the slightest touch Of feeling should
remain. All who participated In the
primary are In duty bound to support
the nominees. Any other course Will
be dishonorabie. The only thought
should be to defeat Republican aspir-
alton TO control the county.
If the ticket possessed no other
merit. the time honored Democratic
doctrine Of Absolute submission to
the will Of the majority would en-

Fruit and raw vegetables, unless
thoroughly washed in pure water. may
also convey germs. Cooking VII
give safety.
The house-fiy is q, dangerous car
rier of this disease. The insect may
alight upon filth in which TYPHOID
germs abound, and may then carry
the germs to the kitchen or to the
dining table. The germs are 80 smnsl
that hundreds OF them may cling % 3
fiy's feet. Once deposited In milk or
other food the seeds of this disease
multiply fast.
The use OF typhoid serum as ore
yentive has for several years been
made obligatory for every one IN the
army under forty years OF age-Ihat
is in the typhoid age zone. With
vaccination the Texas maneuYer d.
vision had but one case Of typnoId
among 1869 men In camp. The
French army In Morocco. 1000
strong, did not, owing to the use Of
serum, have death, In a land rife
with the malady.
Contrast this with the Seventh
army corps In camp at Jacksonville.
Fla, in the Spanish war. when 1870
men had 2,693 cases of typhoid and
24s deaths--over a quarter of the
force disabled. Yet this was held a
fair record then until Japan taught
our army how to protect Itself. and
later anti-typhoid has expelled this
disease from civil life. when careful
disinfection and vaccination are the
rule.
