HEALTH BULLETIN
GIVES ADVICE ON
AVOIDING TYPHOID
Bad Water, Impure Milk,
And Flies Stated AS the
Sources Of Infection.

Advice as to how to- avoid typhoid
fever Is offered to persons about to
enter upon the summer vacation, by
the Health Department bulletin, made
public today.
"a considerable percentage of ty-
phoid fever now in the District" says
the report rs found in persons who
have Just returned from their vaca-
tions. Polluted water, contact with
persons suffering from the disease,
and infected milk and flies are the
most common source OF Infection.
Clear, sparkling water Is not always
pure. Lakes and streams into which
sewage is deposited are quite likely
to be polluted, and 1t is therefore ad-
visable when visiting in the country
or at the seashore to use boiled water
Tor drinking purposes.
Bathing in lakes or streams near
the outlet of sewers Is a source Of
danger. The milk supply should re-
ceiye special attention.
Files are another source of dan
ger. Screens, fly killers, fly poisons,
and stick paper are safety devices at
summer resorts"
The number of deaths In the Dis
trtct during the week was 122, rs
among the white and A among the
colored population. The births num-
bered 1876, of which 81 were white and
~ colored. The record of contagious
diseases is as follows: Diphtheria, g.;
scarlet fever. 8; typhoid fever, 6S:
measles, 9s7, and chickenpox, 1,712.

NO REFRESHMENTS FOR HIM
Pedestrians Hopes, at First High,
Dashed When Explanation
Was Made.

A pedestrian in North Carolina one
morning came upon a mountain cabin
which gave unusual evidence OF rural
industry. There was a fourishing patch
OF wild mustard at the rear of the
premises, a bantam hen on tho front
doorstep, and something that resem.
bled a milking stool overturned on the
hard-packed, yellow clay of the yard
Although IL was but ten o'clock in the
morning, the traveller decided to stop
and ask for refreshments, since he
might not come upon anything so
promising in many hours.
The tall, simply-clothed, and appar.
emily meagerly-fed woman who came
to the door looked at first amazed and
then resentful when her visitor made
known his request.
We've et," she drawled, In a re-
bukeful tone. "Jlm's gone to taowu to
fetch con meal"
Inferring from this that there was
no solid food in the larder. the man
cheerfully suggested a glass Of milk.
Again the woman shook her head,
while her sallow vissage heightened.
Jim went an forgot to milk the caow.
He won't be back till evenin'."
This seemed to be the travellers
opportunity, both to exercise his gal
lantry and to obtain a glass Of the
pure and unadulterated beverage
which he coveted.
'I'll be glad to milk her for you"
he offered, looking hopefully at the
overturned stool in the yard. II was
brought up on a farm"
Again the woman shook her head.
I'VE CANT, stranger" This time her
resentment was tinged with futile re-
greet. Jim rid the caow to taown."-

SIZE NOT RELATIVE MATTER
Scientific Explanation Of Why email
Men Seem to Possess Abnormal
Apostles.

Lecturing at the Sorbonne, N. Louis
Lapicoue, the eminent French scien-
fist, has endeavored to explain the
mystery Of why little men often eat
much more proportionatsly than big
men. II Is well known that the I'M
dersixed EsQuimaux eat enormously
more than the tall Hindus. Small ami
malls eat more In proportion than
large ones, and In everyday life we
will often see a little man eat q big
steak and trimmings In a restaurant.
while at the adjoining table a siI<oot
giant Weighing 2t0 pounds Hnds sat
isfaction In crackers and milk
Professor Lapicque says that the
quantity OF food consumed Ia not de-
termined by the relative efficiency OF
the digestive organs. On the con-
trary the digestive organs are more
efficient In small animals because they
are more urgently needed. With
smaller furnaces and boilers inside
them. and a relatively larger cooling
surface to provide for, the smaller
animals must attend to their stoking
and maintain their food supply with
much more care than their larger COM
panions. Proportionately to its weight
a pigeon requires FIVE times as much
nourishment as u man, bengal, d
kind of Oriental finch, six times as
much as a pigeon. That is to say. a
bengal must eat thirty times as fast
as a man or die of hunger. II he
took to meat eating by way OF saving
time and energy he would require his
own weight of underdone beefsteak
each day. At the same rate, and al.
lowing eight hours for sleep. a man
would have to eat substantial meal
every sixteen minutes.

This Chicken Is Equal to Best

McLeansboro. Ill.,, July 3O.-Mrs.
Fl. S. Beard claims to have one Of
the most intelligent hens on record.
While sitting on her lawn in the
west part of the city one day this
week, she was surprised somewhat
when Biddy, the hen. appeared be-
fore her and delivered message in
the lingo Of chickendom. AS she did
not care to be disturbed during her
reverie. Mrs. Beard scared the hen
away with no thought of any danger
lurking near. In a very few min
utes Biddy returned assuming a
striking pose again delivered a warn
ing to her mistress. Fearing that
there might be something serious
the matter Mrs. Beard at once fol-
lowed the hen a short distance where
she discovered a deadly spreading
adder. Mr.. Beard was called and
dispatched his snakeship. after which
Mrs. Biddy caroled one of her sweet
est roundelays. Mrs. Beard values
Biddy very highly and will see that
she is we'll cared for in the future.

matter on which all oldfashioneA

He advocates a reduction Of vegeta-

has to face the increased danger OF
tubercular meat, Itself probably \
large contributory cause OF consump-

This is DR.. Hulls idea OF a perfectly

all the year round: The basis for tho
diet Is found in meat. eggs, milk, but

Tariff Revision Inevitable.

The truth is that the people Of the
United States are determined to re-
wise the tariff. The more swiftly
the process proceeds the better it
will be for all interests concerned.
Tarhd& ooards can be useful In their
modest statistical way, but they are
Of only slight consequence in an
emergency like that which now
exists. AS these pages have more
than once set forth. the tariff COM
mission method is q Republican pro-
posal rather than q Democratic. and
it presupposes a gradual, scientific
reduction Of duties from the stand
point Of the Republican protection
ist policy. The Republicans held
out this olive branch to the voters Of
the county last fall, and the voters
elected it with an emphasis that
could hardly be mistaken except by
those of dull wit. The people Of the
country believe that there is quite
enough information about the pro-
duction and cost of wool and wooden
goods to justify tariff action. There
are very few people who believe that
as matters now stand the tariff
board, with its statistical tables
which are to be held in reserve un-
til next December.-could effect the
course of practical legislation or
divert the current Of public opinion,
as respects the wool tariff.-From
