States army and superintendent of the
Sequoia national park, Ranger, Cal.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, the
author, whose latest story, IT. Tenn
barom," is running in The Century Mag
azine, has objected from the start to
any change in the curious name of this
novel. She recently wrote to her Eng
fish publisher as follows;

points of the book, and most people

Typhoid from watercress.

Any attempt to trace typhoid infec-
tion to the use of uncooked vegetables
such as lettuce, watercress and celery is
likely to succeed only under rather pc
culiar conditions. Ordinarily, the distr-
button of such articles of food to large
circle of consumers, and the difficulty
of discovering, several weeks afterward.
that such things were eaten, and by
whom, are facts that conspire to render
MS ignorant of the real frequency of
such sources of infection. A remarkable
typhoid outbreak apparently due to pol
luted watercress has recently been re-
ported from Philadelphia to The Jour
nal of the American Medical association.
At a wedding breakfast, June "a, with
guests in attendance, nine
teen persons ate watercress sandwiches,
eighteen of whom later developed ty-
phoid fever. Investigation by the Phila-
delphia bureau of health showed strong
reason for suspecting watercress to be
the vehicle of infection.

had broken into the Salisbury postotlice

loss, it would seem clear that the rate
OF profit in company taking the risks
inherent in a telephone business, must
exceed six per cent per annum in order

shall show you the figures relative to

FOR GOOD ROADS.
Federal Government Cooperating with
the States.

Secretary Houston of the department
of agriculture says that the state and
federal governments should work togeth-
er for highway Improvement in order
that large proportion OF the money an
nually spent for road construction may
not be wasted.
In his own department the office of
public roads has been demonstrating the
value of proper road building by the
construction of certain object lesson
roads, and the forest service is carry
ing out his idea of national and state
cooperation in road building. The law
requires that 10 per cent of the gross
receipts from the national forests shall
be spent in the states in which the for
ests are situated This money is ex
pended for road Improvement under dd-
rect control of the secretary of agri
culture
The amount appropriated under this
act, based on the receipts OF the ma
tional forests for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1912, is 1894 ,63S.6S. From the
1912 receipts for this 10 per cent road
item, there is an additional S134,83l10,
which is still available.
In administering the 10 per cent road
fund, forest officers charged with the
actual plans and expenditures in the
neighborhood of their forests have, inI
almost all cases, secured an equal or a
larger cooperative fund from state au-
thorities for the building of certain
pieces of road.
With the money thus expended many

series will wind up this afternoon,
with Connie Mack's Athletics cham
pions of the universe for the third
time in four years. ...
Christy Mathewson, with his firing
arm and his wonderful brain, is the
only obstacle between the Mackmen
and victory. Matty is an uncertainty.
That he is even conceded chance
to beat the Macks is as remarkable
tribute as can be dealt any man.
He trimmed them once, pitching
with a strong arm. Today he must
do the work with his brain, just as
Bender did yesterday. He has only
rested since Wednesday. Is that long
enough to put him in shape to quen
the American Leaguers for the sec
ond time in a week?
Mathewson is the only pitcher on
the Giant staff who has proven effec-
tive against the Athletics. Vanguard,
Tesreau, Demaree and Crandal have
all been clouted from the box. They
had nothing deceptive.
Vanguard came back yesterday
and worked grandly after he warm
ed up to his task. But, he was in a
different position than on last Tues
day. Then he was in a fight. Yester-
day he was stemming rout, leading
a forlorn hope. He had nothing to
lose and everything to gain. There
was nothing to worry him, as the
game was already lost, and the Mack
men, content with their apparently
safe lead, did not attack with vicious
ness. -.>
Start the RUDE again and he will
receive the same treatment that was
handed him Tuesday.
If Matty wins today McGraw will
still be in desperate straits. Mack is
certain to use youngster and Plank
will be ripe Monday. No man of suffi-
cient worth is left in the Giant camp
to face the Gettysburg Gunner.
