San Francisco, oct. 25.-A new
treatment of typhoid fever, based on
the injection of a serum drawn from
typhoid convalesoenrs, was announced
here by DR.. George r. Carson of the
Southern Pacific hospital at the an
nual convention Of the Pacific Coast
railway surgeons.
Now that prophylactic vaccination
against typhoid has been proved sue

shall rob typhoid of its terrors, its
third week of complir tion, it's pro-

threshold of its discovery, and that
we shall soon be able to abort

Typical typhoid can not be produced
among animals, DR.. Carson explained; ;

convalescents who had acquired i'm

The FLOWERING BULBS;
HOW TO RAISE Them

members Of the narcissus family. For
best results the bulbs are placed
among clean pebbles in rather shall
low receptables about the size and
shape of finger bowls These recep-
tacles, however, should have broad
bottoms so as not TO be tipped over
easily, because when the leaves devel-
op it takes only a small jar to upset
plant and receptacle.
When bulbs are to be grown in wa
ter they should be placed in the dark
until the bud at the apex of the bulb
itself is we'll developed. To move bulbs
from the dark into the light before the
development Of these buds is really to
waste time and often to court failure.
The only attention the bulbs need at
any time is to see that they have wa
ter within reaching distance either Of
their bases or of their roots. 1t is not
essential to have the bases of the
bulbs always in the water, but it is
necessary to have the roots immersed.
The favorite bulbs for winter bloom
ing and thse that can be most easi.
~ managed in either OF the ways out
lined are of two classes, first, the
perfumed ones, and second, those
without perfume.

Many inquiries are being made as to
the effect OF Judge Rogers decision re-
garding the sales by weight law, and
to give you an answer read the follow

partment:
your letter of the goth with refer
ence to the decision of Judge Rogers
received,
''In reply will say that you are to en-
force the law as heretofore, as Judge
Rogers decision effects only Franklin
county. If the upper courts uphold his
decision then it will be state wide.
"Under no consideration will the
merchants be allowed TO use false
measures. This all means that no
neasuring or Weighing device can be
used until it is sealed, not even by
agreement, and that all articles listed
In Sec. 6418-1 must be sold by avoirdu-
pois weight or numerical count, unless
by agreement in writing of all con-
tracing parties. Where there is a
standard of weight for bushel com
modify can be dealt in by the bushel
