TYPHOID IN RAW FRUIT.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
sir: The State Commissioner Of Health
OF PENNSYLVANIA, DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, has
wisely called attentions 10 the danger OF
eating unwashed raw fruit. In a circular
letter recently issued DR. Dixon says:
Fruit which may look very attractive
when served ar a meal has very probably
been handled b, many human hands,
TRANSPORTED long distances and exposed to
much dirt and the visitation OF insects, par
ticularly flies Of various species
''It is too soon for even our very young
neopIe TO forget the food that was infected
with typhoid fever by flies which caused
eo. many deaths among our soldiers in the
Spanish American War.
"Before raw fruit IS eaten it should be
carefully washed with pure water. and
spoiled fruit which attracts great va
riety of insects, should never be eaten raw
The time and energy required to wash raw
fruit are d bagatells alongside of a case

PATRIOTISM AND PocKETBooKs.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue OF to-day I ses among
letters to the editor one suggesting that
you get around among the different classes
OF men and learn their opinion of Colonel
Eoosevelt's present conduct"
Being a travelling man, I get around A
little, and, aside from finding an occasional
business man who feels that tho present
campaign of education is affecting his bust
ness and Is therefore disgruntled, my cx-
perience is that Roosevelts following is as
great as, If not greater than, ever. If We
