Of arriving at process OF economical
extraction of the wax. He perfected
this process a few months ago and

The manufacture OF this vegetable
wax is already on a paying CONNER

a profit OF 5000 to $500 gold an acre

Although the earliest outbreak OF
typhoid fever attributed to the eat

and. especially since 1880, many 9TH

the sanitary conditions of shellfsh

Nor has there yet been establish
ed a definite relation between any
estimated pollution of water or of
shellfish and the disease producing

the eating of polluted oysters with
outbreaks of typhoid fever cannot,
however. be questioned.
In the United States the most not
able examples of such epidemics
were those at Middletown, Conn, and
at Atlantic City. The Monthly Bull

This commission, according to the
Medical Journal. concluded that
considerable number of cases of en-

the number of such cases was nat

Mrs. Billtops was at that moment
engaged in tearing the parlor apart
and moving everything out into the

what she calls a thorough sweeping

prompted by Mr. Billtops' exclaiming.
when he looked into the room and saw
what she was doing:
You men are so easily upset. I
suppose you like things clean. but
it always upsets you completely to
