Typhoid vaccination, at first VOL
untary measure in our army, has
since July /, 1911, been made compul-
sorry for all officers and enlisted men
below the age OF 10 years and who
have not had an authenticated case Of
typhoid fever.
The immunization of the army has
proceeded so rapidly, We learn from
the Journal of the American Medical
Association, that at the present time
somewhat over 10000 men have COM
pieted the necessary three inocula-
tons. Among this entire number,
and covering a period of nearly three
years, but twelve cases OF typhoid
have developed and no death has &C.
Cured One man at the Guantanamo
naval station died five days after the
first incubation from case of walk
ing typhoid. This is the only fatal
case OF typhoid in the government
service in any one on whom the in
oculation had been begun.
The record of the maneuyer diyi-
sion in camp at San Antonio. Texas,
during the past summer. on the same
authority; has been most instructive.
An army division having an average
strength of 1880 men, all inoculated.
occupied the same camp for four
months, from March to july, and in
this command but one case OF typhoid
developed This was mild case in
hospital corps man who had not
completed the NEGOTIATIONS necessary
for protection. There were forty-nine
deaths in the city OF San Antonio for
the same four months. During the
same period that this camp existed
at San Antonio, between three and
four thousand men were in camp at
( Galveston, Texas, and in this com
mand no case of typhoid occurred,
while the city of Galveston furnished
1872 cases of the disease during the ex-
istence Of the camp. The city and
the camp had the same water, milk
and food supply, the only difference
being that the camp had been protect
ed by iuoculation.
About 1900 men were scattered
along the Mexican border mostly in
small camps, many Of them in local.
ties where typhoid was present. yet
OF this command only one man con
traeted typhoid, which ended in re
eovery. In recent number of the
Journal Captain Phelan, of the medf
cal corps Of the army, contrasts the
record OF these camps with those o.
/ The concentration camps of the Span
lsh-American war. and says that it is
inconceiyable that, with such condi
tons, the practical abolition Of ty
pfoid could have been effected with
cut the use Of NEGOTIATIONS.

BEAUTY.

o@NS
Beauty was born Of the worlds desire
For the wandering water. the wander
ing fire.
Under the arch of her hurrying feet
She has trodden a world full of bitter
sweet.
The blood of the violet is in her veins
Her pulse has the passion of April
rains.
Out of the heart of satin flower
God made her eyelids in one sweet
hour.
Out OF the wind He made her feet
That they might be lovely and Turing
and feet.
Out of a cloud He woye her hair
Heavy and black with the rain held
there.
What is her name? There's none that
knows
Mother-o. Mischief. or Mouth-o' Rose.
What is her pathway? None may tell,
But it climbs 10 heaven and it dips
to hell
The garment on her is mist and fire,
Anger and sorrow and hearts desire.
Her forehead jewels an amethyst,
The garland TO her is love-in-a-n.ist.
Her girdls is Of the beryl-stone,
Aud one dark rose for her flower has
grown.
Filled TO the brim with the strength
O. the sun,
! passionate rose. and only one.
The bird in her breast sings all day
long
A wonderful. wls,ful, whispering song;
The song that is OF all passing
things.
None knows it-wingle=s or born
With wings.

that .'the winters are not nearly so

ornaments they had better be few and

WOMAN'S
VIEWPOINT
-. !, s,... ~. :

MOST OF the little quibbles which con-
AZ cern questions Of taste are still con
ducted by the sex which has the bet
ter opportunity Of reaching the ears Of
tho majority. When any one or any
thing Is worth denouncing the task is
rarely allotted to a woman. Whatever
may have been granted to feminine IN
telligence and capacity Of judgment,
the time has not come when Il could be
fairly said that women are established
and recognized as critical body.
There are few. II any, forms OF public
amusement which are controlled by
feminine authority. Hardly any devel-
opn,snts In the arts that entertain are
subject in the first instance to the APP
proval OF the sex to whose taste they
are intended to appeal quite as much
as to that OF man. But this Is not to
say that questions OF taste are decided
with thouRhtless ungallaptry by those
who seek 70 appeal 10 the world which
desires 20 be Interested and amused.
ON the contrary. we are frequently
told that books and plays are now in
creasingiy written with a view to femi-
nine approval. Pictures are painted In
the hope that they viii be bought by
the husbands of the women they de-
light. and even the more material re-
ouirements OF the pleasure seekers are
catered for with the recollection that
~she. too. wfIi be there when their ex-
oenence calls for admiration. This is.
OF oounse. Gathering.
Being, on the whole. rather an1iably
disposed than otherwise. women have
become accustomed 10 recognize such
considerations with perhaps greater
appreciation OF the motive than the
achievement It might certainiy seem
unRraoious n the sex for whom these
pleasures. even surprises, arc prepared
were continuously to call attention TO
their errors and shortcomings from the
feminine point Of view. A very little
reflection must show that the position

barrassment The old idea Of -somo-
thing for tho lady in its modern de-
velopment remains IN many ways rath-
er pathetic IN women's eyes. It is for
this reason no doubt that they prefer
TO accept with a feeling OF gratitude
what Is being done for their amuse-
ment. pleasure and edifioation.
Possibly an unforeseen result Of this
attitude is now making itself felt We

JEWELED
TRIMMINGS

WHEN very simple styles are II
fashion. as they have been foi
some months past and will be al
through the summer months. It fol-
lows naturally that our gowns must be
decorated with very handsome and ar.
tistic trimmings. II is interesting
therefore. to note that importers who
have been noted for their exclusive
novelties are now showing some ex-
quisite bead trimmings. suitable either
for afternoon or evening gowns. az
we'll as lovely ieweled buttons and
other accessories which give a note OF
distinction even to a perfectly plair
costume.
The bead trimmings worked on wide
or narrow bands of net are in lovely
combinations of color. especially II
the oriental effects, which are having E
great vogue in Paris just now. Some
of the designs are carried out in glis.
tening beads while others are in white
china beads or dull wood beads. ano
sometimes silk embroideries are intro
duced into the pattern.
| Girdles and hanging ornaments ir
antique gold or oxidized silver form an
other interesting feature of trimmings
and there are tassels, balls and acorns
to match for millinery and other pur-
poses where small hanging ornaments
are effective. Antique galloons can also
be bought by the yard. and there are
gold and silver laces OF every imagina
BILE width at popular prices.
Handsome jeweled buttons set IN oxi-
died silver are in great request this
season. especially in sapphire blue anc
ruby red, the coronation colors. which
are very much in evidence. Real tor
toise shell buttons are extremely fash.
ionable in Paris. and there are somt
novelties in wood and pearl buttons
for tailor made costumes. Wooder
beads for girdles and trimmings are
offered In every imaginable color. and
metal and glass beads are also spe-
ciafty.

rics there are insertions of the new
