According to Health Commits

and there are instances where
the disease is spread by con

eff any community effectual-
ly protects itself against typhoid
fever" said DIR. Williams, "by
the building of sanitary out
buildings and by the protection
of its water supply, that com
munity has practical insurance
against cholera. OF course,
scattered cases might appear,
but if these were properly
watched in a sanitary commu-
nifty, there would be compare
lively little danger that the
disease would spread.
"rhere are a large number of
cities and towns in Virginia
which have nothing to fear
from cholera, and their number
is steadily increasing as our
people realize that sanitary ar.
rangements and good water not
only protect from typhoid but
add much to the general health
and comfort of the community.
If the people will support health
work in this State, the com.
municable diseases of filth and
uncleanliness will certainly
lose their hold upon US.

For the past week the State

Prince Henry, of Prussia, who
came to the United States, not
so much as n aurel-crowned
hero Of well-won battle, but
as the representative and rela-
tive of a friendly sovereign.
According to the tentative
plans of the two departments,
Admiral Togo and his aide will
arrive ut New York August 4,
where the hero Of the Sea of
Japan will be met by Captain
Templin NJ. Potts, u. S. N,
who has been detailed by Pres
ident Taft to represent the
United States government dur
ing Admiral Togo's stay in this
country, including his projected
trauscontinental journey, for
the Admiral will sail for home
from Vancouver. The itinerary
as tcniively prepared by the
State and Navy Departments
provides for a two days visit in
New York and it's environs.
He is expected to arrive in
Washington on August G, where
he will spend three or four
days During his stay in the
Capital he will be dined at the
White House and by Secretary
Of State Knox and the Secretary
Of the Navy Myer.
The Admiral will be taken to
