The Success of Typhoid Vac
CinatiOn.
IN. o. DALEY States)

The wonderful success of vacci.
nation against typhoid fever among
the troops who have been encam-
ped in Texas seems to justify the
order to make this precautionary
measure compulsory in the army.
All of the medical magazines agree
that never before in military his
tory, in a climate like that of Tex
as, have 10000 men lived in camp
for three months without an Cpl
demic Of typhoid, but in the
camps at Galveston and San An
tonic no case of the disease deve-
loped. 1t is we'll to say, however,
that in addition to vaccination
various sanitary precautions which
experience has taught were taken.
Some of tho medical scientists
do not feel justified in concluding
from this one experience that the
immunization is complete, but
when the record Is contrasted with
the great mortality of other occa-
sions when large bodies of troops
were encamped, especially the
Spanish war, the argument for the
continued use of the serum is en-
tirely sound. If the present re-
cord is continued the medical corps
of the army has added another to
its victories quite as great as the
conquest of yellow fever and ma
laria.
Vaccination as preventive of
typhoid has successfully reached
a stage which has compelled many
physicians to admit that it's appli-
cation in civil practice can no
longer be neglected. AS a matter
Of fact a great many people in
places were typhoid fever prevails
are taking the treatment voIunta-
rily.

Canal Suit Lost.

The special tax voted in favor OF
the Canal in tho Second Ward, at
tackled by F. B. Williams Cypress
Co., and others in a suit entitled
F. B. Williams Cypress Company
Ltd, W Police Jury st. Martin
parish OF ais.
Judge Simon had decided the
suit against the parish and the
Supreme Court maintained bis de-
cision.
Syllabus:
proceedings to authorize. levy
and collect special taxes are pro-
ceedings in invitum, to compel the
owners Of property to pay wheth-
Or they arc willing or not, and, a.
that can be done only by virtue of
the law, it follows that if those
who seek to apply tho compulsion
60 outside of the law, or fail to
keep in its track. they place them
selves in positions of sheriffs,
without writs, and, in legal con-
temptation, have no power of CON-
pulsion whatever. Act 131 of
1898 las amended) provides that
elections for tho authorizing of
special taxes, under article 1872 of
the Constitution, shall be held IN.
der the general. election laws of
the State, meaning that they shall
be held in tho manner and accor.
ding to rules prescribed by those
laws; and, whore such an election
is held outside and in contravsn-
ton Of those laws it accomplished
no legal result. Judgement af-
firmed.
This opinion was read by JUS
tios Monroe, aud seals the fate of
the canal.
We have not yet read the full
decision Of the Supreme Court in
tho Canal suit, but if we have tho
right understanding of tho deci.
sion, mono of the special elections
hold in this parish were legally
held.

torney Robira filed an affidavit
before Judge Elliott in the city

with violating the law relative to
the practice of bypnotism and

formation from the state medical
board of examiners calling his at
tention to an advertisement in q
local paper by Mouton, announ-
cling his ability to cure diseases by
these means. Mouton claims that
no has not violated the law in
question and that the case is more
in tho nature of a friendly suit to
test the real scope and intent of
the law. The penalty provided
for in the law is fine from $50 to
500 or a Jail sentence from ten to
ninety days in Jail. Mr.. Mouton

OF one who is dear to me?

To lead him back in the path of RICH.

And help him strengthen his heart

Against that demon rum?

That pleads with me at night, -,
And tries to cleanse my heart from
wrongs ..-.1
And in their place put right.
So in the future will try
For all my wrongs to amend,
By doing all the good can
To every fee and friend.
