Deadly Disease Unnecessary.

During each year from 20, 900 to
80, 900 Americans die from typhoid
fever, entailing an economic loss OF
at least 5000, 100000. But accord.
ing to DR.. Earl Mayo in a recent arti.
Gle this can be prevented. The state
board of health mas frequently pointed
out the relation of the house fly to
this disease and how the germs are
carried. People thus get the disease
when they least suspect it.
But people can now be vaccinated
against typhoid just as they car
against several other diseases. In the
U. S. army, all recruits will soon
thus be made immune to typhoid. In
the big army maneuvers in Texas a
year ago there was only one case OF
typhoid fever among all the thousands
of soldiers. The conditions were
practically the same as during the
Spanish war when hundreds in camp
died of it.
Gradually people are learning tt
protect themselves from sickness.

O. NICHOLSON DROWNED
Aged Pioneer Found Floating in
Lake near Home

Ole Nicholson, one of the pioneers
of Framnas township, was found float
ing in the lake south of his home on
Wednesday noon. Just how the &C.
cident happened to occur will never
be definitely known. He was about
as usual on Wednesday morning, and
was not definitely missed until noon
when search was instituted for him
and he could not be found His son.
Christ, who was in Morris, was noti-
fed, and also his son Henry, who
lives nearby. Mr.. Nicholson was in
the habit of rowing across the lake to
his mail box. and so search was made
for the boat. 1t was found drifting
near the shore and Henry soon dis
covered the body of his father floating
farther out. With the assistance of
neighbors, the body was taken from
the lake. Mr.. Nicholson could have
been dead only few hours and it is
peculiar that the body doated in such
a short time. but this was probably
due to the very hot weather. Mr.
Nicholson probably started to row
across the lake for his mail. and was
either prostrated or tainted from the
heat and fell out of the boat.
Ole Nicholson was IS years of age
and was one of the very first settlers
of Framnas township, and homestead
ed the beautiful farm on which he had
since lived. His wife died some
years ago, but he is survived by four
grown children. Christ, Henry and
Lewis, of this county. and Mrs.
Edwin Barsness, Of Pope county. Mr..
Nicholson was a sturdy, upright man
and a good neighbor, and the many
friends among whom he was held
in such high respect will sypmathize
with the family in their sudden sor.
ruW.
The funeral will be held from the
house today at noon and from the
church at o'clock. The services
will be conducted by Rev. A. Olson.
