Approved by Eminent Physicians.

Any one can see that the way TO fight
this disease is not by improving the
water or food supplies: they are, as a
rule all right. We must do something
else. and the measure is now at hand in
anti-typhoid vaccination. 1t has been
tried on an extensive scale and has proved
satisfactory. The whole question has
been considered officially by six of the
most illustrious gentlemen of the med
ical profession in the United States, and
they are quite agreed in believing that
the method of anti-typhoid vaccination is
useful, that it is harmless and that 1t Of
fers a means of diminishing the amount
of typhoid fever in the army, especially
in time of war. They have recommended
that the practice be introduced at once,
so that the machinery may be available
and capable of expansion should the ma
ton ever again have need of armies.

shows how the grafters high and low are
the victims of vicious circle of hold

The perils of the use, or, rather, the
abuse, of drugs 10y women to alleviate

tions last week, says the London
Queen. In one case the dangerous drug
was taken to induce sleep the patient
suffering from that dreadful disorder.

without the advice, and in the second
against the advice, of medical man.
And this is the lesson to be learned
from these and all similar cases of
self-deStruction by self-administered
toxic drugs. 1t is not necessarily that
these powerful drugs are dangerous to
life, but that they are assuredly so
when not used by the advice of quail
fed medical men. The self-adminis-
tration of medicines. drugs, specifics and
cures is at all times to be strongly
deprecated. but when it is the case of
taking laudanuni, cocaine, atropine and
the like without a doctors orders. ii
is well-nigh criminal. Deaths so caus-

Receiver Whitridge of the Third avenue
surface trolley line in New York has
adopted novel method for combating the
evil of unpaid fares and knocked down
fares. On large cards he has posted in
all cars signs headed. Thou Shalt Not
Steal" under which appears the legends
"Every passenger who does not pay his
fare steals, and Every conductor who
does not turn in fares steals" On an
other card the passengers are asked to
help keep the cars clean by not splitting
or throwing rubbish ON the floor and are
invited TO complain of everything wrong.
Speaking of this new policy, Whitridge
says he has estimated that g per cent
of the fares due are not paid by the pub
lie or turned in by the conductors. Ia
says this is due in part to the general
belief that the road was built up on
fraud. He proposes to try to give better
service henceforth, so as to dissipate that
belief and deserve better treatment.

POWERS AND HOWARD FREED
Two Accused of Completely in Goebel
Murder Pardoned by Governor.

Caleb Powers and Jim Howard, who
were convicted of completely in the as
sassination of Senator William Goebel,
have been pardoned by Governor Will
son of Kentucky. Powers was tried
four times, the last trial resulting in a
disagreement. Howard is alleged to be
the man who fired the shot that killed
Goebel. He was under life sentence.
By announcing the pardon of Power
and Howard, Governor Wilson closet
the last chapter in one of the most
noted criminal cases in the history
the State, and in which the people in
all sections of the United States have
formally expressed their interest by
signing petitions for a pardon.
In the closing days of January, eight
years ago, while the contest of William
Goebel for the gubernatorial seat occu-
pied by William s. Taylor, was being
heard, Goebel was shot, dying later
from his wounds The shot was be-
lieved to have come from a half open
window of the Secretary of States of
flee, and as Powers was then filling
that position. suspicion was at once di-
rected toward him and his arrest fol-
lowed
-Four times has Powers been put on
trial for his life on the charge of COM
plicity in the murder, the first three
trials resulting in conviction. and SEN
tence of death being the penalty in
two trials. On the fourth trial. which
came after the case had been carried
to the United States court. the jury
disagreed. Thereupon efforts for par
don for Powers, as well as for How
ard, who had been convicted some
years ago on charge of completely,
were renewed.
In brief, the reasons assigned by the
governor for granting the pardons are
that the political strife and turmoil ex-
listing in the State since the assassina-
ton of Goebel may cease; that he is
firmly convinced both Powers and How
ard are innocent of the crime charged
against them and that their further
prosecution and Imprisonment would
be great wrong to the peace and we'll
being of the commonwealth.
