Berlin, Dec. Appropriations are pro-
&C eding at the imperial court for the cele-
bration of the 2O0th anniversary of the
birthday OF Frederick the Great. One
of the principal festivities arranged in
this connection will be a gorgeous cos
tune ball at which Frederick the Great
and the principal men and women of
his court will be represented by present
day personages.
The Kaiser will appear dressed as his
ancestor, the Great Frederick, and all
the other eminent courtiers will mas
querade as the great men and women
OF the middle eighteenth century.
This festival will take place in the
imperial palace, Berlin, and already
there is keen competition for the invita-
tons which the first court chamberlain
will issue. In high German society de-
mands are now being made that all
foreigners, including Americans, shall be
excluded from invitations to this patrI-
otto festival. In previous years it has
frequently happened that distinguished
Americans have received invitations to
the great court festival, which is held
every January, while members Of Berlin
society were unable to obtain them.

begun in good time and various energetic

You have been judge of the California

THE recall, speaking generally, is a

rather than active. We have had it for
ten years in Los Angeles and have en-
ployed it but twIce-once to put a city
councilman out Of office and again to get
rid of a mayor. 1t was wisely used in
both instances. Los Angeles, however,
has an exceptionally excellent population,
made up for the most part of the best
blood. brains, and strength of the whole
nation. The recall would work admirably
among honest and intelligent people.
What might happen in New York or Chi

new VICTIM ADDED
To List Of Typhoid Fever
Sufferers.

Raymond Weber, resident of Jack
son township, is the latest resident OF
Wayne county to fall victim to ty.
phoid fever. This announcement was
made this morning by County Health
officer, j. E. King.
Although there are not many cases
of the disease here now, DIR. King says
that the annual epidemic is due at al
most any time. He says that the prin.
cipal agent in preventing an outbreak
of the disease before this has been the
hard rains that have visited the coun.
ty in the past few weeks. He says
rains are fine preventative for ty.
phoid.
Another prominent local physician
when asked his opinion on the mat.
ter said that rain was preventative
because it keeps down the dust. He
believes, however that flies and po
luted water are more responsible for
typhoid than dust.
The doctor who made the statement
limiting DR.. Kings theory said that il
must be remembered that typhoid il
not, as is often thought, disease tha,
can be inhaled, but one that must be
contracted by contact. He said "ty
phoid cant be inhaled, 1t has got to be
eaten or drunk" For this reason
dust is only an agent for the disease
when it gets into the throat and ii
swallowed. The rains do accomplish
a lot of good. though, in keeping dowI
