cases of fever, many deaths, a
great deal of expense in bills for
medical attendance, nursing and
drugs and in detention from business
o great deal OF suffering to patients
and wearing of anxiety to other
members Of the family constitute
the penalty Of negligence.
The light rains. following the long
drouth, make the small streams tri-
butary to rivers excellent vehicles
for typhoid germs from rural dis
tricts. Now is the time to take
precautions against them.

Boil Your Drinking Water,

people Of Louisville should not
drink water that has not been filter
ed and boiled. Boiling is the safest
plan in the way Of destroying germs,
Louisville is more susceptible TO
typhoid fever than any other city
In this country, SO medical authors
ties assert, and for that reason her
citizens should take that much more
precaution in preventing the spread
OF the ddisease. II sounds strange,
but 1t is true that typhoid fever has
killed more people in Louisville than
has yellow fever in New Orleans. -
DR.. Mathews, president Of the State
Board OF Health.
An axiom of the medical world
is that persons refuse to take pre-
cautions against diseases with which
they are familiar.
Were yellow fever TO be discover
ed in Louisville during the mos
quito season everyone would resort
h heroic efforts to dodge the bite
Of the stegomyia fasciata, But ~.
phoid fever, always present in the
city, arouses very few persons tc
the necessity for taking precau
tionary measures.
There was a time when It was sup
posed that a case of typhoid fevel
was OF actual benefit II 1t did no
prove fatal. Comparisons betwee
the individual after complete recov
cry and the state Of health immed
lately preceding the outbreak o
fever probably lead to the orroneou
conclusion that the fever rids tn
system Of poison. As a matter o
fact the poison causes the fever an
the system rids itself OF the specific
poison at an enormous expense d
vitality and at considerable expens
in dollars and cents. and the patien
feels better when he is convalescen
than he feels when the disease is tah
ing hold upon him. There was
time when 1t was believed tina
typhoid fever was unavoidable.
Is now known that 1t is create
by specific germ that enters tn
sy stem, as a rule, through the moutl
and in the majority of cases in drinl
water or milk, or in uncooked veg
etables that have been washed in in
pure water the chief risk is avoided

Elkins, w. Va, Nov. T.-When
stephen B. Elkins rounds out the
18th year OF his senatorial term in
1913 he will not be a candidate a.
gain to succeed himself. Senator
Elkins himself is authority for this
statement, which Is taken to mean
that he will drop the reins Of
Republican leadership in this State
which he has held for the last 20
years. His retirement opens up
vast political possibilities both tor
his own party and for the Demo-
Gratis.
During his undlsputed sway he
has so strongly entrenched his party
in power that since 1894 the Dem
ocrats have seemed powerless to
dislodge 1t. Since 1904, however,
there have been two distinct fac
tons Of the party, with feeling SO
bitter between them that It requir-
ed all his suavity, tact and politi-
cal generalship to marshal them
Into line at election time.
II is obvious TO the student Of
West Virginia politics that when
Senator Ellxins steps out It will
be difficult to hold these conflicting
elements together, and in the In
ternecine conflict the Democrats see
prospects for a change in the poliu-
cal complexion OF West Virginia.
Announcement at this time Of the
retirement from active political lead.

KEhNEDY'S LOANS MAY
STICK SALT LAKE BANKS

1t is probable that some OF the Salt
Lake banks will fail to realize the full
value of their loans to David Kennedy.
The security given for the loans was stock
in the Kennedys Favorite Remedy corpor-
alton organized to manufacture patent
medicines David Kennedy has main
tanned offices for some time in this city as
manager of the Lincoln mine, near Pearl,
Ida. He and his brother, who were the
founders OF the kennedy's Patent Medi-
cine corporation, had faith in the prop
erty. and invested large sums in devel-
Oping the mine. These sums were largely
borrowed from local banks, the medicine
stock being given as security. In April
of 1903 the Lincoln mine went into the
hands of a receiver, Thomas Weir and J.
w. Edmunds acting in that capacity. The
medicine stock is understood to have de-
clined sharply in value, and it is feared by
some of the banks involved that they will
not be able to secure enough from the
sale of the stock to cover their loans
Kennedy's attorneys, Edwards. Smith &
Price, state that so far as they are able
to learn, Kennedy perpetrated no fraud
upon the banks and made no false repre-
sensations. Kennedy visited Salt Lake as
late as October of this year. He is now
understood to be in Kingston, N Y 1t is
stated unofficially that the sums Sar-
rowed by Kennedy will aggregate 100000

SAYS DININNY
Martin Insists Vail Should Be
Made to Explain Fate OF
Firemen'S Fund.

1T is entirely matter for the firemen
themselves to SETTLE said III. j. Dininny'

and police committee took up the ques-
ton of the assets of the firemen's relief
funds sour office will help the men col
lect from Vail or to bring him back, but
we cannot saddle the city with the ex-
pense."
The committee acting on this opinion
will recommend that the communication OF
Chief Glore on the subject be filed and
that he be notified what the city attorney
said on the matter
Councilman l.. D. Martin, chairman of
the committee, wanted to see action taken
to bring former Chief Vail back TO Salt
Lake. I'm view of the statements Mrs.
Vail has made about prominent Ameri-
cans getting part of the money" said he,
"the man should be brought back here
and made to tell what he did with the
money. If anyone got any part of II we
ought to know it,
Councilman John HoIley thought action
should be taken. but the majority of the
| members agreed with the city attorney
According to the letter of Chief Glore
there should be 3,S73.80 in the fund, but
he says that no part of it came into his
hands.
After Charles T. Vail was dismissed
from the head of the fire department by
men, it is said, nearly all of them signed
letter stating that the fund remain with
Vail at their request. This seems to be
the stumbling block in the way of any
| prosecution of the former fire chief.
The committee discussed a complaint
| from Chief Glore that the fire fighting
! force was weakened by the detail of two
men at each of the five larger theatres.
| This takes ten men off duty for a good
many hours during the week. At the
Orpheum theatre two men are on duty

cover theftime of these men.
