Langley Was "Fosy."

The only Republican candidate
in kentucky this year who has a
look in is Congressman John W,
Langley. of the Tenth district. WHO
was renominated without opposition.
While apparently he has nothing to
fear from his Democratic opponent
Il. d. Stevenson of Pikeville. who
was likewise nominated without
opposition. he may be Bull Moosed
but the new party has never gained
much OF coothold in the Tenth
district and thus play into the hand
OF the willy Congressman. Besides,
Col Langley is somewhat OF Bull
Moose himself, at least he was
during the session of the regular"
Republican convention in Chicago
In June but he drew in his horns
when Taft got the nomination. Lol

TYPHOID Lumss IN WELLS.

The rural sections long considered
Ideal so far as concers the health
OF their inhabitants, have been
dealt a blow by physician investiga-
tors who maintain that two-thirds
of the cases OF typhoid fever In the
city owe their origin to insanitary
conditions In the country and to
polluted water supplies.
Farms. which are generally re-
mote from towns, cities, or 'othor
areas of congested population. would
seem to be almost ideally situated
for obtaining pure and wholesome
water, but in reality polluted water
is exceedingly common on them and
typhoid fever rates are usually
greater In country districts than N
cities. Typhoid fever is now almost
universally believed TO be transmit
ted solely through drink or food
taken into the stomach, and Is es-
pecially liable 10 be communicated
by polluted waters obtained from
shallow wells near spots where the
discharges OF typhoid patients have
been thrown upon the ground and
subsequently carried down through
the soil and 10 the wells, and II Is
DOUBTLESS principally this fact that
accounts for the disease being 90
common in farming regions.
On great many farms the well
is located ut point that may be
convenient to the dwelling. without
any regard for the possibility OF the
pollution OF the well water through
