FIGHT ON TYPHOID.
Efforts Being Made to Check
Spread Of Disease.
Soldiers Ia tho Regular Army officers
and Enlisted Men IN the Navy, and
Hundreds Of MIlitlamen Are
Being vaccinated.

Washfngton.-Ths government has
demonstrated that typhoid fsvse 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. It 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.
cordtng 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.

with typhoid vaccine in Texas last
year In district in which many un-
vaccinated persons died Of the disease.
not one contracted the malaGy, 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 nor
ious typhoid germs in all sections of
the country. Under present conditions
OF sanitation, save in few places, no
one is proof against an attack of tho
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, millions
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 a large per-
centage of the Inhabitants, steps have
been taken by sanitary engineers to
prevent future epidemics. In many
cases, however, these preventive meth
DDS have been useless, for the fever
has broken out anew at times when

Snakes stampeded Mail Clerks.

When one of the English mail bags
was opened at the Port Elizabeth
(Cape Colony postoflce five live
snakes, each about two feet six inches
long, darted out. Their appearance
disorganized the work in the sorting
department for upwards of an hour,
after which they were finally captured
and delivered to a director of the
Port Elizabeth museum, to whom they
had been dispatched from West
Bromwich, England. 1t appears that
the snakes, which turned out to be of
a harmless variety, were packed in q
torpid condition in a moss-lined wood
en- box, perforated with number of
air holes. It Is surmised that the
heat of the tropics reused the reptiles
from their torpor and that they wrig-
gled out Of the box into the mail bag,
in which they existed for the re-
mainder Of the voyage

LOOK FOR THE READY CASH
voters In Corsica Can Never Be 40
cused Of Not Having Eye to
the Main Chance.

The island of Corsica. although q
part Of the republic Of France. is quite
different in its customs from the re-
public and never ceases to furnish
reading matter out Of the ordinary for
the Partisan journals. The Corsicans
have, 1t appears, a decided penchant
for millionaire candidates for the
chamber of deputies and are always
on the lookout for this admirable ma
terial. Yet there is between them
and the millionaire singular misap-
prehension. Tho islanders desire
that millionaires be candidates be-
cause Of the mama that falls upon
their country during an electoral
campaign, but they do not desire to
elect them. AS for the millionaires,
they are perfectly willing to spread
the mama, but they also wish to be
elected.
Recently" says a Paris journal,
zone Of our most successful money
makers went to Corsica to visit his
future department. At his debarka-
ton several dozens of Corsicans re-
ceived him with 'hourrahs' and guns
were fred, which, down there, Is the
last word Of enthusiasm. He under
took tour of the country. At each
village. Corsicans, magnificent In local
color. acclaimed him and wakened the
echoes with gunpowder.
"At the third village, however. he
had something of a sensation. He
had visit from farmer who said to
him: We are four brothers, all vot-
ers, ready to vote for you. Buy for
me the meadow that Is ON the other
side of the village and you have our
votes
How much is this Meadow

After tour Of eight days the mil
lionaire calculated that to pay for all
the votes that had been offered to him
would require 1--WE or six million
francs. And even after that expendi-
ture he would not be certain OF cleo.
ton.
HE withdrew from the canvass. but
he had already expended some hun
dred thousand francs, of which his en-
thusiastic welcomers had their full
share. They really would like to have
him come again."

maid in her teens cannot possibly be
fixy, worldly wise In dress so far az
the effect of her toilet goes, although.
Eof course, the lovely simplicities
achieved are all matters for the pro.
foundest study.
Where there is to be only one dance
frock for the season, there is nothing
more useful than white, which can be
varied with alternate sets Of ribbons
in two colors. Or the narrow bands Of
flowers SO much used on evening dress
could form one set. and as the little
satin posies Of these are made by
hand, here is some dainty work for
the girl herself. Such flowers are
strung along wire scatteringly trim
med with leaves; this is bound all
ready for the posies, which may be
Of pink or blue satin or gold or sill
YER tissue. With the merest scrap Of
gold lace for cleaning petal or two
and half yards of pink satin for the
hearts of the posies, the most charm
ing floral banding could be made. The
satin flowers are always more beauti-
full with a touch Of tinsel, and a
varied coloring Of the posies-one
pink. the next violet, the next blue,
etc.-is both rewarding and econom-
icla kink. A little remnant of ribbon
In each color would accomplish this
prettiness, or old satin ribbons could
be cleaned up and used.
The dress pictured is of the quaint
sort which is so suited to a girl who
hasn't much Of figure, and as It Is
trimmed enough to look dressy, in any
light texture, 1t could be made of the
cheapest cotton wolfe. The style Of
this dress partakes Of the directoira
period. when the short waist and
scant skirt, plain or -primly trimmed.
and low neck and short sleeves were
features Of street frocks in the most
diaphanous textures. The charming
costume is in one, the gathered skirt |
and bebe bodice being jointed under
at satin belt which trims the dress
here. The material is a very thin quail
ity Of white smarquisette-it can be
had for SO cents yard-this being
used also for the plaitings, which are
headed with the satin roses and tiny
leaf-bands aforementioned. The UNI
derslip is of blush pink satin. the pos
les pink and the folded belt and front
sash are In natter blue.

Quite the most luxurious of the new
blouses are those made almost en-
tirely of real lace.
In one model point de venise, hlet
and valenciennes laces are combined.
The scheme chosen is simple, but the
laces are arranged in effective panels
and motifs joined with the valen.
ciennes, the most delicate Of the
three laces. The new real lace blouses
have touches of gold or silver thread
intermingled with the lace.
Lingerie blouses such as are seen
sometimes beneath heavy coats have
long, close fitting sleeves finished
with dainty wrist frills.

Mendlnq Gloves,

The safest and best way to mend
gloves that have ripped at the seams
or split across the back or palm is to
carefully buttonhole the edges Of the
tear with fine silk matching exactly
the color of the kid.
After both sides Of the rem. are but.
tonholed, catch the stitches together
through the center, sewing over and
over and taking up each stitch. BY
using this method the gloves will new.
er tear out again at the same place
This also makes q neat finish.

neutrality-suspicious. and Dainty
Touches Are the Main Requisites

are cheaper than those for day wear,
and SO, with much good sense in buy

without too much extravaganza. II the
