typhoid fever.
The immunization Of the army has
proceeded rapidly until, at the present

naval station died five days after the
first innoculation from a case Of walk

the maneuver division in camp San

Galveston furnished 1872 cases OF

Of tho camp. The city and the
camp had the same water, mix

being that the camp had been pro-

Like all true supporters of the agrl-

into political machine to boost
somebody for office. Keep them clean
