TYPHOID FEVER

Typhoid is more dangerous than
smallpox.
1t is estimated. that 10000 people
die of typhoid in this country every
year.
In severe epidemics 80 per cent
of the cases result in death.
Typhoid is not strictly "contag-
ious." 1t can be contracted only by
eating or drinking something con-
tanning typhoid germs.
The after-effects of typhoid are
often serious. Heart trouble is one
of its most persistent followers.
Typhoid is peculiarly a summer
disease. Flies are its advance agent.
The criminal carelessness of human
beings makes it possible for flies to
stay in the typhoid business. For
typhoid is spread only by germs
from some person who has had ty-
phoid and these germs are scattered
only through the medium of the ex-
cretions from such persons.
If the excretions from all typhoid
patients were promptly burned or
otherwise sterilized typhoid could
not spread and would soon disap-
pear. But these excretions are not
generally sterilized. They are thrown
into sewers or open privy vaults.
The discharge from the sewers poi
sons rivers and wells, and thus peo-
people drink typhoid germs. Flies
get into the open vaults and carry
germs thence on their feet to the
very rim of the bottle from which
you pour your baby's milk.
So, to keep typhoid from having
typhoid:
Sterilize everything that you drink.
Do not drink water from wells
without boiling it.
Keep the flies out.
Keep your hands scrupulously
clean.
Never drink from a common
drinking cup.
Do these things and you won't
have typhoid.
When typhoid does get into the
home, the strictest sanitary precau-
tions should be taken to prevent the
spread of the disease.

While DR.. B. Goodfellow was
making call in his automobile the
bther day he met venerable farm
ner and his wife who were driving
q weakened, tottering old horse.
The farmer held up his hand with
a warning to the Doctor to stop his
car. The latter did so and at the
same time the farmers old horse
stopped and began nibbling grass at
the side. of the road, paying no at
tention at all to the automobile.
"What's the matter?" called the
Doctor, somewhat "riled." "Why
don't you drive by? Your horse
isn't afraid of the automobile"
mo-, yelled the farmer, "my hoss
ain't afraid of il, but my wife Is"
whereat the physician put on "full
speed ahead leaving sulphurous
streak in the atmosphere behind
him.

PRICE OF PAPER RISES

Publishers and other users of pa
per throughout the country have re-
ceived prize package. the past
week in the shape Of notice of a
ten to twenty per cent, raise in the
price of all kinds of paper. The
cause is said to be the increased
price of raw materials and the adj
vanced cost of labor. The truth of
the matter probably is, however,
that the paper trust, which poses
under the head of a "gentlemen's
agreement, having such a monopoly
that they can raise prices at will,
have decided that they need larger
dividends. And this is one case
where the ultimate consumer" does
not have to foot the bills, as ii will
be next to impossible for the pub
fishers and printers to raise prices
accordingly. If you have old paper
to sell, you ought to get better
price for il, but you won't, because
the paper trust is so firmly in
trenched that il makes prices at
both ends of the route which makes
il very pleasant for the members Of
the trust. One of the Industries
which Clio people could establish,
with absolute certainty of liberal re-
turns, would be paper mill. There
is no better paying business in the
country today, not even excepting
the automobile industry.

MEETS DEATH UNDER
GAR WHEELS AT FLINT
FRED NICKLESS VICTIM OF FAT
AL ACCIDENT

Montrose Township Farmer Stepped
Around Carriage Directly in
Front of Car Monday Afternoon.
WidOwer, Leaves Three Small
Children. Brother of George
Nickless, of Clio. Funeral Yes

Fred Nickless, aged AZ, Mont
rose township farmer, living a few
niles northeast of Clio, met his
death in a distressing accident Mon
day afternoon in Flint, by being
ground under the wheels of a ID. u.
Il. car on north Saginaw street.
The unfortunate victim stepped
around buggy in crossing the
street, directly in front of the on
coming car which caught him and
dragged him several feet, the wheels
crushing and grinding him horribly
he died at Hurley Hospital about
fonr hours later.
The accident occurred i'm full view
OF scores of persons who were At
tending an auction sale near by and
were attarcted to the scene by
Nickless' cry for help. Before the
body could be taken from under the
wheels it was necessary to jack up
the trucks of the car. The fact
that Mr.. Nickless had lost the sight
of his right eye may have been re-
sponsible in a measure for his fate
in asmuch as he may not have seen
the car coming or may have over
estimated its distance from him.
He was SO badly injured that little
could be done until he was taken To
the hospital in the ambulance where
it was found that his right leg was
practically severed below the knee,
and the remainder of the limb was
fractured up to the hip. His left hip
was dislOcated and his face was ter
ribly bruised from having been
dragged along the pavement.
A jury was empaneled by CorOn-
er Taylor after death and an inques-
will be held next Monday night.
Mr.. Nickless had lived in this vi
cinity for many years and was well
known. He was widower and
had three small children, Kirk, Har-
riet and James. He went to flint
Monday to secure housekeeper to
care for the children. He had
driven to Clio and left his team in
the barns here to take the car for
Flint. 1t is supposed he was at
tracted by the crowd at the auction
sale, as he was walkink along North
Saginaw street and started to cross
the thoroughfare to see what was
taking place.
Geo. Nickless, Of Clio, brother
of the victim was notified immedi-
ately after the accident, but did not
reach the city until after his brother
died. The body was brought to
Clio and the funeral was held from
the home of the brother, George,
north of the village, yesterday fore
noon. with interment in Woodlawn
cemetery.
Besides the children and the
brother named the deceased is sur
yived by two brothers, Harvey, of
Tuscola, and Charles, of Birch Run;
two sisters, Mrs. VIM. Moore, of
Bridgeport, and Mrs. Jennie Ogrnire,
of Portland, Ore; four hall
brothers, Benjamin, of Bridgeport;
Walter and William, of Gladwin and
John Nickless, of Illinois, and half
sister, Mrs. Fanny Ballinger, of
Gladwin

kill himself. Johnson was formerly d
fireman on the Georgia railroad, but
