determine the exact percentage of in
crease which the enrolment of the
present year will show over the total
enrolment of last year. There are
now a few more than 800 students on
the college campus. Adding this
number to the summer school enroll
ment of last summer. and the short
course enrolment makes. as stated
above. a few more than 1900, as
against 1896 for all of last year.
There is yet to be added to the en-
rollment of several short course schools
which have not yet opened. and the
enrolment which will come at the be-
ginning of the second semester On
this basis of computation, which is
much in the nature of a guess, it is
likely that the years enrolment will
show an increase of at least fifteen
pre- cent, and that the increase will
extend to the collegiate enrolment of
the school in this percentage.

No Typhoid Originated in Pullman

During the past summer the impress
sion was scattered quite widely in
Pullman that an epidemic Of typhoid
fever existed here, due to food, air
and water, or some other not we'll
understood source. 1t is true that at
one time there were several cases OF
typhoid in town but an examination
of the records show the rather surpris-
ing fact that there was but an exceed
ingly smallpercentage of the cases that
were of local origin.
During the six months that the Pull
man Hospital has been under the
present management. eight cases of
typhoid have been treated each time
successfully. Only one of these cases
developed locally. One came from
Walla Walla. two from Spokane. one
from the Snake River region, one from
Fallons one came from the country
eight miles from town one developed
in a way that left the origin in dispute
but it was probaly local.
During the past six months there
have been thirty-four operations at
the hospital. Three obstetrical cases
were cared for, twenty-five medical,
eight accident, two tbuercuIar. and
the eight typhoids mentioned. Ninety
five per cent of the accidents originated
in the harvest field. Of the operations,
four were for appendicitis, and the
others were miscellaneous in charac-
ter, not suggesting any tendencies
toward any certain class of operations.

the hospital for the year preceding the

IN SW|NDLE CHARGES
Quartet from Camas Prairie Alleged to

A quartet of Idaho stockmen have

their individual notes in payment, and
that now they have been attempting to

creditors in the lurch.
NC. Gray, of Pullman, and A. P.
I. Miller, of Oakesdale, are among the
creditors, and Wednesday they at

was being shipped out of the country.
i. W.R. Clemens, a stockman of Mos
i COW, is alleged to have been the ego

buyers and sellers. and is charged by
Gray and Miller with having given
false idea of the ability of the Camas

tons.
NC. Gray sold to the quartet,
through Clemens, Shire stallion and

The Women's clubs of Pullman
have taken up the work for pure food,
as outlined by the federated clubs of
the state, and at their request we
publish below exracts from a recent
article on pure food work in Washing
ton, the article to be followed by
others dealing with the pure food ques-
tion.
Many subjects for the betterment of
conditions were discussed by the Wom-
ems Federatd clubs at the recent con-
vention at Belllngham, but no sbuject
elected greater interest or provoked
more discussion than the subject of
pure food.
Every woman. whether a club
member or not is interested in this
subject, which comes within her sphere
whatever may be her walk in life. 1t
means or should mean more to the
homemakers than to women whose
work may deny them the pleasure of a
home. But to everyone, man, woman,
and child, it should make an appeal.
The federal and state pure food laws
have been enacted for the protection
of the people. To arouse a greater in
terest in a subject which so affects
the welfare of our homes and COM
munities, the General Federation and
all State FederatOns Of Woman 8
clubs have created "the pure food
committee. "
In the general effort toward the
betterment of conditions, which
characterizes the movements of our
times, nothing is more important or
more deserving of careful study than
the procuring of pure, clean food. The
women. mothers, homemakers, and
buyers of food realize the Importance
of this element in the physical, mental
and spiritual development of those
whose welfare is her sacred charge.
1t is the woman who will create public
sentiment and public standards which
will require makers and sellers of food
to comply with the laws. 1t is the
women who will first see the necessity
of further regulations to enable them
to procure pure, clean food.
Because of this universal interest in
pure food the national committee has
asked all the women's clubs in the
United States to concentrate their
efforts upon three important phases of
pure food, to-wit:
First-The study of pure food laws
and their enforcement.
Second-The improvement of the
milk supply.
Third-The improvement of the san
itary conditions in provision stores.
The study of the pure food law and
local conditions is necessary founda-
tion for this work. The general fed
Grafton represents membership of
more than 800, 600 women. When we
realize what a splendid. intelligent
force this is, it is not matter of
wonder that all over the United States
in the last two years new pure food
laws have enacted in may states and
in others old laws have been revised
