OPPOSE FREE TRADE.

Truly the world do move" Sena-
tor Raynor, democrat, of Maryland,
made a speech in the United States
Senate in which he declared that he
was in favor Of protection and that
no democrat would vote for free
trade. He wanted protection for the
sake of the working man, but he
was opposed to protecting the trust
He secuted the idea that the great
corporations Of the country benefit
the consumers by utilizing economics
or by increased wages. On the other
hand he said Of the trusts:
"They raise prices, they limit pro-
duction, they lower wages, they
contract the demand for labor, they
monopolize the wealth of the land,
they withdraw it from the channels
Of circulation and where they are
driven from one state they obtain
franchises In another, and then re-
turn with insolence to pursue their
calling In the place from which they
are banished"

THE REAL LEADERS.

II Is the few men of every COM
munity who carry the burdens and do
the hard work for the people at
large and as a rule these are not Of
flee holders, but they are workers
who look after the community in
terests They are always to be de-
pended upon to take up municipal
reforms, head important Industrial
movements, encourage financial bet
terments, lead in matters of higher
education and give encouragement
TO religious endeavor. In short, the
well being of every city and county
depends on the few who, uncon-
sclously as II were, stand for the In
tegrlty OF the municipality, the coun-
ty organization and for the state
Woe be unto that place which lacks
these great minds and workers.
They are required to give protection
to the vital interests OF community
and commonwealth.

HOW TO PREVENT TYPHOID

While some cases OF typhoid will de-
velop In climate like that OF Virginia,
10 spite OF all preventive measures, yet q
large majority OF the cases can be pre-
vented by the observance OF q few simple
precautions; to prevent she disease, the
real causes must be understood. No
person can contract typhoid fever unless
he swallows In some manner some of the
exerement OF person who has or has
had the disease.
This is most often done in water or
milk that has been contaminated with
the germs from typhoid case, but the
excrement may be carried to the food, or
even directly to the mouth on the feet OF
files that have fed uponit. Sometimes the
disease IL contracted by eating raw fruit
or vegetables that have been soiled with
the germs. Those who nurse cases OF IT,
phoid often contract the disease BY
carrying the germs into the mouth on
the fingers, which they have failed TO
wash alter waiting on the patient.
The two danger points IN the country
are the well and the dry closet II these
are safeguarded the danger is rem
dered less formidable. Information re-
gardlng these points Is contained In
the publications of the State Health
Department st Richmond, and will be
sent to any one asking for them free OF
charge.
