TYPHOID FROM PLANTS.
04 kiveAS,om Seventy to 1:ghty
DAYS in the Soil,

Typhoid fever as carried by plants, has
been the subject of careful investiga-
ton just ended by Surgeon Creel of the
public health and marine hospital serv-
ice. DR.. Creel says that the length of
time the typhoid fever germ would live
in soil under ordinary conditions ap-
peared an important factor in the spread
of the fever He said that the water sup
ply and the milk supply of cities had re-
ceived much attention, and it seemed wise
to determine as accurately as possible
how long the fever would live in the soil
and what the chances of infection were
from eating uncooked vegetables.
The details of the experiment are too
the conclusions are of great practical
Importance. 1t was found that the fever
infection was taken UP by the leaves
and stems as they pushed through the
infected soil. The fever germ was recov-
cred from the tips of leaves that were
clean and free from soil to all appear
ances. 1t was found that rainfall does
not cleanse the plant of fever infection
1t was found that the life Of the fever
germ continued for thirty-one days at
least-long enough for certain varieties
of radishes and lettuce to mature. 1t was
found that while the typhoid fever bacil-
lus lived for from seven to thirty days
in water, it lasted from sixty to seventy
days in soil.
The deduction from the whole set OF
experiments was that raw vegetables
grown on soil infected with typhoid germs
are active distributors of typhoid, and
that there should be stringent laws
against using sewage water for fertil-
| izer.

SKIN DISEASE ON FACE

Barthell, Ky-"I had a skin disease on my face, neck and hands that tor mented me all the time and when I would get hot the places would burn so that l had to keep my face wet in cold water. It began as pimples and indeed it was dishguring, for it would get in spots on my face and hands as large as a quarter of dollar It would get into blisters sometimes and I sure did suffer. My face burned all the time. It was this way so bad for about six years and I tried everything that l could hear of, but nothing did any good.
 One day found the Cuticura Soap and Ointment advertised and ordered some at once. 1 would wash my face good with the Cuticura Soap and then apply the Cuticura Ointment and they have cured me. It would take half a tablet to tell all I suffered in those six years" (Signed) Mrs. Della Hnl, Jan. 3. 1912.

OTHERS KNOW US TOO WELL
Easy to Deceive Ourselves, but the Rest of the World Is Gener-
 ally Too Wise.

Senator Pomerene has a happy knack of driving home a statement with an epigram.
 At luncheon Senator Pomerene described a would-be literateur.
 Thanks to whisky and strong cigars, he said. the poor fellow has failed to make good. He earns a pre- carious living by newspaper work. but. though he is 50 now. none of the wondrous novels and thrilling stories that he used to prate about have ap- peared
 And yet, in his shabby apartment. over a bottle of cheap liquor and d box of cheap cigars. he will boast by the hour-poor, gray, wrinkled duffer of his unfinished MSS. Oh, they will appear yet, Yes, he will yet IL lumine the world with the light of his genius"
 Senator Pomerene sighed and con cluded
 "Ah. if We could deceive others as easily as we deceive ourselves. what regulations we'd all have. to be sure."

PRESSURE ON STOCK
Of GAS LIGHT CO.,
WITH SALES TO IS
Market Is Comparatively
Steady, With Marked
Slow Down in Trading.

Washington Gas was the only stock
In which there was even a modest de-
gree Of activity. Pressure is being ex-
erted on the stock evidently for cum
ulative purposes. but on the road down
from 90 comparatively little stock has
come out. There is no reason why any
holder should be discouraged. as the
assurances are that the annual report
will much more than show the dividend
earned. The statement made by the re-
Gently elected president anent the ability
of the company to stand even lower
prices than those now prevailing do not
sound well in the face Of the 1911 record
with Scent gas, when much more net
profit will be recorded than at o0-cent
gas in previous years.
The break has been brought tbout by
q constant lowering of bid prices In an
effort to catch weakly margiped stock
and thus further weakened it--as said
before for cumulative purposes.
The story Of the market might be told
In twenty paragraphs or In one.

way common at 59%, of the preferred
