Campaign Against Typhoid.

Officials of the public health and ma
rine hospital service estimate that there
are $50, 900 cases of typhoid fever IN
the United States every year and $4,000
deaths.
The health experts of the Federal
Government are preparing for special
campaign against typhoid fever As
the disease most generally is caused by
impure water, one of the first steps to
be taken will be the investigation of the
water supply Of all cities that are locat-
ed on lakes or navigable streams.
Most of the cities which are situated
on the Great Lakes or on navigable riv-
ers get their water supply from these
| lakes and rivers. In the great majority
of cases these cities also empty their
sewage into the same waters from which
they obtain their drinking water supply.
This is anything but sensible thing to
do, 1t would seem to invite disease,
but it has become So ordinary prac-
tice that people living in cities accept
it as right and proper and make no pro-
test against 1t.
DR.. Allan J. Mclaughlin, of the pub
lie health and marine hospital service,
recently made some timely comparisons
showing that the typhoid death rate in
| foreign cities was much smaller than in
American cities. DIR. Mclaughlin also
pointed out that from January, 1907, to
October, 1911, there was an epidemic OF
Asiatic cholera in Russia. Most news
paper readers will remember that Rus
sia's daily cholera bulletin appeared in
the papers of the United States for a
period of years, giving the number OF
deaths and the number of new cases.
In all that time, however, the actual
number of cases reported was 283, 664.
| According 10 CONSERVATIVE 6StlLldlo
the number of typhoid fever cases in
the United States during that same
period was l, $50, 900, or more than four
cases of typhoid fever in the United
States forsevery case of cholera in Rus
STA. In 1901, DIR. Hamilton says,
he heard a great deal about the ravages
of cholera in Italy, yet in those years
there occurred in Italy about 10000
cases of cholera and about 6, 900 deaths,
and in the United States in the same
period we had more than half mil.
lion cases of typhoid fever and 80, DOC
deaths. ="
1t is only by such comparisons thai
the people of this country can be made
to understand the appalling death toll

Home and Vote.

Washington, D. c., September IL
GO home everybody and vote for Will
son and Marshall. "
This has become the slogan OF the
Wilson and Marshall Democratic Club
OF the District of Columbia. The move
ment home this fall so they can vote
for the Democratic nominees has taken
on very earnest and business-like u.s.,
pect. A special committee has been
named to wait on the various railroads
running out of Washington with view
of securing reduced rates to nearby
States for the November election.
1t is planned to make the occasion a
political welcoming for all the Demo-
cratic clans. Washington is city OF
more than $4,000 souls, and great
majority OF its population are residents
of various States of the Union. The
District Of Columbia has no right OF
suffrage. and the man living in the
district is a man without vote. There
are many thousands of men employed
in the various departments of the gov
eminent who claim Tennessee, North
Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky, Mary
land, Virginia and other nearby States
as homes.
The bulk of these, it is claimed, are
for Woodrow Wilson.

Little Girl of the Period.

Little GIRL, what makes you look
small?
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no shiny shirt?
Don you wear no petti-skirt?
Just your corset and your hose,
Are these all your underclothes?
Little girl, when on the street
You appear to be all feet,
You sure are an awful sight;
Nothing on to keep you warm,
With your skirt SO very tight
Crazy just to show your form
Little girl, you won't live long
Just because you dress all wrong.

Than your corset and your hose2
After while I do believe
You will dress like Mother Eve.

know that Mr.. Clarence Clogs is IN

Of the Tri-State Fair. Another Obion

The Tri-State Fair was attended last

South. The fair was also one of the
best. The best talent is in charge OF
the enterprise, including, of course, our
own people who will have considerable
interest in the management. The Tri-
State Fair began few years ago IN
modest way with perhaps little idea IN
fact that it would grow to the proper
tiops that it has already attained. The
crowds last year were immense, and no
doubt this year they will be still larger
and the fair, already universal instr
tution. greater in every respect.

MORE HORSE TFIEFTS
IN CITY or NEW YORK

penltentiary system which shows
horse thefts in New York City are
more frequent than In the entire state
of Texas, Moreover, the report indt-
Gates q greater percentage of convIc-
ton of horse thieves in Texas than in
New York City.
This reference in the report Is
merely incidental, but is Of more than
passing interest because of the err
roneous belief still prevalent in some
sections that horse thieves, six
shooters and other evidences of early
frontier days still reign in Texas. In
comparing statistics on horse thefts
New York offered interesting data,
being the largest city in the country.
In New York horse thefts generally
are successful for the animal Is
stolen and disposed of before the law
is on the trail of the thief. In Texas,
the i1roads of the majesty OF the law
have cut the ratio of this department
of crime below that of the American
metropolis.

Imports and Exports.

Exports Of quicksilver from the
United States in 1911 are estimated,
from the records of the Bureau Of Sta
tistics of the Department Of Com
merce and Labor, at 22,7oO pounds,
valued at $4,000. In 1910 the exports
we're 144,237 pounds, valued at $751;
OFT. This notable decrease in exports
and the equally notable increase in
imports were due chiefly to the lack
of domestic supplies for consumption
and the consequent temporary rise in
price. According to figures of the
Bureau of Statistics the Imports for
the first six months ofl911 were
S61.14s pounds, valued at $fso,Ss9.
Although It is not expected that the
final figures will show an equal rate
of Importation for the remainder OF
the year, the total imports for 1911
may be estimated at 100000 pounds,
valued at $4,000, against Imports
of only 667 pounds, valued at 1881, in
1910. Quicksilver from Mexico DIS re-
ported among the imports for 1911.

Of $46.01, at $1,00S,9s4. A comparison

published by the Survey for 1910
shows a gain Of 1920 TASKS ard al
$45,s31 in value. There were twenty
two mines producing in 1911, Of which
nineteen are In California.
The production for 1912 will prob
ably show little change in the aggre-

be a slight tendency toward increase.

output of 1910. This increase was
made notwithstanding the completion

the falling of in output of several

substantial increases in production at

Western Hemisphere, continued their
important output, producing nearly
half the quicksilver yield of the coun.

In Colusa county there was nomi-

In Lake county the Helen mine yield

was a falling off in output as result
of the final cleanup at the Great
Western mine. In Napa county the
Aetna and Knoxville mines both in
creased their production, but the
cleanup at the Napa mine had been
completed in 1910 and for this reason
there was considerable decrease In
output for the county. In San Benito
county there was decreased produc-
ton from the New Idria mine and an
increase from the Esmeralda proper
ties, the net result being falling of
for the county output in 1911. In San

Market and Prices.

Owing to the breakup of the ar
rangements between most of the do
nestle producers and the selling COM
pany for the marketing Of the output,
prices fluetuated considerably in 1911.
owing principally to the discovery OF
the absence of reserve stocks and lim-
tied domestic supplies, and to inde-
pendent sales by the larger producers,
Frequently the demand considerably
outran the supply and prices rose
sharply. The average domestic price
for the year was s46.o1 at San Fran
