Typhoid Fever.

The special report of the public health
and marine hospital experts on the origin
and prevalence of typhoid fever in the
District. the fourth portion of which is
just published. sets forth the fact that
tine typhoid death rate i'm Wasuine ton
for the last four years has not been too
high for 1t TO be reasonably explained by
local conditions otherS than those, asso
ciated with the water supply and without
the need of speculation about the par
ticular operation in washington OF any
unknown factors i'm ting causa ZION of tnc
disease" 1t is to be: noticed that this
refers to the death ratl and not the NOR
bidity rate. This is because there is NO
accurate information regarding the preva-
lence of typhoid casesf and one of the
most urgent recommenS ations OF the ex-
perts Is that there sho Id be a riSid en-
forcement of regulations for the prompt
reporting of all typhYid cases. This
would permit a much m&re accurate study
of conditions than is no1 possible.
The second recomme$ dation is closely
allied with the first, That all typhoid
cases should be treated 9s contagious and
dangerous to the community. In view OF
| the present Scientific knpw.edSe regarding
the nature and causes of typhoid fever
and the ease of its transmission, it Is re-
markable that this disease has not been
officially declared to be contagious and
thus put under rigid regulation. While
smallpox, scarlet fever. diphtheria and
other diseases of far les prevalence are
thus treated, and while the community
shudders at the thought Of leprosy, and
| insists upon the remote isolation of any
rare cases thaj may appear, typhoid is

still rated az an ordinary ailment. and
treated at home with just SO much sani-
tary caution as the physician and the
family may choose to exercise.
Not until typhoid is definitely rated and
treated as contagious disease with
prompt reports to the health authorities
at the first diagnosis, and perhaps even
with isolation. will this terrible menace
to human life be properly met The fight
against the causes and means of trans
mission, to secure pure water and milk
supplies, untamted oysters and other foods
which. when eaten raw, often carry the
disease germ. will be facilitated by mu-
nicipal reguiatfons designed to reduce to
a minimum the risk of q spread from one
case to another within the premises This
report deserves to be carefully studied by
the municipal authorities and by the Dis
trlcts Legislators, and should result in
helpful remedial and preventive legfsla-
ton. to the end of bringing Washingtons
rate of sickness from typhoid down to a
much lower point than it is at present, so
that instead of the negative assurance
of the public health service experts the
capital can be given really clean bill
of health on the score Of this unques-
tonably preventable disease.

The Wasteful Retail System.
A the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Mr.. William Church Osborn. a member
of the commission appointed by Gov Dix
to Investigate food prices in this state, re-
marks 81 ia the cost OF distribution WsnIcn
makes the retail price of an article twice
its wholesale price. The waste of the
distributing system, SO far as the retail
trade is concerned, is obvious. Shops pur-
veying food are numerous in every neigh
borhood. Every family in street. has
it's own favorite grocer and butcher. The
result is that in order to supply the resi-.
dents OF q block with their meat for din
ner a dozen or twenty butchers wagons
have to go the round. Where one or two
wagons by a single trip. might supply the
neighbOrhood If the business were sys-
tematized and an effort at economical
management were possible. ten times that
number are necessary. and since the tele-
phone keeps the retailer constantly at the
call of his patrons several trips may be
required to suit the convenience of the
different householders.

activity, and usefulness our library nearly
equals that of Baltimore cat smaller ex-
pense per volume of circulation). though
Baltimore has nearly twice the population

button as against one IN Washington.
A fbrary's value is measured by its
readers and by the helpful character Oh
their reading There is no economy IN
refraining from expenditures which en-
able the public to utilize the book treas
ures collected in the library.
Carrying the reasoning of the appropria-
tons committee TO its logical conclusion,
the ideal economical library would be the
old Library of Congress, housed in the
Capitol, which boasted nea0y three
fourths of n million of books maintained
for over seventy millions of Americans,
at cost SO slight as to he insignificant,
microscopic. Of course the book treas
ures of the library were practically in
accessible to the people and almost worth
less AID the interest, both educational and
pecuriary. on the millions of book value
represented by the Library was wasted.
The. economic folly is suggested of the
bogus economist. denounced in the
Scriptures. who by hiding his talent in
the earth attained an absolute minimum
of expenditure in respect to it,
In nrging a distinct increase of the
preseAt inadequate maintenance of the
library the trustees have pointed out that
while, the library's work, its activity and
usefulness. have wonderfully increased
i'm tho last three or four years, the work
ing force during that period has been
practically at standstill that the per-
centase of District appropriations devoted
to the library about one-half of 1 per
cent? has in the same period steadily de-
creased: that underway and overwork
have caused the force to lose each year
abour third of it's whole number by
resig4ation; and thal the per capita Ii
brarN expenditure for Washington was in
1910 Sower than in twenty of the twenty
six smerican cities having over 2Oo,OOO
population.
Washington is reasonably confident that
on Reconsideration liz the light of these
facts! and figures the House committee
will agree that the slight increase in IL
brary appropriations, proposed by the
Commissioners, should in justice be
prombtly and fully made.

LUXURY.
When homewar,

When homeward from his busy day the
toiler travels far
He'll simply push a button when he
wants to stop the car;
The man will pull a lever and the door
will open wide
And gently jolt him down the step into
the street outside.
A button he will press to start the ele-
vatOr's flight;
Another button floods the room with soft
electric light.
And then to cheer the WEAKNESS that
comes at close of day
He throws switch and turns a crank
and let's the music play.
Oh, what's the good of hands and feet
and what's the good of brain,
When with such little effort men such
ample service gain?
What call is there to strive and wait and
theoriZe and guess,
When all You need is to decide which
button you will press?

Mexico.

This revolt at Juarfz may mean much
or little. It may be. but the flash of an
expiring turbulence created by the Ma
dero.Diaz contest. 1t may be a signal
for az general renewal of turbulence, with
the AIadero government as the objective.
Th3re is great difficulty in appraising
the situation in Mexico. Even the Mex
lean authorities thepselves seem uncer-
tain About it. The movements of rough
men in rough sections are not easily
FOLLOWED. Bands form hastily, and as
hastily disperse. Sometimes their .pur-
pose is simply loot Sometimes it is
graver. few hundred robbers boldly
led may have a political connection, and
as factor in pol ;tical game do much
injury.
1t IS safe assumption, however. that
conditions in several localities are
'.ticklish'' The ord government was
swifsly overthrown. end the new one hur-
riedii established. C,ommotion was every
where. and in a country like Mexico
comrnotion does not speedily subside. A
tast.. of fighting cree ties an appetite; and
lighting men with l'onies spring readily
into sthe saddle.
If this outbreak stt Juarez has a sig
nificSnce more than local, upon whom are
the enemies of the Agovernment relying?
Diazs is too old to .'Cpme back" And, by
the way, he is maIiging to live very
quies life in Europe. The wires have
not carried his name for months. 1t
would puzzle the clo4est reader of foreign
Newspaper intelligence to locate him to-
day. Wherever he may be, he Is prob
ably well and mfoTtable But an octo-
genarian, however notable his past, is not
a figure to conjure with for revolutionary
purposes.
GeA. Reyes has tecently failed as a
stirrAr of strife. H.. proved as much of
a surprise to his enemies as to his friends
Botis were looking 70 him for demon
straHon of strength. But he could neither
gathAr force Of any size, nor hold to-
gethsr the small fore that had responded
to HIS call. He was taken almost as
easily as a rat in a trap; and in prison
has Hxcited no interest. He, too, was too
old TOR revolutionary purposes.
Is shere the stuff IF national hero in
Zapsta? We know little about him in
this country, and that little nothing to
his eredit But thef accounts have come
froms his enemies, and for that reason
may DE discountable:
Wes have still a watch on the Rio
Granie, and still a duty to perform if
the worst comes. American sympathy
is wish Madero, who is competent man
of good Intentions, and friendly to us.
III We can make his venture march" we
shall all be glad. But if his strength
Shouts fail him, ana he be overthrow
as Dsaz was, our interests might require
prompt and vigorous action on our part
in behalf of law and order.
