Precautions Against Typhoid
Means Of Conserving Humans

All water and milk taken into the
system should first be boiled.
All food should be kept where flies
cannot crawl over 1t.
No raw vegetables or oysters should
be eaten.
Typhoid patients should be pro-
tected by screens or nets. to pre-
vent flies carrying disease germs
from them to others.
Care should be exercised to make
certain that no dishes, bed clothing,
books, or other articles used by a
typhoid patient are used by another
without being thoroughly disinfected
and sterilized.
II these simple precautions were
observed there would be little likeli-
hood that typhoid would ever become
epidemic. II would be speedily stamp
ed out.-The Washington Times.

To the President of the United States:
Sir-I beg leave at this time to
ofiicially tender my resignation as
postmaster at this place, and in due
form to deliver the great seal and the
key to the front door OF the office.

numbers 80, sc and 90, though l do

the duties OF my Office the department
was not yet on paying basis. 1t
was not even self-sustaining. Since
that time, with the active cooperation
of the chief executive and the heads
OF the department, I have been able
to make our postal system a paying
one. and on top Of that am now able
to reduce the tariff on average-sized
letters from 3 cents to 2. l might
add that this Is rather too too-but
will not say anything that might

OF history.
