Organize Eight Oh TYPHOID FEVER,

Richmond, Va, May Is, 1911.
In order that Virginia may conduct
the fight on typhoid fever in the
most eife, tual manner during the
coming summer, Commissioner
Williams has organized his fighting
force and announces that every ep-
idemic of typhoid feverin the State
will be investigated by his experts,
if prompt notice of the outbreak is
reported.
mot every cpl lemic of typhoid
fever can be stopped at once,
said Health Commissioners Williams
in making his announcement today,
but almost all of them can be re-
duced and many can be effectually
stopped if prompt report is made
and the investigation is begun with
out delay. We have no law in the
State which gives us an immediate
report of every suspicious outbreak
Of typhoid fever, and are forced to
rely on the physicians and on the
strong public sentiment. We can
do nothing more than state the
facts to the people and urge them
to inform the Department of every
epidemic as soon as possible. OF
course we cannot investigate lndl-
vidual cases, but we can and will
Investigate community outbreaks
as soon as they are reported. 1t Is
not too much to say that we may
expect notable reduction in the
'"nhor i typhoid cases in the
State if work on these epidemics
can be started early in their course

health officers, town authorities
and the public generally, to keeE

III their locality. Without cooper
alton, the forces of the Department
cannot perform their best public
service.

RECIPROCAL AUTO LAWS

At last regular session of the
WestV irginia State Legislature in
January, an automobile law was
passed which becomes a law this
month.
This new law will be greatly APP
preciated. not only by local auto
enthusiasts but by those from adj
joining states as we'll, foritprovides
that autoists from states having
the reciprocal class in their law may
tour in West Virginia without a
license. This will permit antoists
to make the famous Shenandoah
Valley trip without having to take
out a West Virginia license.

Chlldren's Health.

Richmond, Va, May "a, 1911
With an entire morning given to
the discussion of the health of
children, and with frequent refer
ences to the same subjects in prac-
tcally every meeting, health experts
believe that the Child Welfare Con-
ference,n now on in this city, will
result in great forward movement
for the care of infants.
Among the many points urged
by the various speakers, those which
made the deepest impression were
the strong plea for the nursing of
children by their own mothers.
Statistics were cited to show that
the mortality among breast-fed in
fants was stirling compared with
the mortality among children fed
from bottles; and a general crusade
was organized in behalf of breast
feeding.

"Savoyard," the veteran Ken
lucky newspaper correspondent,
with headquarters at Washington,
in a recent article pays eloquent
tribute to Virginia, as follows:
1T is everywhere conceded that
Virginia is the most illustrious of
the American Commonwealth. She
contributed to civil liberty the
tongue of Henry, the pen of Jeffer-
son and the sword of Washington.
She illumed the Christian civiliza-
ton and exalted the human race
with the lofty character of Robert
E. Lee. The Constitution fell from
the p as ic hands of her, Madison
and Mason and to the republic she
gave Kentucky and the opulent
empire called the Middle West.
Leader of the rebellion of '76, she
was the citadel of the rebellion of
81, and in her generous bosom
sleeps more valor than reposes in
the soul of all the rest of our hem
isphere besides. When the South
was at bay against what was prac-
tically the world in arms the Old
Dominion was bleeding at every
pore, the vulture tooe her tortured
vitals and the vandal carved from
her side what is now West Virginia
and made it an annex of Pennsyl-
vania."

it cannot possibly eat the meat 1t

WILL DEVELOP GNkAT
ORCHARDS In VIRGINIA

Covington, Va, May 80 The
Virginia Crown Orchard Company,
Incorporated, bloomington, capital
lied at 100000, was iecently
chartered under the laws of Virgin
ia for the purpose of doing a gen.
eral orchard business.
The incorporators are T. N.
Gathrignt, W. H. McConihay and
Thomas B. McCaleb, all of Coving-
ton.
This company has purchased
800 acres of very rich, limestone
land in falling Spring Valley, be
tween Covington and Hot Splngs,
which will be put into an apple
orchard and has also purchased
from Coleman brothers, their 100
acre Lick Mountain orchard, four
miles from Covington.
All of the stock has been sub
;cribed and this company purposes
to spend fromS1O,000 to $4,000
this year and next to set out and
to push the development of their
orchard properties and expect to
set out about 10000 apple trees
the coming fall and winter.
The average elevation of these
orchards is about 1900 feet, which
is great advantage, as vegetation
is retarded at this elevation until
practically all danger of frost is
over in the spring of the year.
