Typhoid fever is the bane Of all
large cities. Small towns are often
declmated by an epidemic of the dis.
ease. Travellers fall prey to the nox-
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 the
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

centage of the inhabitants, steps have
been taken by sanitary engineers to
prevent future epidemics. In many
cases, however, these preventive meth.

FIND MANY RELICS
Amherst Men Make Many Dis

Biological Expedition Now on Its Way
Homo With Many Scientific Treas
ures and After Finding a COL
ony of Prosperous Beers.

New York.-After having passed six
months devoted to scientific explora-
ton in the wilds of interior Patagonia,
the members of the Amherst college
biological expedition are homeward
bound from Buenos Ayres to New
York by way of London, bringing with
them many important contributions to
science and a fund of Interesting ex-
periences.
The expedition, which left for Pata-
gonia on July last, is in charge OF
Prof. F. B. LOOMS of the chair OF
biology in Amherst college. His asso-
ciates are Waldo Shumway, Amherst,
1911; Layton Turner, Amherst, 1912,
and William Stein.
Letters recently received from Pro-
fessor LOOMS by his associates in
Amherst and from Mr.. Turner by his
mother report that the expedition has
discovered some entirely new biolog-
ical specimens and gathered much val
liable geological data 1t has shipped
plete prehistoric skeletons, Is skulls
and large number of jaws, which in
clude fine specimens of the Eocene-
horse, elephant, rodent, primate,
notostylopus and a large variety OF
other specimens taken from the bone
beds discovered by the party.
Some of the most valuable additions
to geological knowledge are the rich
marine deposits which the Amherst
men discovered, In some instances at
levels thousand feet above the sea.
Amongs these are specimens of petri-
fed trees, some six feet in diameter,
which are supposed to have been
driven in by Atlantic storms Of the
prehistoric ages. In one spot they
found what appeared like an entire
raft of these huge trees. Members
of the party also collected the fossil
remains of marine life, such as
sharks teeth, alligators and turtles,
from beds hundreds of feet above the
present sea level. Shells Of bivalves
similar to the oyster, but a foot or
more in diameter, were found in the
same locality.
The present expedition is the third
of series which has been financed
by the Amherst class of 1896. --.-.-.-

According to eminent government
officials, the annual toll of typhoid
fever in the United States, which runs
well up into the thousands, is an alb
solute waste of life. Were 10000 lives
claimed annually by football. by box
ing, by war, by flre-fighting, or by per-
sons being caught by fire in moving
picture theaters, the people of the
country would rise up in wrath and de-
mand' that such fatalities cease with.

fever, which, when not fatal, often
leaves Its victims handicapped for life,
and the people are more tolerant, al
though the disease may be prevented,
as may the fires in moving picture
shows or tho fatal accidents on foot
ball helds. .-
While anti-typhoid vaccination is alb
solutely infallible under certain limi.
tations in the protection of the indi-
vddual, the government and many of
the public health officers in the larger
cities of the country are of the opin-
ion that antityphoid vaccination
should not, at this time at least, be-
come general in the big cities. They
fear, that, should the citizens of a
large city become vaccinated as a
whole against typhoid fever, the city
as a whole would become careless in
ssanitary matters.
The government wants 1t distinctly
understood that typhoid vaccination
should not lessen the sanitary precau-
tons at the bedside In cases of the fe-
yer, the distinctions of the typhoid
excreta In the household, the keep
ing Of water supplies, both private and
public, free from contamination, the
publication OF public Wster supplies
where impurities are indicated, and
