Washington, ID. c., Jan. 20-'There
is more typhoid fever in this country
than in any other civilized land,' said
DIR. H. j. Rosenau of the Harvard
medical school, Boston, Mass, in an
address delivered in this city today
before the third annual meeting of the
Association of Life Insurance Presi-
dents. THE annual total is $4,000
deaths and over $4,000 cases. This
is a national disgrace and is due en-
tirely to lack of education on the sub
ject. We probably know more about
typhoid and its methods of spread
and the means for its control than
we do of any other disease. Yet right
in our capital city there is an exces-
sive amount of typhoid and this sad
story finds repetition in all our large
cities If the public were taught to
fear typhoid as it does case of
cholera there would soon be an end
of it.
"In advocating a public health mill
tia in the cause of preventive medi-
cine, | do not mean a marching col
umn of men in uniforms armed with
microscopes and disinfectants. The
public health militia that have in
mind calls for the enrolment of all
good citizens. Preventive medicine is
the watchword of the hour and enlist
ment in the cause can come only
Through education.
| There are two important factors
in public health work One is the
gaining of new knowledge through
scientific research, the other is the
diffusion of this knowledge through
education. With phophetic foresight
and characteristic energy, Harvard
university has established a chair of
preventive medicine as an integral
part of it's educational system. Not
only the medical profession, but the

The scientific and professional corps

when the people understand that
typhoid fever is as preventable as are
railroad accidents we shall have a
casus belli, and the courage needed
for a victorious campaign The gov
ernment now protects us from cholera
leprosy, yellow fever and other exotic
plaques; why should it not also guard
us against the dangers that are pres

such as tuberculosis, pneumonia,

are infections which reap the highest
toll of death among us and are foe

when this matter is better under
stood. the state will be required to
protect its citizens against such pre-
ventable diseases and the officials ap-
pointed to safeguard us will be held
responsible just as the law now holds
employers liable for preventable ac-
cidents. Organizations like life in
surance companies with their legions
of doctors, armies of agents and hosts
of patrons could lend an effective and
useful hand in this worthy warfare

OUR FIRST CENSUS.

In 1890, when the first census
was taken, the people of this coun-
try numbered less than 100000;
at the taking of the sixth census,
in 1910, the population had grown
to more than 100000. Our
frontier by 1910 had been pushed
across the Mississippi Valley to the
western borders of Arkansas and
Missouri and well into Iowa and Wis
consin Ten million people dwelt
on the Atlantic slope, 100000 in
the Mississippi Valley and 100000
on the Gulf slope. New York had
surpassed Philadelphia and was our
greatest city. 1t had more than
100000 inhabitants. 1t was the
great center on this continent OF

to the bureau of statistics, there are
in all forty-eight companies, namely,
thirteen strike-indemnity insurance
companies, twenty-six employers as
sociations for strike insurance and
nine in which indemnity is from oc-
casion to occasion granted.
The conditions under which a
strike indemnity are paid is different
in the several companies. Assist
ance is granted in case of strikes and
generally in lockouts. But this is
subject to fixed conditions, the most
important of which is that the stop
page of work has not been produced
by the fault of the employer himself.
The obligations of the companies
or associations to the members begin
after a fixed interval, in most cases
three months, but many vary up to
the year. The regulations are also
different as to whether after the
lapse of this period relief shall be
granted from the first day of the
breaking out of the strike or only
after a later juncture or period.
Some of the companies make the
granting of the indemnity upon furth-
er conditions, for instance, the num-
Der of the strikes.
The whole institution, however, is
still in its infancy. The number OF
its adherents, nevertheless, increases
from year to year, showing its econ
omical usefulness The fact that it
strengthens the position of the en-
ployer against the attacks of labor
is evidenced by the diminished mum.

consequences.

The base ball season is again at
hand. The essential apparatus of
base ball is simple and inexpensive.
All that is required is a field, stick,
the ball itself and police protection
for umpire. One advantage of the
game as played professionally is that
those sitting in the grand stand can
play the game a great deal better
than the eighteen men on the dia-
mond II is also true that any one
of the spectators, even though perch
ed on telephone pole across the
street or looking through knothole
in the fence beyond right field, can
judge of the pitchers skill or the
runners fleetness much more intelli-
gently than the arbiter who stands
behind the battery. The great merit
of the game is that the people can
participate in it. 1t is not like bridge
whist. Its science is not synonymous
with silence. The thing to do is to
take off your coat and root as long
and as loudly as you can, even If you
don't know what is happening

THE SPINAL COLUMN.

The spinal column, or backbone,
is the most ingenious engineering
structure ever constructed. 1t con-
tains within its center the spinal
canal, injury to which would pro-
duce in us immediate paralysis or
death. The separate bones of the
spinal column are fitted and adjusted
so nicely that there is no danger to
this, and, besides being provided with
cushions, it is elastic and strong.

mally developed children, sharpened

the others, the beginning of the

would become less the awful task

AFRAID OF THE COMET.

The fear of an impending collision
between the earth and Halley's comet
gave rise to extraordinary happen
ings last week at Macy st. Miklos,
a village in Hungary. The word
had gone round that the day of iudg-
ment was at hand, and when a night
watchman in the early hours of the
morning perceived a red glow in the
sky-caused by a fire in a neighbor-
ing village-he gave a blast on his
horn and cried the terrifying mes
sage that the inhabitants must pre-
pare for the worst.
Men, women and children tumbled
out of bed into the open, and Father
Kristoffsky, the old village pastor.
after scanning the armament, also
came to the conclusion that the
world was coming to an end. He
comforted his flock and exhorted
all to wait their fate with resigna-
ton. 1t was, he said, only a matter
of a few hours now.
The people were somewhat paci-
fed and with one accord decided that
they might as well finish off what
food and drink they possessed. Ac-
cordingly great fires were lit on the
square fronting the church and a
/ feasting began. A few lamented,
others prayed, but the vast major
| ity were intent on having a good
time while it lasted
| AS the dread moment approach
ed the revelry became an orgy; all
| prudence was thrown to the winds;
| the fiery wine of the country did
! the rest and soon there was not q
sober head among them. They sang
and danced till they dropped and
slept where they lay.
The sleepers awoke in bright sun
shine and finding the old world still
rolling on as usual they unanimous
| ly cursed the comet for not doing its
duty, especially when they realized
that their larders and cellars were
empty.

shown Methods and Taught
Principles of Orchard Man.
nRement

The residents of this county are
about to be shown the most approv-
ed methods of horticultural manage
ment and suppression of insect pests
and fungous diseases that damage
and destroy fruits and trees. The
localities where demonstrations will
be given and dates of these meetings
will be found below, on which oc-
casion at least two experts from the
Division of Zoology of the Depart
ment of Agriculture will be present
to give practical instruction. Prof.
Surface, State Zoologist, expects to
be present at one or more of the
meetings held in this county.
A section of the orchard in which
these public meetings will be held
will be conducted as permanent
Model Orchard and at the first meet
ing trees will be pruned, sprayed,
and perhaps planted, insect pests and
fungous diseases identified, different
types of apparatus shown, and lect-
ures delivered and questions ans
wered. Everybody interested in
fruit culture and in saving the trees
from injury, whether by insects or
diseases, should attend the meeting
nearest his home; and. also, take
with him specimens of pests for iden-
tification. 1t is understood that any
questions asked as to such pests and
on orchard management will be
cheerfully answered.
The places where meetings are
scheduled in this county next week
will be on the afternoon of the dates
given herewith. Should the weather
prove unfavorable they will be post
poned to the following day:

ERIE's SUCCESSFUL WINTER
WORK

Under the unremitting efforts of
President Underwood and Vice
President Stuart of the Erie railroad,
that road is being brought up to
standard of operating efficiency
hardly thought possible for the
property some few years ago. Dur
ing the snow storms of the past win
ter the Western press was unani-
nous in commencing the Erie man
agement for its ability to keep traf-
fic moving when most other roads
were severely crippled.
One of the severest tests which
the efficiency of its operating force
was called upon to meet was during
the recent high water throughout
New York and Pennsylvania, in
March. At the classification yards
at Meadville. Pa, the tracks for a
mile and a half were under two
feet of water, yet traffic was handled
without any appreciable delay or
disturbance.
In photographs taken at the time,
the engines are seen running through
water which nearly reached up to
the fire boxes, engineers were TAX
en- out to their engines in boats,
men were wading in water consid-
erably over their knees, switch locks
were submerged and floating buoys
were used to designate their loca-
ton. In the face of these conditions
the company handled over 1000
cars in and out of the yard daily for
the four days during which these
conditions existed. and most of the
traffic was handled on schedule time.
