DAIRYMAN TYPHOID CARRIER
Picture of Robust Health, But
Causes an Epidemic.

MOORESTOWN, n. j., August 10
The picture of robust health. Ellis
Kensler, superintendent of the David
Roberts dairy farm, the man the local
and state health experts declare is
the typhoid carrier who has spread
the epidemic that has Moorestown and
its vicinity in its clutches. told of his
fight to make H. s the model dairy of
Burlington county.
AS Kensler related how fate had
played him cruel prank by making
| that same dairy hotbed Of typhoid in
lection, farm hands were emptying 16O
quarts Of milk condemned as infected
by the health authorities.
1t was while working around the
| dairy, directing and occasionally help
that Kensler, unconsciously i'll with
typhoid, inoculated the milk with the
bacilli, say the health authorities.
Kensler said today he could remem-
Der feeling half sick" two days, but
supposed he had cold and did not call
a doctor. About this time he was in
the dairy more than usual. His splen-
did care of the Roberts dairy was
known in Moorestown and brought the
dealer who sold his milk the best trade
in the community. A majority of the
typhoid cases have developed in what
is locally known as the millionaire
colony.
Kensler almost wept when he said
his plight might rob him Of his GUS
toners.

la FOLLEHE'S CHARGE
DENIED BY OFFICIALS
Senator Had Asserted That
Postal Employees Had
RifIed His Mail.

Charges that officials of the Post Office
Department had rifled his mail i'm an at
tempt to delve into an investigation he
was making of the postal service marked
the discussion of the Post Office appropri-
alton bill in the Senate late yesterday
afternoon. The days discussion of the
measure ended when an agreement was
reached to vote on it at 4 o'clock this
afternoon.
Mr.. La Toilette exhibited in the Senate
a bundle of letters which he said had
been tempered with and added that his
mail had been subjected to an espionage
almost Russian in character He was
discussing that feature of the bill insert
ed by the House authorizing postal en-
ployes to join organizations.
Mr. La Follette's charge that his mail
has been opened is denied by officials OF
the department. Acting Postmaster Gen
eral Grantield pronounced the charges
absurd and said that if the sena0r S
mail was opened the responsibility does
not rest with the post Office officials or
employees Chief Inspector Robert c.
Sharp also made an emphatic denial.
Continuing his criticisms of the depart
ment, Senator La Toilette maintained
that employees had been discharged or
suspended for no other reason than that
they had Joined organizations designed to
improve labor conditions in the service.
He thought the clerks should have the
right to affiliate with the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. if they desired. Con-
demnng the gag rule of President
Roosevelt and President Taft, he urged
that permission be granted clerks to ap-
peal to members of Congress for redress
of their grievances
The Senate did not act on the provisions
regulating the right of employees to join
organizations or regulating the dismissal
or demotion of employees, and these
amendments will be disposed of when
voting on the bill begins this afternoon.

A close study of conditions in the Phil
ippine Islands for several years past has
convinced the army board appointed to
consider tropical diseases that no serious
effect on the nervous systems of the
soldiers has resulted from service in the
Philippines.
1.-The more rapid the eradication of the
idea" says the board, that the Philip
pine climate iniuriously affects the nerv-
Gus system the more rapid will be the
decrease of such mild forms Of neuras-
thenia and irritability as are due largely
to a preconceived dread of the effects
of Philippine residence. 1t seems to us
that the figures on the relation of
tropical diseases to invalidism are
strong evidence in favor of the assump-
ton that most of the morbidity, which
formerly occurred as a result of resi-
dence in the tropics, was due not to
the climate, but to infections which, in
the light of present knowledge. can al
most entirely be avoided by good SANTA
ton"
Insanity Here and There.
In another part of it's report the
board says that official reports for the
past six years show that insanity and
nervous diseases have been no more
common among the soldiers in the Phil
ippines than among those in the United
States, and also that there has been
no material difference between the
suicide rate in the Philippines and in
the United States 1t appears that heat
and humidity. combined with homesick-
ness, infections and monotony, account
for most. if not all, of the injurious
effects seen in tropical lands.'
The board says that neither the type
of complexion nor the use Of orange
red underwear eXerted any appreciable
influence on the blood pressure, nor
was it shown that small men are better
fitted than large ones for tropical
service. Unsparing condemnation was
given by the board to the practice of
wearing leggings in the tropics, which
practice is described as violative of the
first principle of comfort and health
in a warm country. namely loose, well
ventilated clothing.
The heat generated by leggings and
the imperfect ventilation, the board
says. predispose to skin diseases and
further interfere with blood circulation,
without any compromising gain in eff
ffciency, especially in the case Of those
engaged in sedentary occupations.
