aIity between the rival political factions
that Queen Victoria as well as King Ed
ward, while refraining from discussion
of public affairs with the leaders OF the
Opposition, always made point OF In
viting them not merely to all state func-
tions but also to entertainments OF
more private character. such as, Tor IN
stance. to dinners and weekend parties
at windsor, Osborne, Sandringharn and
Ra1moral. Yet during all that long
period of fifty years or more Queen VIC
toria only once shook hands with the
famous statesman. who during the latter
portion OF his life was known as the
Grand Old Man." and In the Life OF
Gladstone" published by Lord Morley,
who had access to all the papers and
correspondence of his iilustrious friend
and colleague, there Is a brief ana
pathetic little note OF the latter, men
tioning the fact that the first and only
time that Queen Victoria had shaken
hands with him was In the last year or
his life, a few months before his death,
after he had finally retired from politics
and was making a vain attempt TO re-
cover health and strength in the South
of France, where his aged sovereign was
then staying with the same object in
view.
II would be mistake to construe this
incident related by the great Liberal
statesman as q manifestation by her
late majesty of the unfriendly feelings
which she is generally believed to have
entertained toward this Oldest and most
tried Of her public servants. If she re-
trained from shaking hands with him 1t
was because the members Of the reign
ing houses of the Old World. and IN par
ticular those who WELD the sceptre, are
extremely chary about offering their
hands in greeting.
Why so many Americans admitted to
or imperial hand extended to them Is be-
cause the monarchs in question are con-
vinced that the handshake is the GUS
| tomary form of salutation in the United
States, and they wish to manifest par
ticular graciousness to the sons and

more reserved in according their hand

they do the multitude OF diseases that re-
suit from this journeying into the country
VIII be largely done away with.
The people who go habitually into the
South, into the tropics, into the rural dis
tricts for business, should soon resort to
vaccination, and probably will. There is
the great rural population, which is habitu-
ally the source of infection. and arousing
it to the needs of the new treatment is the
greatest OF tasks.
Typhoid is a contagious disease and
transmits itself from one person TO an
other. This, however, must be through
actual contact, usually through a person
whose hands have come in contact with
the germs handling the food of other
persons. When there is in the family or
the neighborhood a person suffering from
typhoid. the germs that the body of that
person gives off may enter the water sup
ply, the milk of the neighborhood, the food
Of the family. The hands that nurse the
patient for instance, may wash the dishes.
In this way the disease is transmitted.
In most contagious diseases a similar
principle exists. The rational system in
typhoid, as In the others. is isolation of
the patient. This scheme works and makes
determination possible IN most diseases.
but is hardly effective in the case of ty-
phOid- The difficulty here lies in the fact
that the patient recovering from an attack
may or may not become entirely free from
the disease.
Three persons in a hundred who have
had typhoid do not throw it entirely out Of
the system. They apparently recover. but
the germs remain in their systems. and
their associates are constantly menaced

by officers and soldiers alike, and the
adulation which they receive, not only
from the masses. but also from the
classes, it becomes only natural that
they should end by possessing the most
exaggerated notions concerning them

In an additional similar span the rest of
the army VIII have been made immune and
the greatest of the stumbling blocks re-
moved.
The battle that the British were waging
against disease in India in the COS led from
inoculations for the prevention of cholera
to the application of the same principles to
typhoid. Sir Almorth f. Wright, of the
British forces, made d vaccine and tried it
on TWO men. He was carried away with
the results The men became immune.
The English and the Germans began the
long march toward developing the right
serum and its right application to the in
dividuaL The most satisfactory check on
results was obtained by Colonel Leishman,
of the British army. Leishman vaccinated
5,473 men Of the British army. These men
all belonged to sixteen regiments which
had been selected for a carefully controlled
investigation on a large scale. As each of
these regiments was in turn ordered to ser
vice IN India, a medical officer, who had
been especially trained for this particular
duty, was attached. He lectured TO the
troops on the prevention of the disease
and called for volunteers and immunized
them. As this medical officer is always
present with the regiment in all its jour
neys, he Il able TO keep careful records Of
all men immunized and to care for and to

From his knowledge of typhoid fever and
clinical laboratory methods he is enabled
to make an accurate diagnosis in all sus-
picious cases.
BY means OF these precautions Colonel
Leishman is able to furnish statistics which
are thoroughly accurate and reliable. The
results were as follows: Inoculated, 5 473;
cases OF typhoid fever. n; deaths, 2, or, per
1880 inoculated cases, 036. Non-inocuated,
$50; cases Of typhoid fever. ls7; deaths 25,

Among I2,0S2 men there were SAB inocu-

former there were q cases of typhoid, with
, deaths. and among the latter IS7 cases
and 26 deaths Among the exposed regi-
mtEts which had been inoculated with the
vaccine IL use at present there were 81
cases per 1900, against 1878 per 1000 among

NEWPORT PROHIS WIN
Three Mile Petition Against Sale
 of Liquor Granted by Court

The district within three miles of the Newport public school building on Walnut Street became dry territory at 3 o'clock We'd nesday afternoon, when Judge Il. $. Simmons entered an order in accordance with the prayer of the petitioners.
 The number of names of adult petitioners upon the instruments filed was 1907, which under the census of the district embraced, showing 2848 people entitled to be heard, gave the petitioners a majority of 366 over those not signing who number 1241.
 Under this act of the court, Newport becomes dry territory by petition for at least two years. un- less an appeal be taken to the higher court and the act reversed. Under the provisions or the three mile law, advertising and soliciting of liquor orders are put under the ban and intoxicating liquors can neither be sold nor given away. which will make the lot of the bootlegger even more hazardous than in the past and his conviction easier.-Newport Independent.

ONLY A HOG AFTER ALL

My son, consider the hog. He tolls not, neither does he spin, but he is worth close on II cents a pound on the hoof, and he Is get ting so exclusive that only the very best cirles are able to enter tain him. He waxes fat at his leis- ure, knows no labor, and travels to market in special car. Just at first thought the hog seems to be considerable of a parsonage, but still is only hog, and he really isn't worthy of emulation. There are a good many persons who adopt his ways, however, and fat ten on what other people have gathered together. Their ambition runs more to gross weight than quality, and like the hog they are despised. A hog isn't worth a thing until he IS placed on the mar ket. He serves no useful purpose while he lives. and it is only as he gathers fat that he adds value. He is the symbol of greed and bad manners, has bad diposition and is a social outcast-but he is selling at nearly II cents a pound and that is why he Is sometimes emu lated .-Ex.
