face and declared he would end his life
Immediately. She paid no attention to
him, and he drew the blade across his
neck. cutting a five-inch cash in the
left side of his neck. The knife pene-
trated the skin to the depth of quar-
ter of an inch and barred a. large vein.
The wounded man was taken to the
receiving hospital, where his self-in-
ficted wound was sutured. He fought
the attendants and lit was necessary
to hold him on the operating table.

Welt was placed in the city Jail on a
charge of drunkenness.
Mrs. Van Der Welt told Police Sur
geon Garrett, who visited the family,
that her husband wanted the money to
buy liquor and she refused to give it
to him.

REMEDIES TO REMOVE TAN

Harmless Bleaches. Will Whiten Skin That Has

Little work is required TO beautify the
hands after exposure to summer sun, FOR
the constant wearing of gloves alone ac-
complshes much. while the application Of
oil or other grease, with a combination of
a gentle bleach, may make them white

Summary of Conclusions.
Tho conclusions are:
Race.-During the warm season the dis

however. the disease prevails proportion
ately more heavily among the whites
Sex.-Thc disease is somewhat mora

those between the ages Of IL and "a.
Age.-The disease la 1GS again vas

costing that milk and contact arc re-

Endemicity.-The ma jority of cas- cs oc-
cur among persons who have not been
absent from Washington within the thir-
~ days previous to onset of illness, and
moreover. among those who have lived I'm
Washington all their lives, showing that
Washington is a true endemic center.
Milk, Shellfish and Water.
Milk. About 10 per cent of tho cases
in laos, as in 1906 and 1907, were definite
~ attributed to infected milk. In the
1905 outbreak the milk was infected by
bacillus carrier. Our studies for the three
years indicate that If all the market milk
of Washington were pasteurized under
official supervision the amount of typhoid
fever here would be materially reduced.
'ShellfiSh.-It is now evident that oys-
ters and other shellfish do not play much
part
'Prophyla xis.-The results of three
years of study show that there is need
of legal control of typhoid fever patients
and typhoid bacillus carriers.
We are convinced that vigorous
campaign against typhoid fever a
contagious disease and the adoption
of measures that would prevent the
spread of the infection in milk would
eliminate the greater part of typhoid
fever from the District of Columbia
