clared that in his dying moments the
count refused to be reconciled to his
wife, and that the latter had been
denied entrance to the death room.

Typhoid,

The very great decrease in typhoid
fever In Philadelphia since the estab-
lshment of the filtration system is in
harmony with general experience. Ac-
cording to a recent bulletin of the
Vermont state board of health, the ef-
feet of change in the water supply in
seven American cities has been to re-
duce the combined annual average
death rate from typhoid fever by some
70 per, cent. But it must not be for
gotten that while polluted water is a
main cause Of epidemics of typhoid, it
is not the only carrier. The same au-
thority believes that about 80 per
cent OF all cases are borne by water
or by milk. In the other 20 per cent.
the disease may be spread by the
agency Of flies, personal contact. she'll
fish raised in polluted waters. or fruit
or vegetables raised in polluted soil
These various agencies will explain
why filtration of the water alone does
not entirely eradicate typhoid, while
at the same time it is evident that
this is the first and most important
step in the suppression Of the disease.

Perhaps the best evidence of the extent to
which modern sculpture is being relied upon to
commemorate the deeds and the heroes of the
greatest of civil wars is afforded by tour OF
the Gettysburg National park. Here, lining more
than 100 miles OF carefully prepared roadway and
marking every significant point in the three days

memorial shafts and tablets and more than 900

granite and bronze are elaborate and costly and
the aggregate cost amounts to several million
dollars And yet on this battlefield 40 elsewhere
the labor Of love is only partially completed Nh
merous other monuments are definitely projected
and yet others are in contemplation.
The provision of monuments in eyerincreasfnxs

A second and even more direct influence in fos-

which has grown up with the development Of the

digestive tubes, and stated that his
discovery makes this possible. Phag-

new "elixir." - j..
The famous physician and surgeon
asserts that through the use of my
