rNOCULATION AGAINST FEVER.
Growing Practice by Guarding
Against Infection by Disease.
(Sprinfield Republican,

1t is only a question of time when
vaccination against typhoid fever will
become so general as not to excite
remark. Now that the vacation sea-
son has come around again, with the
exposure to typhoid germs it brings,
the public health authorities are urg-
ing upon the people in many parts of
the country the use of the preventive.
Our own State Board Of Health. for
example, has sent letters to large cor
poratiOns throughout the State urg-
ing that all statesmen who travel
widely throughout the country, espe-
cially through the South. be inocu-
lated with anti-typhOid vaccine. The
Massachusetts death rate from tv-
phoid fever last year was rs for
every 900 persons, but in the
South. for example, the Incidence of
the fever runs up in many cases as
high as ten times our record. or
course, typhoid acquired in other To-
calitics is contributory cause of this
son the board urges incubation. The
material for this is furnished free by
the board to citizens of the State.
In Philadelphia the director Of the
department Of health and charities,
Dr.. Neff, is prepared to vaccinate all
persons who may apply for treat
ment He makes the positive state
ment that typhoid fever, like small
poX, can now be prevented by vacci-
nation. He particularly urges that
those who are planning to visit coun-
try districts take the treatment. Thus
are the public health authorities
agreeing that the efficiency Of anti
typhoid fever vaccination in prevent
ing, or in lessening the severity of
the attack in the small proportion of
cases in which the disease occurs in
spite Of vaccination, has been estab-
lished beyond question. Further
more, the vaccination against ty-
.phoid, when performed in surgi-
cally clean manner, is as simple and
harmless a process as that against
smallpox. 1t requires three injections
of the typhoid vaccine under the skin
at intervals Of from seven to ten
days, and about twenty days Is re-
quired for the vaccinated person to
develop immunity or protective re-
sistive power against typhoid fever
germs. There is a mild reaction af-
ter each injection, causing some mi
nor discomfort such as weakness and
perhaps a chill or slight nausea, but
in the thousands of vaccinations per-
formed in the United States army
and elsewhere no serious harm has
ever resulted

Where Sheep Grow Largest.

Some OF the largest feeces ever
produced come from the State of
Washington. Sheep grow to large
size on the ranges in the Snake River
Valley. What is believed to be the
largest fleece ever taken from sheep
was brought to Pullman, Wash, by
j. Ross HUSKY, rancher. The fleece
weighed sixty pounds. At the pre-
vailing price for wool ,his fleece Is
worth almost So. Three fieeces from
the same flock of Rambouillet sheep
weighed 142 pounds, and another one
tipped the scales at so pounds.

BROUGHTON ON WOMAN's DRESS
Says Devil Would Enjoy Walk Down
Broadway, New York.

Atlanta, Sept. ALL the 'Jay
across the ocean to help root for the
Atlanta ball team, DR.. Len G..
Broughton, fresh from London, was
an enthusiastic figure at Ponce de
Leon PARK yesterday afternoon, and
lifted his ,oice with the other At
lanta fans to cheer the crackers.
I'VE don't have base ball in Lon
dom said DR.. Broughton, land it is
rare treat to be back again where |
can enjoy seeing my old home team
play"
DR.. Broughton will be here through
Saturday Of this week, will visit
other Southern towns, and will be
back in London by October 1st.
The former Atlanta preacher. now
world-famous, says that the dress of
Atlanta women is not as extreme or
immoral as in New York. He says
he doubts very much whether ."the
devil would enjoy walk along
Peachtree to the extent that his Sa-
tanic Majesty would enjoy a like
stroll on Broadway"
The women who affect the ex-
treme style Of few clothes are but a
coterie of rapid ones who do not in
any way represent the great bulk Of
American women" declared Dr.
Broughton when asked to further en-
large his views on the interview he
gave on landing in New York.
The Slit skirt. shadow dress and
other styles Of dress, or lack of
dress, can hardly be other than the
devils own invention" he reiterated
In sharp contrast to what DR..
Broughton says are the views of Dr.
Lincoln Mcconnell, who, by coinci-
dence, arrived the same day as DR..
Broughton to take charge of the Tab
ernacle pastorate, which was DR..
Broughton's old charge.
DR.. Mcconnell takes the view that
many women do not mean to be
bad by wearing the slit skirt and
other scanty garments. Modern
woman" he says, "does not mean
near as much by her fads as people
think. Neither Is she bad, nor has
she given up her ideas of virtue. The
fact that she has gone to extremes N
dress, AS in other things, is simply
an indication Of the general trend of
the times to throw off restraint Peo-
pie should not be needlessly alarmed
at the bad, for the pendulum will
swing back again, and only then will
we be able to understand the good
that has been reaped from the pres
ent movement. Woman will then
have universal suffrage" -.

$3, 100000 LOSS BY STORM.
North Carolina Coast Swept by Gale.
Many Reported Dead.

Washington, N. c., Sept. 4.-Prop-
erty valued at more than $3,00O,0OO
Is reported to have been destroyed,
and rumors are current of a heavy
loss of life, as the result of the de-
structive storm that swept the east
ern Carolina coast yesterday. Wire
communication with the stricken dis
trict only was meagre tonight. Eff
forts to verify by wireless reports of
many casualties on Ocracoke Island
in Pamlico Sound, have been fruit
less. All Wireless stations in that
vicinity are believed to be wrecked
by the storm.
The greatest damage to property
was in Beaufort county. Havoc was
wrought by the storm among the fish
ing craft in the Pamlico river In
Washington business houses and
manufacturing plants along the wa
ter front were partially swept away.
The total damage in this county
alone was roughly estimated at So
100000.
Hit Sound Towns.
The fury Of the gale chiefly was
centered on towns along Pamlico
Sound, among these being Morehead
City, Beaufort, Newbern, Washing
ton, Bayboro, Belhaven and a score
OF smaller places. A deluge Of rain
accompanied the wind. The tide in
Pamlico Sound was many feet above
the ordinary water mark In Wash
ington the streets were flooded to a
depth Of several feet.
All points along the coast report
heavy damage to shipping. or the
coast Of Hatteras the six-masted
schooner George w. Wells was driven
ashore and pounded to pieces by the
heavy surf. The crew were rescued
only after desperate work by life
savers. An unidentified British oil
ship is reported ashore a few miles
north Of Ocracoke Inlet. Life saw
ers were attempting to reach her.
Three miles to the south a scrGoner
with one mast standing and no signs
of life on board is reported pounding
in the breakers.
Small Craft Wrecked.
At Beaufort, N. c., many small
craft were capsized or smashed
against harbor breakwater over
which the seas were running. The
steamer NJ. M. Marks had her pro-
peller and rudder damaged. Mail
boats from Core Sound reported that
all wharves for 25 miles along the
shore had been destroyed, many
houses blown down and hundreds of
cattle and horses drowned. No loss
of life was reported in that section.
The Hatteras wireless station is
near the scene Of the reported Ocra-
coke disaster. 1t also was reported
that the revenue cutter Seminole had
been ordered to Ocracoke Island,
where 1t is rumored several hundred
lives were lost. Efforts to verify this
rumor at late hour tonight were
futile.

Success.

What is success? The accum
ulatlon of great riches? Seeur-
ing high Office and gaining the
applause of the public? Or it is
giving the best that is in us, in
practical way, TO the public for
the good of mankind? For one
to give to the world the best that
is in him, in the most useful
way, he must be able to make
home what it implies, the hap
pest place on earth. Study to
know how can be born pure,
h 'althy aud apply the know ledge
correctly. But remember your
lives as parents must be pure,
healthy end loving before these
qualities can be given to your
children or to others. Give your
children q trustful, pure and
worthy example to follow, with
kind and loving words, and have
their physical, social, mental,
spiritual and business natures
fully developed by the right
training and teaching. Give the
best that is in you in your every
dav business affairs to your work,
whether on the farm, in the
workshop, behind the counter, IN
the schoolroom. Remember, the
keynote is, seek the truth, know
how to rightly apply it and live
it among YOUR fellow beings with
a pure and loving heart.
