Typhoid Plans
Are Complete
Health Department Makes
Special Arrangement to
Protect Suspected
Water.

Richmond, Va, May 25.-
Although no serious outbreaks
of typoid fever have vet been
reported this summer, the State
Health Department has compile
ted its plans FOO It's preventive
campaign and on yesterday an.
nounced the details of the ar
rangement by which the De.
partment will combat disease
that attacks more than ten
thousand Virginians every
year.
AS heretofore, all serious out
breaks of typoid fever will be
investigated. This does not
mean, according to health of.
ficers, that every case of ty.
phoid fever will be studied by
the States experts, but that
where any number OF cases are
reported in q locality and where
there IS any suspicion of a com
mon cause, the State will at
once send its experts to the
field
The addition, the study of
epidemic typhoid begun by the
Department. last year will be
vigorously prosecuted this sum
mer. This inquiry, which is
under the direction of Assis-
tant Commissioners A. w. Free
man, is directed towards the
solution of what has been re-
garded as n standing sanitary
puzzle in Virginia, the APP
pearance of small number of
typhoid cases in rural districts
year after year without any
known general cause. DR..
Freeman will be assisted this
year by DR.. l.. l.. Lumsden. of
the United States Marine Hos-
pital Service. DR.. Lumsden. n
native of Orange County, has
had much experience in work
of this character and was de-
tailed for the work by Surgeon
General Blue at the special re-
quest of Health Commissioner
Williams.
a new feature of the typhoid
campaign this year, as lust an
nounced, will be the use of a
portable hypo chlorite plant in
epidemics where the water ia
suspected of causing the d.
sease. This plant is of simple
design and can be used where
there is reason 10 believe that
any outbreak of fever ia due to
a general pollution of the water
supply. The plant can be quick
ly transported aud installed
until the water has been tested
and its part in the occurrence
of typhoid definitely determin-
ed.
1.-The success of our typhoid
work" declared Commissioners
Williams yesterday sis in large
measure dependent upon the
promptness with which out
breaks are reported. Much
sickness can be prevented and
many lives can be saved IL the
health authorities are promptly
advised of the appearance OF
typhoid. We cannot too strong
ly urge upon the medical pro-
tession the Importance Of i'm
mediately notifying the health
department when they discov-
er typhoid in their practice"

UNITED STATES
CAVALRY MANEUVERS

rider is not dismounted.

Arrangements have also been
completed for 3-8 mile races by
the troopers, outside entries not
being permitted in these races,
although arrangements have
been made for horse races be.
tween local horsemen. All races
must necessarily be short.
Many other features will be
added to the above in this mill
tary tournament, such as wall
scaling and cavalry charges. Ii
the sand hole at lower end of
the Athletic ground can be
made to hold water (Which ex-
pertinent will b made this
week. contestants with horses
and riders in water will be
held.
The above are only u few of
the features talked over with
the officers of the Cavalry troop
at Fort Oglethorpe recently.
The program for these two dates
are so arranged that we recon-
mend to those wishing to see
the full cavalry drill and con
tests that they be on the athle-
tic grouds both in the afternoon
and morning of July Bird and
4th. The military drill aud
tournament by Company D-Ilth
United States Cavalry will be
given by sixty FIVE mounted
men, not including officers, and
it will be an exhibition that
many people will never again
have an opportunity to witness.
The riding tournament by
local people will be of great in.
terest as all horsemen will be
i'll uniform representing some
knight of old. We urge all
those looking forward to good
time on July Bird and 4th to
visit Big Stone Gap on either
or both of these dates.
During the next week we
hope to be able to state exactly
what events will be programmed
on each date. Some amuse-
ment features are still pending,
but as promptly as plans are
perfected and programmed an
nouncements will appear in
these columns.

POTATO RACE.

A very amusing features as
well as one showing the skill
OF DO h horses and riders.
Briefly described the contest is
as follows; viz. A bucket OF
potatoes is placed at one end of
certain distance for each con-
iestant, an empty bucket at the
other end, the rider transferring
a given number of potatoes
from the one bucket to the
other first being the winner.
The transferring of potatoes is
accomplished by means of a
spear which each horseman
carries. A horseman is permit
ted to pick a potato from the
spear of another if he can. The
riders are permitted to employ
any method of taking potatoes
from one bucket to another so

Som e of the Many Features
That Will Interest You
at Our Celebration.

The Big Stone Gap Athletic
Association takes pleasure in
announcing to the public that
arrangements for the military
tournament and Cavalry drill
are go well advanced that these
features will be given promi
nent places on the program for
July 3rd and 4th. Full descrip
ton of the different contests in
this branch of the program will
be published as the local athle
tic program is perfected, but to
give general idea OF this Cav
airy drill and contests to those
who contemplate visiting Big
Stone Gap on these dates, we
mention the following. The
program of the 4th will be en-
tirely different from that of the
3rd, no features carried out on
the Bird being repeated on the
4lh Some of the riding tourn-
ament and contests, in order to
determine the winner, will
have to start on the Bird and be
worked out on the 4th. These
Cavalry drills will be given by
Company ID. 18th Cavalry,
Captain Rawell commanding.
The drills will show the won
derful training that is given
Cavalry horses in responding
to music.

RESCUE RACES,
| N this event cavalrymen
viii show how while riding at
fast gate they can pick up n
dismounted comrade without
loosing their own arms, the dis

possession of his arms. This
feat is considered one OF great
merit.

men and horses each, and car
RES with it several "thrillers. -
MOUNTED WRESTLING MATCH.
This is n contest between
mounted men (Bare Back the
object of each rider being to
dismount his opponent. Con-
testants will start together, and
the winners of the Bird will con.
test on the 18th for prize. This
contest is only dangerous to
those participating but requires
an extraordinary amount of
skill and training.

The Earning Capacity Of Dollar


Banks may break and railroad
stocks depreciate in value; the
weather may affect crop conditions
and sway thereby the money market

thousands upon thousands of invest

lions to he who plays few dollars
on the curb or through the tickers
In the bucket shops.
Dollars were made to supply our
daily waits and to earn more dol
lars. The earning capacity OF
dollar is only limited by the judg'
ment used by its owner in investing
It. The man who uses good, sound
horse sense in seeking a place for

may after that sit in the shade and
watch his surplus grow and the orig.

ratio.
No investment is safe unless 1t Is
guarded by good ano non-shrink'

thing which always has and always
will be an absolutely gilt edged Sc
curity.
Manufactures may burn and
strikes and other labor troubles put
railways out of commission and de.
moralize their securities in the II.

LIZ ASHINGToN.-It is decidedly hot
w in Washington. There is moth
ng especially new or startling in this
statement, may be, but II serves neat
y as an introduction TO the interest
ng narrative appended. During the
summer months, It seems, when a
Washington resident is not discussing
the baseball team he occupies his time
aguring reasons for the utter success
Of heat here.
Numbers Of perfectly reasonable
reasons have been SO figured. HUI
midity, for one; the discouraging,
nushy asphalt; the white buildings;
the wide streets-oh, any number Of
reasons. Many residents cling to
Dne thory, but more declare that all
causes work together One single
cause. the latter argue, could not get
so much effect
However. this story is written to
parrate the discovery of an entirely
new theory accounting for the heat
peculiar TO Washington. 1t was dis
closed to a Washington visitor during
dragging, sun stifed walk along
Pennsylvania avenue the other after
noon. It was a typical Washington
summer day, the kind referred TO by
an old resident who said:
well, / admit that the mornings in
