And So. said Frederick T. Russell,
major Medical Corps, United States
Army, we, shot few billion into
him
The same being bacilli. Anti-typhoid
bacilli. Russell fills his patients so full
that they bulge. But while their out
lines may be temporarily blurred by
the multitude of their little guests. they
are forever after immune to typhoid.
Which is what Russell is after.
He has set a worlds record of army
health in the camps along the Mexican
line. Approximately 10000 men are
strung along there, shooting patriots
back into the line of fire. Not all the
camp sites were we'll selected. The SOL
diers have the habits that human beings
are apt to have when they have been
kept on halter long enough to grow
beany. But since last October there
hasn't been single case Of typhoid
among them. Compare that with the
Jacksonville camp during the Spanish
so-called war. Every fifth man of the
10000 camped there had typhoid. Some
authorities run the figures higher
Gets All the Praise.
Russell isn't entitled to all the credit
for the army's freedom from sickness.
Camp sanitation has become science
lately. But army officials give him all
the praise for protecting our men,
against typhoid. He was STRIPPING
bacteriologist at the close of the Spanish
war; English experimenters had discov-
cred the anti-typhoid serum some years
before. But too many of our army sur
geons then belonged TO the sulphur and
molasses school of physic. 1t wasn't I'M
til after a commission reported 1avuranIy
that Russell was given permission to
specialize with the serum. The advances
made since then have been largely due
to his work New York and a score of
other great cities are using the army
anti-bug and the Russell methods. This
country leads the world in securing eff
fective immunity from typhoid.
Treatment Compulsory.
One reason why Russell has been so
successful is that the treatment is com
pulsory in the American army. Faddists
say this is an assault upon the rights of
the Individual and the rockies say the
same thing. except they say it rougher.
Nevertheless practically every one of the
81 600 men of the United States Army has
been northumberland there is no typhoid
in the army today. Also. being at heart

Death OF Polk Miller.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 2O.-Polk
Miller, a Richmond business man,
known throughout the South for his
plantation stories of war tine and
his performances on the banjo at
many Confederate Reunions, died
suddenly at his home here tonight.
He was SO years old.
In late years Mr.. Miller had been
pressed into service by the Chamber
Of Commerce to help entertain 30 or
40 National organizations which held
their annual conventions here. With
banjo he frequently accompanied
his "darkey quartette" and related
many original and amusing stories
in the negro dialect.
He appeared in nearly every South
ern State, often with Colonel Tom
Booker another Confederate soldier.
A week ago he was the entertain.
er at smoker rendered the Ameri.
can Gas Institute by the City OF
Richmond.
For 80 years or more he travelled
over the South but seldom appeared
out of that territory, because, as he
explained, his dialect stories else.
where were not understood.

SHOULD NOT OCCUR AGAIN.

We quite agree with the News
and Observer when it says:
There should never be another
year in North Carolina with no in
vitation from any city in the State
to the Confederate veterans to
make it the host city of the Confed-
crate Reunion. It is astonishing that
no city should have asked this year
for the honor of entertaining the
old soldiers.
We had supposed that North Car
DINA cities. through their various
booster" organizations, were pre-
pared to measure up to their oppor-
tunities-for it is an opportunity and
a privilege, not an irksome task, to
entertain the veterans of the War
Between the States-but it seems
that cog has slipped somewhere.
The oversight should not be allowed
to occur again."

A POLITICAL Wall.

The following verses were dropped
into our hands this week with re-
quest that we publish them. Here
are the lines as they were written:
o, great and glorious ruler of this
dear old county,
Have mercy on some of thy long
time voters,
And allow them to run for part of
thy bounty.
Which for years you've given
your drown skin toters".
And if this request you cannot grant
Because of thy rules, precepts and
commands,
Answer us not with you "shant"!
But lend an ear to thy peoples de-
mands.
We have heretofore with Bonded
Accepted yours the crown to win,
Hoping time would show to thee,
Your tyrant's reign must come to
end.
We thank thee that upon thy royal
throne
We may cast wishful eye,
Knowing that it. s all your own,
And may be till you die.
We know the doors of thy royal court
Turn upon hinges "STERLING'
And we on its innocence dote
While the wheels of injustice go
whirling.
We long to browse in thy pastures
"GREEN",
And sip the sparkling water in its
flow,
Free from care, free from toll, by
all eyes unseen
Except those of your shepherd,
thy beautiful JOE.
Oh, king, please unlock to us thy
boosted treasure,
So we may know whence cometh
thy powers,
Do it gently, arouse not the dis
pleasure
Ofneither your right or left "Bow-
ERS".
We do not believe you rule with
iron hands,
AS we've been taught in years
gone by,
Because at the threshold your
"HUNTER" stands,
To stop all those who wish to try.
Nay. nay, you say from your politi-
cal throne,
My official garment you shall not
soil;
Back in the ranks you shall always
| roam
While mine shall live by your toll.

slashed or slit skirt and its cOmpan-

mercilessly scored by FIR. f. ]. Jansen,
pastor of the st. Vincent's Catholic
church. The enactment Of city
ordinance and it's rigid enforcement
were recommended to bring some
women to their senses.
Any woman who wears such a
costume into my church will be
asked to leave or will be elected. .

a step from the pinnacle where we
now stand TO the condition of the saw
age tribes who wear no clothes at all.
il is time for the law to step in and
take a hand. If the evil cannot be
checked in any other way, city coun-
ellis should pass ordinances against
all immodest forms of dressing; TO
appoint police TO watch for infrac-
tions with the power to order from
the street any and all women who APP
pear thereon improperly or immod-

PHILADELPHIA, July 29.-Phila-

garments she would be sent to Jail.

woman who refused 10 give her name.
Policeman Walsh was travelling
along his beat when sighted the young
woman and her skirt. He hesitated
first between the temptation 10 flee
end the desire To carry out the law.
Bystanders saw him take of his coat.
and this meant Walsh was getting
ready 10 rush 10 the rescue Of the
city. Approaching the young woman
he threw his coat about her shutting
off the view given by the skirt. and
then escorted her before the court.

FAIR BATHERS MUST
WEAR ENOUGH SKIRTS
Chicago Mayor Issues Edict to- the
Police TO See That Women
Are Properly CARRIED.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-Mayor Harri-
son Monday directed the police to see
that proper customes are worn by
women at the public bathing beaches
The mayors attention was called to
the picture in a newspaper showing
a woman who had taken off her
bathing skirt after she had gone in
the water.
Such exhibitions are worse than
the cabarets," said the mayor. No
woman should think of wearing that
kind of a costume and my idea is
that the police should gently but
firmly insist on the lady putting on
proper cOstums."
