phatic to ask all persons expecting
to teach in the county this year to
take the examination at the close

to attend the county and State in
stitutes both, if you can, this year.

natural course in getting into them,
SO the danger of this individual
and the Importance of care upon
his part becomes very apparent
The answering of the question,
Glow can / prevent typhoid fever?"
now becomes q simple matter. The
prevention simply means toprevent
the germs from travelling any of
the above mentioned avenues from
the sick to the well by:
First, killing the germs as soon
as they leave the body of the sick
or of the recovered, who are still
throwing off the germs. Disinfect
everything coming in contact with
a typhoid patient (preferably by
boiling). Disinfect the excreta by
chloride of lime or carbolic acid or
heat. Don't allow but few visitors
in the sick. room, and don't allow
the nurse to handle the food or the
drink of others. Screen the sick
room (if the entire house is not
screened) to prevent flies from
going from sick room to kitchen.
Second, after the patient is well
insist upon the use of sanitary
closet, which is screened and pro-
vided with metallic or wooden re-
ceptacles, which will prevent both
the spread by flies and the contain
ination of wells and springs. Ii
these are not provided continue to
disinfect the excreta.
Third, kill your flies and screen
your house and prevent the en-
trance of your neighbors' flies,
which may bring the germs from
his unsanitary closet to you,
Fourth, If you fear the previous
contamination of a we'll or spring
boil the water before using.
Fifth, screen or sprinkle with
chloride of lime your manure pits,
which will serve to keep flies away
from their breeding place.
You, my reader, will have OBJ
served that the prevention of this
disease involves little care in car
rying out a few simple rules Of
sanitation, and little expense in
constructing sanitary closet. Can
you sit idly by and see your neigh
Dor go down to an untimely grave
through ignorance of these simple
rules? / Knight add, will you allow
this deadly malady to enter the
sacred circle of your home through
negligence or Indifference upon
your part? Ponder the question
we'll.

articles relative to disease preven-
tion, and we ask you, reader, for
your cooperation to the extent that
you will put these rules into prac-
tice and interest your neighbor in
them.
For centuries past typhoid fever
has slain it's thousands, all because
we did not know it's cause and pre-
vention. Today we know the cause
and have the easy means of preven-
tion at our hands. So, then we
stumbled in the grave in darkness
without knowing the danger that
lurked about us. Today we step
into the grave in daylight all be-
cause of negligence or unnecessary
ignorance on our part.
How can one prevent typhoid
fever? A reply is rendered much
more simple il the question, "How
does one get typhoid fever?' is an
swered first. There are few pre-
factory remarks, however, essential
to the answering of both and the
writer would ask that you remem-
Der these.
First, typhoid fever is caused by
a germ called "Typhoid Bacillus"
Second, this germ does not fall
from the heavens nor rise from the
earth in fog, but travels directly or
indirectly from one individual to
another.
Third, this germ must be swal-
lowed by an individual for it to
cause typhoid.
Fourth, individuals with typhoid
are throwing off these germs in the
excreta all the time during illness,
continue to throw them off for
months after recovery, and occa-
siona1ly an individual continues to
throw them off for years afterward.
Theyare called "Typhoid carriers"
Fifth, this germ can live in soil,
filth and water { even in ice for
months) and can grow and multi
ply in milk at ordinary tempera-
ture. The reader will please re-
member the above statements.
Now, to thequestion, GLOW does
one get typhoid fever?" This
simply means how does this germ
travel from one individual to an
other? | will enumerate the usual
ways.
First, one can come in direct
contact with typhoid patient, get
the germ on the fingers and carry
them to his own mouth before
washing the hands.
Second, one can eat uncooked
fruit or vegetables With soiled
hands and get the germs into his
mouth.
Third, the excreta of a typhoid
patient can be disposed of without
being treated with a disinfectant,
and, If this'be on the ground, the
germs can seap into wells and
springs, and with thirst quench-
ing draught one gets the germs,
Flies may light and feed upon the
filth, carry the germs ito raw vege-
tables, milk vessels, or even to the
nnscreened dining room, and there
deposit them upon the table to be
served.
Fourth, the individual we'll of
typhoid but still throwing off the
germs is very dangerous charac-
ter If careless, because he may be
your dairyman and handle milk
vessels with hands soiled by ty-
sphoid germs. He may handle raw
vegetables or use an unsanitary
closet and throw off billions of
germs to which flies have access
for spreading in ways already men,
toned. This unsanitary closet

FIRE DESTROYS STORE
At new AUGUSTA

New Augusta, Miss, Nov. 1.-The
Smith Drug Company store burned
here Saturday night between s and 9
o'clock. Insurance covers about one
half, while the building, a wooden
structure, the property of Dr. H. P.
Smith, is clear loss, insurance hav-
ing just recently expired. F. W.
Smith owned the business and had
$1,400 insurance, while late inven-
tory showed about $4,000 in stock.
The central office of the New Au-
gusta Telephone Company was in the
building also. The service is cut off
as the office fixtures are mostly
burned, but little being saved, and
the company loss including cable stuff,
etc, is nearly $1,000.
The bucket brigade had to do fierce
battle with the flames to save the mer-
camille business of Harrison Brothers.
Fortunately the air was in an almost
complete calm, or large part Of the
business of the village would have
been swept away.

The Story of the Old French Market
and Its Wonderful Coffee

The old French Market, in New Orleans,
has been there for over 100 years. 1t is a long,
low building with open sides, filled with stalls,
from which are sold meats, vegetables, dry
goods and miscellaneous articles. 1t is typi-
cally French for, even now, English is hardly
spoken there, for the buyers, like the sellers. are
mostly of French, Spanish or Creole descent.
Scattered through the building are little
counters, at which coffee and lunch are sold at
almost any hour of the day or night. Even
before Spain sold Louisiana to France, when
coffee as beverage was unknown in many
parts of America. French coffee, in all its ex-
quisite perfection, was served at the old French
Market; no stranger ever visited New Orleans

Jackson and his victorious soldiers camped
near the Market for rest and refreshment. The
pirate, La Fitte came there; Henry Clay was en-
tertained nearby at the old Hotel Royal; while,
during the war, thousands of soldiers passing
through New Orleans, drank French Market Cot

and as consequence French Market Coffee
has become the National Drink of the South.
The ships on which the choicest growth of
coffees come to America are unloaded directly
at the docks at the French Market Mills,
avoiding transportation in freight cars in cold
climates. This makes a great difference in
flavor. And the old secret process of roasting
and blending, though taking longer than that
of ordinary mills, produces an exquisite favor
entirely different from that of ordinary coffees
The completion of the French Market Mills
and the shipping of this wonderful blend
throughout the South-has been recognized
everywhere as one of the greatest commercial
achievements in many years.

RELIGION OF FUTURE.

by Ella Wheelr Wilcox.)
All roads that lead to God are good.
What matters it, your faith or mine?
Both centre at the goal divine
OF Loves eternal Brotherhood.
The kindly life in house or street,
The life of prayer and mystic rite,
The students search for truth and
light.
These paths at one Junction meet.
Before the oldest book was writ
Full many prehistoric soul
Arrived at this unchanging goal
Through changeless Love, that leads
to it.
What matters that one found his
Christ
In rising sun, or burning fire?
II faith within him did not tire
His longing for the Truth suffced.
Before our modern hell was brought
To edify the modern world,
Full many a hate-filled soul was
hurled
In lakes of fire by his own thought
A. thodsand creeds have come and
gone,
But what is that to you or meF
Creeds are but branches of a tree
The root of Love lives on and on.
Though branch by branch proves
withered wood,
The root is warm with precious
wine.
Then keep your faith and leave me
All roads that lead to God are good.
