A VACCINE FOR TYPHOID.

The announcement by Professor
Metchnikoff of the Paris Pasteur In
stitute that he has successfully in
noculated monkeys with the germ of
typhoid fever is a step in the direc-
tion of obtaining a vaccine for the
cure of that dreaded disease. The
difficulty of experiment along the
lines that produced the anti-toxin
serum for diphtheria has hitherto
been the seeming impossibility of
communicating the disease to the
lower animals. BY proving that the
disease can be given to monkeys
Professor Metchnikoff opens the only
way for a series of experiments to
determine whether there is a vaccine
that can be used with success upon
human beings.
Improved methods of sanitation
and water supply have reduced the
liability to typhoid in our large cities,
and improved methods of treatment
have lessened mortality among those
who do acquire it. But cure rela-
lively as effective, say, as that en-
ployed for diphtheria. is still want
ing. The world will hope that Prof.
Metchnikoff will soon be able to an
nounce such a cure and thereby en-
title himself to an honorable and
worldwide recognition akin to that
given to Jenner, Pasteur and Beh-
ring.

On Friday night there will be a
Bible talk, but not of the usual
kind. Distinguished men will tell
what they know about the Book,
and how they got to know it. Prof.
Hilprecht. who has just discovered
the Nippurian narrative of the De-
luge, may be among them.
On Saturday night the folks of
the lower west side may go to church
when they feel like going to the
theatre; that is to say, vaudeville
show will be given, and it won't be
programme of "parlor magic"
either. Mr. .Stelzle plans to give
special attention to this feature of
the week.
Mr.. Stelzle's assistant at the Tenn
pie will be the Rev. George Dugan.
For the last four years he has been
pastor of the wealthiest Presbyter-
ian church in Toledo, o., and has
given up a salary of S4,50O a year
to come to New York. In Toledo
Mr.. Dugan took such an active
part in affairs of the community
that the Chamber of Commerce
elected him secretary at a salary of
$1,000, but he declined it. He is a
graduate of Princeton University
and of Princeton Theological Semi
nary.

oh. dear to our hearts are the sad
days of springtime, when the annual
house cleaning recurs to our view,
when we sleep on the sofa and eat
off the mantle, in an atmosphere
strongly suggestive of glue; we think
of the stove-pipe, the SCOT that came
with it and sweet expressions so
fluent and fine but the saddest and
most bitter of all recollections is the
dusty old carpet that hung on the
line. oh, that dusty old carpet,
that rusty old carpet. that musty
old carpet that hung on the line!
We remember how, armed with a

harder we pounded the more it was

BACK TO NEW ENGLAND.
Those Abandoned Farms Likely Soon
to be a More Tradition.

The tide of brain, brawn and
money that has been flowing west
ward for decades is setting back to-
ward New England in an irresistible
undertow," declares a writer in Ad-
vertising and Selling.
For instance, in December the
Boston Office of the Boston and Maine
Railroad received thirty-two inquir-
les from points west of Chicago for
New England farms. Up in Vermont
the Commissioner of Agriculture re-
ceiyed during the last two months
requests for New England farms
from practically every State in the
Union. Multiply these by the hun
dreds of inquiries reaching other
agencies in each of our New England
states and decide for yourself wheth-
er or not the undertow is coming
eastward
Alphabetically the actual yields
have proved that the east has elm
ate, soil and facilities for producing
as good or as better crops than the
West. The additional feature of
having the consumer in the back
yard, so to speak, places the New
England farmer at great advantage
over his Western brother, who pro-
duces on higher priced land and
transports his product 5000 miles
across country. Per acre the East
beats the West in yield year in and
year out. Therefore it is simply a
business proposition.
Five years ago the New England
Homestead conceived the idea of run
ming better farming special train
through New England. 1t made ar
rangements with the Boston & Maine
Railroad, which furnished the equip
ment free, and the agricultural col
lege provided exhibits and speakers.
This train was four weeks running
through New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts and Maine. About
10000 persons were enthused as a
direct result. This was a big, pro-
gressive and enterprising step for
ward for New England.
"Then came the greater New Eng
land conference at Boston, at which
were represented all the New England
Governors, Congressman and public
officials representing industrial and
agricultural enterprises. 1t was a

gage in any contest on Sunday. To
that promise he has ever remained
true, although it has meant a
considerable monetary loss particu-
larly during one competition in
Paris.
His daily walks average about
forty-five miles, but more often he
exceeds that distance as on March
18th he walked 70 miles. He is
now ten days ahead of his schedule
and near Chicago. A rousing recep-
tion is to be given him on his arrival
in New York, including a testimon-
ial lecture at Carnegie Hall. Then
he plans lecture tour throughout
the country which he has crossed so
many times on foot.

unity and progress. One direct re-
suit of the conference was the great
New England fruit show held at Bos-
ton last October, which was admit
tedly the most comprehensive agri-
cultural event ever featured in New
England.
There 1t was that New England
showed fruit superior to the famed
product of the West and showed 1t by
the carload. Now preliminary ar
rangements are in hand for a big
New England corn exposition TO be
held next November

Sour Stomach
Mi-o-na Puts the Stomach in Fine
Shape in Five Minutes.

If your stomach is continually
kicking up a disturbance; you feel
bloated and distressed; if you belch
gas and sour food into the mouth,
then you need Mi-o-na Stomach Tab
lets.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets give in
stant relief. of course, but they do
more; they drive out the poisonous
gases that cause fermentation of food
and thoroughly clean, renovate and
strengthen the stomach so that it can
readily digest food without artificial
aid.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are guar
anteed to cure indigestion, acute or
chronic, or money back. This means
that nervousness, dizziness, and bill
BUSINESS will disappear. Druggists
everywhere and G. W. Peil, the drug
gist, sell Mi-o-na for SOC.

Seeding and planting is the order
of the day. Every farmer who may
be truly called farmer is busily en-
ployed in putting in his crops. The
croaker or paper farmer is sitting
about on store boxes at the village
store whiting and deploring the
state of the weather; too wet to
plow or plant anything" while last
week it was too dry. The weather is
never just right for those fellows
They, like wilkins Micawber, are
waiting for something to turn up, in
stead of going out to turn up some
thing. The prudent farmer is at
home, wet or dry, when it rains doing
odd jobs that he need not do when
he ought to be in the field. Appor-
tion your time, you need ali of it;
have a system in performing your
work; work in season, and plant ip
season, so when harvest comes the
fruits of your labor will be fully
realized. Stop your croaking about
the Worthlessness of the country. If
the county don't suit you, pack up
your traps and go. Nobody compel
led you to come here, and nobody will
stop you from going, provided al
ways, you can escape the sheriff.

One c the principal reasons why so
vast a majority of patents fail to re-
imburse the patentees is tat the lat

the invention, do not know how to
place an article on the market. Every

UNHEEDED WARNINGS.
IRaxter New Era !

The state lecturer against the spread
of tuberculosis wrote to the Marshall
town Times-Republican to write an
editorial calling the attention Of peo-
pie particularly to the dangers OF the
common drinking cup. etc. The same
request was made of the New Era. but
the letter was thrown into the waste
basket. The reason why the commune
cation was thus rudely treated by the
New Era was upon the same grounds
as told by the T.-R, which asks:
Whats the use? Is there any person
in the Times Republicans territory
who does not know the danger of the
public drinking cup. the ease with
which infectious diseases are transmit
ted by the person who spits on the
streets and in public buildings and the
danger OF lip contact with the tuber-
culosis?" No use at ALL From our
office window we every day see people
using a public drinking cup. And we
have seen men. said to be consumptive.
drinking from the same cup. Time and
again the New Era has warned against
this. People go right on counting the
white death" unconcerned. They de-
post their kitchen slops-some do
not, however-at their very doors, they
let filth accumulate at their barns
and outhouses, they never investigate
to determine a to whether the water
they are using is impure or not, and
they go right on neglecting all sanitary
provisions until they are face to face
with typhoid and the white plague
Then there is funeral. And the good
minister is very apt to tell the mourn
ers to cheer up-it's Gods will, any
way" Lots of things are charged
against God that He is not guilty of.
The person who evades or neglects the
commonest kinds of sanitary provis-
ions is to blame. God gives you a
chance to make good. If you don't it's
all your own fault.

SAME SAUCE FOR GOOSE AND eANpER.

The decision of Judge Smith Nc
Pherson on the injunction cases handed
down yesterday is simply reiteration
Of his previous assertion that the saloon
is an outlaw in Iowa. This later as
sertion is more definite. Ii says that in
his opinion the saloon has no legal
standing in the state, in effect that
every saloon now operating is being
operated in defiance of law.
Whatever may have been said of
Smith Mcpherson no one with an atom
Of sense has ever denied that he is a
learned and highly capable lawyer His
legal opinions are sound and his jul
dicial decisions stick AS between his
decision and that of the supreme court
o f;he state many good lawyers would
follow Mcpherson ana expect him TO
win on appeal.
Anti-saloon forces may take a hint
from the recent decision If the liquor
interests may appeal the opposition TO
those interests. Perhaps were Judge
Mcpherson appealed TO he might tenn
porarily enjoin the Illegal saloons which
are in his opinion being Illegally con-
Quoted in Iowa and which in his opin-
ion also includes every joint in the
state from a gin palace down to a beer
key and a tin cup in a dark cellar;
perhaps the court of las, resort might
make these permanent injunctions and
thus settle something definitely. Who
knows?
