A Correction
Our statement last week about the
suit filed against the Snake River
Valley Irrigation district was not
quite correct, and reflected unde-
served discredit upon its condition
and management. The statement
should have applied only to the Snake
River Valley Canal Co. The irriga-
ton district is made a party to the
suit but none of the charges of mis-
management apply to the district. 1t
took over the canal company in which
mismanagement is charged.

FIGHT ON TYPHOID.
Efforts Being Made to Check
Spread of Disease.
Soldiers in the Regular Army, Officers
and Enlisted Men in the Navy, and
Hundreds of MiIitiamen Are
Being Vaccinated.

Washington.-The government has
demonstrated that typhoid fever prev,
alent all over the United States, and
a tremendous tax upon the life as
well as the finances of the nation, may
be prevented by vaccination. 1t has
already made thousands of men i'm
mune to the disease and thousands
more should be vaccinated against the
ravages Of the life-sapping disease, &C
cording to eminent scientists in the
employ of the government.
At present, soldiers in the regular
army, officers and some enlisted men
in the navy, and hundreds of militia.
men are submitting to vaccination
against typhoid. When one realizes,
that, out of 1900 soldiers inoculated
with typhoid vaccine in Texas last
year in a district in which many I'm.
vaccinated persons died of the disease
not one contracted the malady, one is
impressed with the remarkable sue
cess of the life-saving serum.
Typhoid fever is the bane OF all
large cities. Small towns are often
decimated by an epidemic Of the dis
ease. Travellers fall prey to the nox
ious typhoid germs in all sections OF
the country. Under present conditions
Of sanitation, save in few places, nc
one is proof against an attack of the
often fatal typhoid germs.
Cities have spent millions upon mil
lions Of dollars in trying to fight ty.
phoid fever by creating pure water
supplies. In some cases, such as in
Washington, for instance, millious
were spent in purifying the water sup
ply so as to reduce the mortality from
typhoid fever without, however, sue
ceeding in lowering the death rate
from the disease.
In small towns, where typhoid cpl
denies have taken away large per
centage Of the Inhabitants, steps have
been taken by sanitary engineers tt
prevent future epidemics. In man!
cases, however, these preventive meth

A TROUBLE MAKER
Coffee Poison Breeds Variety Of lie.

A California woman who didn't
know for twenty years what kept her
i'll, writes to tell how she won back her
health by quitting coffee:
81 am 81 years DID," she says, "have
used coffee all my life, and for 20
years suffered from Indigestion and
insomnia. Life was a burden and
drag to me all the time, and about
once year my ailments got such hold
upon me that 1 was regularly sick In
bed for several weeks each time.
81 was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cause Of my trouble, but
am thankful that I found out the
truth.
"Then 1 determined to use Postum
exclusively-for a week at first-for I
doubted my ability to do without cot
fee for any length Of time. / made
the Postum carefully, as directed, and
before the week expired had my re-
ward in a perceptible increase in
strength and spirits.
Seeing the good that my short ex-
pertinent had accomplished, 1 resolved
to continue the use Of Postum, cutting
out the coffee entirely. This did for
nine months, finding, daily, increased
cause for qualification at my steadily
improving health. My indigestion grad
ually left me, my sleep returned,
gained &c pounds in weight, my color
changed from sallow to fresh, rosy
hue and life became a blessing
"Then I thought would try coffee
again, and did so for few weeks. The
punishment for deserving my good
friend, Postum, was a return of my old
troubles.
THAT taught me wisdom, and I am
now and shall be all my life hereafter
using Postum exclusively and enjoy
ing the benefits it brings me-" Name

the people felt most secure against its

Typhoid vaccine, therefore, has
been hailed as a blessing by dwellers
in these small towns, although it has
not been used by them to any great
extent.
According to eminent government
officials, the annual toll Of typhoid
fever in the United States, which runs
we'll up into the thousands, is an alb
solute waste Of life. Were 10000 lives
claimed annually by football, by box.
ing, by war, by fire-fghting, or by per.
sons being caught by fire in moving
picture theaters, the people Of the
country would rise up in wrath and de-
mand that such fatalities cease with
out any delay. Take delirous typhoid
fever, which, when not fatal, often
leaves it's victims handicapped for life
and the people are more tolerant, al.
though the disease may be prevented,
as may the fires in moving picture
shows or the fatal accidents on foot
ball fields.
While anti-typhoid vaccination is alb
solutely infallible under certain limi.
tations in the protection Of the indi.
vidual, the government and many OF
the public health officers in the larger
cities of the country are OF the opin-
ion that anti-typhoid vaccination
should not, at this time at least, be.
come general in the big cities. They
fear, that, should the citizens Of a
large city become vaccinated as a
whole against typhoid fever, the city
as a whole would become careless in
sanitary matters.
The government wants it distinctly
understood that typhoid vaccination
should not lessen the sanitary precau-
tons at the bedside in cases of the fe-
yer, the distinctions of the typhoid
excreta in the household, the keep
ing of water supplies, both private and
public, free from contamination, the
publication of public water supplies
where impurities are indicated, and
the supervision Of the production and
sale of milk, and other foodstuffs.
Health officers are well aware that,
the moment there Is the least let-up
In the enforcement of sanitary regula'
tiors, epidemics follow.

In George Washington's time Alexandria-or
Bellhaven as it at first known along about
the middle of the eighteenth century-was one OF
the most prominent ports in the United States and
seemed to hold out every promise OF extensive
development in the future. George Washington
himself took a hand in booming the port. which
developed an extensive foreign trade. The docks
were crowded with warehouses filled with corn,
tobacco and other products, while in the harbor
were always to be found many of the largest class
of cargo ships of that period loading and dis
charging a variety of commodities AS the Amer
lean terminus of heavy overseas trade Alex
andria became we'll known in shipping circles IN
England, and it was thought for time that the
port the Potomac would overshadow Baltl-
more. Then the various influences that
combined to bring about the commercial eclipse
of the little city so dear the heart Of the ma
TONS liberator. One Of the first Of these was the
establishment only few miles away OF the cap1-
tai Of the nation, which speedily overshadowed
Alexandria in various ways. Then came the
building of railroads. which diverted much traffic
to other channels, and finally the Civil war
helped to put a blight upon the community
which had long been one of the strongholds OF the
Lees of Virginia.
But even in this twentieth century neglected
Alexandria gets ION the map as least one day
each year-namely on the 22d of February. when
with each recurring anniversary OF Washngtons
birthday there is a big celebration in the little
city that is filed with landmarks and objects
identified with the private life and public career
of the leader of the Revolution. Often the presl-
dent of the United States goes to Alexandria by
boat or trolley to participate in the exercises,
and the governors of Virginia and Maryland are
invariably invited On such occasions the town
which is located in closer proximity to historic
Mount Vernon than Is any other community, ap
pears almost too small to accommodate the
crowds that invade her public places. For, be 1t

they have undergone little If any alteration since
the days of George Washington.
Old Alexandria is going on" three hundred
years of age, for 1t founded long ago as
1870, although, as previously explained, it was
known for some score of years by another name
In 1S48 the general assembly Of the colony of Vr-

town retains to this day the names of its streets,
chosen in the days of long ago from the titles OF
royalty and nobility. Thus we find as the most
