Much Less Fever Than Last Year

A special dispatch from Richmond
say: Typhoid fever is claiming
much smaller toll in Virg mia this
year than it did last year, according
to reports of the State Health De-
partment made public today. Ply
sicians in rural Virginia reported a
total of 1854 cases of typhoid dur
ing the month of July. 1909. while
during last month they reported
only 1897 cases, showing a decline
of 1857 in the total number of cases.
This decrease in the amount OF
fever is considered by health Off
GERS here to be the greatest victory
yet gained for better health in the
country districts. A statistician OF
the city, interested in such matters,
expressed his opinion that the net
saving to the State by this decrease
in the amount of typhoid would not
be less than six hundred thousand
dollars to say nothing of the sorrow
and death averted.

AS Good as Flour

Officials of the Agricultural De-
partment say that there is no dan
ger of shortage Of food stuffs in
the United States, for since the
South has discovered a process by
which cottonseed can be turned into
a meal. or flour, short wheat crop
would not create an advance in the
price of bread. Cottonseed meal,
say officials of the department, is a
good substitute for -four, although
it has not the light color of wheat,
but its nutritive qualities exceed
those of wheat.
II the men engaged in producing
cottonseed meal advertised the mer-
it's of cottonseed meal and quoted
from the reports of the experts of
the Agricultural Department, which
places that product in the front
rank OF food stuffs, the demand for
it would soon grow to such point
that cottonseed would be q close
second to wheat.

The Tariff

The people of this country are be-
ginning to find out through bitter
experience that protective" tar
iff only protects few already too
rich manufacturers. Protection
is very seductive and misleading
word to the average voter. BY
voting for such a policy he is simply
making the necessities of life all
the more high. The one cardinal
difference between the Democratic
and Republican parties is the tariff.
A Democrat is man who believes
in a tariff levied for the purpose OF
revenue only mot free trade), while
a Republican is man who believes
in a protective tariff which is the
