TYPHOID CONQUERED.

Typhoid fever has been banished
| from the United States army. When
our soldiers are needed, hereafter the
| American people can feel sure that,
as far as this disease is concerned, the
| full strength of each company and
regiment will be on the firing line. In
| previous wars, from 10 to 40 per cent
| of the opposing forces have been in
the hospitals, incapacitated through
various diseases. During the Spanish
American war, out of 1873 soldiers
in camp at Jacksonville, Fla, there
were 1853 cases of typhoid. If this
division had been in the midst of an
active campaign it's fighting strength
would have been weakened about one
third, not only by the loss of these
patients, but also by the loss of the
men necessary to care for and trans
port them. Any means which will re-
duce or eliminate any of the diseases
from which soldiers have suffered in
the past will actually increase both
the strength and the efficiency of the
army. 1t will also greatly increase
the chances of our volunteer soldiers
returning safe from war, as disease
has, in every war in history SO far,
killed more soldiers than bullets. An
official announcement of the elimina-
ton of typhoid from our army is an
event in which every citizen should
feel a keen interest. In a recent issue
of the Journal of the American Med
ical Association, Major Frederick F.
Russell of the medical corps sum-
marizes the results secured through
vaccination. In 1902, with an enlist
ed strength of S0,77S men and Off
GERS, there were in our regular army
565 cases of typhoid. In 1909, out of
S4,O77 men there were 2S2 cases. In
March, 1909, vaccination was begun,
but the number vaccinated that year,
$780, was too small to affect the ratio.
In 1910 over sixteen thousand were
vaccinated, and at once the number
of typhoid cases began to diminish.
In 1911 there were only 20 cases. In
the same year vaccination for typhoid
was made compulsory on all persons
in the military service and on all re-
cruits. In 1912, the first year in
which the entire army was immunized,
there were only 81 cases, the last one
occurring December 10. 1912. Since
that date, now nine months ago, there
has not been a single case of typhoid
in the army.
Major Russell also reports that dur
ing the past four years over 100000 |
persons have been vaccinated without
a single death or injurious result. |
Such an experience on so large a |
scale certainly justifies his conclusion |
that by the general use of vaccination |
typhoid fever will soon become a |
negligible factor in our public health |

Sand for Stomach Ache.

Sand-parboiled, baked or fried-has
cured stomach trouble for George w.
Cromer, congressman from the Eighth
Congressional district; John Fitzgib-
bons, president of an iron company,
and Harry w. Long, lawyer, and twice
prosecuting attorney of Delaware
county. Despite much laughter that
greets them when they tell the stories
of their recovery from Indigestion, dys-
pepsia and other stomach troubles,
they are spreading the gospel of sand.
Fitzgibbons tried it out first. 1t
worked wonders for him. 1t was much
the same way with Cromer and Long.
With only half faith, but desperate
from years of suffering, they tried out
the sand cure and declare they are
again sound and whole in the regions
of the stomach, and that their general
health has been improved rs per cent.
Raw sand will do the trick for some
people, said Fitzgibbons. Baked
sand will do it for me- Another might
have to have the sand parboiled,
steamed or fried. Just look me over.
Before I took the baked sand cure 1
was nervous, generally run down and
subject to violent attacks of stomach
trouble which made me worthless at
my desk and a nuisance to my friends
and my family. If there is any one in
the world who feels better than I do
these days, who can stand more work
and be pleasanter about it than my
self, I'd like to get look at him. The
sand 1 use is the common ordinary
sand with the dirt picked out.''-Mun-

Is it worth while that we jostle a brother
Bearing his load on the rough road of
life?
Is it worth while that we jeer at each
other

God pity all in our pitifu1 strife
God pity all we jostle each other:
God pardon us all for the triumph we feel
When fellow goes down meath his load
on the heather.
Pierced to the heart; words are keener
than steel.
And mightier far for woe or for veal.
We're it not well, in this brief little
journey
On over the fsthmus, down into the tide
We give him a fish instead of a serpent,
Ere folding the hands to be and abide
Forever and aye in the dust at his side?
Look at the herds all at peace on the
plain
Man. and man only. makes war on his
brother
And laughs in his heart at his peril and
pain;
shamed by the beasts that go down on
the plain.
Is it worth while that we battle to humble
Some poor fellow-soldier down into the

All of us together like leaves in a gust,
Humbled indeed down into the dust.
